We don’t have the cherry tomatoes turning red yet. Only one or two from another I don’t recall the strain.

We get between 4-6 cucumbers a week now. Depends how big we’re going for. Too big and the seeds become an issue.
 
It’s easy man..you will shit it in.i reckon once you start it gonna b hard for you to stop.you will b the nxt Johnny apple seed spreading seeds across the countryside lol.

open the car window and sprinkle them all the way to town!!! hahaha

like Bandit said it could be a useful tool in toolbox for sure. this weekend i want to put together a veg area and start some more plants.

we got maybe 15 or 20 cherrys so far but most of them are still green yet. but man are they great tasting!! way better and bigger than anything in store right now!!

my problem with the cukes is i don't always see them till they're huge, and then some i don't even see till they turn yellow!! hahaha chickens love those!! i split them in half and they hollow em out till there are holes in them!!! so if my chickens eat it i don't always consider it waste, less i have to buy!

i think i might be pregnant... made more last night..

i canned them long term this time... a quart of chips and a quart of spears.. i also made a pint of quick fridge style with the left over chips..

and when i can them i add a little pickle crisp to it because i like them to stay crunchy. and since nascar made yesterday kyle busch day because he drove the 8 and the 18.. 8/18..

and then there was one.... hahahaha next up i wanna try my hand at some dill relish!!!!!

REGULARSEASONFINALE is the 10 point code for August
Man, what a grind from 8K to 9K! Feels like I'm stuck on 8500 for weeks now.

Seems like the field is set aside from maybe Preece or Kez taking SVG's spot. SVG seems vulnerable there since Bubba will have Toyota help and the Fords are coming together.
SVG is better than half the filed on ovals already but not too sure about super speedways

Nice work on the pickles!!! TG34 approved!!!

ah thanks man... another ten!!! i hear ya bro it feels like a snail pace all of a sudden.. i thought maybe we'd get a 25 steak on fantasy last week but nope.. and only two check ins each week is a drag... time for these teams to get back to work!!!!!

i feel like yesterday was the last regular season race where you had a chance to perform to get points. i really liked the extra horsepower, seems like nascar is finally catching on that race cars need big engines!!!!
but next week is daytona and really a crap shoot and gamble, and those guys on the bubble won't be able to ride anything out safely.. i predict a crazy finish saturday night with at least one overtime!!!!! it will be boring boring boring and then wham!!!! all kinds of excitement!!!! like a shitty movie with a great ending!! hahahaha

so here's my beef with my local grocery store.. they sell multiple foods with grillo pickles in them but they don't sell the pickle brand itself!!!
mine have been pretty dang good though... last week i was accused of being pregnant.. for lunch i had a pint of pickles and a fork!! hahaha
gotta make more soon, down to a jar and a half!!

.

i'm still working out the details yet but we're back in black baby!!!!!!

it's gonna need some more mods i think but i figure no matter what happens i can always still use it the way i was in the past if i ever go back to sip, and that would be my plan b if vegging in hydro doesn't pan out.
i might raise the deck up a couple inches to make it taller

for the first victim... ooops i mean try, i have this trop cherry still kickin it.. about two weeks old now. just lucas racing and hygrozyme. same recipe as i'm using in the other system.

006.JPG

i picked up a cheap ph monitor for ease of mind really... the probe looks like a green vibrator!!! hahaha the ph seemed accurate right out of the box but the ec is off by a bunch. theres a calibration but i haven't messed with it at all.. got it mainly for the ph anyway. i'll put it in the manifold when i set it all up. it has wifi and an app.. apple and droid.. landscape and portrait!!! i saw the one you recently bought, i chose this different one on purpose so we can compare two different cheapos..

it's really fun building!!!! i wish i could just travel around from house to house just building grow rooms!!!

I like how hydro and technology work together and we get little insight that soil pretty much hides from us unless you're some sort of plant whisperer.

It may actually be for the best the grocery store doesn't have the Grillos Pickles.
HEB price gouges here so I only buy them at Costco where I get a large plastic jar for $6 while HEB sells a half size for $8 but keeps it next to the Boars Head deli and other expensive stuff. Costco has always treated it like just another cold pickle product and never jacked up the pricing.

As I scrolled the paint schemes I was all same same same nothing special, kinda ugly really, that's okay, then BOOM!
#34 on the door but #1 in my heart, The Hot Pickle Car is on track this weekend!!!!

IDK what it is about that scheme but I love me some green, orange, and red flames on a race car. Seems to make my rc a little faster too!


I sent in a request for 150 points and got it!!! Actually got 188 for the tier bonus!
It was over the newsletter. I saw I didn't have the badge so figured I must not have the points either even though I signed up. About an hour later I got an email and 188 so now I'm at 8792.
Did some calculations and the road to 15K is there for me as long as I don't miss anything and make some more merch buys. It looked a few hundred short but I should be able to get that thru trivia and fantasy each week.
I haven't done any of the auctions of raffles. Just straight collecting to get that 15 and a free garage experience then next year I'll save again and wave the green flag for qualifying at COTA 2028. That would be nuts and I wonder if I would get to keep the flag.
But I want that garage experience so damn bad I can taste it. $600 value on that fucker and I've come so close to buying it but didn't because I wanted this challenge to get it.

EDIT: BTW, can you log into Tinkercad?
I haven't been able to for days and just ended up creating a new account and now I'm back in.

i'm surprised there is not more special wraps this race... last regular season, night race!!! the 34 is definitely the best looking one!!! the 7 and 1 car look cool too..

i need to look and see if nascar rewards has those keychains that they had last year. i got one and then liked it and there were no more when i went back. i'd like to get four or five more of those!!! was thinking of buying some now. i'm not really saving for anything specific at the moment.

i haven't been to tinkercad in a couple weeks now and just logged in right now... you must not be the only one man, they have an announcement header on the top of the page.. i'd try that account again man.
