I watched a rather unique fish stocking episode this morning.... The land owner had set up the stocking months ago I think and it poured last night -- IE no way to get the truck close enough that his delivery hose would work.. Ok the drivers next step made me think of Blue -- he drug out a 10ft x 100ft roll of black plastic.. The boys helped him unroll enough to reach the pond (about 60ft) and then he got it in a small depression and using his short hose he stocked the pond. The owner got about 100 black bass and about the same in channel cats... At least they are all about 6in long and the pond is supposedly sterile of fish... Anyway I thought the delivery guy has used this trick before and it looked like a good idea to me.. just lift the upper end and walk the stragglers in little pools to the water. Then as the "talk" started I got rescued by the wife - sent me a text saying she was ready to go.. The mans wife is her hair dresser LOL.. Of course on the way home there were questions from the couldn't wait until granny was gone section.... one ask if it would work like that to make a slide at the lake? Well with gran in the car I didn't have time to save him... she was all over that one real fast--- NO!!! there will be no slides made at the lake, you will end up getting hurt and then your mom will be mad. Well you know where that puts us -- we will have a slide now even if it hair lips the governor LOL. I did tell the boys its all on them, they know granny has no funny bone left... OH well I just thought this was a cool idea on the drivers part.
