Pond Making 101


start with a nice hillside containing one moss filled pond








add one trackhoe, one bulldozer and one very excited boy.........



repeatedly refuse to let the boy drive the above listed heavy equipment










kill a few trees











destroy the dam




drain the pond of all water, scum and muck






put on hipwaders and scour drained pond bottom for snapping turtles






let the overgrown boys have fun pushing dirt around for a few days















enjoy the finished product






begin praying for some serious rainfall to fill the newly formed pond


the end

  2. I think you're getting your wish with the heavy rainfall. However, your wish is ruining my wish of going to Fair St. Louis tonight!!!
