Thanks!

Also, just noticed that the CEO of Advantage replied to my pump thread on Koiphen. Kind of defensive, though, so we'll see where we end up.

Though its a good pic, you got to change it back, I use to tell people to check out our gang here at GPF that we had every walk of life on the site , we even have a Martian... now you look normal.

 

[addy1]

now you look normal.

But a cute normal....well maybe should say handsome as it a guy.

 

[GBBUDD]

Come now @addy1 you can't assume it's a guy thing .... DO YOU KNOW HIS PRONOUNS......HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Ok, let's quickly catch up while the kid is still asleep. I have no pictures ATM, but will grab some soon.

1. The pump fiasco was solved some time ago. Advantage sent me a new one. I wasn't expecting that, but appreciate it. Still can't use the app for remote control, but the new one has better onboard scheduling. More similar to a pool pump but geared for a lower RPM.

2. Most of the plants @addy1 sent me last fall are starting to wake up. Going to make a big difference once they grow in. Thanks Addy!

3. Been ignoring the pond a bit because as soon as it was warm enough to work outside again, I was head first on the front yard. Some of you will remember these pics from earlier in the thread:

Here it is now:

Rubber ducky for scale.

First I thought it said rubber ducky for sale! Looks so big, beautiful and inviting on these hot days we are now having!
Get out your swim suit and air floaties

Not a sign of algae in there!!! Maybe there is something in the water out there. Good choice going sod one and done

Looking good, like the look of the water flowing around the big rocks

I got the inner tubes down from the attic today!

We had a massive string algae bloom that is just now clearing up. I harvested almost a full 5-gallon bucket of it to use as fertilizer on other plants. Will see if I have any photos of that.

Every time I try to take a “glamour shot” of the pond, I realize after the fact that the kid has thrown a toy in that I didn’t see.
