Earthdog-

Wow, nice couple of bucks there. No there no "tirdy pointer", but very nice, heavy-horned bucks. Sorry to hear of the horrible incident your communities had to endure this gun season. I went to college in Wisconsin (UWSP) and know what the deer hunting season means to the people of your great state.

So what part of the state do you hunt? Do you have a cabin and land there too? I didn't see any mentioned of fishing???? You gotta ice too don't you????

thanks for the great picts,

As I am reading others hobbies I recognize some more of my own.

Like crosswords, just got a new crossword dictionary... but I must admit, this is my bathroom hobby.

Here's some more pond pictures from today. My landscaper's dug the rough hole for me (our soil is incredibly rocky). Even then I had to rent a jackhammer to shape the edges to where I wanted them. Otherwise all the rock you see came from the hole itself (see I wasn't kidding about rocky!).





The fish where kind of shy today and the water is a tad murky this time of year. Here is an older picture of the fish:



Here is the other project I finished shortly after the pond:

I love Sims. I don't have 2 tho. Waiting for the price to come down some

Love the ponds and the koi! I had 2 above ground ponds and one below ground in TX. I could never get the koi to successfully breed, but the pond sized goldfish in the below ground pond spawn within about 15 minutes of tossing them in. When I moved PetSmart paid 50 cents a fish, it came out to about $150.00. I had 12 koi. 2 of them would eat out my hand, Dallas and Glitter. I would put food in my palm and they would swim up and eat. One fish, Clown, liked to be touched. He would swim up to my fingers in the pond and rub himself against them. I sold them to a botanical garden when I moved.
Your ponds are beautiful, as is the play set for those two beautiful girls, how blessed you are.
Don't like to look at dead animals. Breaks my heart. I guess I'll never get the hunting thing. I eat beef, but don't want to see proud pics of the cows in the slaughter house.
But that's just me.

Those ponds are just gorgeous. WTG on those beauties. So do you ever get to remove the netting? How often are the birds in there trying to catch an easy meal. I know airports and other places (wetlands that are severly contaminated) have air cannons that scare birds away. Too bad you can't make one on a much smaller scale; something that just puffs to scare fish eaters away.

Anyway, love the creativeness. Good on ya.

Raccoons will trash a pond in one night. Tip every plant over and eat half the fish.

I love the ponds and would love to build one if I knew anything about electric.
Hobbies have been most of my life in some form or another. I hate a mundane life and can't stand wasting time sitting in front of a screen, either TV or movie.
I started playing tin whistle 3 years ago when I heard some real cool Celtic music and taught myself that.
Then went on to Digeredoo, to my friends amusement. Stll can't get that circular breathing right. Sounds more like cow flatulance than tones.
I play bass guitar in the worship band at church and have been in and out of bands since I was 16 and taught myself 'Blues harp'.
I've tied flies and play racket ball, when I can find a partner. The Arizona desert is always a gas to tromp around in, and when you get sick of hiking the desert drive and hour to the mountains. I like to fly fish and take any one of my guns out to the desert and shoot 'Tanerite', (exploding targets) targets and produce,.
But mostly it is find rocks, cut rocks, tumble rocks, grind rocks, polish rocks, wrap rocks, sell rocks, you get the picture.

My hobbies are camping (travel trailer and tent). I also like music. Can play guitar enough to make me happy as well as the harmonica. I always travel with my guitar anywhere I go. I also have a couple of Native American flutes. Haven't gotten too good with them, but they still sound nice when I do mess around with them. I plan on getting panpipes next.
