Cycadcenter 23 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Hey Tad, Any chance of starting a new thread, this one is getting pretty long and takes ages to load when I'm on dial up. Thanks Bruce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amazondk 82 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 Tad, Great pictures of your work. I keep them coming. But, maybe as Bruce said it would be good start from another spot. My connection is now better than dial up, but nowhere near what my kids have in Florida. Thanks, again for the pictures. dk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Keith 744 Report post Posted December 20, 2007 You could start on 1-1-08 entitled "A Year at the Farm - 2008". Take us through a year of a commercial palm growing operation. That would be awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
