It's real!!! Tuesday is here!!
Last day of work until next Tuesday!!
Woot woot
It's real!!! Tuesday is here!!
One way I occupy my time when flying,Missed early flight due to staff shortage at baggage check. No one to check baggage while we watched the plane for an hour before it took off...
Was so mad..
Customer service said that even though the flight was delayed 2 hours we were supposed to be here 2 hours before the original departure because the baggage check closed 3 hours before the delayed departure. Ah... Got a new flight today, and $200 in vouchers for my inconvenience. Frontier.... Never again.
On positive note, should be in Denver by 4pm
You're killing me smalls!!!![]()

I don't mean to pry into your expenses but isn't 100 bullets expensive, I've seen stuff where they talk 1-2-5-10 100$ p[er shot, Not that 100$ for a days hobby, play is expensive, shit it cost that + balls & funny shirts to golf a lot of places. I know less than zero about guns other than call of duty and a couple shot gun blast and a BB gun once that's about it.I’m in and out this week. Two things, prepping to make redbud jelly and breaking in a new barrel. I need at least 200 rounds through her so she settles before load development. All of this to be done before a big team match April 12th. Gonna run a 100 rounds today, then work up three loads and run a hundred more day after tomorrow. It will take me a full day to reload the hundred I’m going to shoot today.
So, I’m around at strange times..
Now, let’s smoke one before I head off to the range!

These bullets I shot today will be retired and a hundred new ones in their place. I have been shooting the same brass for over two years. You also have to remember, we reload. So, brass, bullets and primers. The brass runs 125.00 a hundred. I have been shooting that for the past two years. The bullets are 45.00 to 60.00 per hundred, So basically 25.00 per match and the primers are a 100.00 per thousand, so about 5.00 in cost per match. Eight lb jug of powder runs 360.00- 400.00 depending on brand. It will run 1800 to 2000 bullets. So, round 5.00 per match. So a match, which is two twenty round relays plus sighters, round 5-7 (sighters)for me. It would cost me 35-40.00, if I did not have sponsors. They give me free stuff to wear their shirts and use their products at shoots. Bullet companies, barrel companies, stock companies and optical companies.I don't mean to pry into your expenses but isn't 100 bullets expensive, I've seen stuff where they talk 1-2-5-10 100$ p[er shot, Not that 100$ for a days hobby, play is expensive, shit it cost that + balls & funny shirts to golf a lot of places.

Most all of that is completely correct!It depends on a lot of things. Caliber, what it’s made for, if it’s store bought.
CG reloads so she’s saving her brass casings. (They will be fire firmed to her chamber for a perfect fit and no pressure loss) Buys her favourite projectiles in the weight she likes, in the materials she likes. Then picks the best powder for her needs and new primers.
Over all iirc it’s about 1/3 or less the cost to make your own over store bought of the same quality. But it’s still an expensive hobby for sure.
I normally break things in with surplus on a fun shooting day out and use better grade for hunting or targets, but her caliber isn’t a standard one used for war. Much more expensive.
Very nice! I have a few of those too. My Dad left them for meSilver stacking. Granny's cracking full jackets View attachment 95012
Ya, that's pretty good compared to other sports and activities. I wasn't sure what they cost I've seen YT stuff where they talk big money for firing some guns. A machine gun clip, there goes a couple hundred dollars fast, looks like fun but up here we'd be in jail just asking.

Cheaper than fishing or drinking..
Hey, not sure if you've been involved in playing with the color spectrum's in your grows. I've been playing with Far reds and I just bought a pair of Blue 44nm booster lights. I want to limit the amount of stretching the reds give me and blues are supposed to help with that. Now that I have them up and on, they both have dimmers and I'm lost on how to utilize these new lights.Very nice! I have a few of those too. My Dad left them for me![]()

I’ve never manipulated color with lights, but I have with temps. I had one crop that never got above 72*, it was without a doubt the most colorful crop I have ever grown.Hey, not sure if you've been involved in playing with the color spectrum's in your grows.

