...Chris, sounds good, raffle or challenge?... How about lawn darts at 50 paces? The medical bills would probably cost way more than the bag of Optimal, but who doesn't love a challenge?

Chris,
You are in charge of your challenge, just remember some of the guests are grandparents...
Mark,
Your posters get more and more elaborate every time! If you keep that up, in a few years, they won't fit on a poster board, yet alone a T-shirt!!
Okay, there are two others coming as well.
George's better half, Nicky, and their youngest son Jeff are going to come out as well.
As I count, there will around 20-25 people coming out to enjoy the day so far accounted for. I can't wait.
And there might be a surprise guest or two attending. More soon...

So no 50 yard dash through pond muck? I've got a bad leg so will pass on this one. Maybe we could substitute a contest for best algae salad recipes? I've got a killer for blue-green algae. Literally.

Okay,
We are just over two months away, time to really start planning.
The big pond is full, the CNBG and LMB seem to be doing great and I have upgraded Tilapitopia to V4. There is solar to look at and If there are brave folks, the fyke net and seine net will get used.
Its time to work on the headcount.
Who's in?
I am planning on the second or third weekend in Nov. I still need to get with stickem', but hope to be clearing Charlie's pond about time for the gathering after doing a renovation on a Tulsa church pond. Maybe I can mooch off some PB'rs if need be for a few days, barge in tow. I may have to fly solo this year if working also. Let me know what to bring!!!

I will be happy to meet Mr. Lusk, although after watching so many of his videos feel like I already know him!

Won't be able to make it. Things have changed. My Grandson turned 18 yesterday. His Birthday present is a mule deer hunt in deep South Texas. He wants me to go with him. Can't say no to a deal like that.
He started hunting with me at age 4. He had his BB gun and I had my 30-06. He got to take the first shot. If it wasn't a clean kill I finished it off. We've been hunting together ever since.
He goes away to College next year so this will be one of our last hunts together. He will be majoring in wildlife and fisheries management. Not sure about career prospects but we will see.
He's now 6'4", 235 pounds, and all muscle. Not sure where my little partner went.
Hate to miss seeing you guys.

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.
