[Bandit420]

i get allergies most of the summer but more so in fall for some reason. congestion and constant nose blowings and clogs!! fun stuff!!! i never tried flonase, does it really work?

the only thing i'm thankful for is a normally only get my allergies in the morning and before lunch i'm breathing normal again. so i normally tolerate them without taking anything.

.

man you could host VIP seating in pool for movie nights!!!!!!

dude that would be so sweet if you could ever whisper a suggestion for your coach to reach out to SHR for a longhorn tour next year... bro you know those guys would go nuts when they saw you wall of art on the tour!!!! could be uber epic!!! could you imagine lunch with preece and briscoe... legendary!!

i'm still kicking myself in the ass for taking preece last week... i should know better! i'm already in the basement of the pool!!!

nascar had this pick up on the homepage.. larson and his cock. no L ...... i love when they do that Ricky H pose!!!!

And Gragson too!! Only thing though is Reddick is in tight with Texas right now and coach was hanging with him most of prerace but we'll see!
But Hell yeah man I'm gonna do a little more than whisper!
We did it once before back in 2006...Sponsored Waltrip's #99 at TMS to celebrate our '05 national title in football



And Waltrip gave coach a diecast of that car which sits on his desk now.
There's another angle to it as well in recruiting since a lot of pit crew guys are ex college football players. With this regime, any advantage they can get legally in recruiting, they're gonna take it.

noooo not 23-11... anything but those guys!!!!!

i could imagine recruiting at that level gets pretty nasty and cut throat... and from what i read in the news some schools even get a little illegal with it!!
if walls could talk there's probably a lot of people in trouble every year!!!

edit... forgot to tell ya, my local grocery store is having a three day sale on briskets!!! gonna try to grab one tomorrow night!!

Yesterday I saw costco had prime packer briskets in the $40 ranges. I almost grabbed one then thought, All that trim work and passed.

Yep 'crootin' is cut throat but nowadays thanks to NIL we can pay players above the table. Some guys will walk out of college millionaires. We have collectives for money where donors can donate cash and players can deduct from it like a bank account but the big deals are kinda like social media influencer payments.
Take Lamborghini for example. We can get a kid in a Lambo and all he has to do is tweet about it like a commercial and it's legal. Wanna buy a kid a house for his family? Same thing...tweet about a real estate biz as an influencer, get a house.
Then there's the deals that are like free agency with transfering players which we get into a little but it's more so for programs like your WVU where they brought in a QB 2 years ago by getting him a condo and private chef to sweeten the deal. It didn't work out well for WVU which is also common. Programs really got to vet the player and see does he just want to get paid or can he really help? It's about a 50/50 success rate for the school which is why we don't load our roster with those hired gun guys. Maybe a few, but not the whole team like A&M tried to do and crashed and burned from it but at the same time, worked out great for LSU and they got a Heisman trophy out of it.

And it's not just for football. Women's sports can get huge paydays as well. Any female athlete who is attractive can see a huge payday simply by modeling athletic wear, makeup, etc just like any super model could. There's just tons of money in athletics and for the right athlete, people will trip over themselves trying to get that person paid to speak about, wear, or use their product. Our starting QB models for Wrangler jeans FFS.
Pretty much the only off limit shit is something illegal. Like if a kid sat down and said I want 10 kilos of blow to sign or his own private harem of women to pleasure him we'd tell him to fuck off.

Hey speaking of Ricky H....I know you hate Kyle Busch but have you had a chance to check out the documentary, Rowdy? It's free to watch on the Freevee app thru Prime Video but it's pretty good and it really dives into his relationship with Ricky when KB drove for Hendricks and how after Ricky's death, sent KB on kind of a fucked up path. It's a really interesting watch that kinda gets into what makes KB tick and why he is the way he is. I still don't like him but it was a good watch.

man for $40 range i'd buy two!!!!!! not joking!! i went down there and didn't see any so i asked... the lady looked at me like i was from another planet asking for a brisket on sale!! they had the london broil advertised along with the brisket, she brings one out and i'm not 100% sure what all your lingo means in brisket cuts but i got a pretty damn good idea from your explanations without even seeing any. so we have two kinds.. whole brisket which is your packer. ( we don't get to choose grades) and we have a fully trimmed point OR flat separate for over $12 a pound. PASS!!! so she brings out a "packer" ... $96!!!! i asked about the sale and she went into mindblown mode and never heard of it!!! pretty sure the add says it... so fuck it i didn't buy one!!! no brisket for stoneyluv. so i bought stuff to make pizza and tacos instead.



