Usually when I fished for rainbows.for like 20 years you didn't see any here.. a few years ago one started living under my shed, now theres like three or four that hang around!!! i really wish the ruffed grouse would come back.. they're our state bird and not even around anymore.

I stopped following sports in 1995. Blue Jays won the pennant by default as everyone was on strike and they won the year prior.thats the sour tangie, she's the only one that looks like that. smells incredible!!!! i think sour tangie is my all time favorite concentrate flavor.
five bucks?!?! now thats a deal man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've never seen either of those two. had tickets for jett years ago but it got rained out and i couldn't make the make up date.
yeah i just don't understand bumps on a race track. the only thing i can blame it on is laziness or very poor management. the equipment that is used and the process there is absolutely no excuse for bad pavement!!! none!!! they use a fuckin laser to measure it! it just all comes down to lazy ass union workers that don't give a shit about their job or themselves! I bet 80% of union workers could never keep a real job! some of these tracks look like PENNDOT paved em!!! we have some shitty roads here and ya can't blame it all on erosion and winters!!! laziness is what it is!!!!
i was hoping they'd move it around. i'd be all for a road race to decide it all!!!!!! could you imagine how desperate drivers would get!!! and let like eight of em at it, not just the final four!!!! hell yeah!!!
i personally know three couples that don't follow nascar anymore and stopped going to races just because of stage racing and the changes that came along with it. nascar lost a lot of fans when changing the championship to new rules... at least on paper anyway. i think they lost fans for three reasons, this was one of them. toyota coming in was another, and Dale getting killed was a big one. many fans just left. all these things kinda compounded all one after the other. and add in the whole cingular, at&t, xfinity bullshit and enough was enough and fans just left!! i really wish you could have gotten to see it at a track when it was winston cup. pit passes are like dinosaurs now.. for like $75 you could get pit passes where you just hang out with the teams and families! pocono was the very first track to start ruining it they came up with the paddock pass and that started the whole deal where you can only approach drivers through a chain link fence. the following year over half the tracks went to this and cancelled pit passes.
hell yeah, but i want the alive!!!!!!! hahaha i just think they're so cool. the way they drum up, it's like an old engine starting!!!
i miss having them around!!!
Some days I’d be tempted to cast in a line.so i printed a better gasket for my leak and i go out there and the leak stopped on it's own!!!!

@Stoneyluv
You ever see the babies? I’ve moved a few from little divots they make in the middle of the lawn. Just before we mow I do a check.
One bugger tricked me twice by playing dead. Never knew they did that. We had a large raptor flying around that summer so I guessed it might have gotten it when I went to get a bag for it’s body. Second time I pushed it with my shoe and it still didn’t move. It was on the inside sidewalk. I went to get my glove off the bench to pick it up and it was gone. Sneaky bugger.
It did. I come back in just a minute or two with a shopping/body bag and it’s gone. No cats, no noises, no marks in the grass other than what I saw prior. Raptor was the only thing to come to mind.damn i've never seen one play possum like that!! that would freak me out.
We had a few holes/dens. They seem to like making tunnels under our stoop, which I can live with if they finish before I can fill it back in. But others are under our plants root balls. The rest are more like ground bird nests. Usually in a corner or under a bushy plant area. Just a indent a bit bigger than fist size. I’ll take a few pics next time I’m out.but no, i never see them tiny, by time i see them they're little bunnies. i think i have three nests, one under my crawl space where my grow exhaust goes, one in the back yard under a shed, and i think one lives somewhere near my pond, i seem to see one there quite often. the one by my exhaust is the only friendly one that doesn't run when i talk to it. the others boogie right away!! haha
That’s new! We’ve seen two deer on the street over Covid because we have parks around us but not on the property. Fox and coyote a few times. But that’s about it.i get the baby deer in the yard though, almost hit so many of those over the years. they'll be curled up the size of a football in the high grass.. i had one crawl up in my lap licking my ear one time, talk about nature melting your heart!!!

