Hey Brian, have a good day.
Happy Birthday Highflyer!
May today bring you to new heights of happiness!
Happy B -Day Brian " May the sun shine on your panels today"
Happy Birthday, Brian. Keep up the good work with all of those ponds...

Happy birthday, Brian! Clear skies!
Happy Birthday Highflyer!!!
And a Happy Birthday from all of us in the Buckeye State
.
All, Thanks so much, I had a great and busy day!! I got to go fishing for a little while, demonstrate my shotgun handling prowess to a few ducks, Look at tractors for a friend, and best of all, I got to have a great diner with my family!! Cake was also part of the festivities!! (apparently I am 768 years old to my children and I also had five extra candles on the cake representing our five ponds!! It has been a great year, I hope to improve on it this year!!)
Allen, That is funny, Georgetopia was 2 degrees warmer than moretopia and extratopia. I could also "see" that around the heater, it was warmer than anywhere else in the pond, but still it was 51.4 degrees which means I may have to go to Mark's forage pond next year for more Tilapia!!
Speaking of Mark, That is awesome!! Between the two of you, man did I laugh!! Your creativity knows no limits!!
Ted, I am going to have to add my big project if I want enough heat!!
Bill, agreed!!
Sunil, agreed. Man was I dumb back then!!
Love the cat Phil, that is how my cat would look if I took her flying!!
Todd, my aircraft type has an EFVS (Enhanced Flight Vision System) , so I can "see" through bad weather, so it always looks clear to me, even at night!!!
Hang Loose, I have very fond memories of growing up outside of Dayton down by centerville, man that was a different time, I will always remember going out at sunrise with my friends and coming back home around dark for dinner, man did we have fun!! Flying over that area still brings back those fond memories.
Well, I always round down to the '9' in the decade below what I guess to be one's true age.
So, I put you in your 50's somewhere??
Happy belated birthday! Stuck inside due to snow. Here's 4.5 hr worth.
Sunil,
All good!! very low 50's!!
Scott, its 78 degrees here!! But not for long.......
No snow here either! The maintenance guy was mowing the lawn today!
This brief stuff we've been getting for a while is easy to live with. Could get ugly in late January-Early February tho. See what happens!
Scott, its 78 degrees here!! But not for long.......
Brian I saw a few dead Tilapia this past Saturday.
They were laying on the bottom a few feet out from the shore.
The Tilapia funeral homes in Texas are going to be
swamped in the coming days.
May the Tilapia of the Summer of 2013 Rest In Peace.
Agreed, My impromptu heater did help a little, but it can't ward off 15F. I fear Ice on all of the Topias this weekend. Heck the big pond may have ice on it before all is said and done. It will be interesting to see if the heater keeps an area open in Georgetopia or not.
I hope the bass got to eat most of them before it was too late.....
Wasn't it summer today? And winter tomorrow, what happened to fall?
Sorry this is late - been out of town working.
Hope your day was filled with fish thoughts.
Also late.
Hope you had a great day, many happy landings to come-
It was a great day. thanks for the wishes, late is really just early for next year!!
Happy belated birthday highflyer. I don't know how I missed it.
