Stoney's Luv Shack

Yea I like little I see out there car wise.
I have never purchased a 'New" vehicle.
Not really a Ford or Chevy guy.
I own both and even once owned a Volvo~!
But having a blind allegiance to any manufacturer is foolish IMO.

I usually zone in a model car I like and search and research it for months, maybe years before I find the one I get.
That is how I got my Crossfire and Corvette. Spent a couple years looking around for the Crossfire.
Fun car. Fast little car~!
The vette I got lucky with. Anybody remember something called Covid~!
When others were stuck home I was an essential worker [ never missed 1 day].
Guy was selling pretty cheap and I was already in search mode.:cool:
All my trucks have been Ford except a 2011 Colorado low rider I could not resist~!
That little thing was a blast too~!

i totally agree with not having an allegiance to anybody... some would say i'm married to nissan but it's not true i just happen to have a 92 pathfinder (the one that won 4x4 of the year that year) that lasted me over 25 years. so i bought an xterra, the day i bought it somebody hit and run my pathfinder totaling it!!! this xterra is an 03, garage kept and still in great shape!! i got about 140k on her... i have no idea what i'll get next.. probably look at nissans but nothing in mind at all. my first requirement is stick shift so that narrows things down real freakin quick! haha

sticks a great anti theft device though!!!! that and crank windows... get a car with those two and nobody will ever steal it!!!!

i'm like you in the way that i like a practical vehicle and at least one or two fun ones stashed away!!!

as for the shopping i couldn't be more different, no planning at all. when its time it's time and i'll just search till i find three or four i really like and i pick the favorite one! I know if i like it within five minutes, the rest is just going over the mechanical.

i know one thing for sure, i'm not buying another one of those 3.2 nissans with the sixth spark plug from hell!! i've owned that motor for three decades now and enough is enough!!!!!!! please don't mark my words on that one, i might pull that stupid move if i like the rest of it enough!!!

the very first time i changed one of those i broke the ceramic off and it fell between the hex flat and the counterbore of the head... ahh i'm twitching form the experience still now and that was over thirty years ago!!!!! hahaha

i'll be truck/suv shopping in 2024-2025...

quick update... plants really like the new soil...

005.JPG

008.JPG

the new growth is promising and they're starting to grow again!!!!

007.JPG

you can see the difference better through protective shades... the leaves, the color, the stems.. all doing better!!!

009.JPG

does anyone else use protective eyewear in the their grow?

Bandit sent me this pair a long time ago and i wear them religiously. they make them for all kinds of lighting.. mine are for the blurple..

010.JPG

here is a shot with and without, just holding the glasses up to the camera.....

011.JPG012.JPG

so PSA announcement, protect your eyes!!!! get a pair for the new year!!!!!!!!!!

🙃🙂🙃
 
Those glasses make a huge difference~!
Stonington is great soil~!
I think it is heavy and holds water longer than most other soils which is why I mix it with others. Good stuff~!
I am also of the understanding it is one of the hottest. :cool:

Your plants look happy you up potted them.

you don't realize just how bright your lights are till you wear a pair of shades!! they make them for hps and led..

the sticky icky and Max A/C were both germinated in stonington from the beginning, after two weeks and they still looked good i transplanted all my plants in stonington and been using it ever since. i'm pretty sure thats why i burned them when i tried that veg nute out at 100% strength...

but i'm just gonna buy only stonington anymore and not mess with starters at all. one bag all the way through just makes it easier. not sure it's better, but easier!!!

All i have to say is Subaru....
I know the 6th spark plug from hell too.
Subarus only have 4 plugs, but all of them are from the very deepest depths of hell. I swear, some satanic little dwarf asshole designed the boxer motor...

i've heard some real horror stories on tune ups!!! guys having to loosen motor mounts and jacking engines up and everything!!! that particular one took me three days... well a half a day went to finding the ratchet that i got pissed off at and threw in the woods!!! i needed the stupid thing to finish the job!! hahaha

even had to take the hood off to get in there... at the end of the day though i fixed it with a BFH so that was rewarding in it's own way!!!
 
that one is my new favorite right there!!! ^^^
a real rolls canardly, rolls down one hill can hardly get up the next!! ba dum dum!!

sorry on the fords... i've been hanging around my chevy buddy too much lately!! personally, i feel ALL new vehicles are shit!!! i don't know what i'm going to do when it's time to replace our vehicles, i don't like anything out there at all!!! i'm going to end up settling for something. my woman doesn't care what she drives as long as it's reliable, i wish i could be that way. exterior i'm kinda that way, almost any style most colors. but i am so picky on my interiors.. it's what i have to look at most of the time so i'm picky!! the first thing i look for is where can i put more speakers!!! haha

☠️
Go old school solid steel ! Just about anything before 1976 will work ! Lol

Tool bags will forever be my favorite insult.

