Here we are.....:)
We've just been to busy to do much of anything. I never would have
thought maintaining 10 acres with two horses, barn, shop etc could take

I will be posting sometime in the near future about a Cryo place we found
here in Arkansas. Interesting place, interesting owner, interesting
process and iinteresting razor blades.......
