Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: Update Update
TubeNet is all abuzz.
Speaking of CB - if anybody is interested they will be playing on 8/4/13 on the shores of Lake Geneva, WI on the George WIlliams College Campus as part of the Music By The Lake series.
It's a beautiful really intimate outside venue and a great way to spend a summer night by the lake.
Tickets are cheap and CB has always been a good show to see. Although, the only one of the five guys in the publicity shot that I recognized was Charles Dallenbach.

Geeze, Joe! That's a blanket of chicken poop 3/8" thick if spread evenly over that area. That's enough nitrogen to be toxic to most plants!bloke wrote:..... 3-1/2 cu. yds. of chicken poop out of the chicken coops, trailered all of that, hauled it to the garden, and spread it out over a c. 50' x 70' area. ....

Re: Update Update
Taking inspiration from blokes sharing with the group I too want to share an anouncement with the Group.
Its not just women that I don't understand
I also don't understand string theory or heavyweight valve caps.

Monday it was 80 degrees in Denver. Today we are getting 4 to 7 inches of snow.
That was a short summer!

Congrats on the nice find.Curmudgeon wrote:Picked up a 1926 4 valve Conn "Sousaphone Grand" yesterday. ....
24" bell. This would be the 40K or a 41K. Correct? Is there a model number stamped into the bell collar/tenon? 40K would be low pitch and 41K would be high pitch... according to the Conn Catalog C.
Your horn should be the same family as the 38K and 39K but slightly smaller in stature than the 46K and 48K 'jumbo' models.
The bell tenon should be the same as the more modern 20K... about 7 1/4" diameter.