The combo of "Tool" and "Douche Bag" is always a crowd pleaser and highly effective when conveying a certain level of distaste for another 😋

I've had two Nissans. A tough little SOB of a Frontier that towed an oversized bass boat from Northern California to Texas and lived to tell about and a Pathfinder I drove across the country 3x and used it as a daily driver before trading it in.

I like Ford over most American makes and if I ever get a muscle car it will be a Mustang. I was on a buy American made tilt for a long time until I owned a fucking Chrysler. Biggest POS ever. Had so many issues even the mechanics could never figure it. Fucking thing was possessed or infested with gremlins. Not sure which.

I love my truck today. When I bought it, it was between this, a 2018 Tacoma or a 2022 Ford Maverick. The Mav was a pardon my French, a pussy truck. I owned that Ford Fusion plug in hybrid and the Mav was basically that car with a truck body and cheap plastic interior.

Meanwhile the Tacoma was lifted and blacked out and yep had that access cab for a big ass subwoofer box and I built a platform for my dogs to ride in it too. I'd buy this truck 10x over again if I could.

It has a certain level of evil to it with the aftermarket headlights I put in and the body armor all around.
In the city you need a truck like this to make all these fuckers back off. Nobody cuts me off or tailgates me anymore like they did when I had that Fusion. I don't bully with it either. It just does the talking for me with the way it looks.
It's even killed a KIA so I guess it really is a Murder Truck.
Some dipshit in a Kia Sol wanted me to run a red light and I didn't so he ended up rear ending me hard and impaled his radiator on my rear bumper armor. Killed that fucking Kia right there. DOA. Meanwhile I drove off only needing to get out a can of flat black Krylon to fix the scuff.

The Fusion was a great car and I loved not buying gas but I'll never own another electric car again. It's a 100% economy based decision.
The funding for my work largely comes from very rich donors who make their money in oil. So when covid hit and everybody stopped driving for two years, they lost money, their donations dried up, and I was furloughed. Then when college sports resumed it was on limited budgets with no raises or overtime until this past year.
So I did my part and invested in a gas truck so I'd use gas but also I needed and wanted a truck. Then when the EV craze went full bloom I sold that Fusion and made a killing off it.
Now EV's are fucking lame and for pansy ass techbros or little girls IMO. They're not doing shit to save the planet with all the mining needed for lithium batteries and they're charged using electric from fossil fuels so what's the point?
Fuel efficient gasoline trucks or hybrids are where it's at IMO.

And BTW...If you think the Cybertruck is bad....Check out a Rivian. Fugliest and weirdest truck on the road. Damn grill looks like the truck is taking it up the ass dry and has this surprised look with those headlights. And the techbros driving them might even be worse than the techbro fucks in the Cybertrucks!

I missed one week from Covid only because I was forced to. It was nice when the city and campus was empty but it was weird doing the normal routine of life while the world was hold up in hiding, scared to do anything. I just went on like normal then when everybody finally came out of hiding I was like, come on out! The water's warm! Lets go back to work and make a living again!!

great advice ! I didn’t wear any protection for first 4/5 years and my eye sight diminished considerably and quickly - good lights are no joke !

I just went on like normal then when everybody finally came out of hiding I was like, come on out! The water's warm! Lets go back to work and make a living again!!
Covid was awesome for my fencing business - I could have sold even more if I could found people to to install them - lots Rivian vehicles in fla. must agree they are ugly as hell !

I found it humbling and reassuring how quickly wildlife and Mother Nature started to come out of hiding and thrive while we were locked up.

We still get rabbits, foxes and coyotes. Strange as the nearest park is blocks away and I’m on a Main Street.

I was shopping for skinny jeans w my wife this morning and I saw a Rivian truck parked. It's oddly small in person, neither of us were fans of the styling. She also hates the Cybertruck and thinks I'm stupid for even looking at it lol. Doesnt care how fast it is. We do need one more rig soon, she has her eye on the Mazda CX50.
New taco looks 100% badass I might jump ship from Jeep if it's easier to get in and out of then current model. As much as I wanted one I couldnt get past the head ducking.
 
a couple years ago this young guy, i'll call him a kid... he rolls up to the garage with a brand new harley, in skinny jeans!!! holy shit the guys jumped all over this dude!!! he couldn't have been too offended, he came back!!! hahaha i still made fun of him again though!!! hahaha

put some training wheels on the critterz!!!

