Re: Earl whips my, er, hind end

What amazes me after cutting a good amount of juniper is the amount of water that shows up.

I now buy it (Juniper) split, 16&q...

Re: The passing of my Father

My condolences on your Fathers passing.

For about six-months after my father passed, whenever something happened that I thought he'd like to hear about, I'd find myself picking up the phone to call him to tell him about it. So, if that happens to you, think nothing of it - it's natural.