Now that I have them up and on, they both have dimmers and I'm lost on how to utilize these new lights.
In using my Far reds for just 15 min at lights out I get all the stretching and widening of the leaves I want in just over a 1 week period. When and where would I utilize the blues? On at same time as reds? no, that's not right. All day after the reds? 15 min through the day? its like a math problem. As is I have them on for now 4 weeks into flower, on with regular lighting.
Tomorrow I'll be 4 weeks into flower and stretching should be just about over so I intend on using the far reds again at lights out for 15 min because I like what it does to the color and over all health look of my plants. It will also help enlarge my buds, maybe at the expense of density although it didn't seem to hurt my last runs buds.
Any who that's my life's story...lol....as I smoke and write......have you any experience with adjusting the colors in your growing?View attachment 95047
It was an example to compare prices. As was surplus ammo. I’ve heard some hunt with surplus up here, it’s legal, but not how I was taught/raised. FMJ is designed to wound and make/take other soldiers out of action to help the wounded. Not a human round.Most all of that is completely correct!Cept store bought loads. I have only seen one match won with store bought loads. They just are not precise enough for long range shooting.
Yep. Don’t think I’ve even tried further than 300m. Not many places I could go shoot with that long or clear an area to shoot. Even dads farm has to many hills.One thing when you’re trying to take down large game at 250 yards, whole new ballgame to hit a three inch bullseye at 600 yards. This 6mm is a precision tool and it takes precision loading and some damn good Indica to pull that off! lol

I too, am at this cross road.

I've been using far red lights for a few years now off and on and I've learned how to manipulate my plants growth with them at different stages in their life.
I only use them for 15 min at lights out, once when they are about 10 days old for 1 week only and it jumps them up out of the solo cups triple what they'd normally grow in a week. With larger leaves and a thicker stalk. I have to stop it after a week or they get too tall.
I then use them again for the first week after 12/12 to bump them again to expose more of the plant with more space between the nodes. Again I have to shut them off after 1 week.
I'm now using them again since week 5 after they stopped stretching and its helping swell and add bulk & color to my plants approaching week 10. I'm also getting more frost on my plants than ever before and I've found some support for my findings at.
Although some of this maybe strain related the reds have certainly enhanced my plants growth.
Does anyone else use them on a regular basis? I'd be interested in your hrs of use, do you use them full time or 15 min at lights out and? on?

Exploring the Effects of Far Red Light on Cannabis Growth
Far-red light, or far-red radiation, has been found to have significant effects on plant growth, yield, THC, CBD and other metabolites in cannabis.grow-it-led.com
I really suck at this . hahaHey...it was Pipecarver that posted a thread about red and far red.
Nice work.
Let's use that post or whatever you prefer. But it is a good post whereby he shares his experiences thus far.
Damn, I should try to copy the link hete...but I may not be successful.
So if it does not appear in this reply, then I failed lol.
Feel free to laugh with me too! Laughter is the best medicine!I love it when my friends laugh with me.
Thank you
Yesterday was round one to break in a new barrel. Normally it takes a couple hundred rounds to break in a new barrel. The speeds etc will continue to change until the barrel settles in. When you can bring out a new barrel and within the first thirty shots pull this off..Im sold..it’s Krieger brand barrels all the way for me. Shot S1 was a sighter shot,meaning it shows me what I need to dial into the bull and would not be counted as score in a competition. Shot 15, I missed a mirage shift.

She leveled up on shot thirty and repeated them results through the next seventy. But, she’s still speeding up.Assuming another day you get the same results it saves you a lot of time. Always nice to have luck on your side.
Do you have a few different loads you make? Different weights or powder?
I just saw that. Thailand and Myanmar. Time to check in @SiamSam . Hope all is well.Anyone heard from@siamsam
Big earthquake in Thailand. Hope all is well.

