Ya know, I don't do anywhere as many stupid things since I got older and quit saying "Hold my beer and watch this.".

About 15 years ago I was using my front end loader on a steep slope digging out some muck. When I raised the bucket, the whole tractor started tipping over forward. I jammed the bucket down and slowly dumped the mucky crap and backed out. And then there was the time that I got in the loader bucket and had my Wife raise me skyward to trim some dead limbs. Lost my balance and fell about 10 ft. As Forest Gump said "Shtoopid, just shtoopid.". I have now figured out that anything over your head can hurt or kill you.


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.
