I saw this in the local paper and thought of you Don. Please only use the weed eater by the pond from now on. Muffin say only the gas weed eater, no electric. N.C. man dies after lawn mower pins him in pond The Associated Press © August 31, 2010 CLEVELAND, N.C. A North Carolina man has died after a riding lawn mower pinned him underwater for almost half an hour. The Salisbury Post reported 53-year-old Genovevo Garcia of Cleveland drowned Monday at a farm where he was mowing grass along the edge of a pond. Farm owner Bill Russell says the mower tipped over and rolled into the water on top of Garcia. Russell says he saw Garcia fall into the pond and drove his four-wheeler over to the water to help. But he couldn't move the mower. Firefighters used a pulley system made of Russell's four-wheeler, a rope and a nearby tree to remove the mower. Garcia was pronounced dead at Davis Regional Medical Center in Statesville. Margaret

Can some one supply the MD address so I can get a close-up of the gathering. I have access to a US military rental satilite with capabilities to read license plates from outer space. If I can't be there in person I will be spying on them from my control room. :ignore: Pictures update every 15 seconds so I should be able to catch a lot of them in the act. I am hoping to catch the first pictures of the pond monster ever from outer space. Oh ya those pesky little pygmies too. If Margaret reads this be by the pond at 1:00pm Saturday, on the diving board and wave so I know which one you are. :yikes:

I heard that Don's neighbour was a bit annoyed by last years event that he added a creature in his pond, as I approached the pond A huge swirl appeared and I BACKED AWAY Damn quickly I was not going to be the 1st victim :rotfl: -
What no pond monsters? I wasn't able to make the Freebird MD this year ...........AGAIN but, I did so love to see the pictures posted of the Pond monster sitings which I have not noticed from the postings this year. I also missed seeing any video on 86 er's buddy Bubba. I miss his insightful ramblings as well..

WOW, they're getting very touchy. When I cross I guess I'd better not say that I'm volunteering to harvest pond creatures on the Nelson Fish Farm... http://news.ca.msn.com/canada/cbc-article.aspx?cp-documentid=24216148

OK, so I cruise out to Don's house to have him so generously sync my carbs, and in the meantime I have a potential buyer who lives 30-40 minutes from there. The buyer meets me at Freebird's house, sees the bike, talks to Don, and we walk over to the pond to discuss the deal. Under threat of attack by pond monsters (we were standing next to the 'Beware' sign) we made a fast, no-hassle deal! Not sure if it was the fear of attack or just Don's good nature that assisted the most, but my thanks and gratitude to both. Not only did he get a great running bike in the deal, but hopefully he will be one more attendee at maintenance day. Note to Don - the bike ran tip-top, of course, on the way home. Watched it pull out on the trailer this morning, so I'm back to a one-bike stable with the 1100 Virago. Stay safe everyone! Have a great riding season!

I managed to catch the notorious pond monsters on video this year.....ill get that up later. I also got a couple pics....... the first one I THINK is one of the pond monsters who actually came up on land and tried to cleverly disguise itself as a venturerider the second pic is two of them trying to hide in the pond

I wasn't able to attend the MD this year........AGAIN. But I've been following all of the post. Looks like it was a great event and everyone had a good time. It just wasn't in the cards for me this year. Maybe next year. But, since hearing about the pond monsters from earlier MD events, I had sharpened my harpone and was ready just in case I could have made it. In all of the post, I haven't noticed any mention of the pond monsters and was curious if any did appear this year. If so was any pictures taken?

It looks like we wont be making it to Dons this weekend as the trike is in the shop getting the cruise repaired and hopefully getting rid of the whine in the engine. We hope everyone has a great time as always at Dons and hopefully the pond monster will not make an appearance this year. ride safe everyone. Mike and T

According to Wikipedia, a legend is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place during a motorcycle rally and to possess certain qualities that give the tale some sense of authenticity. These narratives are centered around pictures that are taken by attendees and explained in online posts to those who were not eye witnesses to the event but like to live their lives vicariously through those that did attend. Well, a legend has begun around a "life form" seen in a pond by only a few people who have attended at Maintenance Day celebrations in Oberlin, Ohio. How it started...many, many, many, many moons ago, one Canadian (our now dearly departed, Charlie) had a camera during one sighting (maybe the first), and posted what he tagged as the pond monster, or was it the Nelson Ness Monster...I forget...but given that he had a reputation for photoshopping his pictures, and was considered by many native Canadians not to be of a sound mind, his posts lacked some credibility, and consequently many ventureriders didn't believe what they saw in his posts...and that's how legends get started. Since some rumours have circulated that I have a special connection to the monster, (likely because I am one of only a hand full of people who have dared the depths of the pond), and since I am one who lives his whole life in the pursuit of educating the masses, I have taken it upon myself to investigate these ULFs (unidentified life forms) and set the record straight once and for all. I am currently in the process of writing the TRUE story, I am gathering evidence, I am waiting for pictures to arrive, I am purchasing software to detect photoshopping, I am checking with my sources (only credible eye witnesses) and I will submit the final product when it is done. If you don't post anything under this post my story WILL be posted directly under this one and it will be bumped for all to readwhen I have determined the truth ; however, if you can't wait for my story and you start your own dribblings below about what you heard (or saw) as is already happening in other threads, then my story will be buried in subsequent pages (which may be best anyways) and the true story of the pond monster may end up being lost forever...

Oh please tell me that the Pond Monster hasn't escaped and is now on the loose!!!

Ok seeing as how we are going to do Maintenance day again at Freebirds house lets all bring 2 red bricks per person so we can surround the pond.In doing so it may help save Don money and time repairing the damaged yard equipment.I figure in the next 3 years we should be able to have enough bricks to put up a 3 foot high wall all the way around the pond. One other advantage to building a wall is that it will keep the Pond Monsters in the pond and not out on the road riding. Jeff

I'm only going to say a very little about this. I would like to sell my pond. You can also have whatever you find in the bottom. Here are a few rules you might want to remember when you get it home. 1. Ponds are always hungry. 2. Gazebos are a lot like sails or parachutes in high winds. 3. The water is still COLD this time of the year. and that's all I've got to say about that.

The last time I tried Google, it showed a vacant field where my house is. I don't know if they have updated their maps or now. I just tried Live Earth though and it is showing pictures within the last couple of years. Here is the one of my place. Luckily it was taken while those pond monsters were present. My Place
