Sigh..........if only it was curly QSWO. How you been Spanky?

What kind do you like to plant? Jealous of two crops. I would not plant so many if I could have fresh practically year round.

Supposedly if you put them in a brown paper sack in a cool place/ basement they will ripen.

If you look around on the internet you can find a PAINT SUPPLY store that sells high performance for very reasonable. I have been buying 3 gallons at a time because shipping is free over $150.00. 55.65 a gallon or 20.56 a quart. IMO if you don't hit it with a coat of shellac first you are wasting QSWO as the rays will not pop with just waterbase finish. Bona finishes make some sealers that do pop the rays. I just used amberseal on stair treads and risers but they have a few other sealers that might work for you.

My sister lived up North of you in Hackensack for 30 years so I understand the battle and disappointment of trying to get a crop up North.

If coop would package those very carefully and send them up to us, we could have some ripe tomatoes here in a few weeks. Two more months and I will be planting garden. We had 36 tomato plants last year and got pretty tired of them.

Probably could sneak a few out. I count 11 tops waiting and I'm to busy working on stuff I want to do right now to look at the Longarm machine.

Spanky, I finally finished up my staircase. You might notice a little curl in that first QSWO tread.

Good day to be in the shop, 5 degrees at 4:00 in the afternoon. At least it's sunny.

I would spend cash for some good fresh home grown tomatoes right now.

Not sure how high I'm kicking but I am still moving.Went to the spine doc today to discuss a small problem and how to fix it. But I have finished our dining room table . And now I am working on making the treads and risers for my staircase.

I have the Dewalt Dado set and really think it does a good job.

I have a 25 caliber Grizzley single shot air rifle if you change your mind. I could use some warm weather and a little less snow.

To much snow and ice to do anything but keep my feet close to the ground. Knees are doing well though. I wonder how Dave is getting along with his shots?
