Damn, I'm good. <grin> I am quite pleased with the results. Enough
so, that I'll be out back picking figs again tomorrow before it gets
hot. Might even send the boys out with ladders to get the stuff too
high for short little me to reach. We have them this week, might as
well put them to work!

My almost two year old grandson seems to like to crawl into the dog's
