Looks GREAT, Bear. We have such a low amount of water this year, I am fearful I won't have much of a "green" lawn this year. It already needs some work.... the state said "please don't water until we say". After seeing my front lawn start to go brown, I kicked the sprinklers on. I made some adjustments and changed some tips to try and get better use of the water. So far it's doing well, but you really don't know how well until July, lol.

That's not looking to great white, needs a good rain. Unless the camera is making it look like that. Everything is green around here. Not much rain to speak of, but we've been getting it here and there.

The camera does make it look worse, but it definitely needs the water. It's much better than it was a week ago though.

I took the little shartbox, Frankie, out for a spin yesterday. Testing the syncing of the GoPro for video, and my S10 for audio. The S10 was sitting on the passenger seat, so I need to get it somewhere else. Damn thing runs fairly well... I just need to get the new trans in it, and chase down my hunting idle issue (which does not happen all the time). I really don't think the cam is making it do that. It dies on me at 13:46, then "hunts" 14:09 until it evens out.

If you tell me there are fish in that pond, I'll be so envious.

BTW, on my lawn... it was GREEN as can be until I sprayed it with Ortho Weed B Gon, then we had a hot stretch. Don't know which of the two pissed it off, but it was mad at me. It's coming around though.

We went fishing the other day for the first time since we moved in. Caught 35 catfish in less than an hour. Now not all were record holders, some were babies, but I was impressed nonetheless. Was a fun time for my sister in law and her husband. My 2 yr old liked to see the fish but wasnt interested in fishing herself yet. Havent caught anything else but I was planning to stock it with some bluegill and bass. Currently "dealing" with a muskrat problem. They have accidentally circumnavigated my overflow drain and started their own natural drain. Our lake is spring fed and has been dropping consistently so I want to get that fixed asap.

The only effective muskrat fix I have ever found is .22" round. It works on groundhogs too.

Beautiful pond by the way.
