Congrats on the up-coming dirt day Randy! Your name is especially easy for me to remember, it's my middle name ;)
 
The gals are ready to rock! I wish I had your mild summers here. 2-4 weeks from now it's going to inside by 11AM weather here.
 
Can't wait to see your beauties hit it!

Plants look great Randy!
 
I'm guessing that cold weather skirted around you?
 
And yes, major score on the corned beef briskets! That will be some good eating ;)

Yes, Scott, that line started on the east side of Iowa and headed East.I love the price of corned beef since brisket is over 4$ a pound.

Plants are looking superb Randy and like others have said soon be loaded up in pods.
Smoking any food is another level and adds superb flavour.
Great update.

Everything's looking just stellar Randy! I especially like the look of that Canario plant. Have you grown it before?
 
Never heard of anybody smoking corned beef before, but why the #@*& not! Drive on bro. :cool:

If you smoke corned beef you will never cook it any other way.Just add cracked black pepper and thats it.Never grown pubes before any advice would be welome
