        Ok, thanks for the technical. It was really rhetorical so I could mention my HHO build with flames coming out the back!

          If I put the V940 on the UL1 can I have the flag for fastest submarine?

              Looks like another cool-windy-rainy weekend

              Egneg, it looks like I'm going to need some props S/B and I need to return this 220 to you. I know you mentioned that you needed something over the phone. Let me know what it is and maybe we can make a little trade for services.

                I am checking out a new pond. It's about the size of a football field (rectangular even) and is clear all the way around it (grass and sloped banks into the water). It's in a new development off of Princess Anne road and they are just starting to build houses. I saw it from Seaboard road this past Saturday and will let you know more after I get a closer look.

                    Do you have a rough address? Or can I find via the intersection of Seaboard and Princess Anne.

                    I'm also working on that pond over at Princess Anne Park, back behind the CHKD Intensive Care Hospital. It seems that they would love to have the kids be able to see the boats from the upper floors, but I think Sentara owns the pond. It has the same characteristics: sloped banks to the water, plus it looks pretty clean. Besides that, it's the perfect size.

                    Here's a link: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie...05515&t=h&z=18

                    The CHKD is built now to the North, but not right on the pond. It is set back about 75 to 120 yards if I remember correctly.

                      OK, I found the general area. Is it close to the intersection of Princess Anne and Searboard to the North or is it closer to the East?

                          Other Ponds

                          Diego, don't forget about that guy I talked to when we were looking for a pond that day with Jeff, because of the wind. Remember? He was excited about having us come out and he even had a john boat and a canoe we could use for rescue.

                          pond_byJeffs.jpg

                          More detailed pic:

                          pond_byJeffs_birdseye.jpg

                          Notice the size. The legend says 40 yards, in case you can't read easily. It's perfect for even DuncanJerry to bring out the big stuff

                          Plus no wind even on windiest days due to the water sitting down about 15 feet or maybe more.

                          In case you don't remember, this is right around the corner from the church, but isn't connected to that water system. Nice and clean, and from what he said, fairly deep.

                            For comparison, look at the difference in the water:

                                Are you planning on taking advantage of the weather tomorrow and getting in a run?
