[Tom]

[harlantk]

LOL

Tim

 

[Wade E]

Fingers crossed for your deadline to happen!

 

[harlantk]

Thank you folks, the support is greatly appreciated
I figure it this way, a lot of reading time, like cramming for an exam
I learned a lot and realize I have not learnt SQUAT yet so going in thinking i am prepared LOL and opening the door to a whole new adventure.
It sure is different than things were 20 some years ago!
I think the fact that things have changed so much, offers me that mindset of totally starting new, and what I forgot from years ago, well let it be forgotten!
Thank you all again!

Tim

couple bushels of wild plums dropped in my lap from my SD trip. Started that...this weekend will be my attempt as Saskatoon wine.

Today I made a 1 1/2 gallon batch of grape/blueberry/cranberry storebought wine. I bought these juices a while ago but nobody is drinking them so it is now wine. (I hope).
