Disciplined yes, patient no.<br /><br />How's your melonseed coming along? dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-23939202386711434722015-04-09T20:22:14.227-07:002015-04-09T20:22:14.227-07:00Stewbal's rejuvenation looks stunning.
