Bandit on a Space Safari and I'm Hunting Unicorns

[Zen_seeker]

When I was a child I had a fever and my hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again I can't explain.

One of my favourite.

One of my favourite.

so much incredible music made just before i was born... probably the reason i was born to begin with!!! haha my mom doesn't speak of it much but she was a very spirited young girl!!!!

Bandit you make me so jelly with your co2 count!!!! i guess living in the city does have a perk... my furnace has been running in the mornings but still nowhere even close to that... i can't even reach 700... i haven't turned my lights past 70% because i'm already over 1k μmol/s . on the flip side it's kind of nice to have that as my current bottleneck versus other environment issues. it's been so cool having the 69pro controller to monitor and control my vpd better than i ever have before.

so can continue the ex-hermie outside?(because of weather/nosy neighbors/light timings or something else i never even thought of) or will you bring her back inside after quarantine?

.

that truck looks awesome, looks big.. is that your first truck series to your collection? i didn't get to see many truck races this season but that was one of them!

.
so how does the new purpl gear work, you can reuse that special cap but the dishes are one off?
shame on them for advertising like that... like the purple bubble wrap wasn't unique enough for them??? shame shame know their name!!!

way to find em cheaper from the source.. so do i understand correctly, it cost you about $3 a test + maybe shipping for 100pcs? or do i remember you paying more cause it was only a ten pack? just curios man, not trying to set you for bizz hahaha!!!

you try one out yet?

A little side project I've been working on is curating a Pink Floyd playlist. Something from nearly every album if not the whole album and right now I think it's at around 8-10 hours of music.
The Comfortably Numb part is one of my faves and very long.
Starts off with the demo "The Doctor" version of CN, then slips into the studio recording and finally a live and extended set from the '80-'81 Is There Anybody Out There Tour. It all fades into each other like it was meant to be. Like 15-20 minutes of CN. I melt like chocolate when I'm high and listening to that.

Love that old music!
I've recently found myself rediscovering Lynyard Skynyard.
Like we all know the music and what not. Most can probably sing some word for word having never owned an album.
But what got me was a documentary on prime right now called Freebird which was made back in 1996.
I was four when the plane crashed and I know there's the remade version of the band but what grabbed me was the force in which they were when they were on a stage playing live. Just never paid much mind to it and now I'm all blown away by it. So yeah man...51 years old and I finally bought my first LS album and I made sure to buy a live album.

The 71 truck is my 3rd truck diecast and they're all 1:24

Also have Zane Smith's COTA win with fire damage after the burnout



And Stewart Freisan's Texas win truck. I have this mostly for reference to the sheet metal of his hanging on the walls at work. I have the front part of the rear driver side quarter panel but I lost the auction on the back part and ended up with Jessica Friesan's rear quarter panel to match the wheel well over a sink at work



You can see why the bidding got a little nuts on that rear part. A moonshine sponsor in a NASCAR series is just so on brand



I tell ya man this Purpl thing is an adventure. It's all so cagey right now.
I won't know everything until I cross over into the extract portal but before I do that and activate my one week free trial, I want everything in order. All samples ready to test and everything ready to go on that end. Nothing I have now is worthy of crossing over right now. There's still hash to make, distillate, and rosin and I want it to come from the best I have to offer.
I've smoked or squished the best in house so what's in the stash is just B grade and I'm not gonna waste dishes or free trial time on that.

The dishes don't seem at all very special or proprietary to me other than they're lab grade and were made and sterilized in a clean room so that's why they cost so much.
I bought the ten pack + plate for $75. The plate is used over and over but IDK about the dishes. I can see for lab test sakes use one and done but I'm damn sure gonna see if I can drop a used dish in the sonic iso bath and reuse them



It was pretty ez finding these just searching by the dimensions with key word glass bottom

29 mm Glass bottom dish with 20 mm micro-well #0 cover glass | Cellvis

<p>29 mm glass bottom dish, dish size 29mm, well size 20mm, #0 glass(0.085-0.115mm). Designed for high resolution imaging such as confocal microscopy.</p>

Some info about it:
To measure potency, the Purpl PRO utilizes near-infrared spectroscopy, which involves shining light on a sample and analyzing the light that is returned. In this part of the light spectrum (just beyond the red light human eyes can see), molecules react to specific regions of the light to generate a “molecular fingerprint” that can be correlated with concentration. In its development, the Purpl PRO was calibrated against HPLC measurements from multiple state-certified testing laboratories.

So I think how these dishes will work is the sample goes in the dish. The dish locks onto the Xplate. The kit goes into the bench to scan and I get back a potency reading on the app.
I need to charge the device and link up to it then I'll take some screenshots of the new app and the extract portal

Sorry I spaced out and forgot to reply to this part...
My CO2 swings from 450 to 1600.
Ambient outdoors is usually around that low 450 mark. 10 years ago it was only around 300. Climate change is real!
Indoors...my home is small, open floor plan, natural gas appliances, hot water heater closet is near the kitchen and there's a vent in the HWH closet door, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 humans, and 1600 sq ft.
Between the house layout, Co2 gens living inside it, and other factors like the power of the new ACI inline exhaust, I can create negative pressure in the grow room.
When that happens, my room is doing an air exchange pulling air from the back and front open doors of the home, thru the house, into the grow room, and out the exhaust. When that happens, most of that air being pulled thru is laden with CO2 and washes over the plants on it's way out the exhaust.
It's rare I get to run my room like this but when I can it's like Tetris and all the blocks are falling into place.

The hermie will stay outside. She's some of the only green out there and I know bugs were quick to jump on. Saw a baby Praying Mantis on her yesterday.
I got a little spot for her and the others. Neighbors on one side in the two home lot are either gone, moved out and the other neighbor over there is a facebook or tiktok addict and doesn't look away from her phone or even know how to say hi. I think she might be a wannabe influencer or something. I've seen her doing awkward staged dance routines on her deck lol. A plant could fall on her and she probably wouldn't know what it was.
And behind me are the apartments. All but one overlooking me is vacant right now. So there's a window to grow outdoors!!
But I wouldn't really call it a grow. The plants out there are lab rats for the most part.
Two will be subjected to pesticide testing and anything that makes it to harvest will give me practice in washing buds.
After that it will be squished, likely right away with no cure or anything special done for what I might get.
Not too worried about frost or cold. We're still high 80s in the day and mid to high 60s at night

I can smell the Bengay in that video

I was thinking about it last night. I never really liked a band enough to get all their albums. A few exceptions like Floyd but mostly I just liked the songs I’d like and didn’t matter who it was. Listening to the radio in the car was actually enjoyable until the 2000’s. Luckily tapes and CD players could be used.

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Supertramp
April wine
Triumph
Boston
Bread
Bob Seger
Kiss
David Bowie
Police
Wham
Journey
Steppenwolf (Only a few)
AC/DC
Van Halen
Def Leppard
Guns & Roses

Just too many to list.

The songs had meaning at the time and now act as place holders for past memories. Places, events and a lot of good loving. (Bad Company comes on you know you gotta get down. ) There’s a reason mix tapes got made!
