Random picture thread

I see 6/ 6.2+ on second picture.
Next secret trick is always perfom that test exactly the same.
Same lighting, same background.
Whether it is 6 or 7 doesn't matter in reality.
You have a 'baseline' and now can document how the grow was impacted and make adjustments in grows down the rode.
That is how I made the color reagent test effective for me in aquariums when many found them useless.
Consistency is your friend when testing.

That's what I'm thinking buddy.... gonna try 7 for a pH value. And let the plants tell me...

I see around 6

I use drops, I'll post what I use when I get in the house, it's for a very limited range though not sure if it would work for you

I like my pH at 6.8 in soil (or Pro mix) because then it has a longer way to drift down before it gets below 6 in the root zone, I use Dolomite in soil so it locks it in the mid 6's anyway, but not in Pro mix it already has dolomite in it

I was sitting outside the other day thinking I need to mow again. Understand that we don't have a "lawn" here but some mixed native grasses and weeds. I was tryin out some of that LA Coup, got me ripped off my arse and I was staring at these weeds and noticed these particular weed had some tiny white flowers. I saw them again today and was like, I want a closer look. So I took my scope and took a photo of them close up, they are very pretty and you would never notice unless you get ripped and space out on it, :LOL:

Anyhow, here is a photo of the weed in a little cup with water, and then a close up of one of the flowers at 100x. Cool cool.

Did a little kayak river float with the family on Sunday. I assume these are still referred to as "Canadian" geese, but I won't pretend to keep up with single executive order.

I only found out a few years ago that they aren’t protected up here anymore. Buggers get in groups and take over parks and ponds, sometimes pools. One park near a school has warning signs as they will go after you.

They're thick down here, too. Just hanging out in fields like cattle, lol. Had a huge gaggle cross the road when I was going to visit a buddy. They didn't get in any hurry and I had to sit there for a minute.

Thanks for this laugh brother. Got me good this hump day morning and made me smile about how I'll always think of it as the Gulf of Margaritaville no matter what some creepy orange freak man says otherwise.

I always thought Canadian Geese were cool and beautiful mostly because my Mom loved them. We never saw them in Cali but for some reason she loved them. Then when she would travel thru the midwest she'd see them, take pics, and send me the pics so I thought ya know "Cool. Mom got to see her geese!" So I've always had nice thoughts about the geese.

Then I went to Chicago in 2023 and got a very different opinion about them. Apparently they're a nuisance and can be assholes. So our tour guide was pretty much like fuck those dickhead geese because they're a bunch of assholes and they're mean and shit everywhere.
Hearing him, I could only imagine what my Mom woulda been thinking as this guy railed on about her beloved geese.

My mom was all about the Loons for years. Used to see them a lot in Muskoka.

There's something about old ladies and water fowl. Loons, Mallard Ducks, and even pheasants were some of my Mom's other faves.
Grandpa was a duck hunter and made decoys so maybe that's where she got it or maybe it was just a generation type thing?

My wife’s family was into Cardinals. They come around our place often for sunflowers seeds and all the bushes. Wife says it’s the spirits of her passed family. I’m okay with that. Makes her happy.

I'm a cardinal guy too and have had them in my yards for close to 30 years with our habitat. The main reason I grow sunflowers is for them lol.
There is something about them though. No matter what's going on, one visits your window you smile and if you're sad it's gonna have that effect of being a sign from beyond saying hey' it's gonna be okay.

I’m okay with most wildlife. Tree rats are even okay if not on my house or garage. Gives the dog something to chase. 😂

We’ve been here about the same amount of time. Get repeat wildlife each season. Only the mourning doves are gone. Squirrels got them a few years in a row. Assholes.

The geese are really thick around here, now. Almost like cattle. Dozens, sometimes 100+, grazing in fields. I visited a buddy recently and had to wait for bunch to slowly make their way across the road. Not a nuisance for me, but not the uncommon sight it used to be around here. Wish I could train them to target the new cement in the Rose Garden.

Cardinals are popular here, too. I like birds in general, but am almost jealous about the boy birds getting to be the pretty ones. The only thing keeping me from being full on jealous is the thought of a life being pretty, but having to chase around hairy girls and settle down with a bearded wife. Just doesn't do it for me.
 
Wonder what that Costco fourm would think of a take your Autos to work day...chainsaws, hammers, cussing.....OH MY....

3 in the picture but there were more spread all over the field, why do deer lay down in the rain?View attachment 112553

Not sure what happened to that picture, couldn't fix it so I'll post it again

I looked up why they lay down in the rain this is what AI said:

AI Overview
Deer typically lay down in the rain to seek shelter and conserve energy, especially during heavy downpours. Light rain may not significantly affect their behavior, and they might even be more active, but heavy rain prompts them to find cover in denser vegetation or other protected areas. Deer may bed down to stay dry, avoid predators, and wait for the rain to subside before resuming their normal activities.
