Jon,
Glad you like the T'S.........it has been rough selling them as our toWn is
about 1000.........and only 40 of those thousand like pumpkins....lots of
loggers here and give me the once over whenn I wear a pumpkin T......our
shirts costs us a fortune to have done....14.90 each at 60 Ts..........so
were not making any money and it sure isn't worth ll the time designing and
selling the damn things............i guess you have to be a pumpkin nut to
really like them..........sooo is our San Jose buddy Solomon?? Who told
Chris he wasn't growing this year.......and I said yeah right!.....this is
cruel but last year when our buddy said that he had and 800-900 even though
it charted out at 600 was in denial when the scale spoke...oh his face
.....felt his pain..but I down play my act to keep me in perspective....but
there always the dream of being over the charts last year was 9% over on
one....and thats my biggest now in the patch .....so i am hoping......stll
so many days away.....and growth is down to an inch a day on it.....please
be growing inside.....Heilman hasn't wrote in a while maybe he thinks I
sabatoged him ...but i cut off deseased leaves because once they are
injured ..they aren't that much help to the plant and stopping the spread
of desease is more important......but you can't cut all the
leaves!!.............this guy is so tickled pink its killing me!! actually
helped me put things back into perspective.....finish the house brock thats
the sure bet....make Vic happy thats the sure bet!!! what the hell was i
chasing an 800.........no thats a lotto.....and its Heilmans lucky
time.......brock
