....when you pay close scrupulously close attention to the rules for entering syrup for a fair, turn up and enter it...then watch someone waltz in with an entry that violates at least three rules for entering at that particular fair. And you want to yell at them for not paying attention to the rules of entry, but you don't. *SIGH*

Hi Bruce, mine is the mauve-y one, model # H1759. Seems to work fine :-) Certainly didn't want to fork out $300+ for every other model they seemed to have!Screen Shot 2019-10-03 at 8.38.01 AM.jpg Oh when would be a good time for me to come and visit?
