I went to the fence store last week and picked up three more 24' sticks of heavy gauge galvanized pipe. That will be enough to finish pinning the floating section of my dock to the pond floor.
Still battling muskrats. We've dispatched five of them. Not sure how many are left, or if some new ones have moved in from next door. They are making a mess of things. I had a glorious stand of APW before they showed up. It is all but gone now. Most of the cattails have been wrecked and they're working on the arrowhead.
I've also been dealing with a nasty infestation of bladderwort. I've hauled out a mountain of it in the last few weeks, but I've stopped removing it since the last of the APW disappeared. It's about all that's left for the PK shrimp, fry fish, etc., to hide in right now.
