and say hello to another one of my little friends.....this is Harpo at day 10 this morning and 25.5" circ at 18.5' out on the 1725 Harp. this is not a marx brothers reference, but just a simple "O" i like to throw on names like my buddy Steve-O or Mike-O. she will be called Harpo, the Harpster, the Harp-o-rama, Harpy, Harpditty, or Harpanova and hopefully she will be Harperrific and grow Harptastically to Harpmongous size. lol. this girl grew 4.5" circ since yesterday morning in the high heat and heavy misting so she should be on her way. this picture shows a little more yellow with the shine and to the naked eye she is more creme colored with that slightly dimpley looking textured skin i have seen before that looks like she will take expansion well...at least i hope so. and i had to get this angle picture to show off her crooked nub. believe it or not, this makes me smile and dream of glory even though it may be of concern later on. for those that have seen her mama, you know why the crooked nub and early color has me dreaming big. and she is crossed with the 1209 shenoha that was 20 percent heavy. and pappy on the the 1209 is crossed with the 1725 harp. and they both are on track as pappy is up to 5" circ per day on day 14 and is sitting 44.5" circ. and just about averaged 5" per day the past 4 days. these 2 reverse crosses might have to be crossed next year as (heavy x big) x (big x heavy). didn't i say they got me dreaming?.....just dreams at this point......long ways to go and if this season has taught me anything, look out for the curveball. it has a wicked hook. lol. go whitesox!
