Default The pond is drained.....

...... and I'm taking a coffee break. All the koi from this pond are in a
500g tank behind the house with the 7 koi that need new homes. Two filters
and an aerator will be running 24/7 until the work on the berm is finished.
All the plants are in kiddy-pools and all are covered in diamond-scale
butterfly koi eggs. The liner will have to be pulled out as we're also
reshaping this smaller pond. We have to raise the whole thing since the
soil berm was useless and runoff from the flower beds and lawn kept fouling
the water. Pictures will be taken every step of the way and posted on
alt.binaries.aquaria.

Can you post somewhere other than alt.binaries.aquaria....my newsserver
does not carry the binary groups and I'm pretty sure this applies to a
lot of regulars as well....

I'll look into adding another page to my website. This way anyone can view
them. :-)

I was damp and chilly here this morning but it warmed up nicely. I just had
dinner and I think I'll take a nap. I'm exhausted. Oh, ...when I added the
these 5 to the 500g pool they all went into another breeding frenzy. I have
one yellow butterfly female that just drives all the males crazy.......
