@bigsur51 Morning
Question I agree about watering in tray under plants myself and I use a shop vac when too much has been added. What do you do if you have to much left sitting in pan?
Do you leave it and allow plant to absorb as needed , I tried that indoors and the water in pan went green in a day or two. I then used shopvac to remove almost all except a little bit 10% runoff maybe.
What say Ye

morning

like you , I vacuum the excess water out unless it’s just a little.....once the roots get down near the bottom , sometimes it is beneficial to leave some water in the tray and the plants wick it up

i finally went to raised 4 x 8 trays that were slanted so any excess water would run off into a 5 gallon bucket

i took the runoff water and poured it on my outdoor plants

ymmv

The broomhandles were sweet, but I'd rather have a Luger carbine. Passed up a chance to buy a original version, dished toggles, and all matching numbers around forty years or so ago for just shy of two grand. I think if you could find one today, it'd be closer to fifteen.

My dad had 3 lugers in his bag coming home. Navy boys stole them. Stole his watch too. He did get that back. Beat the living crap out of him, took the watch off of him opened the back to show everyone his name engraved, then proceeded to pound the stuffing out of him, picked him up and stuffed him in an ash can butt first and stuck him in there! Lugers were long gone.

BTW, my old man could deliver an arse whipp'in like no other. While I've always said, no matter how bad you think you are, there is usually 1 or more in a crowd who can set your clock......I Never had occaision to meet that man when it came to dear old Dad! Wish I had half of his 8 inch punch.

Sounds more like an expanding bullet which a civilian cop might use, than ball ammo. Most civilian cops had 38 Special revolvers back then, which could have done that at relatively close range with an expanding bullet, especially if it turned his shoulder blade into shrapnel.



I visited the military graveyard there in Tunis, Tunisia, which was close packed and huge. Lots of lives laid down in Tunisia, including at Carthage. Sure pretty along the coast, but mostly brown inland. Some interesting ruins.

Most of the police ammo for .38 was "law enforcement" or "+P" ammo. Quite a bit hotter. I've heard tales of .38 being hand loaded with wad cutters, but put in backwards. Front end nice and flat to cut clean target holes in paper. Other side is a huge hollow...loaded hot and at close range they can make messy wound channels.

Some Law enforcement do or did use .45, typically a lighter bullet than 230 grain, I believe 180 grain hollowpoints. They traveled much faster than the 230 grain average of 800 fps or so, topping 1000 fps if +p. That bullet might do that sort of damage.

Who's really in charge out in the middle of a jungle with no witnesses in the middle of no where?
Best leader is the one whose men love him....and of course protect him. PBS shows a good documentary called "Charlie Company" which is enlightening on this point.

Our political leadership at that time bears full responsibility for the wreckage of the Grunt forces.

Buses for ossifers had cyclone fence wire over the windows to prevent grenades from coming in.

There were UNILATERAL cease-fire days (that means only our side didn't shoot).

The VC/NVA were regularly updated as to SOG insertions by these leaders.

The leadership was beautifully reprised by the rotten Rotc "officer" in Animal House. While John "Bluto" Belushi went on to be Governor of Maryland, the ROTC punk got fragged by his own men in Viet Nam. <-- And it got a laugh.

Howdy old farts. Got a date night with the wife but not sure we are going anywhere or not. I had a coworker who's son tested positive last week so he has been off. Now the couple that we go out with the wife tested positive this morning. Thinking about tacos or steak and shrimp on the grill. If we do that then I have to play bartender. Hope everybody had a great day and a even better evening.
