Stoney's Luv Shack

Last I heard still working on it.

I think the more natural setting is like my standup tower. I think it would avoid wind burn. Just a guess.
I was going to employ a tower fan for air circulation but decided the desktop oscillator mounted on the roof was a better option although the tower could pull double duty as below and above canopy air circul;ation.
 
Great race but wow lots to unpack after yesterday!
So...as we know, Hamlin is a punk ass chump and had to make sure we all knew it yesterday just in case there were any doubters
Everybody has road rage
NBC stepped up and actually had a pretty good broadcast
Dillion throws his helmet like his name is Chantazz
Pocono is a gorgeous track venue
If Preece and Lajoie ever fight in a steel cage match I'm taking Preece
Sucks for Larson and I liked him making fun of Hamlin and dropping a S bomb but go ahead and let a few F bombs fly on national tv Kyle, we can handle it and he deserves to let it out.
Suarez is a conspiracy theorist on the track and did he really call the rest of the field "Squirrels"? We were laughing about that all evening and it's made it's way into our daily vocabulary:ROFLMAO:
I like the crew chief change on the 14. A lot more chatter on the scanner and the discussions remind me a lot of the #5 team. Sounds like they've wiped their data clean and are starting from scratch in races now, like they were working with bad info all year.. It has it's growing pains but they're building something special on the 14 team
I miss anything?😋
 
Good info man.(y)
I know I already dislike that external power supply. Outlet real estate has become real tight with all the winches and stuff I put in. My light mover uses that same type of plug and yep it takes two spaces or I plug it in on the end of a power strip. I'm gonna have to add another power strip.

I'll be really curious if they work with the ACI controller even though my vivos won't be on a controller at least for now since I can get to them

i don't have one to try but from what i read, no they don't communicate. the vivosun uses a standard usb c cord for comms and the infinity has a different pinout. same connector, just different pinout. so with a little soldering and heat shrink you could make them all talk with each other.

from what i read people like the vivosun controller and app much better. oscillation is controlled via controller and app on the vivosun too..

the one fan i have with a wall wart and it's no biggie for me... but a few of them and i wouldn't like it. if it burns up i'll replace it with a laptop type power supply that has wire on both sides of the xformer.

but if you buy a special strip just for the vivosun make sure it's a normal orientation because vivosun is sideways. I have a power strip with the outlets already sideways to help with normal wall warts then i get this fan and the plug is sideways!!! grrr..

one cord i use sometimes to beat the warts are these one foot cords...they make the wart more of a dongle instead of taking up room at the outlet..

dongle!!!!

and just so i can get in the other funny word you like,,,,, the other day i was having issues on my printer so i changed out the nozzle and now it's all good again!!! it was clogged a little just above the nozzle... three colors of filament came out of it when i cleaned it!!!!


there, now i got in dongle and nozzle in the same post!!!!! :ROFLMAO:

I agree. I get that you want a more natural, varying wind but I'm not sure how much more beneficial that would be versus a constant wind speed. I bought a 10" fan oscillator for the 5 x 5 and I plan on changing the wind speed every couple days manually so no need for the automation but it is nice to have.

Are you running the ACI Controller 69 Pro Wifi? I've heard they have some issues with fans or did they fix that issue?

no sir, i don't have a controller for either brand at all. both my fans are in the doorway so it's very ez for me to reach them. not sure if i'll get a controller down the road or not, it would only be for cool factor though.

Last I heard still working on it.

I think the more natural setting is like my standup tower. I think it would avoid wind burn. Just a guess.

the lower speeds it fluctuates down to i would agree it would prevent wind burn. but the setting makes the fan travel all the speeds and anything above six is way too much in my space so i'm afraid if i turned this feature on it could cause wind burn... not taking the chance, i have it on a nice movement right now and i'm not sure what speed number it is but i just watch the plants and i really like having the option of so many speed settings.

yeah you pretty much covered it all!!!

i'm sure hamlin isn't getting a xmas card from larson this year. i never heard larson so mad before, he was pretty mad and i'm glad cliff daniels said something to him at the end so he didn't do anything stupid. but i think that ruined their friendship. but fuck it, who wants friends like that anyway!!! sucks for the rest of hamlins team though, they had to stay in the poconos last night with the locals while bitch ass hamlin flys out!!!

