April has been our worst month in a number of years.  We also had two 
extended downtimes, which didn't help.

Thanks for the report, arbua.  It is better to have bad news than no news.
If there is not a clearer sign than this, I don't know what it is.
A good concept is turning into a hobby system, soon to fade.  :-(

Don't read too much into this month's numbers.  Like I said, April has often
been a bad month for Grex.

No doubt T.S. Eliot had it correct in "The Waste Land":

( APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding         
  Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing    
  Memory and desire, stirring    
  Dull roots with spring rain.            )

Indeed.

re #3
I put Dolemite on my lilac's roots in March and we're seeing the result.

If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?

#8 of 14 by marcvh on Tue May 3 23:01:40 2005:

Allergies and yellow jackets.

Mayflowers bring Pilgrims, lets just hope they buy memberships after they're
granted visiting worker visas by Dubya.

#10 of 14 by tod on Wed May 4 16:14:19 2005:

What is a visiting worker visa? H1B?

#11 of 14 by nharmon on Wed May 4 18:22:46 2005:

I don't know, but what I meant to say was MIGRANT worker visas...
