Work Day

I felt really ambitious this morning so I decided to install the new pump in the pond.
I decided to move the bigger pump that still worked to the skimmer position where it ran through the bubbler. I installed the new pump as a stand alone unit that flows into the back of the upper pond. That worked out great as the bubbler now is much more active.

The job went really well and I found all the parts I needed out in the shop, so I did not need to make a run to the hardware store.

The waterfall runs much fuller now.

When I finished with the other pond I pulled some weeds around this one. After lunch I went out to change oil and filter in the mower. There is a robin's nest close to where I was working with 4 babies in it. Every time I looked up at it they were still as could be. I went in the shop and looked out through the blinds and they were moving all around and flapping their wings when I wasn't out there. No picture of the mower, I took one but it was not too inspiring.

My new cowl, would you believe it is made from a Pepsi bottle shrunk over a form with heat. I am real happy with the way that turned out. Well, it is time to go watch the DVR recording of Wipeout!