and yeah man the poke your nose is a sweet sweet area... it will never be commercialized there and it is always a beautiful place to vacation. winters can get pretty rough up there but still gorgeous country!! i inherited my grandfathers house up there in bear creek and it's one of the nicest places on the planet bro!!!! wildlife for miles and miles!!!!

and i'm not sure if they showed it or not i didn't watch the prerace stuff but that race track is all green energy and gets it's power from panels. and they don't even add emissions to cut the lawn where the panels are... they have sheep!!!

and yeah dillion needs to reach out to tony stewart on helmet throwing lessons!!!!!!!!!!!

i really like the 14's new crew chief, i was listing in to their radio yesterday and really enjoyed the communication they have with each other already!!!

but bro i totally missed the squirrely comment.... i'll look on the tube later.

i didn't watch much at the end, i think i was more bitter than larson even was... i went out and mowed the lawn. this was mow number four on the year, i'm a true slacker when i comes to grass. but i only burn gallons a month for lawn, these fuckers around me are using huge mowers and cutting four to five times a month... it doesn't help the earth having all the useful grass and then pumping pollution in the air just to keep it looking perfect!!!

i didn't do much to the grow at all. i got the material for the drip tray and put it together without making any mistakes so now i have a piece left over big enough to make a second tray for the other cabinet!! i din't put it in place yet i was kind of waiting for these pedestals for under the plants so the pots weren't just sitting on smooth plastic and i didn't want to take a chance on any runoff pooling under them at all. so i picked up a six pack of these...

DSCN0790.JPG

if it works out i may be able to "slide" the plants out at harvest making almost as ez as the turntable. i'll post up some pics later after i take all that nasty plastic sheeting out and pull down the duct tape!!!

when i set the tray in it hurt my eyes it was so bright... i was like uhhh turn your lights down ya fart nozzle!!!

DSCN0793.JPG

i put some lumber under the plywood to try and angle it towards the front right corner and i have a few inches of space to the floor so i could easily print something that could funnel from the tray to a catch jug, only if i need to though i'd rather not put any holes in it, it's brand new!!

DSCN0799.JPG

i was able to use my welder to heat up the sides and bend them up on all four sides so the only seams i have are in the corners so it was pretty ez to seal up. i was actually very shocked how ez this was to make. you can see i had runoff sitting in the saucers by the dirt ring... that's no good. so now i should be good especially with the pedestals to lift them up an inch. btw, they don't slide.:(

so now we got bigger lights....

When did you start doing work for the Department of Forestry Dude? Holy smokes!!!o_O
So they went ahead and S1'd GG#4? Those dirty rotten sumbitches know how to get us don't they?

Your tray came out tits Man. I saw these potting mats on Amazon and meant to show you but you made something way better than these things


Great call on the risers too! I often forget and take for granted the drain channels in my trays but yeah gotta keep those feet up off the floor.
And yep I gotta few of those 1' dongles hahaha! Using one on my Ruck fan now since I made it's cord super short. With the 1 foot dongle it's just long enough now.

But yeah man Suarez is a weird dude. I think he was just rattled after being in a 180mph wreck but in his interview after being released from the infield care center he thought he was in the back of the pack with the "squirrels" and got intentionally wrecked. But he was actually in the middle of the pack, cars around him were trying to avoid the wreck happening in front of them, I think it was the Logano wreck, and he got bumped and collected. Nothing intentional but he just thought it happened another way.
And speaking of Logano...The driver of that tow truck fucked his ride up dragging it around like that!!! He was all crying on the radio, "They're tearing my nose off!" hahahaha!!!

yeah you know greenpoint is gonna mix that gg4 with everything they have next... i've been proud of myself i haven't looked at an auction in over a week!!! i gotta use that coupon soon though!!! hehe

ya know if i didn't make that tray i would have bought one of those mats... seems better than the thin sheeting i had. anything is better than doing it that way!! and man i'm so glad i went with the risers too and even more so today... turns out the plants are much easier to move around with the lifts, spins really smooth too. it helped quite a bit today when i gave them a well overdue trimming. looking closely at your tray is made me want to get those risers to begin with. your trays design is also why i tilted the whole thing to one corner because it looks like all your drain veins lead to that sump on your tray and I really wanted to achieve the same principle of nothing pooling under the containers and also having all the spills go to one dedicated spot on the tray where a plant doesn't sit. so i feel i tricked my setup into believing it has those same features.

so yeah i trimmed all this off tonight....

