On sunday we went to a outdoor living & watergardens store to get some plants that go into the pond. When we came upon the water lillies, we noticed a frog on top of a lilly pad. The gang went nuts, the gang being the rest of the family. So we picked out the lillies and moved to another plant area, and picked out those plants. Well being just a few feet away from the tubs/tanks that hold the different types of fish, the kids wondered over and started watching them. Soon i was called over and we were selecting fish. Everone knows that ever had a fish, it's sort of like picking out a puppy. The shape the size, the color or colors and so on. The kids noticed that in one tank there was big tadpoles with other fish. We asked about keeping tadpoles or frogs with the fish we have and were told they would be fine. The young very nice guy helping us gave us 4 for free. Now these tadpoles are about the size of a small dog biscuit, an 1"-1 1/2" long with there legs popping out, yet still have their tails, very cool the way they are changing yet caught between both stages. So getting home and setting up the plants, and introducing the new fish to the temps of my pond, and then freeing them into the pond was about 3 beers long. But i'm happy to say the newbies were welcomed to the pond by the smaller fish nicely.

But, dear ol' Ron ... he needs more help than that! 
However, he has become quite wily & is fighting back since your little tip... thank you very much. Just take a little longer to deal with him, is all...
Hey! How's the little fishes? I like your fish-pond idea. (You guyz don't freeze  down there? Do you have a fountain, or a pump?)
| | | VICTIM OF METAL wrote: | | I'm sorry old pal old buddy of mine! But Ron he twisted my arm, and well, i just had to fess up,lol. I promise it won't happen again, this month! He said he was getting his butt beat by a girl and that i had to help?

VOM... I can't believe you violated the Sacred Bartender Oath!
OMG... I am losing strength as we speak...
(Ron is now battling back and able to resist the Whiskey Force... grrr!) 
But, because your 'sugar' tip was so well-founded, I might find it in my heart to forgive you. I had my first Sour in weeks, yesterday ... and added a splash of Perrier. So... it's now a Whiskey Sweet 'n Sour Fizz!

| | | VICTIM OF METAL wrote: | | Early in the fall my family asked that i build a pond, a goldfish pond! Well i did, but i don't do things small,lol. So two weeks later the hole was dug, liner put in, and filled. Then in went the fish, some rock for edging and landscaping. And to this day i get up around 5:30-7:00 am, turn on the coffee and check on my boyz, that would be the fish. So yes, i'm obsessed with this new project in my backyard.
So what are you obsessed with lately? |
