Well I managed to get the ramp screwed on the skid. Had to crawl in the pool. Was a bit cold but I adjusted. 
PH is right on 7. Waiting on the water temps to warm up more. The night time temps are to start staying in the 50s. Soo it shouldn't be to much longer till they can go out.

Little pond is almost clean, I should have it running tomorrow. This weekend we'll tackle the big one, I'm not looking forward to it.
Still need to think of something to use as hides for the small turtled. Just in case they want or have to get away from the big guys.
I found a grey unused drainage pipe 5 inches round and 4 foot long. Going to cut into 16'' lengths and silicone them to bricks to keep it them submerged.
Good morning! The sun is out and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. Guess I'll be working outside today. 
Drott, your turtles are lucky critters.

Their loving it 87 at the shack. Not funny but is. Thought I had all from the basement. So I got the 6 from the hubby's computer - junk room. Then when I went back to the basement to unhook the lights and stuff there was this little turtle hanging out by the pump. Soo there's 25 total. Put the tortoises out also.

Yippee Drott! That's a big accomplishment. I did get the little pond started, so far so good. Still have to have Mr. V drag out the big pump for the big pond. as I'm not even trying to carry the freaking thing myself. We're draining it down this year to give it a big cleaning, the frogs can hop on over to the little one while we're working.
Orioles are back now too, and this morning I saw the Indigo Buntings have returned. Happy day at the hut.

It’s 72 but stormy...of course...but that didn’t stop the flys.
I actually bought 5 pairs of sweat shorts and T shirts to wear housebound. Everything is starting to open up here.You can eat in a restaurant now though I don’t know who would want to.I would like to see the Grandkids but my one son won’t let anyone near his house. The daughters three older boys are at their Dad in Michigan. So I guess I’ll just stay here in my special shorts and swat flys...Hope everybody is staying healthy. I think I’ll binge watch the paranormal channel and make BLT’S for dinner.

ok speaking of frogs. Has anyone seen a chameleon frog. We had one on our outdoor wire work bench. There was a small chunk of concrete Mr Crabbypants laid on it. When he we outside again there were two...It was a freakin frog that looked exactly like a chunk of concrete..Never heard of them. It really looked like a chunk of concrete.
Always had turtles my original 3 I got when they were quarter size their 35 years old. A lot are rescues.
It's a gray tree frog, we have oodles of them. Loud little buggers during mating season which happens to be the past few weeks.
