LOL Daryl amen on those miserable 6 legged vultures.  Cyndi - I figure it's
just too boring to say - hi guys, still hotter than bejesus here.  watering
again.  yadda, yadda. every friggin' day.   My HCG order comes in the week
of 9/20 so may have something interesting (or at least different) to share
by then.  Oh, I do have to have the back of the house leveled here in a few

But this is also kind of boring I guess.....
