I came up from Houston, with the dirt worker that's been on the hook to sculpt my small piece of the planet, before the rains began last August. I thought it would be a good opportunity for him to meet folks, understand the passions of the people he works for, and get us on the same page.
Well, it did more than that. He is now fired up about working on the 2 acre pond, behind his house and making a trophy Bass Lake out of it. I've volunteered my newbie knowledge and physical assistance, but, also and honestly, with the idea in the back of my mind to have me another fishing hole in the area.
My funding and watershed are still limiting me to a .5 acre pond that I plan to expand later.
This conference was a fantastic experience for me. Friday, I was wishing it was for 3 days, because I had so much I wanted to see and folks I wanted to talk with. Saturday afternoon, I was wishing for a nap and not wanting to leave to go back to the concrete jungle of Houston.
This was a hugely motivating experience. I can't wait to get moved up to the thriving, caution light metropolis, of Evergreen, Texas!
