Haha...

Theo, I can relate. I've been sneeking up to our pond about every other day after work for the last month or so. My wife and I are planning to build our new home there this summer, and it's only about 15 minutes from my current home. Sometimes I throw a line in. Sometimes I just sit there and look... and dream. An hour or two later usually, I finally snap out of it and realize I need to head home for the evening. I just can't wait for summer!

There is something magical to me about water. Even after the most stressful lousy day, I can just sit and do nothing but stare at the water and feel completely at peace with the world.

12 ac pond in NW Missouri. 28' max depth at full pool. Fish Present: LMB, BG, RES, YP, CC, WB, HSB, WE, BCP, WCP, GSH.
