I haven't seen Jock Scot posting or logging in for a while now. I looked over at the Scots Forum yesterday, though I'm not a member, and he doesn't seem to be posting over there, either.

Hope everything's OK with Jock.

I have a few more sour orange sticks to cut, but I'm going to hold off on cutting the mesquite. I should be able to tie a mesquite branch in a crook. They can be a little scratchy to work with, like a rose bush.
