I'm catching up and this list today, it's just too cold in the garage 
right now and parts of this thread just demand an reply.

Bev has been on the list for a long time and has provided not only 
information but entertainment. I can't remember we started 'talking' 
but it was well before the century rolled over, I can find where I 
wrote to her back in 1998.

I really enjoy Bill's posts about what's happening on his place, 
every now and then there is something that I can use, but anything 
that is remotely political (something not specifically dealing with a 
homestead issue) is a broken record.... His political party is Good 
all others are Bad. <Shrug>, I don't need it. The hops post was a 
good one but it did not have anything for me other than general knowledge.

Now on to Tvo.... That man saved ME more blood, time and cash than I 
can count and that's a "no shitter".
He had experience, he had a brain, he had a sense of humor and was 
willing to share.
Damn I miss him.

Well it's above freezing now, maybe the florescent lights will work 
now (the 2 older sets don't when it's cold). I guess it's time to 
send this and go see.
