Thanks Hackerman, this appears to be a well thought out unit. Most of them look quite cumbersom, to me anyway.
Mine will be a simple, no bells or whistles manual 10 ton press.
Im getting closer, here are the raw materials before a couple days of machine work and some welding transforms this pile of material into the press. Hoping to make time for this pretty soon, got that one auto comeing due in a couple weeks.
Our summer season is always frantic and this years no different. The gardens in full swimg and we're happy with the results.
Its been over 25 years since we've gardened and never in Alaska and we still have a lot to learn.
With any luck we'll get thru August before the rainy fall starts...
We're still looking for "the one" so multi strain grows will be the norm for a couple more years. Previously i fed everything the same and had no issues and trimmed to even up the canopy.
Today i put 2/3 each Dutch passion Blueberry, Girl Scout cookies, Sour Diesel, Pain killer XL and Bangi...
She's settled out just over my head now and starting to fill out nicely. These pics are 10 days latter than the the last ones. In the morning ill take her a latte.
Over the years ive heard stories about this or that game animal being rank and i know this can be the case. However, everything happens for a reason and many times that reason is quite simple. Most folks never butchered so theres the possibility of problems from poor handling. The weather can be...
Im glad i didnt just come up here with a rifle and an axe, im too lazy, had some health issues over the years, dont like the cold that well and a lot of other stuff.
It took me 20 years of so of half a— trying then i got serious about it and got a job up here. That job was a slope job! I work 2...
Thats great Hackerman, ill keep my politics to my self only to mention that me and Ronald Ragan shared the same birthday and were both left handed!
A forums kindof a strange place to get to know people and unless we know each other in real life, we only get a piece of the picture.
Heck, once i...
Well, were farther and farther from “the intent of the forum” but long as its ok thats good. Man cannot live by weed alone.
I too ran snares / traps in the Dakotas and hunted coons and cats with english red tick hounds.
But that was 200 uears ago, now salt water boatings the thing, cept we only...
Tell your deck hand, shes very beautiful; then apologize to her for putting that picture out there for the world to gawk at.
Today ended the the fishinf part of the Seward adventure for the year, i was fishing by myself this morning and got my limit of 2 fish And they were both white kings...
I dont usually brag this much, but since im on a roll! Today it was 3 kings and a very nice widow rock fish. And if im wearing you out take heart, ill be done tomorrow.
Today i had to work harder at it but did get a limit of 4 which included a couple fatties!
Next year at this time ill be able to enjoy them other fatty’s.
This thread has a large collection of seemingly intelligent types so please tolerate my question.
Having mentioned earlier im kimda new at this, made RSO 4 times now, happy with the results. Now im setting up to press rosin and wondering if any one washes the left overs and distills the...
This morning we got our 4 fish limit of Kings in the first hour! These are what we call feeder kings, there here from somewhere else to fatten up for a couple years before returning to their home stream to spawn and rairly exceed 20 lbs.
Caught this King today and 6 others along with one silver.
Hoping for another dozen or so over the next week!
By the first week of August i consider real summer to be over, anything we get after that is gravy, notice the rainy overcast day? Its suppose to be like that all week. I like to tell...
The next big thing for is will be rosin. Ill build the press in the next couple months so we can give it a try. Hep works on the imune system resulting in some very strong alergys. My wifes had some real positive reactions to the weed and some horrible ones as well before she learned how to...
Wonderful thread, its not cancer for us but Hep-C. Being old hippies, we’re no strangers to weed but that was a long time ago. Having jobs that said no way were an issue for many years as well. Full retirements months away and i can smell the barn so look out. Been growing for a couple seasons...
