End of a Week


Been quite a week. Tonight just trying to look back at what I will recall from this very hectic period.


Commercial stocking in the ponds has been going well.

We have four ponds stocked at commercial capacity and on track for January 2013 harvest.      

                                      

The batch handling retention system for replacement water is finally complete. This will be important as we expand production capacity. 

                                 

About 6 months ago I wrote of the great fishing trip Stephen, my son, and I had with a very close group of friends and investors here in the Gulf of Mexico.

Stephen caught the largest fish of his life on that trip. The memory of his catch is something I will cherish for ever. 

In a very classy act, Jim Millard of Iowa, a member of that memorable fishing trip, had taken the measurements and weights of Stephen's catch and over the past three months had a taxidermist do a mount.

He sent it Stephen a few days ago. "Thanks Jim". Here is Stephen with his mount. Again, how cool is that ?  

                                    

Our last labrador (of an original group of four), Ellie had some major surgery. She had to have a cancerous tumor removed from her spleen. She has been recuperating. 

Here Lily, our very intelligent African Grey Parrot is consoling her. Lily has always loved and been fascinated with Ellie. 

                                   

Ellie is not quite totally at ease with Lily's (very close) attention. 

Been a very demanding week.  October is just two days away.

A lot has to happen between now and Thanksgiving. 

It is nice to take a minute smile at the things that really matter.
