Yep John ... it's always good to see a familiar face come on
back home.

Greetings all,

Been a while since I've been here. Nice to see so many of the regular
'old-timers' still here and so many new names, as well. This is one of
the
healthiest NG's on the Usenet.

Suffice it to say that the fish survived the winter in aerated 'pea
soup',
eating up most of the pennywort and apparently staying fat and sassy in
the
process. Last week, my live-in son-in-law and his cousin, both ponders,
took over care of the fish and pond. Water change and treatment, new
pump,
filter cleaning, new lamp for UV, lillys and one new koi in quarantine.

I've posted a pic on alt.binaries.aquaria under the same subject as
this,
'Benign Neglect Ponder - Regime change'. I'll do another one after
they've
cleaned the dried algae off the heron filter and added 'Blackie' to the
koi
fambly.

Semper Fi,



-- welcome back Nick we have missed you
