Whatcha doing today?

[j.w]

@addy1 so happy you are not in a bunch of pain! Makes it much easier to want to do the other side.

Playing lots of Microsoft Flight Simulator lately. Here's some of my recent flights exploring the world and just having fun!

 

[addy1]

Took our boat seats, did a clean, prep and then vinyl paint. What a difference!
Then of course had to wash the entire boat since the seats looked so nice!

@addy1 Nice, makes it look like new. Hopefully you have been out enjoying the boat this summer or at least spending time on it. I need to go out on my boat more for just relaxation and enjoyment, but then again I spend every day out on the water, so I can’t complain too much as being out on the water is my favorite place to be.

We have been spending a lot of time on it. Taken a few trips with some captains to help us learn the boat. This has been my medical year, starting with the fall from the boat. That has what kept us from being here, broken wrist now arm surgery, rt just done, lt coming up. But when we could be here we have been here, visit aboards, not quite live aboards.

Looks beautiful @addy1 like a brand new boat! Now just watch your step and take it easy!
No swimming allowed

Sea side or mountains and I am happy. We have woods and fields at home, water at the boat, just need a nice mountain range now.

Made a wooden jack o'lantern. This is my first time doing something like this where I had to carve the face out, but I think it turned out well.

Made another one. Had a little more trouble with this wood but I'm happy with it. I'll probably bring this one over to my grandma.

My thoughts are with our Florida members who are prepping for Hurricane Ian, and am sending good vibes your way.

Thank you. I've thinned and trimmed down the taller bog plants. I'm debating whether to turn off the pump. I've got a small solar aerator, as I expect to lose power for several days or likely longer.
(I'd probably be somewhere else if I didn't have a family member who can't travel. For you US weather geeks, Jim Cantore of The Weather Channel who is the meteorologist they send to the epicenter of weather disasters, is about a mile away from me, on Clearwater Beach.)

Stay safe, praying all goes well for everyone!

Best wishes Sarah! You might consider throwing a tarp over your pond too, to prevent rain inundation.

Thanks for the good wishes and suggestion. We're expecting 100+ mph winds, so I'm thinking the tarp would be saying "hi" to @Dimelius in short order!

 

[Mgessert]

Yep, you’re right. Good luck!

Best wishes stay safe

It was time to get ready for winter.

Drained & moved my 7 bought koi into the big pond.
Then caught some of the nicer looking fry & moved them, too.
The 33 dark, boring fry were put back in the 650gal pond. Then caught 42 more boring fry from the big pond & put them in the little pond.


The boring fry.

 

[secuono]

Moved out another 44 fry!

@secuono It's amazing how many fry survive and they're not that easy to catch !
