come on man...i fed you that tid bit.

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

Palm Sale? With the prices I've seen lately you can't give a palm away around here.

5' wood royal dug and loaded are $50. No B.S.

Moose better shut up before he scares away the most important guest. Know what I mean Bill?

Are we still streaking it Matty? 'round hea we use Sun In. Just sayin.

"TMI"

Better than TMJ

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

The crabs will fix TMJ. They have 6000 puonds of crushing power! They break open oysters! The Prince will be fine, we will however wait for a rough day so we can test him as a bait maker. Big breakfast first helps.

When you get to the airport in Miami you will both get sick no doubt. The humidity mixed with a distinct Latin American smell will make even the toughest blond phenoms cringe. The trip South will rattel you so much that you will only see Norkolk Islans Pines and no palms. ( A few Austrailian pines to, don't want to leave out the Ausies.)

When you get to my house you will be able to settle down. Then I will teach both of you how to use the jackhammer in coral rock. We can start with a digging bar if yous want? We will "plant a palm" in your honnor. It will be important to peel the skin of your blisters for fertilizer.

Can't wait!

Mike,

If these guys are going to be around for a week, maybe they can come up for a tour of your property. Your only 15-20 minutes from me.

Ken, I'm flattered by your kind words. You forget, I can see Mexico from my house and only need to take a short walk to the corner to smell the street vendors, mesquite bbq and cabeza taco smoke mixed with the tire shops dust of Troy St. We don't have the humidity to keep the wofting dust down. Also, you forget that I live on a hill of solid meta volcanic rock mixed with blue granite in some places. All digging is done by digging bar, jackhammers are for Florida sissy boys, plus the jack hammers don't work on blue granite, only dynamite will. I do use gloves though because I don't want to be bitten by a rattler or scorpions or subsurface dwelling trolls. You got one thing right: Paul's barf makes great bait.

Mike,

We'd love to check out your place if you're available. Some of the best stuff is gonna be seeing the people we've met here online.
