i hope the rain holds off for tomorrow, i'd love to see that race in the dry!! it's lookin sunny and dry right now for the youngins'!!!
realized today that i left 22 fan points on the shelf! i forgot to get my fantasy lineup in for two weeks.. totally forgot all about it! got it this week.
.
wow man, your cat is big!!!! haha i bought a watermelon yesterday too!! haha
.
nice score on the crab meal, not as terrible as i paid thats for sure. you should be set up for a spell now!!
.
"tailgate" tested!!!!! hahahahaha
The rain was kind this year to wait until at least the VL celebration at the end.
Still glad I only did the first street race and caught these others on TV.
I love RC but Chicago has run it's course pardon the pun. It's the SVG show and I get bored with the same guy winning all the time. Plus at 19 laps to go my guy was in the lead only to finish 20 something so yeah, fuck Chicago hahahaha!
Man that sucks about the fantasy because there's a streak points grab next week at 20 worth 200 points. Then a 30 streak worth 300 and the perfect season streak on fantasy will be 500. Fantasy is what's keeping my hopes alive for getting the garage experience next year.
I missed the Clash and Duels and will not get the perfect season for Cup. Just now got the Cup 20x bonus this week when I shoulda got it two weeks ago.
I've left a potential 626 points on the table missing those check ins. 63 twice on the check ins for 126 then the perfect season 500 bonus.
I'm relying on perfection in everything else and the fan shop monthly buys to help make up for it.
I do believe there's still a road to get to 15000 for me but I could also come up short and only get to around 12000. I need every bonus I can get and maybe hit a couple nice scores on powerball. Today I'm only at 7118 and we're only a little past half way thru the season so I'll be cutting it close.
It's getting bad when an online photo of someone's soil mix gets me excited .
I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like when you nail the landrace. FWIW, you should see the yellow ass LSD I have in a grow bag outside. It was an extra that a buddy wanted for his yard. Tragedy struck when he had a close family member fall ill and eventually pass. The plant started out good, but I didn't set it up to last this long in a bag. I gave it some epsom salts last night and it will get compost tea this evening, but I don't really know what it needs. Things have settled down for my buddy, now. If it turns around, I'll ask if he still wants it. If not, I'm going to chuck it.
The mystery holiday smoke looks wonderful. You description of it started off nice, but not sure whether you the window cleaner terps or not

.
The VGs look great, as usual. I don't know anything about the properties of what you're printing with. Just wondering if it's something that might sorta "relax" into and hold it's proper form, if you heated it in the oven and and let it cool with the warped piece laying flat on top of it's partner?
Love the cat
Dude! Sweet find on the crab meal and thanks for sharing the link. I've hated paying for the 5lb boxes and anything I've come across online hasn't had the free shipping. I ordered a bag that says will arrive Wednesday

.
In early Summer, I found a nice bulk supply place (after
@stonemason recommended searching for "horticulture warehouse") a couple hours away, but they were out of the big bags of crab meal, at the time. Pricing on their 5lb boxes beat the heck out of what I'm finding, but I really wanted the 40lb at $41.50. Assuming shelf life is okay to store crab meal, kelp meal, and some other stuff over the Winter, I'll probably be making another trip when I have a big enough order to make the drive worth it.
If I was closer, the 5lb sale is great, compared to what I'm used to. Heck, even their regular price...:

This is what they sell in 40lbs for $41.50. They also sell 1 ton totes of the stuff:

To me, it looks similar to Down to Earth, but I'm just looking at percentages. I could be overlooking something that I don't, understand, yet:

