Episode III of A Man and His Pond

Keith is standing in the bog, which is several feet from the pond.
What is that big black thing?
If you guessed “giant slip and slide” – I sure hope you’re wrong.
Keith – assisted by good friends Dan, Brett, Rick and brother Byron – laid the 500 lb. waterproof pond liner today, a crucial new chapter in the saga of “A Man and His Pond.” He paid them in brisket, ribs, beans and pecan pie – certain small (though tasty!) recompense for lugging the equivalent weight and texture of hundreds of deflated inner tubes across baked limestone.
He had one other friend from church help him one day last year. Other than this assistance – he’s done it all himself, even with a nail through his hand, even with his knee in a brace. No Bobcat, no electric jack hammer, no dynamite (shudder) – just a cement saw, hammers, picks, buckets and lots of elbow grease effecting his vision in the limestone.
Stay tuned to this blog for the next installment of “A Man and His Pond.” I’m thinking we’re getting close to it being a wet one.
