It was a good time for sure. I finally got to meet some of the pondboss people and put a face with a name. Also learned a few things in the process. Thanks again Brian and Heather for hosting!!

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?

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.
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 ½ 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.
You guys really up'd the game with those snappy T-shirts.

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?
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.
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.
