Well Al Eaton just explained it all to me...........measurement
error..........best to do every 3-5 days........once they get real big its
really hard to measure on the exact same spot each time.........doing it
every day leads to frustration........ doing it every 3-5 days corrects
human error better..........he has the experience...........George Brooks
also stated they just don't stop..........will measure every 3 days from
now on.................Wayne
