[Syrupmakers] Is this forum still extant?

[Milton Boyette]

Good morning syrup soppers!
I have used permethrin from DoMyOwn.com for all types of bugs including
fruit trees. Still kicking (sometimes) @ 78.75.
My youngest older brother-Don Boyette- was my sugarcane specialist. He
passed away this May 28. Praise the Lord! Still planning on cooking in a
few days.
