Does someone have a link to an area calculator tool? I saw one that had an aerial image that you could draw on to find the area but can't find it anymore.

Dang, every time I use one of these area calculators, my pond shrinks!

Funny stuff there rmedgar Sorry it was the perfect opportunity. A friend recently said to me, "you just used a double entendre". A double what, I said! The only double I knew of was in baseball and a cocktail. A double entendre is a figure of speech in which a spoken phrase is devised to be understood in either of two ways. Typically one of the interpretations is rather obvious whereas the other is more subtle. The more subtle of the interpretations may have a humorous, ironic, or risqué purpose. It may also convey a message that would be socially awkward, or even offensive, to state directly. (The Oxford English Dictionary describes a double entendre as being used to "convey an indelicate meaning".) Can u tell...its slow at work today!

Dang, every time I use one of these area calculators, my pond shrinks! Be precise with your mouse as you click the area. In your particular case I recommend a minimum of two Peroni to calm your spasmodic clicker.

Mnfish, a large pond is not always a good thing. It is how you put in your fish that makes the difference.

Even a 25 pound HSB looks small swimming in a large lake.

Jimmy Johnson now has a real live subject to drone on about. I hate to disappoint you but he cut the first nine inches off the tape measure.

Dang, every time I use one of these area calculators, my pond shrinks! Sunil -- something just ain't right. I think Google is stealing your property! When I first visited your place you said your pond was a particular size. It certainly looked like it probably was. The last time I was there, you mentioned that it was about 20% smaller than you originally thought. I thought that could be possible. Even with the expletives you yelled at my guests who were in your boat, in the lower part of your pond, I'm sure they had difficulty hearing exactly what you hollered (but, I'm sure they fully understood the outburst) . It is a darn long ways from the outhouse to that lower part of your pond. Based on your latest comment, I used the ACME (is that related in Road Runner cartoon ACME?) area planner with Google Maps to measure your pond, to see if maybe you were missing something. Damn! Your pond now is even smaller!!!  I know they keep saying the world is shrinking, but this is crazy. This thing shows your pond at 3.694 acres! In my mind, just the main part has to be at least that large. Next time I'm up there I'll bring my handheld GPS to measure the approximate dimensions.

Whatever you do Brian, don't tell my wife I think she would die of disappointment. I have no idea of what she would talk about at our social functions.

catmandoo, that's about what I was getting too.
When we first bought the place, the pond was listed as 10-12 acres. It was winter, and we had no way to really know, but still liked the pond.
As time went on, I reset to calling it 6-7 acres.
Then, I ended up getting some overhead pictures from the DEP, and using one of the sheds as a reference, I ended up calculating about 4.5 acres.
Now, here we are below 4 acres.
I'm scared of the next technology that's going to tell me my pond is a postage stamp!

Sunil, my boy we all have shrinkage as we get older. We learn to live with it(might be a big letdown for wivey).

A double entendre is a figure of speech in which a spoken phrase is devised to be understood in either of two ways. Typically one of the interpretations is rather obvious whereas the other is more subtle. The more subtle of the interpretations may have a humorous, ironic, or risqué purpose. It may also convey a message that would be socially awkward, or even offensive, to state directly. (The Oxford English Dictionary describes a double entendre as being used to "convey an indelicate meaning".) Any amateur can accomplish a double entendre. It takes a real pro to execute a triple entendre and a genius to land a quadruple entendre. Theo once managed a quadruple entendre, the landing was perfect however he suffered a groin pull in the process. He healed however the tone of his voice increased one half of an octave.

Now, here we are below 4 acres. From now on just tell people that your pond is 16,187 square meters. JHAP's helpful tip of the month: Every thing seems bigger if you use the metric system.
