Hey Snowtoy... .where you been!!   I have missed your "input".     
Gnarls.

Busy, early long spring+cool summer+early fall has my orchards all screwed up, the plumb and pear trees were both ready for harvest at the same time, when they are usually 6-8 weeks apart.

Nothing but cool air and bugs with a snorkel.

True, but just like the human version, your engine is having to breath through a straw.
