The liner went in today.
Finally!
I've been lucky that it's stayed so warm here, today has been the first real cool day we've had. It all seems to have been fairly uneventful, but I still have a lot of landscaping left to do. I think a lot of the finer touches will wait for spring. I was pleased that the folds aren't too bad, considering the wrinkles I had with the underlay. There's still a lot of plumbing to do, but I'm not even going to cut the liner for the skimmer or bottom drain until spring. The epdm has a bit of a pleasant bluish tinge compared to the old PVC liner. It's been a little quiet here lately, so I just thought I'd let you know that some of use northern procrastinators are still ponding. :-) |

I like the history aspect of your site. Its look will change
immeasurably in a once it is full and the edges covered! Jim |

my next step is to trim the liner, then the foliage, I'm hoping to have it
finished before the weather turns nasty cold "Phyllis and Jim" wrote in message s.com... I like the history aspect of your site. Its look will change immeasurably in a once it is full and the edges covered! Jim |

Not luck ~ global warming. Yeah Global warming, I mean the earth's temp rose by 1 degree in the past 100 years.... man that's a catastrophe.. Good thing we have Al Gore flying around in his private jet to tell us to cut back on fuel consumption because after all man is causing it |

Good thing we have Al Gore flying around in his private jet to tell us to cut back on fuel consumption because after all man is causing it I don't think that the facts regarding global warming and the melting of the ice caps can be disputed. It also can't be disputed that this has happened throughout the history of this planet (ice ages etc). Climate change has and always will happen. The real question is to what degree are we accelarating this by our behaviour? Now, whatever school of thought you subcribe to on global warming, we, surely, all have a responsibility to use resources with care and a duty not to turn the planet into a polluted, rubbish tip. Gill PS I agree that there is a certain irony in Al Gore and others jetting around the place to spread the message |

Ice cores from Antarctica go back 650,000 years and thru 7 ice ages. Both CO2 and
oxygen (the ratio of the isotopes yield temperature information) are trapped in the ice as it is formed. NEVER once during the last 650,000 thousand years has the CO2 level gone over 300 ppm, until recently. "Carbon dioxide concentrations dropped to 180 ppm during the coldest periods and reached a maximum of 300 ppm in the warmest periods. Current CO2 concentrations are at about 380 ppm." http://gwfact.rso.wisc.edu/history.html "An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form: 1. Person A makes claim X. 2. Person B makes an attack on person A. 3. Therefore A's claim is false.

Global warming
Just some random thoughts: How can so many humans NOT affect the climate? Like too many fish in a pond. Global warming, whether you're a believer not, it doesn't hurt to clean up our act. Kind of like it doesn't hurt to pray, whether there is or isn't a pond goddess. If there isn't, oh well, but if there is.... clear pond for you when you go to the big pond in the sky. ;-) ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
