Not Bad, Not Bad at all :D Looking at the size of it now it's really going to take off with growth next year, even more so then the great growth you already had this year. Time for a new hut soon :lol:

They sure are fun to watch.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

IT must be makin up fer the really cold wet summer we had last year..... if yours was similar to mine. Canada day (july 1) is usualy one of the warmer days of the year. Last year the high was 9C and low was 5C, while this year, it was 27C. I wish climate change would make up its mind ......

very nice dude :D