Just bulking up this week. Should water bottle unless I bugger it up.
They do well outdoors too.
That race was so cool to see live. That move made me a Ross Chastain fan.
It's a weird time in NASCAR. Like an out with old and in with the new thing so it has it's good and bad to it.
I like them dabbling in the international market but not at the expense of USA tracks. Like let's fix that bump[ at TMS before we're flying off to Saudi Arabia for a one off race.
One major change I'd like is get ticketmaster out of it. Sell tix thru NASCAR or at the track but cut out ticketmaster for driving up the prices on everything.
I agree on the pit passes. That's a $600 adventure now because of ticketmaster. Race tix are the same. Should be about $30-$40/seat, ticketmaster jacks it up to $90. And to make it even worse, Ticketmaster doesn't sponsor a fucking thing. All they do is take and zap away any value in fun unique entertainment. When people need to finance fucking concert tickets, that's a problem.
I collected some bonus points this week. Glad you reminded me about fantasy because I spaced it and set my line up today and got that 13.
Powerball gave me 15 this week.
I think every month I'll order something like a sticker or whatever just to get that 63 points per month from fanatics. You get one 50 point bonus a month from them when you by something and I don't think there's a minimum purchase so something like a sticker should get that 50 and also do it when they have a free shipping code.
I'm at 4463 right now and will tack on 126 by Sunday night. Long way to go to 15,000 still but I think it's possible.
Congrats brother!!!!
Man we found some cones for my wife she really likes. They're non-dairy and plant based since she's doing the same diet as me to make it ez and she loves them. I'm still into frozen Kind bars and the B&J Cherry Garcia non-dairy option but yeah...so nice to enjoy those treats!!
That's a huge herd of happy fish dude!!!
Incredible how this pond has done so well for ya. It's gotta be because of Eddie and that shitter never being full.![]()


That aquaponics keeps calling me fellas.
I'm real close to doing to it again. Real close.

That is sooo cool you have a pond! One day I keep telling myself I'll have a pond but w bass(for fun) and walleye(for eating) lol









Wowser! Totally kick ass dude!! Whats ur BNB info? lol



What am I using to get this shit off my truck #Stoney??

Whatda got for this bro?
"Dominating" doesn't even describe Sunday brother
Then today Kyle "All I do is lead 10000 Laps" Larson is the trivia answer.
Dude is just on fire man. Is it even fun for him now? Like winning is just routine for that guy now. I also wonder if he has eyes on F1 later on or does he just get off on torching the field in Cup and Xfinity?![]()
Love the trip down memory lane on the aquaponics!
Kinda the same here...Already have what I need to do it. Now do it!!
Lessons learned from the past will help me going forward.
I'm thinking a dual plumbed bed. Both top drip and flood and drain.
I want to divide a bed with some pots having shale and worms and those being top fed with water for the main filter.
Then other pots with light soil like I'm using now and flood them 1x a day.
The fish and worms would pretty much be locked in and perpetual but having the plants in pots would allow ez exchange, starting plants in the aquaponics then transplanting into soil/sip/container gardens.
Maybe have 1-2 permanent plants in the aquaponics as well just to keep it in symbiotic balance.
I also wanna do it in my carport and in the tent. I'll have racoon and weather protection there which were the causes of previous failures at it.

Thanks man, never thought about a plastic blade, I peeled one 7 off but it left lines.i'd go at the first two with a plastic razor blade then an eraser.. just get one of these kits, it will have what you need to make it look perfect..

what is the third pic of? is that on paint? looks like a vinyl decal made for glass? are you looking to remove the entire thing or just the 72?
i need more context on that last one...
Thanks man, never thought about a plastic blade, I peeled one 7 off but it left lines.
i still pinch myself, like did i really choose a driver to root for thats that damn good?!?!
he took the lead in the standings this week too..
he said in an interview if he would stay at indy and try for the top six in quals or leave to race to all star? it wasn't even a question for him, he said oh i'll skip the indy top six for a chance at a million dollars!!! haha
i hope the weather cooperates with his double attempt this year!!
raining here again today... i could count the dry days weve had on one hand over the past few weeks!!! rain tomorrow and thursday too!! at least my feet are dry in the goretex!!!!
thats a great idea with keeping them contained like that. root clogging was always my only maintenance. although if i was to use that tote the bonus is it has a big 13" hole on top for the drain, i was thinking of just making a huge bell siphon and dare/challenge the roots to clog that monster!!!! haha i laugh but i'm serious!!! i can fit my head in that opening!!!
i wanna keep mine separate from my pond.. the sun sucks at my pond and i'd like to have the growing section inside my polytunnel and have the fish outside in the shade. i'k also like to try some strawberry tubes..

