Our soils have long been depleated of minerals, that is why fertilize is used so much.  Besides that, crops are typically picked/harvest early while still green so they have time to get it to store shelves all over the world.
Ever wonder why fruit and veggies you buy have little to no flavor any more ?  That is why the roadside farmer/seller do so well, their stuff is picked much closer to the RIPE stage, and actually has good taste to it.  I grew up playing and then working with my grandfather in the peach, almond and walnut orchards, picking “ripe fruit” from the peach trees.  It was full of flavor and lots of juice, so much that it run down your neck when you would bit into them.  That is some goooood stuff.  You will never find that in a typical store.  I never have and I look for it all of the time.  I love peaches.  They were big, plump and juicy...soft ball size.  They peaches in the stores are usually so small they would not even pass the “cannery” size test, they would be thrown out.

Wow! You guys got me to thinking about my grandmother on my mother's side. She had a small farm and once I was old enough to drive she would get me to take her from the city to the farm when I visited her. She had mango trees, oranges, tangerines, cashews, sugar cane and I cannot remember it all. But picking the fruit fresh from the tree and eating it was amazing. Or cutting some sugar cane, peeling it and then chewing it to get the sugar juice was delicious. And then to top it all off, we would build a fire with bricks around it, put a metal 55 gallon drum lid over the fire on the bricks, roast the cashew nuts and then eat them. Great memories but you actually got me teary eyed thinking about it.

My wife is done with her cataract surgeries and her recovery period and she went back to school this past Monday.

Weather is beginning to moderate a bit, will be getting properly cooler up in the mountains soon.

I hate it that my ridding buddies are all loosing their ability to ride.   I've got a lot "Vested" in you fellers !   Ya'll need to heal up , and be ready to ride around middle Tn. next summer.   I was ridding up near "Cristal Ridge" this afternoon and it dawned on me ... I never took ya'll up there , its only 30 min's from my house.  Its kinda  like an eastern version of the Texas Hill Country (not as big) .

………………………………………………………..

Lancer , that version of the  Skyway ya'll have in Oklahoma was a really cool ride , and your place is more centrally located for gathering , so we need you to get better !  

………………………………………………………..

Justin , I'd like to meet ya at one of our gathering sometime , and you too   engineer .

Old Indian turned out to be a really nice feller and I hope his wife didn't give to hard of a time for going "Out Ridding w/the Boys", I hope to see him again next summer sometime too.

Heck ! Sometimes I even feel like those 800 mile days are all behind me now !
