I don't know why but my body clock has always hated the time change, particularly the fall-back change

I don't know when to eat, when to have my 2:00 a.m. coffee because it's not really 2:00 a.m., so how can I have my 2:00 a.m. coffee now?

It's always been an issue. I thought they were going to stop this nonsense a few years ago? 😡

Still going! This could be the one that burns till spring, added the last split at 6:00 a.m. cuz it's going to hit 60° today

Gonna rekindle it at sundown, if I can't then tonight's fire will be the one!

We have another 50° day Saturday but I probably would just keep it going then.

This is big for me, it's like a druid and an equinox, I've saved a picture of every fire I've lit that burned until the spring since fall of 22! (I dont know why?)

Just noticed a little bit of painting I want to get done today, few other things to put away and winterize, so I'm about done

with a fan blowing across the coils it should cool my box and with a drip pan I should be able to turn off and on to cool with a timer or thermometer, I have timers. Humidity may be an issue but a small dehue might help, I have one, it ain;t worth shit in a large space but in a 3x3 box it may do. I just want to run this past you before I buy off amzone1762190970193.png
 
It's 80° in here 🥵

41° out, 46° for a high today

Wind gusts 45 to 50 mph 🍂

Light snow possible early Friday

Creosote remover came yesterday but I haven't used it yet cuz there's not enough of a fire going now

Heating with wood is about balance, the first year all I did was set off smoke detectors, and not just one, sometimes half the house 🤣

Sadly I don't think this is my permanent fire, I'm letting it go out now and it's going to be mid 50s Saturday so....😕 This is the latest I've ever lit my permanent fire.

Just got back from voting, I was aware of two questions I didn't know there was a third 🤣 so I didn't brint my glasses but I got through it

The first two questions were the important ones anyway, #1 offered some reform of the *clown show that is voting in Maine (*rank choice, no ID, mail-in ballots etc.)

The second question was a gun grab.

Did you see on the national news (the Mockingbird media probably didn't tell you) somebody got 250 blank ballots in their Amazon Order a few weeks ago here in Maine 😡 They were right in the freaking box!

Thank God she reported it although nothing will ever come from it, not with the level of corruption in our current government but at least now we know one of the many ways they're cheating.

I hope you got power back.
Supposed to get 60 mph winds today and the warnings here are out.

Thanks, be safe today! The wind flipped over a work table in the yard!

I woke up about 11:30 and the power had been on for a while, but here's something you don't hear everyday

well actually two things

1) my TV set won't turn back on, it died when the power went out last night. Happened before but I was able to get it to eventually turn on by plugging it in over and over till the power light came on and stayed on but it won't do that now. Walmart's delivering a new one today 🙂

It's an old flat screen I bought when they first came out so that's not that weird but listen to this....

2) So I hung a battery operated Lantern horizontally from my grow light to keep the cycle for the cannabis plants. I looked at them this morning and several of the leaves had withered and died and there was this nasty white gook on some other leaves

Apparently a battery in the lamp had leaked from sitting from last winter. It had dripped straight down onto a plant but fortunately it didn't hit any grow tips just a few leaves which have since been removed

I was scratching my head, I couldn't think what the hell happened but then I realized it had to have something to do with the light that had been hanging right above it and when I opened it sure enough one of the ends of the battery leaked

🤣 👈🏻 this is why I use the manical laughing icon all the time, because if I didn't I'd just freaking scream! 😡😫😡 I'd rather laugh at it all

So I'm thinking my TV's not coming today, it was almost 4:30 so I call Walmart and they say it's coming tomorrow, just as I was about to cancel it and go there I got a text message that they're 3 minutes away

unfortunately the bottom of my road is still torn up like it's been since early September because the bridge they are installing to control the flooding isn't ready to be installed or something, freaking city planner here is terrible I voted against him but he won by a small margin, people having to make the 9 Mile Loop twice a day to go to work for the last Almost 2 months aren't very happy I can tell you that

anyway the poor girl had to drive a 9 Mile loop around the lake, I could see the little car icon on the app they sent me so I doubled her tip for the inconvenience

I set the TV up with a Little Help from the customer service phone number that came with the TV and it's a beautiful picture, I really like it so far, just $88 for a 32" TV !!!