also man, have you watched the incar on max? dude it's pretty sweet, it has the team scanner for the audio. plus you can DVR it!!!!! so no matter when you watch the race you can sync up the race and brisky's radio!!! and get to see the incar cam!!!
it was way better quality than nascar used to show, never froze at all either!!! briscoe had a huge crack in his windshield!!

ooooh speaking of tractors.. i got my john deere all fixed up and ready for lawn fightin!!!! brand new tie rods and fresh grease job she is turning on a dime!!!!! mowed everything last night.. got it done just before the rains came in. got eveything except for around the pond. still need to clean that all up, but i did get the plumbing all glued in place and the filters are kicking ass and right now it's the nicest the water's been in two years so far it's still getting better yet!!!
even from my wildlife cam it looks pretty good.. in the rain!!! hahaha it's not green anymore though.

Man you brought up some PTSD mentioning the root clogging!
I forgot about that issue!
I have my strawberry tower in mock up stage right now. That same plastic tower I had indoors until it got mites but this time with a huge ceramic pottery piece for the rez below to give it some weight. It's a project on the list hahaha.
I just feel better about aquaponics now in so many ways. Ideas on that bed with the plants being ez to remove and replace and a new type bed for the worms to thrive but also be able to harvest them easily for using in the landscape and soil containers.
And not to mention the fact that we have 3D printers now and there just so happens to be over 10,000 downloads for bell siphons.
Yeah man, we got this!!!!
My only remaining question really is to Tilapia or not to Tilapia or just go with koi?
'm so far behind on my watchlists but I'm really looking forward to watching Full Speed and seeing the behind the scene stuff with Briscoe. Won't mind seeing his family life a little but mostly interested in how it was at SHR in the final days and him going back and forth to JGR + his wife expecting twins!
I know the kind of stress major leadership changes bring in football so I wanna see if it's different in racing.
The Max incar is wild man. We only tuned into to it live for one race and watched like the first 20 laps before I had to go to work.
Each car is different...some have audio and some dont and some have multi camera angles while some dont.
Like I wanted Blainey and Busch in cars for a while and hoped they had audio so I could hear them melting down and dropping F bombs on the field but they had no audio.
But it is fucking amazing how clear that in car is. Not sure what Max is doing to get it like that but holy shit that's a vivid viewing experience.
The most I have that on is playing a replay while I'm working. It's on and I glance up etc but don't really sit down and watch. It's my music while I work. I just wish there was smellavision so I could smell the burning rubber and fuel too.
Yard is looking great Buddy!!!
Good to see all you yankees thawing out finally and getting some season!
You've mowed your grass what like once, maybe twice? Yeah 8x here so far man. Did the 9th in the back yesterday so we can have a nice weekend in the yard and have a cookout, play axe throwing, gardening, and work on my cowboy pool/plunge tank
Only half the lawns needed mowing last week. Got a little more rain so it’s all ready now. They keep promising rain but just keeps missing us. Supposed to be raining right now.

