Welcome to the forum. Great story. I wish I had a "Man Cave"......... but I DO have plenty of Cuban Legacys. I just got them and have yet to dig in. Your story is makin my mouth water with anticipation. I'll have to fire one up tonight.
Right now I'm working on developing a breed of cattle that can tolerate common fescue. It's a pretty cool process that, if it pays off...would really pay off...literally. And don't worry, I just roofed my deck so I can have a permanent place to smoke, rain or shine. I make plenty of time for the important things.

I wish we had a roofed deck around here for smoking. Lately it's been rainy and snowing. Twice now I've had to smoke cigars under the cover of an IDF bunker to get out of the rain. It's not so bad I guess...I'm still able to smoke cigars. I didn't know cattle couldn't tolerate fescue. That's interesting.
Cattle can tolerate it mostly, but fescue has a fungus that grows in the stem that produces a toxin that cuts production by up to 85%. That's in birth rates and all growth traits too. The problem is that if you get rid of the fungus, the grasses die for some reason. They work well together, so infected fescue is pretty much all that grows. If the cattle could tolerate the toxin, then fescue would be the best thing for them to graze, cause it's an awesome forage. (sorry for nerding out there...)

Holy hell that's impressive. We need a bit more nerd round these parts. I feel I contribute a small portion of the potential nerd that this place needs. Course, my nerd spans in a different direction, but nerd never the less. I wish I could say my nerd powers could change the world, you should be proud. That's awesome!!

Speaking of nerds we have a guy that is running for Governor. In his commercial he says it's time that Michigan is run by a nerd! He calls himself a nerd and is proud of it. I will see if I can find it & post it later. Pretty funny stuff.
