By the way, the July-August issue marks the beginning of our 18th year. 18 years is a great start, I bet there is a lot more to come. A glimpse at DD's future signature line: "Subscriber to PCMag since before it was 3-D"

I love the chart, Dwight, and envy the time you get to spend on your pond!
Question 1 - what type of DO meter do you use, and do you like it?
Question 2 - is your chart copyrighted, and if so, do you mind allowing me to blatantly enfringe and employ a chart like this for my own use?

Question 1 - what type of DO meter do you use, and do you like it? I am using a DO200. It is the only D.O. meter I have ever used so I like it. It is easy to operate. Question 2 - is your chart copyrighted, and if so, do you mind allowing me to blatantly enfringe and employ a chart like this for my own use? If you would like, I can e-mail the spreadsheet to you. PM me and we can arrange it.

{SERIAL KILLER MODE OFF}
There, happy Tom? ******************************************************** Dwight I converted your chart to a jpeg file and saved it in my photobucket so I could post it here. If you object to this please PM me and I'll remove it. Please note: the clarity of chart became dimished somewhat in the conversion process. I think this chart is a great illustration of the fact that cold water can hold more oxygen. As the surface water increases the TDO decreases, very interesting to actually see it displayed. Dwight, this feels like a stupid question, but is the clarity depth in inches? In other words did you have 155 inches in clarity on 06/18? If so that's almost 13 feet!

JHAP - Yes, the clarity is in inches and yes about 13 feet. I use the PDF format because of the excellent resolution for printing the chart and zooming in on a particular set of data points. So, you may have created a new summer job for yourself converting to JPEG and posting on Photo Bucket each week.

CJ, I can't take any credit for the graph. That is all Dwight. All I did was convert it from one file type (.pdf = adobe) to another file type (.jpg) and reduce the file size, and then uploaded it to my photobucket.

Ah... Well, none the less great work. Thanks for putting it out there for all to see. Gives everyone some ideas for what they can do at their ponds. It is neat to track water temps, DO etc through the months and even year to year.

Do you have tons of aquatic vegetation, then? Yes, I estimate that currently submergent vegetation covers 30-40 percent of the pond bottom area. The weed lines and weed flats are well defined and bounded by sand and gravel areas that don't support plant growth.

The heat is on! Theo or Sunil can comment on the music reference?
The temps are up, DO has to go down, and clarity dropping as the phytoplankton kick in. Man, it has been a cool (temperature) year.

How obscure are you getting? Glenn Frey or Agnetha Fältskog?

I continue to be amazed by the charts and info. Absolutely outstanding work.

I'm going up the country, baby don't you wanna go I'm going up the country, baby don't you wanna go
I'm going to some place where I've never been before I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
Well I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say, but We might even leave
the USA 'Cause there's a brand new game that I want to play
No use of you running, or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home as long as I've got mine

Theo, I just don't have your depth. I only knew about Glenn Frey. Burger -- no thanks. We were 90 the past two days, and that's plenty.

I didn't know that ewest was at Woodstock. In the Movie, he is the naked boy splashing in the muddy pool. A sign of things to come, pond-wise, that is.