some of the clogs i had were brutal, i remember using a long fiberglass stick to poke channels through. one time i accidentally tore my growbed liner.. that was a nightmare!!!!
but man i really like your idea about separates.. almost looking just like your flood and drain table. maybe contain the plants in airpots filled with clay?
and i never even gave thought to now having a printer to help.. man the sky's the limit on parts!!! those days of walking back and forth at lowes pvc isle trying to couple parts together to try and make t work are over!!!!
i wish i liked to eat fish because i'd have edible fish in mine. it was easy for me to pick koi because tilapia would not survive the winters here.
i watched the beginning of it. i need to watch it all before we cancel netflix officially. i tried one night but i just wasn't into it, tough for me to watch old news or old info i already know the outcome. but i honestly think most of it was because it starts out with guys i don't care for!!
but i'll watch it here one day, maybe just a background thing like ya say!!
oh man i didn't realize not all the scanners are on it... i was thinking maybe next year i wouldn't have to subscribe to the scanner but if it's only certain weeks i wont. i only had it for one week so far so i didn't look into much. i'll check it out a bunch during the open starting soon!!
blaney and busch would be the best bet for a meltdown for sure.. Blaney freaks out every single race!!! he's always mad at another driver or team though. i've heard busch belittle his own team and say things he should never say even if he's pissed. you gotta work with guys on monday!!! that's my biggest gripe on kyle busch, he trashes the people trying to help him when he gets mad.
i've always believed in the saying... be careful of the toes you step on today as they may be connected to ass you gotta kiss tomorrow!!!
but yeah man i was super happy with the quality. the races too, fox has aired the race every week except for one in 4K so far this season. two weeks ago it was only 1080 because of some arena football game.. i didn't have such kind words to say about arena football that day!!
but yeah the scanner was nice and never froze once!!! i didn't check out any of the multi car ones they show but i will during the open!!
sure hope Larson puts on show for you guys tonight!!!!! he's coming from the back... way outback!!!!!
eight times?!?!?! oh fuck dat.. i'd move if i had to mow right times.. bro i don't even mow eight times all year long!!! i try to keep it around five or six mows on the year. i got way too much grass to be cutting it every week!!! we'll try again in june and see how it is!! hahaha
i could cause HOA people to have mental breakdowns with my lack of lawn care!!! hahahaha
we go some of that sunshine today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! been raining so much but yesterday afternoon the rains stopped and today it sunny and breezy and 75° !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gonna rain in a day or two for a few days so i can't get too excited yet!! haha

I remember thinking the drain hole in the earthbox would be fine. It was big, no problem.
By the end of the grow not only was that clogged but the 4 additional 1" holes I drilled had clogged too.

Dude, Busch is hilarious on the scanner. We listed to his scanner a lot during the COTA race and after, we picked up and often use a Buschism.
There was a point where his spotter told KFB he was like a 10th of a second slower than everybody going thru the esses but he was also torching the field at the same time so it didn't really matter. The spotter rattled off all this tech data about it and KFB responded " Ooooh-K." It was just the way he did it had us cracking up then the spotter came back kinda kissing his ass with I'm just trying to help buddy. Then silence.
Now when somebody tells me pointless and useless information I always respond "Ooooh-K".
And Blaney, I just imagine him going around the track, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, that guy is stupid, fuck, fuck, fuck, what an idiot, fuck fuck fuck..![]()
Man I LOVE my Terp Pen. I just carry a small glass jar with me when I'm mobile but the included dab cab is sweet.

i really hoping i can use this tote to my advantage, it has a much bigger cap than some of the others i've seen... i'm kinda taking it as a challenge for the roots to clog this hole!!! haha

if busch would have a little bit of a filter towards his teammates i'd probably be a fan.. most of the time i read it as entertainment and know he's not meaning anything bad by it and is just frustrated. but those few handful of times where i've heard him just be straight up disrespectful and belittling his crew makes me wanna drag his ass out of the car and beat the fuck out of him!!! he's a big dude so i'd probably get my ass kicked but no way would i ever let him or anyone else speak to me that way without taking a swing at him thats for sure!!!
gibbs let some of it slide because he was winning but i don't think Childress puts up with it. or maybe he's just calming down in his old age.. just wait till the first time his kid mouths off to him the way he used to and see how he likes being on that side of the radio. bet there's a double standard there!
oooohhh brisky's running the double?!?! nice!!! i'l be watching that for sure!!!! he'll be racing more than 900 miles this weekend!!!!!!! a lot of the guys will actually have a snack with them inside the car to munch on during a yellah! wonder if brisky will have lance crackers!!!
gonna be an awesome racing weekend, i'm freakin pumped!!!!!!
ya know i said it was for on the go but man it hits nicer than expected, and with the new mouthpiece that fits in a 14mm bong joint it's a pretty sweet desktop ripper!!!!!