so besides the snow there's yet another reason why you wouldn't live here!!! hahahahaha


so today was my tax day... i go to an accountant anymore, i have a few side hustles and it makes my brain hurt and besides my accountant takes trade in moonshine so his services only costs me hobby fun!!!! i'm almost out of shine... but good news is i had enough stashed away and even get to keep almost $800!!!! well..... we got to quickly spend 800 anyway... it's freakin gone already!!!! hahaha we got a couple toys and the rest went into the house fund for repairs.

but i thought i was gonna have to dip into my savings to finish off the payment.. i just set money aside twice a year and pay it all at once. i;ve tried to quarterly thing and didn't like it.. i do better just once and done like a bandaid and get over with!!! but man either way i had shine with me to either celebrate or drown in misery!!!

put aside a little extra money for 4/20 sales though... gonna get some DFG seeds, can't talk about it yet.. i'm gettin some vip treatment and don't wanna spoil it!!! that money is mostly coming from the no brisket funds, fuckers!!! hahaha

gotta go snap some pic of the plants.. i decided i'm adding those two clones in my flowering cabinet tonight..

the seeds i am getting do not have a name, i'm thinking brisky dream!!!!

 

[Stoneyluv]

i decided to move my plants from the cloner to the flower cabinet... these two plants were two tops from the mainliners.. one is a imperium x and the other is a straight jacket...

not bad for a dirty soil guy....





i'm trying not to get too excited for this grow yet but i'm feeling something here...





kinda hoping for powerade bottle buds... not coke bottle size but powerade!!!!

gave them all some great white/killer crab/green aminos, and they all got their first taste of sugar tonight!!!!

had way less branches than i thought i had and probably could have went with the ACI net with less holes but it's in there now so no turning back!!!

got all kinds of blank holes though, we'll see how that works out...

View attachment 52773

i shaved their legs one last time... probably shouldn't have left so much growth under the net layer but i didn't think that far ahead when putting them in there so it is what it is...

View attachment 52774

but we got lots and lots of headroom!!!!! i put another set of hooks in right away for the top net in case i need it. i put them 12" above the first hooks. it's low enough that i can reach all the way to back row to organize or reposition if i need to so that was unexpected. thought i was once and done but i have some control yet.

and i officially flipped!!!!!! so after 10 weeks and 5 days of veg we are now week 1 day 1 of 12/12.. light spectrum was changed to pre flower and increased 10% for a total of almost 90% right now. (90R-90W-45B)

You know you're country when you're trading 'shine for tax help

Our taxes are pretty simple so I just use Intuit and efile online. We usually get around a $1100-$1800 return. Lowest was $1100 in 2017 thanks to Trumps tax the middle class so the wealthy would be taxed less policy of 2017. Between that and covid furloughs, 2017-2020 were our worst years of income since we'd been working these jobs. Slowly been getting a little more back on the federal return but now we're on the threshold of being in a new tax bracket with our higher salaries so I doubt the return will ever be more than $1500 after this year.
We don't have state taxes but do pay insanely high property taxes. We have to save $700/month to pay it and they always send that $8000 bill the week after Thanksgiving so that federal return just pays a different tax. Cruel as it gets taxing people during the holidays. So yeah between federal and local I'm in the I fucking hate taxes boat.

Yeah I'd say your brisket sitchyation is peculiar at best.
No grades? No wagyu or grass fed options? No choice between packer, deckle fat removed, super trim, or market trim? I'll try to remember to take some pics of the brisket den at the supermarket next time I'm there. You'll freak the fuck out!
$96 for a packer...That fucker better be prime wagyu!!!
If I was there I might have to ask your brisket lady to step outside so we can fight!
She reminds me of this dipshit lady at the headshop a couple weeks ago. I walk in and ask, I need an ground glass adapter for a 13mm slide to go in an 18mm downstem. I get a blank stare back and she responds... Huh? I dumb it down for her...I need a glass adapter to fit a small bowl into a large tube on a waterpipe....Huh?...Ok you see the bong on the shelf and it has a small bowl right? The other one has a large bowl. I need the part that would allow that small bowl to fit that one with the larger bowl. "Oh" followed by a long pause....Yeah I've never seen that so I don't think we have it....Are you sure? This is a smoke shop and it's a pretty common thing.....Yeah people ask for it all the time but I don't know so we don't have that. I walk away at that point thinking this woman is a fucking moron and I just lost some brain cells trying to ask her questions.

