Wow, that's a lot of corn to water. You've got a WAY bigger garden then I do (At first reading of you're reply I thought you were talking about the girl! and "how could the dude be reading a magazine with her in the house!" Geno

If she lived with me,wouldn't be outside working. The corn is for dairy cows. Since the roadrunner pic was taken,the corn has been harvested.

I figured it looked like feed corn. Either that or you and your family put up a LOT for winter!
Had a neighbor one time asked how my corn tasted one year. I said fine. She told me "ours was sorta tough and starchy". I asked what kind they planted. She said "we picked the seed up at the feed store out of a bulk bin. It said "field corn" on it. " She'd never heard it called that but figured "corn grows in fields so this must be OK seed"
She did better the next year I believe.

Seems like with the proper input this could turn into a "223 AI" type thread. What ever happened to that anyway, is it still alive? Geno

Yes,it's now called "Is the .223AI enough gun." Look for it in the Miscellaneous forum.
The previous .223AI thread was stopped and the new one is the above mentioned.

You ever get to meet old Fred Wells ?
GTC Did you know Fred Wells,Greg? Spent about 90 minutes touring his "shop" in the mid '90s,...an INCREDIBLE warren of interconnected old adobe and stone buildings, right in downtown Prescott, walking distance from Paul Marquart's home and shop, which I was also lucky enough to do some hanging out in. Freds shop ? You literally had to duck through holes in the walls, and in places you would have thought you were in a mine. Met Fred, and his lovely wife Rachel, who was doing several different engraving jobs. A PPK with a very discrete, tiny sitting nude babe on it's slide stands out, in particular. Fred had COPD,... the entire place plumbed for Oxygen, and just plugged and unplugged himself into the system as he made his way through his obviously still very busy and productive days. I remember him being quite a humorous and droll character, as opposed to Paul's very quiet, almost preacher like personality. IIRC,...Danny Pederson was running a rifling machine there, one of the first he built, I think. The icing on this delicious cake was (of course) handling those incredible Magnum Mausers he was carving, in various stages of completion, and as well, some veteran ones that were racked in the cluttered "Office / Showroom". Damn,...that's 20 years ago, now. GTC
