My Dickies vest that I wear as a winter coat had the zipper break on it last year, a year after I bought it.  I finally remembered to email Dickies and complain.  They sent me an email stating if I return it, they will replace it and refund my shipping costs.  They gave me a 1-800 number to call in case I needed to.  I called to see how they wanted me to ship it back and she took down my name and address and they will be shipping me a new one out on Monday.  Now that is customer service!!!
 
Throwing together over a pound of assorted pepper powders for my charity auction.  Going to be getting the auction up and running in forum ads today if you want to check it out.

The MoA plants are dropping the lower leaves that were looking bad and putting out new replacements.  The top new leaves are looking good.  
 
My one Yellow Manzano is looking good so far and never shown any ill signs from its pot up.
 
Modest Update Time.  Not a lot going on, but still progress is being made.  My one yellow Manzano is looking nice and healthy.  The two MoA that I started super early because I wanted to grow something are bouncing back.  They lost their lower leaves, but are sending out replacements.  The OW project is running well also.  Temps still haven't dipped below 60 in the basement yet, and my hope is that they don't dip below 50 this winter.  I really don't want to put heat on them.  The slowest two OW plants so far has been the brain and the chocolate habanero.  I have included a close up of the choc hab.

Temps in the 20s with blowing snow here today.  A month ago I still had peppers out.  Might have to pick the last of my kale soon.  
 
OW are still looking good.  Really hoping this early start pays dividends on the Manzano next year!!  Itching to try this pepper.
 
OW temps are running 58 degrees right now.  I might put up some plastic to enclose the little space more and hold the temps up a bit if the temps start dipping into the low 50s.  Really would like to keep the temp out of the 40s.
 
Nice score from Paul.
 
Been unseasonably cold here the last 5 days. But no 20's thank goodness.
 
Have a great Thanksgiving!
