you can't mean @Frogs97? A good TCU boy always knows when to go to bed, or is that pass out?

What happened to the turtles? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I still have turtles. I posted a video of one who arrived this past week in another thread, and another yearling has been purchased and is provisionally scheduled for delivery this coming Wednesday, weather permitting.

You know, I had a dream I was floating around just like that last night. Except it was in the day. And I was floating in the air, not the water. Oh, and I was in a PC-12 ... but otherwise it was EXACTLY like that.

My new house had a "water feature" right underneath the front living room bay window. It was really beautiful pond, around 12 ft long and 5 ft wide with a coquina rock waterfall on one end with a statue of a boy sitting on a huge fish.

I hired some people to use a jack hammer to rip it out and replace it with a paver patio.

The reason: every time it rained, the (invasive) Cuban tree frogs would have a loud, wild orgy, way past my bedtime. Those things were so loud we couldn't watch television or even have a quiet conversation, even with the windows closed. And the next morning, the pond would be full of floating blobs of gelatinous crap loaded with frog eggs. If I didn't get them all out quickly, they would clog up the filter, and the ones that didn't get filtered turned into tadpoles in a matter of days.

Now, we can enjoy our patio, and we turned the coquina waterfall into a really nice planter.

Remember that most Americans are an invasive specie

So annoying, those frogs. Old house had a swimming pool next to the woods, and those things would just multiply during rainy times, and they'd come to the pool. Which was just outside the bedroom window. My wife would laugh every night as I'd take the shallow leaf skimmer, carefully scoop up those little bastards, and FLING them far far into the woods. if they hit solid wood during their flight, all the better.

Oh man, that was way too harsh. Ripping it all out and paving?
That's what God invented the pellet gun for! Or AirSoft too. Slower bigger projectile, makes them splat even farther.
Red dot or night vision scope on the pellet gun works wonders for headshots.

Speaking of frogs, it was deafening anywhere close to the ponds up in the hills last weekend. Which was surprising because most of them still are half frozen over. I even tried to take a picture of one little guy hopping on the ice. First time I've ever seen that. I was surprised they can function like that, being ectothermic.

I love fried frog legs! Tasty, like chicken. No offense Rich.
