Jay,
I totally forgot about pulling them off yours. Now that you mentioned it, I do. I guess I pay more attention the the ORVs And I think they have always been clean. I wonder if they pick these up while resting in the bottom.
I went down the catch them for someone, but threw them all back because of the parasites. The ORVs have moved out and the piked will be moving in soon.
Yes, the road is fixed, at least until the next nor eastern. I would say about 1/3 of the mile long road had washed into the marsh. impressive damage from Irene.
My architectural / engineering prints are done. Now I'm the process of designing the lagoon and putting it out for bid. I'm going back and forth between a poured concrete pool with acrylic front wall or a liner pool with windows, like what Josh has.