DSCN0805.JPG

now you can see the forest through the trees sort of speak....

DSCN0804.JPG

that really seemed to help with them not being so squashed in, they seem to have some room to breathe now and should help them out growing forward. i know it sure does give the new fans a better fighting chance!!!

DSCN0807.JPG

hey i wanted to ask you did you notice the oscillation is louder from the vivosun than the infinity? almost seems like the infinity is quieter overall even the fan part. on high they're both noisy but on lower speeds the vivosun seems to make more noise on mine. idk.. noise means friction which means wear. so i might change my mind and get another infinity instead.

.
.
i looked for the suarez interview but could only find the secondary one, not the nbc one... but yeah lagayno totally deserved that!!!! maybe if he would have been just a little more respectful of the crew trying to help him they would have cared more!!!

it was like a bubba tantrum!!!! hahahahahaha


usually drivers don't get so mad at pocono, not this year!!!


and now bring on short track richmond,,, they'll be swinging jack handles at each other like the old days!!!!

Nice and clean in the nether regions!

I tilt my tray as well. At one end is a 2"x4" the same width of the tray to lift one end up then I use three aluminum rails to support the tray. If there's a lot of run off it all goes down to the sump part of the tray and I pick it up with the shop vac if it's a lot. But if it's just a light film of water it dries up pretty fast.

The Vivo is a little louder I agree. Also slower on the oscillation but it could be since I have mine on it's side going up and down.
So far it's a toss up. I like both and each has a little something better than the other but yeah I think the ACI has a slight edge. Vivo controller does look better though.
I think a good duel is what I have going with the two vertical fans. They're both being used in ways I'm sure Vivo and ACI would not approve but it's thru grow room abuse we find out what holds up. Not gonna beat the shit out of these fans but what I need them to do outweighs company ideas on how to use them. Which ever vertical dies first will likely decide for me but if both hold up for three or more years after what I put them thru I'll consider both to be pretty darn good little fans.

I think desperation is setting in for a lot of teams and each week it just gets more intense. Like the playoffs have already begun!
Gonna be a wild weekend!!

man the plants loved their new down there care i gave em. all kinds of girly parts shootin out!!!

i put in some longer stripper poles in so i can get more air movement under their skirts. but even at normal position the infinity is faster oscillation than vivosun about twice as fast..

DSCN0814.JPG

the new fans brought down my rh a little better too... and yeah, that's the best co2 i'm gonna get here.

Man pizza does sound great today!!!!
I don't really feel like going out in this heat and manning the oven so I may have to order Conan's. And hell yeah on the anchovies and in fact, throw a little xtra on there too.:cool:
But you can't have a pizza party and forget the ice cream🤪.....

Always a spot at my table 4 U. Finished all the books. Mind blown beyond belief, so powerful after seeing the show. It is a must read.

very kind of you sir!

ya know i've been meaning to tell you that i downloaded the first one in an e-book format! i gotta download a reader on my phone so i can maybe get into it sometime.

man you're killing it on the ice cream this summer!!!! i'm ashamed of the ice cream i have in the freezer right now... i've been on an anti sugar kick for a few months now and all i have is this no sugar added vanilla.... diets only last so long!!!!

so you guys have been posting the pizzas and masking me so hungry!!! well i finally got mine!!! and i took pics so maybe i can return the favor and make you guys jelly!!!

it all starts with my favorite part, stretching the dough!!! any of you cats daring enough to spin it in the air? not me... i tried once..

DSCN0818.JPG

then comes the herbs and sauce... a little garlic powder too!!

DSCN0819.JPG

next ya smother it in cheese... 85% mozz and 15% cheddar!!!

DSCN0820.JPG

then the toppings!!! classic mushroom and pepperoni this round, and more herbs!!!

DSCN0822.JPG

oil the crust good and set the oven for 420...

DSCN0824.JPG

wait 25 minutes,,,, and done!

