Yikes. Been on "vacation" at the lake house in Arkansas (450 shoreline miles there, I don't try to stock it) and missed all the supportive advice.

I did get some serious weedeating and powerwashing done, however. The daughter was along but didn't eat any weeds or wash a thing, so far as I could tell. Thankfully, I was able to drop her off with friends in Kansas City so she could enjoy the John Mayer concert this evening. I think her mother bought the tickets. Or maybe I did and just don't know.

The aerators got installed but are lacking power. I assumed that, since the lights in the shed worked that the outlet would too. Silly me. Any licensed electicians in the area of Reluctance Ranch? The feeder is purportedly installed and working.

Louie's doing fine. I just checked.

Thanx for all the help and advice. I'll keep y'all posted as to the progress...on all fronts.

Be the fish.
