Thank you Don.

Very nice. I really like all the rock you've used, and I don't want to insult those who know what it is. But the Japanese "tower" is well placed and gives it a subtle peacefulness. You must really enjoy a cold <insert beverage of choice> sitting by your pond.

And now it's going to be even better, with less maintenance.

Not only does it double your handbag and matching luggage selection options, but I'm told they're waterproof!

What more could a kichi gal like you want, eh?

Dear Don
You have been screwed again. those are knock offs, notice the outside stitching and the color. Also they did not attach the handles correctly. Looks like you will be carrying my purse and luggage for me. I can see it now, you following me around the mall with my new designer purse, I will have so much more space, to carry all the esentials, I believe that purse has a 50lb capacity

Friday: Remove the forms. Chisel the concrete slag in the SC. Level and set the Cetus using sand. Hydraulic seal the SC pipes and cut them to length. Finish constructing the Clarity base, adding a spillway. Waterproof the SC. Cut block and stone. Start finishing stone work. Plaster the SC.

Don, your almost there, I can not wait to see the water flowing. Don, when a Texan refers to your koi as your "herd" that is the highest honor and respect a Texan can give. He.. Ha.. right, Nancy M?
