morning giggy.
rose and mrcane ya'll got some great outdoor girls there.
keef, i simply dont have the time to make beer. i barely have time for the grow after a 9 or 10 hr shift.
well ofc, i have a good story from this weekend.
I heard my beagle and pitbull barking saturday so i looked out the window and saw a group of about a dozen 15-18 year old thugs standing in the street yelling at my dogs, bowing up and acting like they was trying to hit them. in general just acting likle a bunch of fools out to start problems. when one started throwing rocks at them, i came out of the house and leaned down to pick up my aluminum pipe i keep by the door. i called out "ya'll got a problem?" they all blanked out for a few seconds, so i asked why they was throwing and provoking my dogs, the whole time i am walking towards them, still in my yard. all of a sudden every last one of them turned tail and started running. and i mean RUNNING!!!!! i turned and saw my Great Dane running to the fence at full speed. now this dog can cover 30 yards in a handful of strides when at full speed. it was the funniest thing i have seen in a while. those hardcore wanna be thugs turned tail and ran like a bunch of schoolhouse babies. lol....

well, i am trying to talk myself out of moving out of state in a few years. i know i need to stay near home, my folks are getting old and i will need to be there to hold them up in their final years. but i won't lie, the highway is calling my name. i like the bread basket region. far north is out of the question, i dont do sub freezing temps. lol
with the creds i am earning at work, i could go to any ford dealer in the nation and have a good paying job before i even move. heck, they will even pay you to move.

 

[Kraven]

YD, I was born and raised in a small town.....50 years later I, after fighting 2 wars and seeing the majority of the world, have found that I really really like being home.... nothing is ever like home. I will tell you this, follow your wander lust, life is short and I have friends who have never been more than a 100 miles from where they were born. They have never experienced new cultures and ate really good foods....they simply missed out imho.......If you can travel and it fits your life then I say do it, but there will come a time in the next 20 or so years and you will be ready to come back to the old home fires.....it's hard to get that clay from between your toes man. Either way I wish you luck and hope we never loose contact, I like you dog.

Kraven, i am not going anywhere now. maybe in a few years. i do want to move out in the woods, i am not made for a city life. i am 20 miles from the town i was born and raised in and i am fine with that. i know this area well.
when my parents live their lives out, i will strongly consider moving. but i feel its my obligation to help them through the hard years ahead. my dad wants to die at home, and one day when his time comes i can make sure he lives where he wishes. i really love the south, but when my folks are gone there will be nothing holding me down to central Ga. maybe i will find a square of land down south near the gulf side. i want land, and a fence. i value my privacy and property more than most other things in life

Morning O.F.C. !-- I'm up and got a nice wake and bake working! --
Dog --Like Kraven said it would be good to travel some and see other places and cultures !-- I left home for the army at 18. -- When I returned things were different --I was different! -- I tried to returned and settle in my home town but fate had other plans !--- My daughter and grand babies are still in New Orleans but I told her just remember that I'm no further away than the nearest airport ! -- I saw a bit of the world too !-- Missed my plane once and had to spend a whole week in Hawaii !--- Dam !--
Things get confusing sometimes though !-- I left Korea and arrived in the states 4 hours before I left Korea !--Dam Army is the ones that taught me about smuggling and stuff !-- I could make more supplying a couple dealers on the weekend than I could busting my a** all week at work !

keef, i want to get out to the bread basket, i would like to see the desert region as well. gulf states coast.
my carbon filter is working well. it has given my fan a touch more noise outside the cabinet, probably from pulling more vacuum through the filter. i should be taking a bpu down any day, just waiting on trics. the potluck is fixing to hit ten weeks and it just started swelling yesterday, so i am guessng another 1015 days for that. i am ready to try it out. i have a sativa that is almost done drying, time to start thew cure in a few more days. i dont do the picture thing much, now i have to hook my phone up to the computer and download them and then load online. too much work. lol

Morning OFC. Off to work. That sounds funny after of more than a year off. I have had an opportunity to travel and I did it before I was too old to enjoy it. But coming home was always on my mind. Now, it is unlikely I will ever move back to NJ. I may visit, but living there with the draconian laws is not possible after tasting freedom.

 

[WeedHopper]

Hello my friends,,,hope yall have a wonderful day. Rose your yard looks awesome.

 

[Keef]

Morning Hopper !
Dog U want to see the Gulf Coast ? --I know this guy lives at the beach !-- U ever head this way let me know and I'll show U around !--- I've been considering heading back to the Redneck Rivera if Florida changes the law but I don't know !-- Sometimes I just perfer the devil I know over the devil I don't know ! --If that makes any sense !

 

[Keef]

Umbra I know U traveled cause U didn't delete ALL the pics !-- Ya'll if U look at pics from certain cup competions there he is !--

Good morning everyone. I can help with brewing beer a little. I was fortunate enough to belong to a home brewing club back in NJ. There were a number professional brewers in the club and a couple chose to help me. 1 of my BIL was the director of QA for an American beer co that was sold to a Belgian co. I was able to get a couple tricks from him. 1st competition I entered I won. I started by doing an extract kit. I did 2 kits then went to a mini mash for maybe 3 brews and then right to full grain. So far my best beers are; chocolate cherry stout, 60 IBU @ 10.5% ABV; rye IPA, 75 IBU @ 6.5% ABV; and an ESB, 25 IBU @ 7% ABV.

Of course! I expected no less from you Umbra! Good morning & goodnight OFC! Just finished two 12 hour night shifts in a wonderful home with a really good baby; I'm hoping the work is stable & that the pay isn't too bad!

 

[Keef]

I understand about clones from the same mom grown in different conditions can be different !-- I'm talking about 2 clones from the same mom ---treated with a mutagenic agent --rooted and growing side by side !-
They different !-- Not sure what's happening on the cellular level but I am changing these cuts !-- I have maybe 3 dozen treated clones from 3 different attempts that are still rooting !-- Be some more soon !

 

[DirtyDiana]

Meanwhile at the beach.....

Goodmorning all,

Umbra, good luck today. I am glad you chose to live in Cali, I bet it is bittersweet to think about home. It would be very hard to go back to no cannabis freedom. I hope you like your job... yay!

DD, how is your sister doing? How are you doing? Glad it is a good baby. They are lucky to have you.

Good morning Keef. Budlight, how you doing?

[Kraven]

Morning all, busy day of sick cats and running to the vet for post surgical care....Ossie is dazed and confused and I'm tired, sick kitties make me worry. Both are doing ok now, sick kitty got ABX shot and post surgical got his stuff done and is now waking up some.....he is a weee bit irritable about the whole shot to put him to sleep lightly while the vet did careful work....and it makes bitten much less likely.

 

[Rosebud]

Poor kitty.
