Yesterday found a slightly suspicious looking spot near the 505 McCracken stump where I had trimmed off a leaf a few days earlier. Nothing bad, just a slightly wet and possibly starting to get mushy spot. It just made me a little nervous with my past issues with rot, so I took a sharp knife, sliced it down to healthy tissue, cleaned it with peroxide and put a small fan on it. Also did some trimming around the stump, including taking off a later-forming side vine that was twisting and splitting open. Never should have let that one grow in the first place but at least it is gone now. As Barney Fife would say, "Gotta nip it in the bud!"
