Okay guys and gals....I was talking to my old bud Treeman and as usual, the subject came around to avocados (aint it funny how that happens?) I had planted an avocado from seed and it was now about six feet tall. So since it was still cool outside, I transplanted it.

For 4 weeks, the tree did great. Then we hit our first heat wave. Over one hundred F and a hot wind blowing. Man I tried everything, I built a tent over it, I went out after sundown and misted the leaves, I covered up the ground. All was to no avail. So I dug the poor old thing up again and trimmed it down to the trunk.

Called my my Chris and he said pour coffee grounds around it and keep it moist. weeks went by and ..nothing.. it was well and truely deader than a doornail.

This is how I remember it..

.

So I innocently said to the treeman, "well thanks for the help, I guess I'll start another one."

He said...(oh goodie.. I'll start one too!)

I said okay maybe the winner ought to recieve some small token of the others esteem.

He said hooray! I'll start one right now! We will race for it! I'm going use a hydrofonical glomma domma enhanced super system.! First one to sprout a leaf wins.

I started to feel kinda like a June bride on her wedding night. I knew I was going to get had, but I didn't know how much or how often.

Sometime later He texts me a photo and his seed has big old long healthy roots and mine has done...well not much. I knew then that he had expertly given me the old shafteroo! But you know? Water roots aren't dirt roots and mine took off like a rocket while his did ...well nothing!!

Of course he was a good sport and said he'd send me a little trinket to say I won. I figured if he won, I was going to send him a bucket of freeze dried vacuum pack hog livers.

My next post will show pictures, gotta remember how.

Thanks for reading

Mr. Avocado...

Very nice, and I agree about those tubes....I don't think they shoot good either, and I bought a lot of it.

It's latex peep sight tubing for archery

Aw Darrell... That explains the odd pull that they have. Might make perfect tabs, I'll hang on to them.

Well thats not quite how I remember it, but I did lose the race fair and square to Mr Avocado. Im glad you like your winnings my friend. I bow to your avocado growing greatness.
I get to pick the next race. Marquess of Queensbury rules?

Darrell, those tubes absolutely love the heavy stuff. I was getting a strong slap with my typical light ammo. I added about a half inch to my active length and they're zipping big marbles like a boss.

Somehow I lost the post where I tell you guys what a beautiful sling this is. So if it shows up somewhere, forgive the repeat.
If you have never actually held one of his slings in your hand, you can't imagine how beautifically (?) crafted they are. They are like holding a fine piece of art. Or a beautiful stringed instrument !. I wish you all could hold this sling in your hands for a moment.

Thanks Chris.

When I was about 10 years old I went over to meet and hang out with a kid in the neighborhood. In his kitchen was the big ol' seed in a glass filled with water and I asked what it was. He and his Mom said,
"Well young and pleasant Moses that is an avocado seed we are sprouting".
I said, "Nope, that ain't no f**ken avocado. My Mom has an avocado plant and it is twice as big and huge compared to that piece of sh*t little twig!".
After the commotion in their kitchen settled down I called my Mom to tell her I was bringing Chris over to see a REAL avocado tree!
She said, "That's fine my wonderful little boy. Bring him over".
As we were walking across the street I could see her silhouette in the bay window dragging something through the living room.
When we got inside the avocado tree was gone!! I asked her where the avocado tree was and she calmly replied, "Oh silly, that poor tree died a couple of days ago and you didn't even notice!"
If you haven't guessed that she was grooming some ganja in the living room, then you likely got hooked on Nancy Reagan television commercials when you were a kid.