As long as its not politics I think the odd rant is accepted. Been there done that. I smoke 10-20 to get over it, when that doesn't work I smoke 10-20 more then there's the next day. Its no wonder I go through so much weed. I don't know how those that don't smoke can handle it......Yesterday on a drive into our gym it was either crap music or a political talk show. After 5 min listening to the talk show I wanted another smoke and turned off the radio. I said to my wife that's it no more TV/ radio, social media, time to move into the woods and live like hermits. Fk the world I want off.....Well that won't work I like Pizza....I guess we're stuck in the loop, pass the papers please.Oh gosh...debating whether I should delete my rant before it's to late.
Heck no! Let er fly! One thing about the Corner, free speech is alive and well. We may not all agree, but we are respectful to each other. Only rule I have here on the Corner.Oh gosh...debating whether I should delete my rant before it's to late.
Facebook is the only contact I have with old friends and some family so can't delete thatMy wife and have taken the same measures of protection against the bullshit.
Deleted Facebook.
Deleted Instagram
Deleted Google
Deleting more as time presents...
No more TV bullshit...lots of cooking shows, Matty Matheson and similar...
Deleting HBO, Disney, Hulu, fuck...just about all of them.
Amazon is next!
We refuse to be on the wrong side of history and to a fault, will not participate in the destruction of of peace.
Just now seeing this. I read it earlier I think, but missed the image.
Very cool shit here, what you accomplished. So tired of all the bullshit out there...period!
Okay, my blood is boiling and I have been triggered by the fucking state of our nation, as seen on the news this morning, so PLEASE forgive my rant and don't take it personally.
You are something, Cannagranny. I am so happy to see you fuck with the norms and blow it out of the fucking water. Meaning...nice fucking tight pattern. I wish my chip shots on the green, when I practice, were as tight.
I could be completely wrong, as I am out of my element here. But, a sport where men supposedly dominate, (and only because men have consistently put laws into place to prevent woman from fucking doing or having everything, and only because men possess just enough brain capacity to fucking realize that woman are superior to them in most all of things, which instilled a never ending fear of woman and their fucking successes as a threat to their tiny fucking dicks) is rocked sideways by your incredible representation of woman and their unlimited potential and the incredible fact that we men need to fucking learn, just makes me so fucking happy.
Also, I never doubt these things, so it's not like I ever thought that any woman wasn't capable of everything, I am just speaking out about it. I totally fucking expect you and all woman to succeed, so I am not the idiot saying..."oh geez, thats not possible, its a woman. Geez, dont they cook things and make babies?" Fuck off you ass hat piece of garbage insecure fucking dickless bitch of a poor excuse for a man.
I am happily married for over 44 years. I have two children, one girl and one boy. I have four grandchildren, 2 girls and 2 boys. I am not gay, but that shit don't matter and there is nothing wrong with gay people. I am pissed and ranting because the obvious fucking message here is that white men with privilege ruin all things, because they are fucking pussy and cunts that wouldn't last a fucking day working in a real job, or having to live with less, or having to make a fucking life impacting decision, or fucking do anything of any real value. Instead they are the root cause of pain and suffering for an entire species of animals, and further more...they are fucking taking down and killing everything around them as they play their little fucking rich boy games. No worries cuz when they are the only ones left, they will feed on their own, in a dystopian hell they created. I will be long gone by then...but the hope here is that woman, the fucking, best of our species, will save the planet, animals and lastly, us.
You fucking rock Cannagranny...
Pipe, I love your silly ass!Facebook is the only contact I have with old friends and some family so can't delete that
Instgram won't take me. I don't have a cell and after a few tries I've been locked out. so fkem too
Google, I gotta google, maps, who was the king of Babaylon in -3650 ???/ google knows
I hack all TV/ movies, no commercials ever, a bit of porn every now and then pops up but eh its free...
Amazon? I gotta do them, How can I get widgets and things I don't need without them?
I'd like to join in on your protests but I'm weak and have very little self control at times. I just toddle along like a good little sheep, smoke behind the barn when they're not looking and carry on....
