Thanks everyone:
Mike:
Yeah I had thought about remote controlled pirate ship, but my wife but the kabosh on that! The Pickerel will grow quickly as will all the Iris that you can't see since it was cut near the water line.
Ester, hopefully you will remember me...I drift in and out...too much yard work lately has kept me busy.
Jerry, it takes a year or 2, but a 16 x20' pond is nice since it stabilizes so quickly
