In the last 2 weeks with yard work on going I have brought back a old project that I started about 7 years ago (my friend triggered my mojo by saying to me what is that under the blanket in my shop ) of course I had to tell him it was something I started to do about 7 years ago so no time like the present to start looking for all the parts to put it back together.

Concentrating on completing pond stuff not quite sure where I left off after moving fish etc. But the last couple of days have been involved at getting the new
filter set up done. Then of course getting it in the pond for hook up test trial along with pond feature sprayer ?????? After trail and error I will be doing some revampimg (not done yet) On a better note Susie joined a golf club today had there first of the season Sounds like she had a good time and looking forward to next week get together

| While at the reuse store I came across this barbacue for 30 bucks so i picked it up for Tracy and Stuart this picture shows how I have cleaned up one side works great plus a side burner (works) |
 |
| this side before cleanup |
 |
| Of course the bottom will be cleaned up |
 |
| While cleaning up garage Sara was after me to play ball then she went into crawl space started barking and sure enough she found a ball from about 2 years ago which I had to get on my hands and knees to dig outof a hole under a pallet |
 |
| After playing with that ball back down again and dug out 2 more balls in the same area she sure has one hell of a sniffer |
