But some top top kois, put them in the upper hole, buy some more not so top top kois, put them in the second hole, buy even more great kois, put them in the 3rd hole. Buy a ton of water hynacin, and all the champions from all koi show this year in the USA, put them in the 4th hole. The 4th hole is my bio-filter. build a larger settling hole after the 4th hole, pump water up to the top hole, and flow down from the top all the water to the 4th by gavatiy. OH, wait, my city won't allow my project, will they. So spend a few millions buying my way thru. Opps, I can't discharge into the local storm drain, can I, spend yet few more millions to get my way. Ohh, I need to protect the kois from buglars, spend few more millions on electrical fence, CCTV, and patrol. Hmmm, this koi place is kind of huge, I can't walk that much, build an automatic conveyor, can't expose conveyor to the weather, build enclosing for them. Wait, enclosing need to have a Japanese touch, OK, the whole lot whill be coverted to a perfect, super sized japanese tea house. For tea house, I need some fresh green tea, how about planting 200 top of grade green tea from Taiwan ? DONE. I am the king of this hobby with $50,000 stan

Stan, you gotta lay off of the green stuff and I don't mean tea! Dude your over budget plus yoru wife is gonna find out and buy a new lexus so you can't play in our dream. LOL jsut kidding. Stan and I are cool jsut so ya'll don' think I am busting his chops. LOL.

Oh yeah, Keokoi Ramen is just fine with me!!! Save the steaks and Keirin beer for a Momotaro BBQ!!!

Yup been working out just for that BBQ so when I get back my confirmation should be jumbo like (well I aint naming any names but he is Maeda's favorite jumbo dude)

I doubt 50,000 would pay for the taxes on that 4.8mill property

Got to admit, Mr.Maeda loves food and koi!!! That's for sure!!! Eatting Suki-Yaki in one of the brand new Green Houses on the farm with Toshio Sakai, Brian, Max, Mr.Chen, Big Kev,Mike Sneaden, etc.......What more could anyone ask for....food and beer I was stuffed like "Eagle"!!

p.s. Keokoi you need to eat more Momotaro Red Label food great for conformation.

Chopsticks....dang!!!

[aquitori]

You know what, I've always wanted one of those Bulls I seen in the Waddington video's...I'll buy two of those Bulls and keep them along with koi....if Dick and Keokoi can have koi and Bonsai, I want one of those Bulls!!! Kinda messy with all the BS....but who care's I'll just throw it over the fence.

I think i would pay a guy like MikeM or Aquitori to disign a new pond, and if some money is left I will bild it.

[aquitori]

I am honored, but I think MikeM or KeoKoi can help you design a very nice pond for far less than $50K, they have the knowledge to do so!!....and I mean a very nice pond!! You'll even have some change left over to buy some really nice koi!!!

keo, if I win that 50M lotto, get a one time payout, at about 26M, pay 25% gambling income tax, I will have 19.5M left for the dream.
