Thanks Rick. hope everyone is well and had a good year.I didn't get all that I wanted to get done with all the rain that we had this year but still managed to build 13 ponds and fix about 10.It is good to have alittle time off though.It has been cold for the last month and has shut me down on all construction.William has some of the problems that I get to here from the repair jobs that I do.It is sad the way that some people in this country do things.If I can't do a job that I can be proud of then I don't do it.A good contractor stands behind his work no matter what it says on paper.but to some its all about the money.Thats why the people that will do the best job is the one that loves what they do.They do the job the way that they would do it for themselves.I get to where a lake or pond becomes a part of me and find myself thinking about what I would do to make it perfect even if it doesn't pay any extra.But one of these days when I am old and gray I can drive by and see what I did and still sleep at night.Well better close this book .
