I may have to end up moving to Tennessee i think :)

Do any of you guys know of any good info (books, videos, articles, whatever) on plum flower post training. I have also heard it called "May flower" post training, but i dont think that is actually...

Yea, i dont mean to get things started up again....so no one needs to reply. I think that i was just getting some stuff off of my chest. Thanks for hearing me out though. It is appreciated.
