New friends & aquaponics

mikephotoSorry it took a while to get a new blog up but my laptop screen has totally gone the way of the doe-doe!

My guest (Mike) arrived and all I can say is we are having a blast. We stayed in a nice hotel and went out to the casino in Panama city. I took $20 and turned it into $100 at the roulette table. We really tied one on :(

I had friends over last night and we watched an instructional video on aquaponics, how frigg’n cool!!! Aquaponics is a growing system where you grow fresh-water fish like tilapia and a garden at the same time. Its a closed system where all the water is recycled. The fish waste feeds the garden, cleans the water, and returns it to the fish tank. The nutrients from the fish waste produce AMAZING vegetables. It’s a really nice system of growing especially if your in an urban area, or have a yard with little space. With a 1000 liter system you can keep your family in organic veggies and fish for little money, priceless! The system is cheap to build as well. I love practical things that add to a better quality of life.

We are off to San Blas in the next few days. The weather has been wonky but “normal” for this time of year.

Carla’s back soon and will meet up with us in San Blas.

I know a lot of you guys are getting to the coldest part of winter. If anyone is interested to come for a week let me know. I have a number of things that need to come here from the states and will make some good deals on charter-time.

Cheers from paradise.