Now I can freaking relax for the first time since this nonsense started last night with a beer and a joint and watch some TV

I don't think I'll ever let mine grow as big as yours are in veg again. I mistakenly flipped my last girls at 3 weeks old / 25 days from seed. They have grown out great, 3 weeks is a bit too young me thinks, but I used to go 6 weeks minimum, I think 4-5 weeks will be max veg time for me now.

These are almost 8 weeks from the seedling stage, I'm thinking I'll flip them Saturday cuz I don't want them too tall. I grew them from this same breeder for a few years in the '90s, White Rhino's wanna be short & bushy indoors.

Nice and healthy, I love the green. They look to be a good size to flip now, I was pleasantly surprised at how well my 25 day vegged plants ended up. 1 Alaska Thunderfuck still reached my lights. The others were perfect for height I could have used a bit more mass on a few in split pots but I think it was root struggles that stunted them with the roots of 2 plants interacting together. Better root isolation would have prevented that I think.

I'm taking your advice & flipping today, they'll come on tonight at 10:00 p.m. and go off tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. I run lights during the coldest part of the day

I like to run my lights when I'm awake and those hours of yours don't cut it for me. I tried it once but nope I let everything go to shit, no time to work on them or to sit and watch them grow...lol. I look at my girls 5-6-7-8 times per day, Its also warm enough for them at night for them it only gets down to 67f. I have to add heat with lights on. The lights themselves and my house heat only get to 73-74f I bump that up to 78 f with a heater or reptile lamp in my veg tent.

I don't spend time with them anymore if honest, I check 'em at lights on and lights off and I work on them early mornings

My grow tent is about as far from the wood stove as you can get so I also have reptile lights, but I think I've only used them a couple times last winter

Running at night I seldom have to add heat, it doesn't drop below 68 very often.

Originally I wanted them done by New Year's but they're going to be a couple weeks behind that but that's all right

I'm thinking of growing a thai or some other sativa in my spring run
 
So I think the fire will go out tomorrow and when I light it tomorrow night that'll be the fire that burns till spring Screenshot_20251107_055932_Weawow.jpgCan't be this one going now anyways cuz I don't have a picture of it being lit.

Every dawn this year I burn hot for at least an hour, and I'm throwing in the creosote powder twice a week as directed, trying to avoid that sticky gook that accumulates at the top cap, cuz I can't be going up on a snowy roof in February to scrape it anymore

Although if I did slide off the roof I'd only fall about 5 ft into a soft mound of snow! When we were kids we used to jump off the porch roof into the piles of snow 🤣 sometimes we sink in so deep we'd be stuck ☃️

Inner city kids like us used to 'ski' by holding on to the back of cars & trucks!🤦🏻 (don't laugh I know some of you did it too!) fun at the time, but we really shouldn't have done that
 
Having been off cannabis boards for almost 4 years a lot has changed, a lot of impressive high-tech automated grows going on, so I figured I'd join the 21st century too!

Now I know the temperature & humidity in four different places! 🤣

The Grow Tent is 74°f with 42% humidity 👌🏻

Bumper skiing, Did it a lot, sometimes when we had enough snow we'd bumper ski the school busses to school. A few of us got wrecked when we hit pavement at 20mph. One buddy broke his arm going around a corner on a ski line in a park we were bumper skiing. Smacked into a burred park bench, we thought it was a hoot as we we're driving him to the hospital. Funny as heck for us, old Gordie wasn't laughing, it was a real cartoon end over ender and smack like a a cartoon cat hitting a wall. I can still chuckle at it, that image forever in my head.

It's a miracle any of us survived the '60s and '70s ...in more ways than one!

I didn't get hurt but my buddy ran me over in my jeep one time bumper skiing.i had a rope hooked up to the back we would go to the state park after a good snow they didn't plow there.i let go of the rope and fell at one point and we were on a hill.so I Pop right up and head down the hill twords him.at the same time he slams it in reverse to come back up the hill twords me. I slammed right into the back of my jeep went down and he rolled over me and my snow board .luckily I missed the tires and he just got my board with the back tires and stopped. 🤣😅😂 I had a big black mark on my face from the filthy gas tank I think.we laughed so hard.

Boards? we didn;t use boards just our feet but ya that's why we were in a park as well, We had about a 1 mile winding road into the park that never got plowed. I can see it like it was yesterday.
