Good Brian, that would explain the "Ahoy" "Allen" said when he first arrived...... smile


Uh huh, sure. Sounds like a hunter at the end of the season who has to eat his tag explaining that he's a vegetarian. laugh

The Good Brian, I'm very familiar with the regular Brian. I'm pretty sure the moniker will stick around and not wear off. Just sayin'.

Good to put a face with a name on Bushwacker, Snrub [now Mr Clean], and Cisco and their better halves. Anyone notice how Cisco is allowing Al a wide breadth? Was he wearing too much Polo cologne, or was it the RES he was trying to sneak off the property to his own ponds?

Good friends, good BBQ, nice day with a lousy fishing due to a 40 or so mph wind.

TJ, the new Winoesqe look as DD1 calls it is like kryptonite to new meets. The only place it works is at Wally World and any generic dollar store.

I was actually checking to see if my camera was working or not. Highflyer had to set the timer because I'm not smart enough!

Hey! There was no touching!! Seriously though, few people were asking about the Jalapeno cheese fudge stuff I brought. Here is the recipe.

Jalapeno Cheese Fudge

1 lb (16 oz) Cheddar or Colby Cheese (shredded)
1 lb (16 oz) Monterey Jack Cheese (shredded)
11-15 oz jar sliced or chopped Jalapeno peppers
2 eggs
� C flour
1 C evaporated milk

Mix cheeses and press half in 9X13 greased pan. Place a layer of peppers and cover with the rest of cheeses. Firmly press together mixture in pan. Mix eggs, flour and milk until smooth. Pour over top and bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Uh, Good Brian, my wife hounded me all the way home about getting that recipe. It was outstanding to say the least. Rex's habanero salsa and your cheese fudge were both big hits in the Hall household.

Hey guys, sorry I missed the party but hit a bump in the road - no serious consequences but frustrating.
Sounds liked ya�ll had a ball.

Sorry the 40 mph winds played havoc with Briminators but trust me - they are deadly!

Saturday was real hoot! Brian & his lovely bride Heather really put on a nice gathering. Except for the wind it was a pretty Texas day. Enjoyed seeing old friends and making some new ones.

Unfortunately some of our friends were unable to be with us. Ya'll have my best wishes and hope that we will see you soon.

Special thanks to Zep/Mark for providing T-shirts & BBQ. If someone went home hungry it because they weren't trying.

I never heard of cheese fudge, but I will be making it in the future. That was really good.

Rex that was some really good salsa, but do you thing you add a little heat to it? smile

For record David & Brian tie for number of fish caught at 2 each. But David you can't hold that small of a fish close enough to a camera and make it look bigger!

As always I come away from these gatherings a better pond meister. Received some valuable tips and also a better understanding that someone else has probably faced my problems. But the best thing that I took away was the enjoyment of spending time with a good bunch of people.

Rookie, David, you had better sign up for the photography lessons Condello is giving at next year's Pond Boss Conference.

Sounds like a great time was had by all.

It broke my heart that I had to miss the big event,
but a last minute family health emergency came first.

Hopefully God-willing I will be at the next local PondBoss get-together.

Keep the pictures coming, it helps me feel like I was there.

Fred, actually it worked. That BG wasn't near as big as it looks. I started to step on it and mash it out a little but was afraid someone would notice.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Thanks Sunil.
We will know more soon.
Nothing really confirmed yet,
But prelim does not look very good.
We shall see and hope/pray for the best.

ps: thanks for everyone's concern,
but I don't want to de-rail this thread
about a great positive PondBoss event.