DSCN0826.JPG

i normally put on way more pepperoni but i didn't have any pre sliced and i had run all my luck out on the finger remover 2000 so this is what we got!!

DSCN0827.JPG

and i still have all my fingers!!!!!!!! it was a good day!!!

Double damny whammy!!!😋

Love the 3D printer work on the funnel too man. I made a watering can with xtra long snout for watering airpots that have plants with leaves covering the soil surface. It's like almost every hurtle can be solved with a 3D printer :alien:

Take it ez Buddy and happy hump day! First day of Fall camp here so I'll be grinding but still lurking for the next few weeks. August just sucks bro. Long days, late nights, cereal and sandwiches for dinner but every day is one day closer to the next vacation!!

Which reminds me...If you had never been to either, which would you pick...New Hampshire or Pocono?

And you won't believe this but for the first time in many years I'm skipping the OU game in favor of playoff racing at Fort Worth. Last year was rough driving up for the race then going back the next week for the game so this year we're just doing the race. So yeah I think I'm addicted brother. First it was Chicago just to see a race and now cancelling a football game in favor of a race.
And to think it all started with you talking about Larson and racing then one day us deciding to go to COTA to see wth ol Stoney's talking about.
Life hasn't been the same since :cool:

that's the turbo funnel!!!!! haha i remember when they first came out on tv, i think i paid full price for two of them once... now i print one out for 0.51¢ :D

bro i was so hoping you were still on vaycay.. well keep hydrated man! i saw last month arizona was the highest recorded temperature in any state ever. and you ain't far from there so i can't even fathom the heat you endure. we just ended a month long heat wave ourselves.. you're gonna laugh at me but it was in the low 90's EVERYDAY!!! for me that's hot, i get grumpy over 88* so july sucked a little. sunday the heat broke and i don't think it went above 80 that day... it's 61 out right now in the middle of the night... windows open, house fan on!!!

well i'd probably pick new hampshire but that's only because i never been there. plus it could be fun to piss off an entire state making fun of the 22!!!! hahaha but pocono is awesome from the infield if you have a big bus to stand on, other than that all you get is the start finish and pits, you can't see turn one or turn three, the infield you normally can see one and two and not three or pits at all. the family area gets the tunnel turn three but can't see the rest of the track at all. and the side boards suck there they only show like the top five if i remember.. almost better to watch on tv.

NH is a much smaller track and i bet you can see almost the whole thing from the stands. but i never been, i was to new england dragway four times though. only about a five hour drive from here.

what you thinkin of maybe seeing one at either next year? if so man, i'd love to go with ya, which ever one you choose i'd be down.

man nascar got in your blood quick!!! i've seen it happen a bunch!! like 30 years ago i started dating cindy and she lived with her older brother and one sunday i show up with a cooler of beer and took over his remote and talladega was on, he asked why are those cars going faster... i explained the draft and that was it he was hooked from that second on... the very next day we're out on the highway drafting tractor trailers in his neon!!! hahaha

he roots for anyone with a funny name.. dick trickle, buckshot jones, greg biffle... he loved those guys!!!!

but yeah nascar over the OU game.. that's saying something there!!!!!! that's not the world fair trip is it?

two of the tall branches on the front zangria were out of control and affecting how high i had to raise the lights to give them coverage and it wasn't working for me so i gave them both the ol kink a roo... and tied em over with a printed clip, like ya say anything is possible with a 3d printer..

it leveled the canopy much better and i should be ready for the distance now...

i also noticed i had some gnats!! got em on the tanglefoot!!

check this one out bro, it caught the bug on a piece of hair stuck to it upside down in mid air... how cool is that?!?!?!

DSCN0867.JPG

so i hung a few more. i only printed five so i think i might want more...

but yeah nascar over the OU game.. that's saying something there!!!!!! that's not the world fair trip is it?

.

two of the tall branches on the front zangria were out of control and affecting how high i had to raise the lights to give them coverage and it wasn't working for me so i gave them both the ol kink a roo... and tied em over with a printed clip, like ya say anything is possible with a 3d printer..

it leveled the canopy much better and i should be ready for the distance now...

i also noticed i had some gnats!! got em on the tanglefoot!!

