Good Morning OFC...Just had a splash and dash shower here...plenty more over the next 36 hours maybe. Had cabbage and corn-beef here this week Ms Rose...it is a fav for me. We have our stay at home extended till the 30th...with some slow reopening till then. States are running out of resources...Tax base is so far down that unemployment benefits will run out soon...not to mention public services...no matter how unpopular or popular the decision may be...something has to give soon. Some reports have reversed course (ahh ginn) and claim the Virus does poorly in high humidity , heat and sunshine...we have plenty of those condition's to confirm this....just remember these are the same folks who argued over effectiveness of mask...after using mask for 100 years to slow or prevent spread of pathogens!....Off for a walk and run between the rain drops today...Peace ya'll
 
Good morning yall!
This is the life! Right? lol
I'm worn down. I have a new respect for elder caregivers. While I been doing this a while now, it's not getting any easier.
The writings on the wall and it breaks my heart. A nursing home is in my aunts near future and I feel terrible but I just can't do all she needs any more.
Thank God for weed! That's all that's holding me together right now.
Hope y'all have a great day!

...and still coming down.

It's peaceful, completely silent, just the perfect, if temporary, balm for sad and troubled times we live in.

Good vibes to everyone today, so many of us are really going through it lately here.
 
Morning OFC! I slept about two hours. Mostly silly ramblings until let in the post.Mania sets in at the most inopportune times. Lights out all over the house but I'm ready to tear it up.... Coffee brewed.
Ebola may save us all.
political name may ignite civil war? I think I need a new are courtesy of Rona.
Maybe we end up socialists and like it? They give us 2k a month for everything we need, we be good subjugates we get more rubbles? Not much different than now, least there's be a baseline lol!
Alright opinions over... Weed related here:
Recently I used some roots organics 707 I think soil with Coco. Will Coco lower pH slightly-or maybe stabilize?, oddly hold water at the roots while everything else seems dry and also seem to not do well with holding cal mag? Just wondering if my observations are correct.

Hey. It's hard, but it is the best for their care. It is the best thing you can do. Maybe hold off for a while if you can though.Let's smoke one. I'll pass the tray.
 
Re: coco observations... yeah it messes with calcium. Never seen it lower pH except some nasty brick stuff I got cheap and took forever to soak the salt out of it and the soak water was weirdly acidic. Holding water at roots, can't speak to that as I haven't dissected a root ball that carefully but I did try drip to recirc in coco once -Once only - and was kinda weirded out by the water retention. Now I just mix the stuff with compost and hand water and life is easy.
 
I think the city has been playing with pH. Even after letting it sit 48 hours uncovered it is at 6.4, used to be a flat 7. Maybe Coco is much more stable. The soil around each seedling is bone dry yet the seedling looks happy. I'm worried I will begin over watering. I figured the cal mag was a bit pH but it occured to me I have some Coco now too. I've read about it only. Thanks Stinky!
 
Morning OFC -- I was feeling down in the dumps and thought maybe it would be best just to go dark a few days maybe collect my thoughts and come back with a better attitude !-- Then I checked in here !-- Dam ain't we a ragged bunch ?-- My immediate problems at least can be solved !- Longer I stay here bigger chance I leave the mudhole in a body bag !-- What kind of government we gonna have later don't matter if there's no later !-- My focus is on getting out this mudhole alive with my pups - my seed and some clones -- I understand the dangers of this virus and I know how to protect myself but I can't do it here !-- Besides when I take that Black Dog out I'm have a fight on my hands !--
Time is not on my side !-- I don't feel like I have time to spare !-- Raining in the mudhole this morning -- Having some coffee doing the Wake and Bake and contemplating the day !-- Could somebody explain to me how me got to this place again ?-- I don't like it !-- but Sarge said -- If U find yourself walking thru the valley of the shadow of death -- Keep walking !-- My plan is to get lit up and survive this one more day !-- For now that's all I can do !-- I'm sorry I offend some sometimes -- I got no filter -- If It's on my mind the words come out !-- At least U never have to ask what I think about something I'm pretty much an open book ! -- Stay safe and let's do this day !-- Onward thru the fog !
 
Hey Nov it's pretty normal at this time of year for public water works to be doing seasonal distribution and purification systems maintenance. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if your town water is a little wonky for a couple weeks.

Yup Keef onward through the fog... or as zepplin put it... ramble on!!! There's your song for today! Ramble on to the next chapter.
 
Good Morning OFC, yeah never imagined looking forward to a move into housing for the elderly. But after seeing all these people overtly disobey Governors and medical Experts orders as well as good manners in public. I will be glad to go there. People are gone here, in general. I felt relaxed and safe shopping at the age-segregated time (Walmart). Here I am, in America, an elderly man, feeling safer and more secure, while shopping with the 50 and over crowd with everyone distancing and wearing a mask. A person can understand what I mean.
 
Holy cr4p the coffee is strong today, Bestie left me a pound of Equal Exchange Organic medium/Vienna blend and if you are a coffee snob check this stuff out. It's weirdly not bitter for how strong it is. Don't think I could drink it black though. All I have in the house is heavy cream right now and this is one of the best cuppas I've ever swilled. Omg yumm.

Got some Saturday morning jazz going to put my head right. If y'all haven't heard of Sleep Walker, you gotta check them out, even if you're not certain you like jazz.

Edit: eggs in a skillet sound pretty good right about now, come to think of it :)
 
Keef keep your sore chin held high, we need stubborn brainy old codgers like you both on the forums and in the country as a whole! Reading your posts i feel like im cheering for my favorite sportsball team struggling through a season of injuries and maybe an earthquake took out their home stadium too but still heading to the playoffs baybeeee!
