OK Folks...Here are the photos I promised back during the last Ice Age. After getting back to Houston, It’s been a real storm of activity. Between getting a new place whipped into nesting condition for Baby Girl and the long hours at work and commuting, I haven’t been on my ‘puter more than 15 minutes every other week or so and that only to attend to bills.
The Apian Cantina Fred has deployed consists of a repurposed cooler, an aquarium type filter pump and one of his lady’s cake pans. As you can see there is an abundance of ¾” rocks to give Da Girls a place to tickle their toes in the water. The rice you see is for color and that "tropical feel".
The last time we discussed his set-up, Fred was working to fine tune an idea he had for a small solar cell to power the pump and subsequently power down at dusk.
I'm going to post as many photos as I can here...

Up to my elbows in the dirt while being on top of the dirt is a great day!
