I know this is an international chat line with lots of great koi kichi's from around the world but if you'll indulge me here......Happy 4th everyone!

Happy 4th to you, Dick! I'm off until Monday. Some personal things to attend and a lot of weeding to do.

BTW, Henry has been getting me organized this week. Plane and motel reservations are set for the NKF harvest. Arrive on Friday, leave on Sunday. ...When do we get to see those Ochiba of yours? Must be somebody who'll post some shots.

In my beer fridge... where else??? Extra Dark Lager thank you very much I'd invite you over, but it is about a 25 hr drive.

On a more serious note, Happy 4rth everyone, and whatever you do, please don't forget the price that's been paid to preserve our celebration of this day and all that it means
