This delay is unusual. I hope @dave and family are okay. Secondarily, I hope he's not having website glitches (again?).
Meanwhile, I discovered that one of the vendors, GrowJoy, is having a 50% off sale to include perennials, including several awesome varieties of my favorites - hardy hibiscus. I couldn't resist - I just ordered 8 plants (5 hibiscus). Whistling

I was wondering if maybe we wore you out Dave. There is only one of you and your amazing family, take care of yourselves. What would we do without you. Group hug

Well that was the least exciting or interesting or just plain 'cool, man' answer that I can think of. Ranks right in there with 'the dog ate my homework'.

Here you had us all a little concerned about whether there was some emergency or whatever. And say what? You forgot? Really? You forgot? At least you could have made up some awe inspiring tale.

But I'm glad all is well.

Yeah we took a couple days and went down to the beach earlier this week. That threw off all our schedules and timings. I knew the raffle was coming to a close but the time came and went and it never clicked in my head to go close the raffle and do the drawing. Kinda funny, that's never happened to me before. Oh well. Video will be posted in a couple minutes!