View attachment 16311

check this one out bro, it caught the bug on a piece of hair stuck to it upside down in mid air... how cool is that?!?!?!

View attachment 16313

so i hung a few more. i only printed five so i think i might want more...

View attachment 16314

great bug stuff!!!!!!!!!!!! works for mice too!!!!

keep cool man, stay in the shade!! :cool:

That's pretty much the same way I control stretch on my ladies with the net and lightning hook. Hey it works and that's all that matters!!!😉

I've been really lucky on bugs but have a new can of the spray on tanglefoot. I ran out of the paint on version and got the spray being really curious but haven't had to use it yet. Which I don't mind at all hahaha!

Yeah I'm kicking around some ideas for next year. Funny you said NH because that was my first choice thought too. I bet they sell lobster rolls at that race! I know, I'm always thinking of food pairings with my travel.🙃
That's funny about liking drivers with funny names because that's how I pretty much picked Briscoe from the lineup. It reminded me of brisket.🤣
Yeah that's state fair OU game. Yep. Deep fried lobster and other delicacies....turkey legs...yelling OU sux every 5 minutes...all of it on the shelf this year.😲
Last year was just brutal. The race was like 5 hours long and TMS was a screaming hot skillet that day. Then 5 days later we did it again going to the game. It's a 5 hour round trip drive I'm not very fond of either.
Plus we've been to that game so many times for so many years a break will be nice and maybe we'll miss it again, who knows. I'll save some cash on hotel and fair spending and just enjoy the weekend on my sofa watching the game.

Man you hear about Gragson? He might be getting the Larson treatment over some stupid shit. My guy liked an offensive pic on IG and cancel culture is coming for his head. Legacy suspended him and also leaked he may not be with the team next year.
In a way, I'm not mad about that because they may have changed the name but that organization still sucks ass. I felt he was an odd fit there but it is Cup and not many rides to go around so take one when it's offered. And the social media shit is just a stupid and lazy excuse to drop the hammer on the guy. Over a fucking "like" FFS. This thin skinned, Charmin soft era of humanity is garbage. Like jackoffs have nothing better to do than look at pics online and dig into who likes them then try to dox that person. WTF?????🤬

Fucking heat is no joke this year man. 27 days of over 100 now and no rain. Usually 106 and it's just brutal. Can't do shit outside after 10am. Everything wilted and sun stroked. Just harsh dude. Drinking tons of water and eating very light.
Trying my drinkables every night and man that Dixie is on the nasty side. Decent high but that shit tastes like pure syrup going down.
So far I'd rank Loud and the RWB as the best. Dixie is ok but way too sweet and this other thing I got called Squeeze is a good high but gross and weird to use.
Ya know it's weird. I can hit a 90% THC cart and drink a 100mg bottle of fucker upper juice and it will get me very high, but an old school mid 20ish THC % rolled fatty gets me fucking stoned. Funny how that works.🥴
Anyways...back to the grind.
Have a great weekend and good luck to you in the pool too! I got the 3 and he's more desperate than a 40 year old virgin right now so maybe this week he can help me out a bit.🤞
 
spray on tanglefoot?!?!?! ooooh it sounds like i could make one hell of a mess with that!!! just spray the grow room walls!!! hahaha

but yeah man that is really saying something you skipping the fair.. you'll save a ton of cash though... and just think you won't have to pay the hotel extra to get the weed smell out!!!! hahahaha still to this day though bro the best one i ever heard was when your wife cleaned the desk thinking there was spilled milk the weed was so rancid smelling!!! i've been trying to find a strain like that ever since!!! ha!

man you got me hungry for lobster rolls,,, last trip i took up north i ate seven of them,,, in only four days!!! so much butter.. :D

the start of the race was pretty exciting, some unexpected teams having troubles... i didn't get to watch the second half from today yet. i'll watch it tomorrow. we had a pretty shitty morning, had to bury a good friend that lost the good fight to cancer last thursday. so by time we got home and then i took care of a few chores i just wasn't feeling it. then a big storm ripped through and knocked the power out anyway so i'm kinda glad i didn't get into the race. power came back on and i checked out the plants and both fans were back on!!

