[Y][Y] Mint looking Scott HPower. Great looking system and listening room jwc.

Sounds good winchester. Enjoy. You were right about the squirrels.....wife spotted one today jumping from the patio table to the tomatoe plant. I have one tiny green tomatoe left and he knows where that one is[:@] I guess I will pull them up in the next day or so[]

Squirrels.....why did'nt I think of that....got a yard full of them. Found a green tomatoe on the ground when I got home this afternoon.....more of their handiwork[:@]

You must have had to wrestle those monsters to get them in the pot[]A racoon or possum has been stealing my tomatoes.....gonna have to get my fly swatter out.

Sounds like a great system[Y] Welcome to the forum.

Good catch capo72....

Hey bboy. Better wear rubber shoes if you're gonna be working in the rain[^o)]

Great photography sputnik[Y]

Yes here somewhere. Rarely have a drink till the weekend and the licquor cabinet is at an all time low[] Got to make a run to the ABC store. I collected about all of Mark Knopfler's cds as well. The sound/recording is very good on all of the ones I have. Cheers gents.

Hey Carl. Stop by and say hello sometime. I think there are at least four forum members here now, you, me, bluesboy, and UFObuster.

Serious tilling power there[:^)]

Yes me too. Water them in the am and the plants are wilted by afternoon! Nothing at all wrong with Roma tomatoes Ace[Y]

Went to the Outer Banks (Kill Devil Hills) a couple of weeks ago. Wifey went to Billy's Seafood, near the (Wright Brothers Monument) and bought soft shell crabs for $2.99 each. I remember the first time I was exposed to ss crabs was at the Dockside restaurant at Wrightsville Beach about 22 years ago. They served ss crab on hamburger buns with home made tartar sauce. It was a little wierd seeing those appendages hanging out of the buns. They also served a mean bologna sandwich with mustard and chili on hamburger rolls. No breakfast....I'm making myself hungry.

It don't get much better than that, OK maby Crawfish, Shrimp, fried fish, maby not better but just as good. I've had crawfish a couple of tmes. Never figured out what parts you eat[:^)] I remember the movie No Mercy with Kim Bassinger and Richard Gere when he tells her to pull off the head and suck out the juice. Is that how its done? Sigh......wish I had'nt started thinking about Kim Bassinger. Sorry to here Christys been sick. She has to be the perfect audio wife! Thanks for the update. Chuck

Nice tomatoes dtel. Wish I had a garden spot like that. I put tomatoe cages over my plants but they quickly out grew them so now they are leaning on patio furniture. You can tell I'm a city boy[:S] I would like to claim the credit for a couple of those in your second picture. Say hello to Christy. It's good to see her posting again.

Bleu cheese! There you go Winchester....I knew someone would add an ingredient I had'nt considered. Bleu cheese and tomatoes....a perfect fit and should have been so obvious. Maybe some fresh basil from the wife's herb garden! I am 2 miles from Wrightsville Beach and fresh seafood is readily available. Last week the wife cooked hardshell crabs one night and fried softshell crabs the next. Life is good pal[]

Yeah Pesh this is life in the fast lane for me. Getting excited over tomatoes is about as wild as I get these days. Everything is so pretty here with the hydrangeas, azaleas, rhodedendrums, and lush St. Augustine. Tomatoes did'nt get blossom end rot like last year so I may have enough for me and the little lady. I hope you're helping the wife and not just supervising this year. Sounds like a nice garden but 100 tomatoes.....whew....thats a crop. Good luck with your garden and I'll have a tomatoe sandwhich for you tommorow. Want to see tomatoes....wait for dtels wife to post!

bluesboy came over to lament the closing of his shop by the fire marshall. We had a couple of Budlights and two vodka martinis with jalapeno stuffed olives and a pearl onion. bluesboy seemed to be feeling better when his designated driver showed up. Go figure[]

Anybody growing their own? I have four hierloom tomatoe plants "Cherokee Purples" growing in two terra cotta pots on the patio. I harvested some of my crop[] today and had bacon and tomatoe sandwiches for lunch. Hmmmm good. I always ask folks for their perfect tomato sandwhich ingredients and always share mine. I use Merita Old Fashion white bread, Duke's mayonaise, three strips of crisp bacon, and two thick slices of tomato with fresh ground pepper and sea salt. There are options such as Vidalia onions, or sliced cucumbers but rarely do I use lettuce. Corn is being picked here and there is one variety called sugar and cream that is sweet and juicy. Did I mention shrimp are plentiful? Is summer special or what? Okay dtel and wife.....show me your bounty[]

Nice bike fritz[Y]

Think I'll join you...what are we drinking?

Major bummer bluesboy[] I don't envy you moving all that equipment out. I am the owner of two pair of LS hybrids that came out of that little shop. We can only hope that this change will be for the better[] Very nice work on the table!

Van Morrison Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl[] Melody Gardot My One and Only Thrill[] Madeliene Peyroux Bare Bones[] Neil Young Fork In the Road[][N] (Should have been titled Fork in the Eye) Grunge, cheesy lyrics, distortion. Two good ballads)
