More Working Space

The Z shop has a new 25 x 25 foot concrete pad. This will soon house the car lift. That should reallly be a fun thing since the Z boys have aged dramatically and crawling under cars is tough.

It is cold again with AM temps in the low 30's. It just takes away my enthusiam for getting things done. Can't move with all the clothing on. Grrrrrrrrr.

I met today with the University cultivar release man. We had a good discussion and tour of my greenhouses. It looks like we will make some changes in how contracts affecting the release of future cutivars is handled. All for the better I think. These decisions will be very important and must be given careful consideration as to their affect on royalty collection.

Got to self pollinate my second Pothos inflorescense today. Also checked the pollen and it is binucleate. Maybe using the 1-week-old pollen from the refrigerator will work. Here is to hopes of another breakthrough. Also cut and propagated some of the pothos mutants we have been caring for. The future looks bright here.

Still coughing a little from the virus. Overall feel pretty good though. Nothing beats good health - especially when the temperatures warm up.

Surf fishing is out of the question for now. Too much to do for the next 2 months. Fun stuff though.