wait till y'all see my plants... cotton tops everywhere!!! must be a hundred of em!!! so i've already decided a few things about the next round. i won't be going back to sip buckets and cages, i've never seen so many buds in my cabinet!!!

i busted out my tea brewer a few days ago, then i remember why i didn't use it more often... i messed up the design and it's painfully slow to empty it out. so i ordered a few new fittings and i'm going to revamp the whole thing and make it better. but the plants got a good watering of compost tea and they loved it!!! i watered em again the next day and had runoff for the first time in the new tray and my boards angling it worked great, all the water ran right to the corner and was super ez to suck up.

i also topped all the containers off with some fertilized soil so they should absorb that in soon too. and i ordered two more fans, i went with the vivosun pretty much came down to $37 vs $55. i needed one more for the flower cab and i needed one for my veg cab because i'm gonna start the next round in a couple weeks.

for some reason i can't post pics so i'll try tomorrow...

stay in the shade brother!!!!!!!! :cool:

Ahh man dang. Sorry for your loss Buddy. Like ol Diesel Farmer used to say, Fuck Cancer.🤬

Yeah it looks like we broke the server. It seems nobody can load pics right now. Hopefully they get it fixed cuz I wanna see that bud porn!!

I won't spoil the race for ya but it was a good one. Well not good for the 14 or the 8 but watching the 8 go behind the wall and cry early was pretty good.🤣
Man I've been on a lobster roll tear since Vegas. Had an awesome one out there and have had one just about every week since. How you like 'em...cold with mayo or warm with butter?
If I make them I actually like a little bit of slaw in there so I go cold with a squirt of lemon or lime and the coleslaw. Yummy! Like if a lobster roll and fish taco had a baby, that's I make. If I add pico de gallo then it's almost like a lobster ceviche roll.

Yep..'nother scorcher today. And it's the first day in full pads :devilish:

Thanks brother man, and yeah mrs. DF and diesel were both in my thoughts over the past few days along with some others that lost that fight. i'll never forget my buddy Joe and he'll probably be in my heart at every concert i go to. i've seen a lot of bands with him and it'll be tough to see that first one without him. like forrest gump says, thats about all i have to say about that!
.
.

ah man you can keep your cabbage n slaw.. but yeah, cold lots of mayo, a squirt of thick hot sauce and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar!!!! hot and buttered is pretty good too though... hahaha almost no wrong way for me bro. yep, my mouth is watering now!!!

i got a few left over fried shrimp sitting on the counter... i might fake myself out and pretend it's a lawwwstaaw roll!!! hahaha

.
.

just got done watching the second half... man the first half was way better and it should have ended there!!! that is so messed up with gragson.. and then he was forced to humiliate himself in a comment. this society needs to wake da fuck up, so ridiculous. i hope he lands a better job than those ass hats... be cool if he was harrison burton's teammate with the wood brothers!!

but man FRK again?!?!? buesher lightin it up!! kinda impressive right before the playoffs...

and what is up with kyle larson's new haircut?!?! looks like ricky stenthouse!!! hahaha

.
.

got my new fans today so now i have airflow across all six plants and not just four and a half. still dealing with the stretch though almost and inch a day yet and tomorrow starts week four!! i don't have much room left in the winches so i hope there about settled in and ready to frost up!! once this round is done i'm going to remove the turntable instead of just covering it up, that should give me and extra three of four inches. and with four inches more i wouldn't even be talking about this right now. not worried yet, just noticing it.

but yeah man all ren and stimpy here!!!

DSCN0901.JPG

so i think i may have accidentally mixed up a couple seeds, i'm not sure but it looks weird how the rear corner plants look more similar to each other and the two front corner plants look more similar to each other... the back two are much shorter and the same as each other... i don't know if i mixed em up or not but i really think i'd like to move the plants around quick while i still have the chance... i think i'm going to put the shorter two on one side and the taller on the other then i can adjust to light for more even coverage.

You're walking in high cotton!!
I arrange mine by size going left to right but my space is rectangular and yours looks more square so yeah like 'Roller said, I'd probably go with shorties in the front and taller ladies in the back too.

Yeah that 6 and 17 have been head turners lately. I was thinking it seemed like only Penske Teams know what to do with the Fords to get 'em competitive but RFK has found something. Now if only the SHR Fords would follow that blueprint we might get a win!

