Ferments are damn easy once I stopped putting 20 items in them and went basic.

I got the jitters, Rick, when I came back online and saw you had babies up.6 days of 60-70 degree weather got me caught up.

Looking good, Randy - those starts will explode when
you put 'em in that lucious bed you prepared for them!
 
Good luck to you as the season begins to throttle up.
