Are pear trees and cherry trees like apple trees in the respect that the best time to plant is 20 years ago?

i think so. the cherries will grow a little faster, so maybe 10 years ago? i'm still young and hope to get some use out of them.

It all depends on the rootstock m'deario, a "natural" tree on its own roots can take up to 5-7 years to begin bearing fruit, but the dwarf trees are much quicker as they reach their full size quicker

Well today I filled 2 kegs of Newcastle Brown Ale clone. Racked 10 gallons of a Killian's clone. When SWMBO & daughter come home we will be having 3 bottles of wine tonight. Unsure of what (it's their choice)

Tonight I was the good son. Did dinner, being that I'm a home husband right now, not working and the wife is bringing home the bacon. Took some of it to my 81 year old mother a couple blocks away. Now I'm enjoying a bottle of cheap merlot from Wally's World. Got to get the bottle empty some how.

I went flying this evening. I just came in from work and a friend of mine called and asked if I'd like to go flying.

The first picture is our chariot to the sky. It's a 1946 Piper Cub, the next pictures are the rolling hills of northern Pennsylvania. It's alot prettier once the trees have leaves.

Those members from Pennsylvania and Southern New York State have probably heard quite a bit about drilling for natural gas in Marcellus shale, the first photo is a drill site, and a rather small one.

Photo 2 we are back at my friends landing strip, it runs almost parallel with the left spar of the plane. You can another plane has come to visit and is on the side of the strip.

Photo 3 we're about to land.

Mabey next time, we were talking about checking out some of the larger drill sites that are over that way. The Grand Canyon is only an hour by car from here. I do have some pics of it from the floor as there is a wonderful bicycle trail there that we have ridden several times.

I have a visit to the midwife this afternoon and then going shopping for maternity clothing.

Rodo, those are some cool pictures. Sure does bring back some good ole memories. About 20 years ago I had a Phantom Ultralight, aluminum frame and nylon skin. 40 hp rotax engine. It sure was fun to fly around here. Give her the gas and in 35 feet you were starting to fly.