But anyways, yeah I passed on those $40 prime packers but that doesn't mean I didn't walk away with a brisky!
I pulled a 6lb vac sealed Wagyu corned beef brisket from Snake River Farms they had on clearance from St. Patty's day for only $38. Yep! Gotta little something for sous vide! I packed it away in the deep freeze for some other time though.

I was thinking the mainline should get you arm size colas? The counter cut style of mainline I'd do always got me spear like towers like that. But now with no veg they're about the size of a fist or like two large eggs stacked on top of each other then everything else is golf balls.

hell you know you're country when you look at anything i own or have!!! hahahahahaha sad but true...

holy fuck balls batman, your taxes are ridiculous!!!!!! well to me anyway... Steam probably thinks your are cheap!! hahhahaha i had to get out a calculator just to figure out what per month would be, we just pay em for the whole year here, some folks break it down to twice a year and pay a $40 fee for two cheap ones.. ok hold to to your shorts here,, i have three property lots with a total of seventeen acres and i paid just under $280 a month last year! ...

do you have state sales tax on everything you buy there? (not food)

.
.

wagu??!?!?1 you're funny!!! maybe steaks around here... honestly though the only time i ever ate wagu was in japan, and i'm fine with that.. but no not many cut choices. we have a local butcher thats not in our grocery store, his animals fences butt up against my property so they eat the same grass i have.. but not listed as grass fed or anything... what else do cows eat?

but at that place we can get good briskets and most of the ones i've smoked myself have come from there. i mean i get to actually pet the cattle sometimes so why not!!!!! but they have choice and chairman? cut i think it's called. a dude that worked there bought a motorcycle from me long time ago so he used to give me the better chairman cut for the choice price.. but he hasn't worked there in like five years now and that place decided to take advantage with the covid prices and now are just way too expensive for me to afford anymore. funny though i still carry a six year old punch card in my money clip from that place!!!!

so yes, decent briskets are possible in my town but they're 6.99/pound... but for that price they will trim it for free... you gotta pay for the fat but they'll open it and trim it for you on the spot. very nice people and place i mean hell we're neighbors, not by road or anything but by boundary...

but my local GIANT grocery store sucks ass!!!!!! but man even though i live back in the sticks i can get to that grocery store in five minutes from my driveway!!! so i go there for super convenience. i can drive twenty minutes in almost any direction and hit another GIANT and they have everything at they're store... we have giants and shoprites anymore...

but you think grocery stores are bad here... bong shops ae even worse!!!! i haven't been to a local one of those in so long!!! last time i went to one was for a new bowl piece and the lady didn't even know the sizes.. she said we have big and small!!! haha i said big, and she pulls out a 12x12 foam with maybe 20 or thirty on it, not a bad selection at all... but i was taking me more than 45 seconds to choose so the lady got impatient and says to me what does it matter you're gonna break it anyway, that's why you're here right? i said "nope" and walked out!!! i've broke like one bowl piece in my life.. bitch didn't know me at all!!! i have forever more bought my glass exclusively online!!! and that was at the "good" headshop!!!!!!

i mean yeah if i go to the big city like wonderland in philly it's different, that headshop is three stories of glass. but still easier to buy it online than to drive all the way down there and find parking and deal with humans...

[Bandit420]

That was not a race. It was a fucking coronation ceremony for Hendricks Racing. Boring is an understatement and now I know why so many fans think it's rigged in favor of Hendricks and JGR. Didn't feel rigged to me but it was about a 3 on the exciting scale and predictable.

Finally got a chance to watch live and had the #14 scanner going too. Good debate on whether or not to go with a two tire pit and there was chatter about SMT showing 14 being faster than both 22 and 48 but never could make the move in that traffic.
Thin crowd last week and this week too. For a couple historic tracks that had me wondering WTF. I guess fans in that area are just spoiled IDK.

I did move up to 3rd in the pool and think put some distance between me and 4th place. And I have the #5 at Texas this week so that seems like a good choice but yeah he does seem like the odd man out with that team really wanting the 9 and 24 in victory lane. I want the 5 to win for selfish reasons but will not be sad to see an underdog take the checker at No Limits on Sunday.

Looks like your plants don't stretch at all huh? Like just a slow and steady growth after upcan and flip? They do look happy and healthy though so that's good. Mine always seem to lose their shit and go nuts and it don't matter the soil or lights or nutes. Hydro or organic too, they just stretch it out. Day to day it's like new plants fill the space from the day before.

