My Place: a CAT, Mahindra, and Ducks

[bindian]

I've been around for a while but I don't have the experience that many of you do. So I keep quiet, read and learn and pipe up when I think I have something to offer. The TYM has been trouble free for the most part and does what I need it to do, mostly help with firewood and snow clearing. :thumbsup:

Please send us all the snow you want!
hugs, Brandi

I could not even get them to send medical records to me, always claimed they were in the mail. Gave up and moved on, a real MD took good care of me and I just went on with my life. The hammer toe surgery sure did hurt!!
Does the cornmeal keep algae under control or eliminate it??

BTW
Good place to learn some welding tricks, thought I would pass it on.

Welding Tips and Tricks - TIG, MIG, Stick and a pantload of other info

Thanks Kneedeep! I'll check the site out ASAP. I think they make it difficult so folks will quit trying for surgery. The cornmeal, along with the Blue Bayou, pretty much keeps the water algae free. The cornmeal (in pantyhose leg tied off) works for about 2-3 months. Then you have to redo it. I have to weight it now, because after it rises and floats.............the ducks peck at it.
hugs, Brandi

I have used gypsum broadcast to remove the muddy sediment before. It seems to form a fine glaze on the top of pond and as it settles down taking the solids to the bottom. may take several 'treatments' to clear up muddy water, but will work.
I will try the cornmeal trick, already use Blue Bayou to color the dark water in small wildlife water hole.

Thanks BR. I do get PMs from time to time saying the same thing! On another note, I bought me a very special birthday gift. It's a Hobart 210 MVP. First welder I ever owned. So after some practice....................I will be giving your welding skills a run for the money. First project...........ruining good metal. Second project(s).........building water gates for fences around the pond.

But it won't be this month. I need to get an Epidermal Inclusion Cyst removed. It's under the toe I had hammertoe surgery on 6 years ago. It is ain't one thing..............it's another. Two week recovery time after removal. Limping along right now. Which is okay in this heat.
hugs, Brandi

You will love that 210 and I'll bet you'll be good at it !!!!

Oh ... and speedy recovery !!!!

Thanks Kyle! The Vet checkup today showed he is 6.5 pounds. So he has gained 2.5 pounds in 3 weeks. He is a handful, but will fit in nicely here. He is well on his way to being potty trained. I just gotta get him to ring the bells hanging from the back door knob to go out. He's a puppy, so still has accidents.
