Hello fish!

I've been auctioned off (I hear whispers that the Cap board is cutting expenses due to corrupt leadership) and my spooning partner MissFisk aquired me for the Pisces board.

Don't all cheer at once now, we don't want to disturb the neighbors. 😉

Hey I'm a Scorpio now. Screw that corporate creep running things over there now. Somebody ought to go Soprano's on her asap.

What the new "leader" doesn't know is that while we're enjoying our new watery homes we're also building alliances...strong alliances.

As I understand it, I'm in with you lot, too. CP's investigationalizing turned up that the power mongering freaks did, in fact, manage to break the bank. No way I'm recapitalizing it while people are still taking orders from them. Did anyone manage to get ahold of the assassins? No offense to the fish, but it would be nice to know how long we should plan on camping out here. You know, should I just throw up my hammock or pitch a tent?

Stoic, I think we should settle in...things are looking pretty abysmal (I mean we have a CANCER appointed in office).

CP, who do we have on the inside?

Alrighty then. I set up my tent. If any of you didn't have time to grab your own, you're welcome to crash here with me.

I think I have enough couches to keep everyone up off the ground.

Much obliged for the offer. *tips hat* As it stands, the wide open sea is just a hop, skip, and jump down the hill past the far side of the tent. Not to sound ungrateful, but I think it would be far more wise to hold that trump card for deploy at a later date.

I'm just chilling waiting for the bankruptcy to become public knowledge and the market to tank so I can recapitalize my bank with assets bought at pennies on the dollar. 'Tis a pleasure to be here, just the same, though. Cocktail?

No throwing up inside my tent, either...any of you.

I will visit both the beautiful tent and the hot stone tub, but as it's girl's night at the koi pond.

Oh, we do need men to attend and serve the drinks. The dress code is strict, black dress pants and jacket, no shirt.

Given the short notice and remote location, I regret to inform it was not possible to have jackets tailored. I am hopeful these will prove adequate. Best regards, S. Goat

I was beginning to fear I might be imposing myself in Fishland given the absence of any welcome mat I could discern. Thank you for the welcome, Ms. Koisies! 🙂

It must surely be Poseidon playing tricks on the merpeople and mergoats again. He has quite the reputation for indulging in illusion and fantasy.

I see it! I see it! I would expect nothing less of the merpeople than so warm a welcome as this. Thank you! 🙂

@ CP...FYI..aside from the goal of owning a C-10..I golf too (avg 200yds off tee)😉 suck with irons though and #2..if you build the mentioned hot tub please take step by step notes as I would give it a whirl myself. I already have an outdoor fire pit, but my guess is one that retains water will be a tad more labor..I have a vision of combining the fire pit joined by that number in the pic. Lots of rocks where I am, with a Home Depot 30 mins away.

...staying away from cap board...

lol..oh on the golf balls. I get it, and never tried that and no kidding on precision techniques!

This past summer I was running errands. Was at a stop sign and this beautiful '65 c-10 goes by with a couple in it. Looked like original color blue. I followed them all the way over into another town to a grocery store. lol..I was thankful the woman got out first and headed toward the store not waiting for her husband(I immediately assumed married). I approached her when she got halfway, introduced myself and started asking about the truck. She was very gracious and said talk to my husband about this. He catches up, tells me he bought it early spring off e-bay $ 6,800.00 I asked him what he had to do he said nothing, they'd been driving it since. The guy even drove it up from North Carolina for them. I almost fell over. He even let me get in. (I'm telling you I'm obsessed with them) Gave him my name and phone # and said when he's ready to sell call me..even if it's five years from now, don't care. They both laughed. So with that said..yea, who cares about color..hope yours works out. (pics please!!)

Now...about the hot tub plans. When you say wood fired hot tub, is that the same as the outdoor woodburning units that heat an entire home (heat and water?). I'm about to research "rocket stoves" don't know if that's the same, but what a brilliant idea! I'm all about efficiency and not sending another corporate utility execs kid to college. I do know some really good masons around here who do new construction, between them and a pool guy, I'm sure I'll get a better picture. I printed the one you shared but have other ideas for design on the top. The sweet thing about this rock hot tub is the thought of summer time and sitting in that thing minus the heat. Anyway, thanks for sharing that.😉
