Been busy with new baby. Haven't really accomplished much with pond. I'm starting to get time again finally. HBG have reached 15oz. I know there are pounders in there. The CC have grown so big. I can't catch them. From looks at feed time they are pushing easy 5 pounds. Can't wait till spring. Let the water drop this fall and rided all those pesky HBG YOY. Now filling with well. Have not had a rain over .17 inch since Sep 12 according to my weather station and over a month before that one. Dry! Just checking in to see what's up. Hope to have more time to spend on here soon.

Hi John!

How many HBG YOY are left? Are you going to ladder stock HSB?

Shortly after this post a girl really caught my eye for a second. Just made it back to pond couple weeks ago. I just about lost everything I think. Water had turned completely muddy. Level was lowest I've ever seen. How the fish survived I'll never know. But put the well to it an got it 3/4 pool so far. How long should I wait to start feeding again. I believe they are ready. I lost my wife, kids and most everything important to me for that girl. Got court next week to file an appeal on custody of my children. They put me on stand without lawyer. Long story short pretty women will get you good and I want to get this pond back in shape for when I get my kids again. It was my favorite thing to do with Molly and I havnt got to have her here in 8 months now. I know she has gotta miss pond being by side everyday working on it. Just filling everybody in on things. Things will be good again. I can't wait to interduce my newest Miss Savannah. I picked her name on drive home from Pond Boss VI. Think it was town in Arkansas. Can't remember but I' thought I like that name.

John, that is a rough story... I hope you the custody you desire... You need them and they need you as a father... Good luck!

I ended my marriage 23 years ago due to my wife's infidelity and our son was 4. She asked all our friends and family for forgiveness which was granted, as well as mine but we could not remain married. She then wanted full custody because she said she couldn't be without her son. I offered joint, shared physical and legal custody which she refused. I was ready to battle, yet still trying to reason with joint custody.

Prior to court, she called and said her counselor asked "have you thought that maybe Keith can't be without his son too?

She apologized for being selfish, we settled out of court with joint, shared physical and legal custody, alternating months, seeing our son every Wednesday and every other weekend on our off-months.

She and I still raised our son together (per se), went to conferences together as well as ballgames, scouts, etc. And most parents had no idea we were divorced.

23 years later, she and I are very close friends, I'm just as close to her family and friends as I was then, and her with mine.

And our son? To this day I know that he has never heard his dad say anything bad about his mom and has never heard his mom say anything bad about his dad.

Although there are seldom any winners in a divorce with children involved, our son was the true winner in this one. As he was growing up there was always a special glow in his eye when he was together with his mom and dad, and we tried to make that happen often.

John, our story seems to be a rare one but I share it to let couples know it's possible, to put all feelings aside and remember there is NO ONE more important than our kids!

Seek forgiveness, be humble, patient and understanding.

Women have been known to bring down empires... Isn't it amazing how stupid we can get around them.... That primal male mating instinct is hard to control sometimes.... very hard....

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
