    Extremely well said George, class act. SVL, super class of competitors. Reminds me of racing motorcycles in motocross and desert when I was young. Everyone does anything they can to help put their competitors out there, no matter what. Great group....

    I certainly looked in a big hurry too. Sometimes marketing is over half the battle......

    I remenber calling Will last year and asking some set up questions. His response was You know better than me now.

    I just finished a set of ponds with a stream in-between.....


    And 30 x 60 won't be big enough in the end, I already added onto my 44 x 60 and want to add more yet.........
