Ed and Mary's place...

[Mugwump]

...We drove down rte 23 to their house this morning. It's always a pleasure to be with Ed and Mary.  We chatted a while, talked fish, and everything else you could think of for a bit. Ed's clearing some angels out to make some room....it seemed about every pair he had was raising free swimmers, and those that weren't raising were either cleaning, or spawning as we watched....LOL....looked over a few tanks that he wanted to move the fish out from...then he says...oh, don't forget "the tub"...a large 220 gallon grey cattle water tub......geez Louise !!...it was loaded....and quite the variety too....he says these can go too....I says "sold"....LOL....so instead of just the Koi that we kinda went for....we ended up with buckets loaded with Koi, blacks, pinoy, blushers, blue smokey pariaba, and what not......ya can't crowd the buckets too much, but with five buckets, let's just say we hit the 'mother lode'.....   We'll sort through them for futures, then invite Ed and Mary up to take some back....right Ed??....he he....no, actually we'll just sell sell em off at bargain prices at the next two swaps coming up quickly.....way too many to keep here......thanks Ed.......and now that you have your grow out tub back ..you can let those pairs off their leashes... ...

Uhmmm........... NO

They left with you, no turning back now.................except for that one Juvie koi with one red and one blue eye, and the spangles in the dorsal.......see if you can find that one for me. j/k
I moved a bunch o  fish into the grow out tub............sitting down and looking over the rest of the tanks, doesnt look like I moved a thing

Ill let you know when those Koi you were eyeing up start pairing off...........I want to keep a pair or two of them for me..........the rest can go after I get MINE.

It was good to see you and the Lovely Ms Jan again.

BTW........."Brutus" has already been renamed  to "Shamu 2" by sarge.

Dang it Jon i want to go to Ed's also. It looks like i will be getting a couple weekends off in the near future as work is finally starting to slow down. I have to go to Leclaire Iowa( home of the pickers)  in the morning, then to Mankato Minnesota this weekend until tuesday after that i can get some time off. Going to Eds for sure then.

Only ONE camera allowed in my fishroom............MINE 

There are some super secret projects in the works here beyond the curtains that even John doesnt get to see. If he, or anyone else  were to accidentally take a picture of those project tanks.........I would have to send Cousins Vinny and Angelo to his house. LOL

Oh boy. I better watch where I go when I'm there Sunday!  You better put caution tape up so I know where I'm not allowed. Haha

[EdKaz]

You have NO idea..........if you did, it would have been short lived and you wouldnt be typing today

Oh ....youll know sure enough. The section is well protected. If you cross THE line into super secret territory...... you will feel a chilly tingling sensation.................right before you DISINTEGRATE into dust sized  pieces.

BTW John........did you by chance take my dog home with you. I cant find him anywhere.

Oh $#!^ !!!!!...............You didnt see him go behind "the curtain" did you?

Everyone already knows all about those two. Old news. It's the other ones he refers to Jon.

Phase two was completed two weeks ago and testing has begun on phase two version 3.
I can understand it is hard for the seasoned set here to keep up.

I'm sorry that you weren't informed about the further progress beyond phase two version 3. ...but we were sworn to secrecy....I will check and see if your security clearance is still good, then get back to you with the real deal developments, etc....please stay tuned...