Yeah we pay a sale tax on everything except for when there's a sales tax holiday and that's pretty much for people with kids to save on back to school shopping. Sales tax is something like 8.5% last I checked.

On the beef yeah grass fed is pretty much another way of saying this beef did not come from a stockyard and was not fed with GMO grains.
Wagyu is more fad than anything IMO. Show me Texas raised Black Angus and I'll show you the best choice in beef there is as far as that goes. But yeah BA can only be had from the butcher and he aint fucking around on that price. Ground beef is $10/lb and a good ribeye is around $60/lb.

Here's the packers costco offers. Next time I'm at HEB I'll get pics of that too. I never thought about asking them to trim it though. Next time I'll ask about that

so you don't think i have any stretch??? i look at them each day and i'm saying slow down!!! take your time!!! don't be in such a rush to grow!!!

i'm getting a little more than an inch of growth a day from each top.. i only have a couple now that haven't reached the net so i'm fairly happy with my height choice, a little bit higher up would have been perfect though...

one thing that has been bugging me since i first put them in though, i moved them around and organized them by height when i put the net on. i should have organized them by harvest time instead and just hope i didn't screw myself.

i figured their roots are growing their last little bit so i gave them some great white/killer crab/green amino combo probably for the last time. from here on out it will be just sugars and bloom nutes. i also bumped the light up to full power. i'm still in pre flower spectrum but as soon as i see more plants with pistils i'll take 10% blue out and roll with the same 99-99-40 in flower that i did the last three rounds.

no complaints at all though.. it takes more water with 15 pots than it does with 9 i noticed that. my power wand has been awesome!! i've pumped about 12 gallons through it so far and i'm still on the first charge. i'm sure the first time will last longer tahn all the later charges will but i'm usually pretty good with rechargeable and conditioning them for a long life so hopefully they're quality batteries (japan) and it lasts. but so far so good!!! the misting feature is nut good for seedlings though, too strong and powerful spray for gentle plants.

.
yeah you withoout a doubt have better prices on beef than i do. there isn't a single cut of red meat for $4.29 in my local store. and yesterday we had one brisket... and i swear it's the same one that lady brought out to me last friday, i mean what are the chances they had two the exact same price?!?!!



it wasn't even in the correct marked area... and not just that we only had one... bro check out the packed and sell by dates from yours to mine... thats a fuckin crime right there!!! yours even have a big red circle around it to brag!! pitiful on my stores part!!!!



the only other option were these left over from st paddys day... bought these same one for $1.77 a pound that weekend now they want $7/pound for the same exact packs left over... bunch of BS!!



i'll eat more chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say you get growth and I get stretch. I'd love to have growth because it would make things much more manageable but instead I've had to build my room for stretch and change how I grow with the no veg to accommodate.
Stretch for me is a whopping 3-5" daily stretch between one node to the next and it slows or stops at around 6" gaps but the top shoot still keeps climbing like it wants to eat the light.
It even happens to me outdoors so there's no way for me to point at ____ and say that causes stretch.

Man your brisky selection is damn near criminal!!!

Yep it No Limits, Texas this week!!! We get to watch 'em go fast again thank goodness!!!
Nah I'm not going this time. We even thought about heading out to COTA for MotoGP on Sunday but I'm just so wiped out all I want is time off to chillax. Spring football and baseball has just been a muthafucker this year. I don't feel like driving up to Fort Worth + Sunday is a work day. No days off this week, just a grinder and I'm trying to keep pace with it and not put any extra load on

But I'll be there in spirit!!

That looks Suarez good bro!!! Authentic!!!
Around here we'd call that a quesadilla or tostada. Gringos will call it a Mexican pizza

those flags look badass!!! i like the suarez freak flag!!! i just got to put mine back up today, we had a few days of wind storms and didn't want them torn off.

but man you said it, go fast and get to actually race this weekend and not just ride around in a circle!! hope larson has his head in game, he's had a busy week...



isn't TMS where he spun out on his own after leading a bunch last year?

.

my mom calls them quesadillas but i know they don't normally have lettuce or sour cream. i like guac too but i just never seem to have an avocado on hand. i cooked the beans with onions and garlic with spices and cilantro and mashed em up, don't normally do that often but it makes it taste better i'm just normally lazy... turned out good though!! i even snuck in a tablespoon of cajun season so they had a tin kick to them!! hehe i can't go crazy for the family, they hate the spice!

but i gotta say i've been called a lot of things in my life but i don't think i'll ever be called a gringo!!! do they have hillbilly gringos?