Thanks for all the kind words Bob!
I sure do hope my sprouts love that soil mix I did for them.
Crab meal for me has usually had the same effects no matter the NPK. It usually goes +/- a point or two on the nitrogen depending on where it was sourced and what else is in it.
Like Neptune's Harvest is one of the more potent because it also has lobster shell in it. Some may also have shrimp or other shellfish waste in there.
How course and fine it is will decide how well it works in being a tea or soil amendment but overall I feel like they're all about the same from brand to brand.
Strawberry rhubarb pie is a good memory from my childhood. I’ll bet the last bite I took was 40 years ago.
That pie is my sole ambitious goal when I restart my berry tower.
Hey, did you say there were celebrity cannabis shops in Vegas? As in Willy Nelson, Mike Tyson? I'd love to get a hold of both. I'd like to grow me some Willy and Mike. It looks like I'll be renting a car after all. Transportation to and from the airport costs as much as renting a car.
I see Sixt has cars at $21/day or its about $50 in a cab to the hotels down town...each way. Even if we don't use it everyday its still a deal. I could get a convert Mustang again but no deals there, $100/day plus now.last time it was like $150 for our 1 week trip.
I like getting out into the Desert for a day or two. Maybe head out to the airbase, last time there we had a stealth bomber fly over us while driving into Vegas. We had a convertible Mustang and it was going in for a landing right over my head, so cool, wife was saying pay attention to the road, I'm like fk you that's a stealth airplane above me, you watch the road...
I've lost interest in my grow aft a fk up and all seeded plants so I'm focusing on out trip, its been a while.I see no reason to change hotels, after everything I've seen so far there's no red flags other than noise.
Yep I forgot...You won't be able to buy seeds or clones in Vegas and I don't think you can even see a garden. It's not like Colorado in those regards but even in Colorado I cannot buy seeds or clones because I'm not a resident but I can tour gardens and see the commercial operations in action.
In Nevada those grows are out in the desert inside armed compounds.
Vegas is 100% about consumption and not for home grower types so there's nothing for the home grower really.
No seeds, no mega hydroshop or any of that. In fact the commercial growers out there are not even into breeding so what they're growing is very mainstream and usually sourced from seed banks like Crop King, Growers Choice, Ethos, Fast Buds, and probably any other big cannabis operation that feeds the industry it's genetics.
The celebrity stuff is just branding. Like seeing Pepsi on a store shelf so you don't need to go to the Pepsi factory to buy it.
It's in most dispos and best selection for those will be in the touristy dispos.
It's really best IMO to understand that it's only a brand. For example in Vegas, anything you get branded Redwood Cultivation is the same quality as Willie Reserve. That farm is the same farm where the Willie Nelson brand weed is grown. It's from the same grow but say 100 plants from 500 get the Willie Nelson brand and labeled "Red Headed Stranger" as the strain name. Then it's sold for $40/gram.
Those other 400 plants will keep their original name. Lets call that strain Lemon OG, and it will sell for $10/gram. Same weed from the same farm but it gets a celebrity endorsement on the label. It drives up cost but Willie gets a cut and you get a better than average stash jar for a souvenir.
The other side to it is that it varies from state to state. So even though the brand is the same, Willie's Reserve Red Headed Stranger strain is different in each state it's available.
I'm probably a bit different when it comes to car and hotels in Vegas.
When it comes to rooms I always get one with a view. Our room is the reset home base so we do spend some time in it to recharge before the next adventure and in that I like to sit in the cool air with a great view of Vegas below.
For cars, I go for speed! I damn near rented a Lamborghini for a few hours on my last visit. But at the airport I drove away in a brand new convertible Mustang and promptly headed out to the desert for some 100MPH+ fun running that Pony!
You guys safe down there?
Heard there's some water problems down there .
Hopefully the areas can recover.....
Safe bud?
Thanks Buddy!
Yeah we're good here but still very wet. I'm on a hill and have addressed drainage so it runs off and away fast from me but there's other parts of the city wrecked pretty bad.
Not far West of us is really bad and is what's making national headlines. Nightmarish really so it's all hands on deck to make sure those people get the help they need.
Motherfuckers from all sides of politics and shit trying to insert their conspiracy shit making it worse. Some assholes saying this is all fake on social media. It's times like these I see the best and absolute worst in people. I just wish that if people online are not here then shut the fuck up or offer help. Not in any mood for the people who became gawd damn weather and flooding experts in the last 72 hours and their shit because they read something on fucking facebook and nextdoor. And motherfuckers with drones, big fuck you to those dorks too.
Sorry man but this shit makes me a little ranty and it happens every time our weather gets crazy around here with all the transplants not having lived here for more than a minute.
