24 eggs today. It was a beautiful day with temp. near 70deg. F. Noted one of our J. J. Warrens has a swelling, apparently associated with a puncture on one toe. This is probably what is called bumblefoot Sold one doz. eggs for 70c. I'm finally getting around to making a handle (mockernut hickory) for the pick head I bought last year, The wood has seasoned about 1. 5 yrs. for a 3" billet and is still subject to slight checking in the end at least.