005.JPG

i printed them in orange to root for the horns last night!! 🤠 wasn't enough!!

i have the lights at 60% even ratio right now... and i am also following Steamroller's lead in reducing light hours each week. right now i'm riding at 17/7 at some point i'm going to start taking some blue out for pre flower spectrum. not exactly sure when to do it but i'll wing it!!!

006.JPG

the veg cabinet has nothing going on just the junior!!!! got the light at 20%

great advice ! I didn’t wear any protection for first 4/5 years and my eye sight diminished considerably and quickly - good lights are no joke !
I can attest as well after 2 years with & without the glasses, the 3rd year I realized my vision was fading, myself!! So yes, wear eye protection, GML or grand master Level sells a superior lens like the one I can't remember this morning,Cheers. SS Method 7,wow google.
 
I like my yellow clips but yours seem to be adjustable? Is that the case? 🤔

yes sir, they're adjustable. right angle to straight..

008.JPG

i ended up opting out for the other non adjustable option. they're lighter and i printed a hole in them to make them extendo-lst clips with a little wire....

003.JPG

i put training wheels on most of them...

004.JPG

i forgot to top the little plant in the back left, i topped her last night. i forgot to look at the moon phase, dammit!!

picked up a sous vide tub with an adjustable wire rack... works a thousand times better than my canning pot i was using!!!

001.JPG002.JPG

i also bought a lifetime supply of bay leaves for soups n stuff!!

i normally buy these little jars for like $4 and change at the grocery store...

001.JPG

screw that... on amazon for $14 i won't have to ever buy them again! here's a link... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DK39NW9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

some of these leaves are so huge they wouldn't even fit in the little jar!!!!!!!

002.JPG

also picked up some well needed larger pyrex and some jambalaya fixins for tomorrow!!

Ayieeee jambalaya on the way!
Dude you buy bay leaves like I do pickle juice! Ever use pickle juice as a fried chicken marinade? Yummy! Chicken turns green but once fried it's back to white.🥴
That's a nice SV rig you got going there and I'm diggin' the Zatarains! Another you might like are these guys...
Another little hack is Old Bay seasoning kicked up with a lot of ground cayenne. 😉
I see that PEI powder coat look on those clips hahahaha!! 🧐I love that texture on the base of my prints😎
 
Someone’s having a party! 😝👍

a flavor party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ah yeah i love pickle juice for chicken, that's how i make my wings!!! i never bought it by the gallon though... i always waited till i ate all the pickles out of the jar!!! hahaha

jambalaya turned out great man!! nice spicy dish for a cold day.. had some flurries today and it's in the twenties already!! it was a little too spicy for my lady and i didn't even use the seasoning i bought!!! both of those were too hot for her, she wouldn't have ate it if i used it so i just used onion and garlic powder with a little bit of red pepper and paprika and a couple others... i added the cajun to my bowl though!! hehe

made a quick cast iron corn bread to go with....

007.JPG

005.JPG

i never added any red pepper to the old bay, but i do keep a jar of the hot on hand..

.
speaking of pei sheets... santa brought me a double sided one. powder coat on one side and glass smooth on the other.. i've been using the smooth side for petg and the powdered for pla... weird thing is the smooth side still ghosts the design image on the material.. i really like the bed though, best thing i've printed on so far!!

Damn near as bad as beans in chili!!!

you don't know what you're missin man!!!! hehe

I dont even like pickles so i taste it in every single bite, and then even fast food joints went and ruined chicken sandwiches because they inly come with pickles and mayo or pickles and like mayo/relish combo shit. 🤮🤮

It's the same with mushrooms, you can try and hide them, cover em up, dice em tiny as shit, ill still find them. I wont pick them out or anything, but i will know they are there and hate every bit of it lmao.

Anything i do not like i have a super sensitive palate for, kinda sucks actually.

But pickles and mushrooms are like the only 2 things i dont like, im not super picky.

i hear ya man, that sucks it's those two!!! i have a super sensitive palate for ginger.. when i was in asia it sucked, they use heavy ginger on a lot in china. it ruins the whole dish and it's all i can taste. i can't even handle it in five spice.

I domt mind ginger in very small amounts but it has to be in the right dish to work for me. You cant just go putting it in anything imo, it needs to work lol.
