Been hoping for that to happen since the 60's 
hang 'em high. Hell yes.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I don't do drugs, smoke, gamble or drink (much)... and with work nearly non-existant compared to the prosperity before 2007 when congress changed
hands, I am here on Nomad and the Tacoma forum a lot more than I want to be... but it is fun, just doesn't pay well!
Got Drip? Call me for landscape irrigation upgrades or installs... please! 
|
Really surprised it is not used down here and many other places ... much, much more... given the limiting factor which all must deal with (water)...
it is pretty cheap to set up for watering things... saves time, money and water !!! ... toss in an inline fertilizer dispenser... on timers and your
little friends are taken care of.... all you have to do is watch for critters... and enjoy your plants...
Good luck, DK.. it is an industry... which still has not hit it's stride here in the States ... have everything on drip, except my wife's flowers..
some kind of woman thing... she likes "taking" care of them in the morning hours with her coffee ... been trying for over 40 years to get here to put
them on emmiters with a timers plus fertilizer ... still could have coffee and look at the plants... she just lost the diamond from her wedding ring
out side a few months ago... not sure why some women would wear a diamond ring out side to work in the dirt... but, many, many do... had suggested for
years not to do it.... it's zirconium this time....
Perhaps the continuing drought will make more folks thing along those lines... still seeing severe drought in the major area of water shed for most of
the western United States ...
Hope we get another very wet winter... we need it !!
One can't do anything without water.... period...
Someone posted a thread on "water wars"... it is something to be concerned about.. fresh drinking water..

David, where those books you posted pics. of part of your inheritence from Corke?
I'm really sorry that business is off for you and yours. "Mcfez' is right though, People might not be able to afford the cost of your expertize
right now, but, if around my area is any indication, they are still too lazy to mow their own lawns, Might get you through?
There is no one that I know that has more expertize about Baja, and especially Baja Missions than you............there must be other "anal retentive"
 
newbie folks out there with a few bucks that would love to have you 'drag them around' (I've followed you everywhere , dang lost Mission anyway
:lol Maybe this is the time? Post on Craig's list? San Diego Union? Whatever,
this has been your dream, maybe time to go for it? Surely more fun than sitting around blaming the Dems.  |
No, those were mine.. the first one was the one I had used pages out of for a high school report on the first California missions (that are not taught
about in our schools... we are told San Diego is the first California mission). That was why I tried to contact Choral (Corke) in the first place...
she had no extra copies... The second edition I found a few years ago, forgot where or if it was online?
Of the books Choral gave me on Baja... many I had already and I donated the duplicates to the Baja Book Library of El Rosario (a project for the
future, but the collection is big).

Yes, often comes up... albeit at a higher price than the original $2.50 (1975) or $1.95 (1973)!
I may reproduce it online at some point. Choral granted me full rights to share her work in any manner I desired. I did have publishers ready to
produce her new book, twice... But, the job never happened.
See the web page I made: http://choralpepper.com
