Sounds like something Pelosi and crew would come up with to protect you from yourself.

Matt ... LMAO !!! :thumbsup:

Another great project. I like the way you engineer stuff and explain why you do what you do. Nothing is random, and everything has a reason for why it was done that way!!!!

Now that you have the bigger hoe, when does the thread on your pond begin? LMAO

Eddie

Thanks Eddie,
Means a lot coming from you!
OMG, the pond ... Well, as soon as get my butt in gear and finish some of the many little projects around the ranch, Loretta and I will start when the ground gets a little softer. I knew that pond project would be a long term one. After following your thread for years, I knew it would be. Even though we've moved a lot of dirt already, it doesn't look like it. And there will be ten times more dirt to move yet!!

I was supprised he hadn't started a thread on it as well. I've been wondering how it was going. Thanks for the update. I assume that this means you'll see to it that we have something to read soon?:thumbsup::laughing:

Also, while we're on the subject of updates, how is the solar power system holding up now that you have some time on it?

Hi Cyril,
Solar is doing a great job.
One evening last Winter we were looking out from our rear deck into the valley below. Usually there are little lights from the homes nestled around the river and up the mountain slopes. It was pitch dark ... no lights anywhere? We found out later that someone ran into a power pole and there was no electricity in the valley for 2 days. We had no idea...

And since you quoted Loretta's post, I too am hoping she will be the one to write that thread.
She's quite excited about the pond project and her garden shed as well. I'm sure I'll be contributing a little to the thread though.

Rob, good to see you and the Mrs. back posting again. Nice frame build. It looks rock solid like you've mentioned it is.:thumbsup: I don't remember how your Nardi attached but by the 3 point. Did you make something for it to mount other than the 3PH?

Oh! WWHHOOOOPPISHHHH!! (cracking whip sound) get back to those honey do's with those implements!:laughing::laughing:

Hey! At least they're honey do's you can use the equipment to do!:thumbsup:
