oh thats awesome man.. well not that its that hot but that you don't use the AC anymore!!
i can deal with a hot day, but when it doesn't ever cool down i would struggle with that man, mentally and physically. yeah i'm sure one could get used to it but i don't think i could. and i don't care if it's humid or not, heat is heat to me!
oh they're not!! hahaha, it worked for a day or two and they were right back at em.. they've eaten all the low hangers already, i'll get whats left. it's keeping the tree rats at bay though, haven't seen any fuzzy tails in the tress at all.
there are things i could do to keep the deer away but to be honest we like watching them in yard everyday so if all that takes is a few peaches so be it. all the fawns are running around this time of the year. i've always felt that everything outside even if i put it there belongs to them and the rest of nature. all the inside things belong to us!!! haha
idk, ricky look scrappy!!! hahaha if he still had a mullet i bet he could take him.
so many famous people have said some pretty stupid stuff over the years and nobody even remembers it.. theres just another new idiot in line to say something new and even more stupid... no shortage on stupid people in this world!!! i'm one of em.. my mouth has gotten my ass in trouble more than once in my life!!!
so not that i really care about big bush or anything,, but why does she suck so bad now? when larson was a rookie that dude was unstoppable.. like no matter how bad the car was between him and the crew they could always get it shaped up enough to pull out a top ten. now it seems like he struggles to pull up a top 20.. and it started before she left gibbs... in fact if she was still winning she'd still be at gibbs!!! i don't get it.. is it the new cars? does he suck that bad at aero that he can't make a car build speed.
I'm of the opinion that Busch while talented and definitely driven, has been very over rated beginning with the JGR era and really lucky being in the right place at the right time. This is just pretty much based off the documentary Rowdy and what I've seen since becoming a fan.
I would say the 2022 Bristol Dirt Night Race was the epitome of his career when Reddick and Briscoe were clearly the fastest and best on the track that night but that late over steer by the 14 wrecked them both allowing Busch who was pretty far back in 3rd to get the checker.
There was a trajectory of possibly being the best Cup driver ever, but his time at Hendricks and especially the death of Ricky Hendrick, the one person who could rein him in, broke him and emboldened that Prima Donna, treat everybody like a second class pleb attitude of his.
He was quicker than most to figure out the Gen7 car and get wins as well as RCR in those early days of the new car but now everything has caught up and both that team and driver are middle of the pack good.
He's peculiar to me and I kinda like him the more I've learned because he's the full spectrum of human. He can be a dickhead to co-workers but also very thoughtful and extremely kind and patient with his fans. Had success and failure along the way handling some of it with class and some of it about as stupid as one could handle it.
Watching him race now being humbled having to work with people he's burned bridges with is interesting. It's gotta be hard for both and I respect that because to be able to do that means people have set aside differences in order for the greater good to win a championship. It's coming up well short for that effort and it's there where I won't get mad if he gets a win this year. I was hoping he won at COTA earlier the way he ran that race but just wasn't meant to be.
Yeah not a day goes by where somebody doesn't say something stupid. We all do it but athletes and celebrities get drug when they do it. Words are not an issue for me. It's actions to deny access or service and oppression based off race, sex, handicap, etc where I draw the line at true bigotted behavior.
NASCAR is super fun and exciting but at the same time we're also fans of some dumb ass hicks at times.
There's always somebody tracking every little fucking thing these guys do to try and run with the "See I told you NASCAR is full of nazis!" headline meanwhile that same person will find racism in ways it does not exist. People right now are trying to cancel anybody with the number 88 it's gotten so stupid. Sorry but 88 has been on jerseys and cars long before it became a symbol for hate. When I look at that I begin to realize those who cry racist are often racist or prejudice on their own and are projecting. Like nobody here thinks 88 means anything else than a number so WTF is up with YOU thinking it's a symbol of hate is how I see that.
I find myself in these conversations and it's eye opening at times. Had a talk once with a gay guy who lives on my street, oddly enough talking about a flag that was stars and bars along with gay pride going viral online in our city. Found out then the gay community is loaded with racists. Who knew? I know of a few white supremacist Mexicans too. How does that even work?
The best conversations though happened during the mess that was 2020 and it's really helped me...
There's things I can say in my home that you cannot say in my home.
There's things you can say in your home that I cannot say in your home.
There's nothing wrong with that and it's perfectly fine. It's human. If anything, it teaches us what to leave at home and what to bring with us when we leave the home.
Home rules are like Vegas..What happens at home stays at home. One example are tropes my wife and I use when talking about our dogs or when critters get in our yard. But those words stay here and I don't ever use them outside my home. I also quote George Jefferson from the Jeffersons and Dave Chapell a lot and my wife gets in a sorta shock when I do because I'm pretty much being a racist to myself and it trips my wife out. I just tell her yeah I know some people would freak out but those words will never offend me and I find them pretty funny and sometimes, very true.
Another that helps me is a simple phrase but very hard to do and that's
being comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. No matter what it is when the shit hits the fan and you can find comfort there, you will persevere.
Just a couple things I've learned from sitting in on seminars about success in sports when people come talk to our football team about current events and mental health and navigating thru them in life.
FuckN-A I'm getting long winded here....Back to growing some pot!
Yeah I'm a most stingy bastard there is when it comes down to using AC in my grow room. I'll only turn it on during ripening and to dry a harvest and when I do I also turn my lights down low or off to offset the electric use.
I'm gonna freeze the bottles for swamp coolers today then put one in and watch the monitor and see how it does. Gonna shut down the exhaust too or run it very slow. The exhaust is the main reason I don't fill the room with cool air as well. Dont wanna cool down the attic space!
I'm planning my next grow as well.
The tables have helped me to corral indicas and sativas to grow together but now I'm seeing some other things to change to make that work in warm weather.
Indicas are so ez and forgiving I'm thinking 5 gallon pots and any decent premium soil will do very well. So I got some Happy Frog soil for them and will continue doing what I've been doing but not spending so much to care for them.
Sativas will get expensive to grow for me now. I'll use 7 gallon pots for them and will also use a premium coco base soil bought online and delivered.
I was really close to buying Stonington again at $40/bag but if I'm gonna spend that I'm also gonna shop around. So in doing that, I know what I get out of Stonington and it's the safe bet but Organics Mechanics has come on my radar so next grow with have sativas in OM's 110 Blend and indicas in Happy Frog with OM's Biochar blend mixed into it.
Also an updaate on the grow bags I'm using to replace airpots. They work fabulous but I'm gonna start cutting them off before I stick them in the dirt. I don't see them degrading at all so I'm not sure if they decompose. If they do it's not quick. Roots punch thru just fine but if these are nylon which is plastic, I don't want it in there.
Gratuitous pic of the freaks today before upcanning! They're turning it on now!
Anybody else see that sale Hi Elevation is having? 40% off to get your freak on!!!
