Good morning OFC!
Feels like somebody beat me all night. Nobody ever told me why it sux to get old. NOW I know.
Gonna have to sneak a little of Barneys cbd oil on top of the thc oil this morn.
Hedge trimming today. I need a 15yr. Old boy who wants to work on his endurance for high school football.
When I was young I had no better sense than to work on a hay team. We bucked bales all summer to get ready for football.
(Kids are SO stupid!)

 

[Keef]

Morning O.F.C. !-- Ugh !-- Which way is up ?
Umbra -- There is some fine genetics up in here !-- They say it's gonna be like the wild -wild west !-- I am well armed !
Gloman -- When I was young I slung my share of hay bales !-- Not to get in shape but for the money !-- From the field to stacked in the barn -- Twenty -five cents a bale !-- Split 3 ways !-- Truck and trailor load at a time !- I did O.K. !

 

[Keef]

Watching the local morning news !-- We gotta stop using plastic straws cause plastic be polluting da world !-- I ain't falling for it !--They still not ready to consider plastic as a source of raw material for manufacturing !-- Bigass heated Play-Dough factory !-- Mixed plastics and up to 40% filler !
Cross ties -- telephone poles -- If I can do this without any special tools surely they can figure it out from here ?-- bowl --Milk jugs and Mardi Gras beads -cup - waste plastic and yard clippings -

 

[Keef]

While I'm on my soap box bout the way things should be done -- That barrel vault green house like the Gloman built ?-- Need to spray it on the outside with that expanding spray insulation like the use in houses -- Wrap it with some the wire like ya'll use for cages for reinforcement like rebar-- Then spray it with a thick coat of that spray concrete !-- Seems logical to my old stoned as* anyway !
As a fortune teller I can pretty much predict another cup of coffee in my immediate future !-- Could even be a fresh pipe involved ?

 

[thegloman]

Yo Keef
You got paid FAT for your bailing!
We got 2 cents per bale each time we handled it. Field to trailer 2€, trailer to barn 2€.
Crew of 4 made 50-60 bucks a day each. Pretty good money in a day for a kid. Dark to dark

Here's where all the love and care pays off.
2qts. of GT x BOC X BBSL.
As good as this is it will last me 4 times as long as my old stuff.
Thanks Y'all!

 

[thegloman]

I don't recall who it was who suggested using the tubs to "sweat" the buds in before jarring them up but THANKS!
I did that. Hang to pre dry 3 days then in the tub for 8 days. Almost All the fresh cut smell is gone and the terps are comming thru strong. Now a few weeks in the jar if all goes right. Me thinks I be on the right path now.

 

[Keef]

That'll work Cuz !-- U got some other stuff to work on too -- Glad to see U happy with the quality !-- A little time in a jar and it's gonna be nice !-- I use my trim to make caps instead of extracting like some !-- I had to cut back on caps for awhile I'll be glad to get back on a couple doses a day regularly !--
When U can U have to make U some them "Moon Rocks" like Umbra make !-- Thumb size prime bud -- Covered with warm Rosen Press hash oil then sprinkled liberally with loose hash powder (keif) -- So they not too sticky !-- Read something somewhere about some kind of " $1,000 cannabis cigar " -- Or something like that ?-- Stuff like that?-- Keef need to know how to make !--

Good morning OFC. Keef, someone makes what you are talking about. They use them as field hospitals and emergency shelters. Because the outside fabric, is impregnated with concrete after erected you spray it with a hose and it sets up. Might even work under ground.

Good morning OFC. In my younger days, I hang out on a farm, I did some haying myself. Got to get out to do yard work before it get to hot. Have a great day OFC.

 

[Keef]

Hey Ness !
Umbra my thought was -- Make the farm look like the rolling hills where it be!-- Pretty much invisible from the air ?- Just another grass covered hill ?-- Can't be burying shipping containers ! --5 years they be collapsing !-- So just use barrel vaults and make my own rolling hills !-- Maybe some windmills and solar panels to help with power ?
Probably start with a 3 bedroom house -- bloom in one bedroom -- Veg in another and still have one to sleep in !
Later expand into a barn/ shop or other structure !-- A dream is a good thing to have !-- It's what keeps U going sometimes !

 

[Rosebud]

Good morning all,
I drove the hay truck, lol, i sure did, i could barely reach the pedals but I only lost a small load once. I quickly learned to let that clutch out slowly. I have no idea how old i was. I know i stood up in the truck and drove. Haying was fun, we stacked the hay at night and there were lights strung all over the place and our little farm looked magical. Big ole guys working hard, mom making food for them. good memories, thanks guys.

 

[Keef]

3 of us -- We idle it up point the truck ( automatic transmission ) down between 2 rows of bales -- One stacking-- one on each side feeding him bales -- Hit the end of the field turn the truck around and finish loading -- Depending on field size and how far to the barn we could do OK !-- Started we got paid 15 cents a bale but it was up to a quarter by the time I quit and got a job working steel !
Never was fun to me !

 

[thegloman]

No doubt putting up hay is Hard work.
lol When we're young tho we don't know any better and it really did feel good to be one of the "preferred" crews.
We worked for as many local farmers as we could. One farm this week another next. That was back in the day of 90lb. square bales.

 

[Rosebud]

yea, dad's bales were hundred pounds. Bud bout died trying to pick one up when he first went to our little farm. LOL, dad was not impressed.

 

[Keef]

I know da bales G !-- Pasture Party ?-- Surviving some of them was a miracle in it's self !

 

[2RedEyes]

Hauling hay was my summer job as well...We did it at night though...A big light attached to a pole on the cab of the truck...

Good morning OFC!

I never bucked any hay unless it was to feed my Sister's horse.

I lived in the country as a teen but worked my jobs as a teen in the nearest town 20 miles away. I used to catch a ride into town at 5am to work as a janitor once in a fast food place and then walk a couple miles to High School. I was 16. I made bank I thought. I will never forget that I made $3.33 a day for just a few hours work! ha ha I saved up for my first car a 1963 Mercury Comet, white with red interior. I had engine problems right of and with a lot of help from friends and high school shop we rebuilt the engine. lol

Time for more coffee and another hit.

Have a great day!

RE --I'm down with a wake and bake refresher !--I been checking around some the sites about the coming end of prohibition in Texas -- Mane U can cut the tension with a knife !-- Something about to happen !- What we gonna do ?- What's the plan ?-- How U prepare for that ?-- Can't get started early cause weed against the law ?-- What about that Homeboy with that O.F.C. group ?-- He ain't waiting !
Got to suck to know how far ahead of them I'm gonna be ?-

[Rosebud]

I bet you were styling Burnin, in that car!

 

[St_Nick]

Morning troops! I'm glad the bin thing is working out for ya Glo, Makes my bud awesome but I aways let it hang 'till its pretty dry before I sweat it. I put up hay all summer every summer when I was a kid. We had 1100 acres all together so we had the equipment and when I was 14 I hired 3 of my friends and we cut, raked, baled and put it in the barn for 60 cents a bale. I paid my buddies and was high on the hog. Bought a brand new 1971 Roadrunner with 3 years of hay money.