You also see Larson had the 2nd fastest time at that test??

Yep Julie got my pick wrong, slotted me with Assstain but I emailed her this morning to fix it so I have Larson.
He dominates 1.5 mile tracks and he can dominate Texas, no doubt. Last year, yep he had that race won until he slid up the track into the 23 then spun and wrecked into the wall. Picking the 5 at Texas feels like money in the bank. I also have him at the end in Phoenix.

I kinda wish I was gonna be there. First place in the pool has KB. If there's one thing I know, if I'm at the track, KB is gonna have a bad day. Just something about it but he either wrecks, blows a motor, or straight up gets beat when I'm there.
Last year he had to drive around the track backwards. Before that the 1 wiped him out. Blew a motor the race after that. In Chicago he gave that stack of tires a colonoscopy.
On the flip side, bet on Tyler Reddick or Willie B if I'm at the track. Both have two wins each when I'm in attendance and the 45 has finished outside the top 10 only once when I've been at the track.

Hillbilly Gringos? I'm just gonna leave this here and leave the room

 

[SSgrower]

sort of, but they've been tricked all this time because we keep telling them that seven inches is ten inches so they're scale has been off from the start!!!

Ok, I gave an hour for oral, after that the girls eyes were spinning, i got the drill at 7 too.

 

[Kopper1013]

damn man, i can't really help much on the doctor stuff but i sure can help on the outlaw side...

this is how i make them in a no waste no mess fashion...

i start with a syringe, i use 3ml because that's what i got used to and was comfortable for me but you can use bigger ones if you want a bigger batch, i wouldn't really go any smaller though.

put your favorite full melt concentrate in the capped syringe, no plant material!! for a 3ml syringe i use 1.7 grams of sugar, if you use something stiffer like shatter then only for 1.6grams and if you're using squish or something loose then go up to 1.8 grams...

View attachment 51610

the next thing you will need is a liquidfier, there are a few brands out there and you don't need this exact brand but this is my favorite..

use the dropper to fill up the syringe, it won't take much.... then i put a small rubber cap on it. the cap doesn't need to be tight, just to keep the liquid from falling out if i tilt it...

View attachment 51611

View attachment 51612

then i put it in a mason jar and tighten the lid and set it in a pot of water... it doesn't need to be submerged, if you use too much water the jar will float and tip over, hence needing the rubber cap on the syringe.

don't boil it, just get it warm enough to where small bubbles form on the bottom of the pot then back the heat down a hair from there. use a small electric hot plate for this. and i cover the pot with a lid to keep the heat in.

View attachment 51613

you let that sit in the hot water covered for 20-30 minutes or so... till the syringe is quite warm to the touch.

this is where it will get a little tricky for ya, you need to mix it up in the syringe. this can be done by hand with a dab tool but it will take a good 20 minutes of hand stirring and not that practical. most peeps get tired at the five minute mark.

i cheat... i happen to have one of those cheap weed grinders that have batteries and a small blade to chop up the weed, they're garbage for buds but awesome for mixing... i shoved a dab tool on the evd where the blade was attached,,, it's kid of like an immersion mixer for the syringe.

the first mixing looks translucent like in the video, once mixed put it back on the heat for another ten minutes or so then mix it one last time and it then becomes clear. from there you can either eat it as is just applying it directly to your sore or put it in a vape pen and inhale to get high.

that was kinda the quick version, but all the details are there. if you have any questions about getting started let me know. i have been making them for years now so i know what not to do for most of it.

@Stoneyluv when you say sugar, do you mean like actual sugar? Would a QWET resin work in this application and if so would you use the 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8 grams sugar for that?

 

[steamroller]

No not real sugar.
Also sometimes called diamonds.
It is just a grade of extract.

What Is Sugar Wax?​

Sugar Wax is a concentrate that is very similar to shatter. It is created using the same extraction method. It also has a wide range of colors from very light yellow to almost amber. But the consistency and texture will be very different from shatter. Sugar Wax is rich in flavor and a bit easier to handle than other extracts, as it is thicker. As the name suggests it will look like sugar, or more precisely wet sugar.

How Is Sugar Wax Made?​

Sugar Wax happens to be an accidental finding. With various factors effecting wax, like time, condensation and others, it may turn into sugar wax through crystallization. Many people found this new form appealing and now manufacturers have perfected the process of intentionally producing wax with a sugary texture, often using strains that better retain water.