Yeah all this lobster roll talk had me make a Costco run today. I get 2lb bags of these guys for $28 and use them for my rolls

IMG_5310.JPG

Langostino tastes a lot like Maine lobster but are the size of a prawn. Just about as perfect a lobster substitute out there so for things like rolls, lobster mac & cheese, they make a nice choice without the high price tag on the meal.
Gonna thaw some for some cold rolls tonight after work. No slaw but I do have some celery I'll chop up and add to it.
Only thing that sucks around here is the actual roll. I can only find regular hot dog buns split down the side. No split tops and I've been wanting to recreate Chicago dogs too but no poppy seed buns here either. Everything is brioche around here which isn't bad but dang, have some choices FFS!
Texas Toast makes for a nice roll or bun. I like to coat both sides with mayo and put it on the griddle it to toast it up
 
Texas toast(the frozen garlic bread) makes a killer grilled cheese.

Man Ive eaten lobster probably every way possible but will always choose a good Maine roll. Warm or cold dont care, just dont complicate it and I'm happy.
It's been so long since I've had that frozen kind but yeah it's so good!!!
IDK if Y'all get it around other parts of the country but down here there's two Texas Toasts...the frozen kind with cheese or garlic and the fresh baked loaf which is just like your average loaf of white bread but cut thick so each slice is about 2" thick.
We don't use it for sandwich bread but for things like a patty melt, single slice bun roll, and French toast it's usually the top choice in bread to use around here.

texas toast.jpg
 
I'd move the shorties to front for ease and to be able to watch them better.
Killer grow, lots of buds coming your way~!👊

thanks Steam!! yeah i felt if i didn't move them now i might not be able to later so i went for it. i was very surprised how strong they seemed while moving them around.

i opted for putting the shorties under one light and the tall two under the other. i started with the two shorts up front but realized i can reach right over it so i figured if i need to access the shorty in the back i still can. and i ended up gaining a couple inches on the headroom adjusting them around. and i got all three fans set up so i feel ready!!!

DSCN0910.JPG

kinda glad i moved them because i found that the pot risers i used were pooling up in the center cup so i drilled them out before i put em back in...

DSCN0909.JPG

they're drinking about a 1/2 a gallon a day and starting to want a little more than that so i'm gonna start with three quarts each tomorrow. and wow do they suck it up quick too, as fast as i can pour it from the turbo funnel!!! hehe

but yeah, plants are chillin and happy!!! hehe

wow thats not a bad price at all man, i'd pay that!!

i hear ya on the rolls man, they gotta be super soft and melt when you bite them.

man i'd freeze some of those, toss em in corn starch and air fry em, put em in a hot biscuit and cover it with light champagne gravy!!! who needs the fair when you got that!!!!!

man i gotta see if i can get some of those around here, they'd be awesome to have a stash in the freezer to add to stuff in a pinch.. like ya said mac n cheese!!!

ooooh the fried biscuit & wiz!!!!!!! ah yeah baby!!!!
.
.

you know RFK is cheating though right?!?! hahahaha the only thing they figured out is how to not get caught!!! jack roush is the king of cheating... they don't call him the ol cat in the hat for nothing!!! i remember when he had lead rolls that looked like duct tape. each one weighed 75lbs... they would have two or three rolls on the car rolling on the scales, nobody ever even knew it... he got away with that for years and years.. it came out when they started using a lazer to confirm bodys, he couldn't leave the duct tape on anymore so they admitted to it.. cat in hat, snake in that hat... all cheatin!!!! hehehehe


Texas toast(the frozen garlic bread) makes a killer grilled cheese.

Man Ive eaten lobster probably every way possible but will always choose a good Maine roll. Warm or cold dont care, just dont complicate it and I'm happy.

i like to slather a thick layer of buffalo chicken dip in the grill cheese.... i think its a disney recipe if i'm not mistaken. like grill cheese crack!!

ewww, i never had frozen toast... it's kinda ez to make so i think i'll stick to the fresh!!!

there's a steak shop on south st. in philly that makes texas toast from their rolls then they fill it with steak and onions topped with sauce n cheese of coarse!!! one of my favorite places!!!

