At this time, nothing to do with the ponds.

My immediate chore is getting internet and Ring.com installed. Ought to be done in a couple of weeks. Over Thanksgiving, Charlene and I spent 4 days there. We started to leave the place for a day trip to Oklahoma and found the front gate open. We always keep it locked; even when we are there. Somebody had used bolt cutters and cut the electric Co's lock. I assume that they had come in the previous night, noticed 2 vehicles and left. Since we don't live there, I figure the druggies will come back. I have a mobile home, construction office trailer, and shipping container and STUFF/JUNK.

I have hauled a lot of fishing/hunting/stuff plus other misc junk back to D/FW and put most of the tools into the shipping container. The shipping container has a lock with a 1/4 inch steel cover that is a PITA to get to. 4 wheelers stay in the shipping container and I have hauled my big tool box and tools into it. I put an additional chain and lock on the front gate. The chain and lock were around $90.00. But I'm not kidding myself that they can't get in. I have put up 4 black flash game cams but realistically I don't recognize myself when I do a walk test at 20 feet at night. I will also put up a pretty strong light to help the game cams. When I left there the other day I left the house and office trailer unlocked. No sense in making the druggies tear things up to get in.

I have gone from ballistic to paranoid and back to PO'd. I want somebodys butts in jail.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
