Big day ferdelance. Armstrong picks up 2 minutes plus over the leading contenders. Moves up to second place, 5:24 behind. Is tomorrow the day? Panic in Paradise, or watch out casino, the kid wants a new pair o' dice. I've been pumping a lot of water for the orchard, since I'm not sure it will get watered while I'm gone. Decided to check whether plums would be ready to take to Mom's. Uh oh. I'm not paying attention. What a hellacious set on the plums. They were packed as tight as grapes. I would have lost branches big time while I was away. I've been thinning like crazy, until I can't hold my arms up. About 90% of the Satsumas ( a plum, not our lady's college test scores) are now sitting on the ground. I've still got more to go. Damn; just got a visual reminder from my day pack; I'd better think about packing, too. Oh, and I work tomorrow night. Oh, and clean the house, kid.It will be nice to let Fuzzerella drive Sun morning. WR@thintodayplum_p2Maui.com
