How can a Florida guy be so far off?

Tom · December 18, 2008, 10:57:41 PM

I'm a Florida Guy and I know what it is. ;D

If you got on the right list, you'd have the answer in just a few guesses.

Gary_C · December 18, 2008, 11:00:52 PM

Well at least I could know the answer IF:

Jeff · December 19, 2008, 09:04:13 AM

I'm thinking no more clues are needed. Other then this is a clue. In fact, I probably should say more, but, Hey, I'm tired from shoveling snow so I'll letcha work with whatcha got for now.

One of ya is done working...

Tom_in_Mo. · December 19, 2008, 09:32:53 AM

about as close as I have come is a resin growth on a cedar tree

An extra seed to your money trees.

woodsteach · December 19, 2008, 12:51:20 PM

Dried up petrifried orange peel!

Jeff · December 19, 2008, 12:58:53 PM

We have a winner! I didn't even have to resort to more clues. LeeB was correct with his guess of a Kumquat.

I picked that fresh Kumquat to try 2 years ago this last February, the day before I left for home after visiting Tom. I took it out of my Suitcase and placed it by my computer, and some how, it never rotted, it just shriveled up and became completely dehydrated. I have lots of little mementos around my desk so things are easily over looked for long periods. When I clean up, I just scoop it all to one side, dust, then scoop it to the other side. :D

I've been debating on whether to drop it in a glass of water to see what it will do. ;D

Anyhow, LeeB, send my your address and now its time for contest #6.

isawlogs · December 19, 2008, 04:30:48 PM

Lee got it .... :-\ I had my toast in the oven keepin'warm and was sitting by the table just awaiting for the jelly .... digin1

Man , some have all the luck !!! :D

Mooseherder · December 19, 2008, 04:45:51 PM

DanG, No wonder I didn't get it. :D
I ain't never heard tell of having seen a Quat tree down here.
Tom, Do we have Kumquats in South Florida? ???

LeeB · December 20, 2008, 01:27:39 AM

Come on down and get some Marcel. I'll even provide the toast. I don't know about having all the luck. I can't recall ever having won a contest in my life.
