I was going to send this report directly to the stick, but decided to put it here in case anyone else has an interest.
Pond report:
1. The circulator is keeping the perfect size opening in the water. Before the cold weather set in, I set it to run for 2 hours four times a day spaced evenly. The temperature must be below 20 degrees or it won't run at all.
2. The drive on point to the pond is full of snow. I drove through it with the Mule 4 or 5 times but it will still require having a shovel available. It seems like the hump there is bigger too, though I could be wrong because of the snow. I don't know why it would have changed. The water level could be a little lower than last year.
3. Snow on the way down to the drive on point is 8" and soft, lying in the alfalfa.
4. The ice is 11 inches thick.
5. The snow on the pond itself is not problematic.
6. The fish were hovering under the holes I drilled with that look, "where are the minners man?".
