You're going to...I have it all figured out. We're going to pop a .5 - 2 acre cell at el Rauncho and stock with TJ YP, SMB, WE and HBG or RES or RBS. Feed with well water and install a siphon system to take bottom water into pool, pump up to head of wetland, then down waterfall feature and back into pond. Gonna be a blast...and gives us an excuse to connect annually to supplementally stock. I have great sources for WE, and I'm raising both feed trained SMB and YP now. My nominal fee of tannerite exposition and a safe ride back home is surely reasonable. Oh, and I also want a big lolly - you know, the old fashioned ones that are swirled and big as a kids face.
