I plan to defer stocking until the spring because my pond is getting lower and lower. I checked the annual rainfall for my county - we are 20 inches behind, and only have 26 inches year-to-date. Our avarage annual rainfall is 46 inches. I think ML will be stocking his pond - he is further south and (i think) has access to water for his ponds. After I stock in the spring - I will start up a new post to keep everyone informed of the progress. Gator - Smoke 'em if you got 'em

See: http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2005/images/winter-outlook-2005-2006-precip.jpg Hope they're right eh? If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

It ALWAYS rains wherever they camp, sometimes to the point of forced evacuation! $\:D$ "Live like you'll die tomorrow, but manage your grass like you'll live forever." -S. M. Stirling

Sure enough, you'll get some rain. Granted you might have $10,000 to $20,000 in sunk costs for the caterer, band, minister, etc., but isn't it worth it? Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

I have several volunteers to have car washes, weddings and camp outs if that helps! : ) Thanks everyone, sure enough if we did hold an event - the rain would come in spades!
