Death Before Lunch - Epilogue

There were good things and bad things about finishing up the replacement of the fountain pump. Before I went in to lunch, I loosely put the basin cover and the screen over the basin to try to keep the water clean. I came back out, removed the cover prior to putting in the new pump, and what do I see? Yep, you guessed it - one of the little buggers was scooting around the rim of the basin. Bad thing. I chased him/her out, then got back to work. Good thing: the new pump works exactly as it should, the mellow sound of gently splashing water is once again heard on the patio. Life is good. For now.