Patty melt mmm. I miss Waffle House. And sweet tea being everywhere.

i never been to a waffle house... there is one in my town and everybody says it's one of the best ones there is but i personally never went. when i was a youngin we hung out at the perkins.

love me some good hardees sweet tea... half gallons at the drive thru!!!

Amen. 2 eggs scrambled, hash browns smothered covered, bacon and a side pecan waffle. Favorite breakfast on the planet.
View attachment 17059

now fresh eggs we got here anytime... can't remember the last time i had an egg that wasn't layed that day!!!!

but what is it smothered and covered in? gravy? jelly? ketchup?

Never been to a Waffle House? How's that even possible?:oops:
And man it's been decades since I heard of a Perkins hahaha!
So here's the deal..Waffle House #1, Denny's #2, Ihop and everybody else #3🙃
The funny thing about waffle house is I've never had a waffle there. Always hashbrowns, scrambles, or some type of patty melt or burger. All best enjoyed around 2-5am after a good night of partying.
And yeah there's a code to ordering topping for your hashbrowns....Scattered is the base. Smothered is grilled onions. Covered is with cheese. Chunked is ham. Diced is grilled tomatoes. Peppered is with jalapenos. Capped comes with mushrooms. Topped is with chili. And country is with sausage gravy.

And IDK if you've ever heard of it but there's a Waffle House Index used by many to gauge severity of a storm like a tornado or hurricane.
WH is open 24/7 365 so if one closes you know the storm is really bad. But if it's still open then you gauge severity by the menu. Green is full menu. Yellow is limited menu and red menu is kitchen is closed. WH also deploys specialized training and teams for fast reopenings after storms so if you wanna know how bad a weather disaster is, check in on what's happening at the local Waffle House 🤣

They fix your meal right in front of you with nowhere to hide anything and as a cook I'll always admire that, no matter the joint. I like the food and late night flying chairs too.
 
When I was driving through Ft. Stockton, Texas we stopped at K-Bobs steakhouse and had the best damn Chicken Fried Steak I've ever had.

ya know i too had the best chicken fried steak of my life in texas as well, can't remember the name of the place but i think it was somewhere close to houston... i wanna say pappa something.. there were to papa restaurants i went to there one was a seafood joint and the other a steakhouse i think... been almost 15 years since then.

nope, never... and it's less than ten minutes from my house too!!!! hahaha been to a denny;s a few times, went to one in japan quite a few times but there were no moons over my hami there!!! hahaha it's all about the perkins around here, hell we got two of em within a half hour!!!

now how can ya go to a place called waffle house and not try a waffle?!?!? cool beans talking about that pecan waffle sounded pretty good!!!

i have heard of that storm rating, i didn't know it was wh though.. we never get storms big enough to close places so i bet they never closed. i think they're even open on xmas!! but nah that WH just opened about 20 years ago, if it had been open when i was a youngin we would been throwing chairs with the best of them!!! haha

i went to a stucky's one time for breakfast.... never ever do that!!!!!

Right?! Ive lived in New York or Maine my entire life and even i have been to Waffle House, and i live under a rock!

I gotta deal with dennys or ihop up here tho, 😑

nope never... never been to an ihop either... don't think i would though, don't like pancakes and that place just creeps me out!! haha

i might try the waffle house one day since you guys are making out to be a bucket list place.

waffle house has open cooking? oh i might really go and try it now... i remember the H light was out for over a year so i called it the waffle oos!! hahaha

made a small project tonight.. put together a tea brewer. i used most of the plumbing from my old brewer so all i needed to buy was a four way tee ( i could have used two regular tees but ya know, YOLO!!) and i bought the rubber reducer to connect the bottle to the tee, and the bottle i found picking up litter a couple years ago, and the corrugated pipe i found dumpster diving a while back collecting pipe for my pond for fish caves. i couldn't get the caulking they used on it off so i never used it for the pond. so i think this whole thing cost me $9 out of pocket.

DSCN0915.JPG

this was the test run but i plan to put the air pump inside the pipe so the heat from it warms the tea up.

DSCN0916.JPG

I'm pretty happy with it and i think it turned out slicky ricky!! had to include the 3d printer somehow so i make a bunghole cork/silencer...
