CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

TSD said:
Did you know there is a perennial variety of hibiscus that grows in colder climates? I'm zone 4 and on year 3 or 4 with mine. It makes me think it's died every year because it's always last to sprout. Here's some pics from last year, it's not blooming yet this year. View attachment 14892View attachment 14893
They spread every year too. My friend has a camp on the St. Lawrence in Quebec and one of her neighbors practically has a hibiscus hedgerow... that's how I discovered they were a thing and hunted one down.
I also kept a regular hibiscus alive for about 5 years by bringing it in for winter... till my hubs decided to water it and spray all the leaves midday on a 90 plus degree sunny day... cooked the poor fucker. I was honestly sick of dealing with it's mess all winter from my dry ass house... but it was nice to have a bright orange bloom in the middle of winter. Probably could have mitigated the mess with daily spritzing... but I'm busy man lol.

Yes, I looked it up when we were deciding to plant or pot.

Wife buys plants randomly when she sees them, usually on sale at grocery stores or building centres. My job is to debug and figure out how to keep alive. 🤣

I told her to get the right one next time she sees one on sale. Most likely have to go to a nursery for anything good.

Don’t think she’s bought any flowers this year. First time since we bought the place. But we are enjoying the veggies. Just slow to fruit this year. Cucumbers are happiest.

My uncle has over 1,000,000 miles worth of drive time in a semi, started hauling beer when he was only 12 years old!!
He always told me he never knew a company with worse drivers than Swift, and every truck thats wrecked here is Swift, or JB Hunt.... hardly ever any other company.

Up here when I offloaded we used to listen on channel 19 for info. And hear drivers complain about JB Hunt. Don’t know Swift…apparently don’t want too. 😝

Some people don't even understand how a 4 way stop works, so that's not shocking. I hate people that try to wave you on when they were clearly there first... like you're just confusing everyone else at this fucking intersection... fuckingggg goooo brooo. 🤣

If two or more arrive at the same time it becomes mass confusion! 🤦

Does anyone still have access to the Farm? PM if you do. I had a grow-off going on there and would really like to get in touch with that dude. I looked on a buddy's phone and it looks like he harvested and has been wondering where I went. Dude's name was Peat_Phreak so if he's bad news then nevermind. He seemed pretty quiet, though.

I've still got an unbanned membership over there. I haven't used it in a while, so maybe I'm wrong about still having it.

So there currently is a detour to my house I live by a couple train trussels (underpass goes under train tracks) and that swift truck I posted earlier hit the first one...as i watched him back up and posted my post about a minute later I heard him hit the second trussel. Well this time he got stuck😆🤘

I once worked in an office building that had a two-story parking area. The lower level, though, was not graded -- it's on a hill, so there's about 18 feet of clearance on one side, and about 10 feet of clearance on the other. (I'm sure you can see where this is going.)

So a driver with a truck that needed about 12' of clearance pulled in with a delivery. A co-worker and I came down to help him unload and bring the stuff up to our floor. He was in a hurry, talking about how his boss has been on his case lately, for a variety of fuck-ups. We unloaded our stuff, he hopped in the cab and sped off... toward the low clearance end of the parking area. There was a cry of, "No, wait, don't!!

Boom! He's wedged the truck under a concrete beam for the second floor of the parking area.

He got out, frantically running around the truck. We calmed him down, then got another half dozen guys to sit, stand and lie on the front of the truck to get the springs to compress enough to get him unwedged. He's finally on his way.

As soon as he was out of earshot, a pent up dam of laughter burst forth.

This was the first of many instances in my life where I wanted to shout, "Wait a minute, I'M the stoner here..."

Imma skip explosive islands with beautiful flowers, reminds me of an X..

Now, now, now. There are explosive-type volcanoes, like the ones on the west coast of the US and the whole "ring of fire," and volcanoes that just flow. Explosive volcanoes have lava that is thick and viscous. When pressure builds up behind a plug in a volcanic vent, there can be huge explosions, on the order of hydrogen bombs and greater.

Hawaiian volcanoes, like Icelandic volcanoes, have very fluid lavas that tend to just flow freely. You'll never see a massive volcanic explosion there, the way we saw with Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Pinatubo, Krakatoa, etc. You do get lava flows that might cover a housing development if one is built in an unfortunate location in Hawaii, but that's not a tourist's problem.

Here in SE Michigan and NW Ohio, transportation departments have become traffic circle/roundabout crazed. If you think people don't know how to behave at 4-way stops, try one of these traffic circles.

If you are in the circle, you have the right of way. Last week, I was behind someone who stopped in the circle to let someone at one of the intersecting roads get in. Other times, people ignore the fact that other people are in the circle, and just go, cutting them off.

I think they need a How-To guide on a sign on the approach to one of these circles.

lol omg i was stationed in England and i tell you you what. they drive on left side of the road compared to the US, and they have round da bouts as they call them. i'll never forget driving overseas Paris was the worst, especially around the Arc de Triomphe crazy drivers lol in Saudi they like to use the horn A LOT.

Yeah we have a few of them here, mostly on the interstate... and people definitely don't know how to use them.

Another guy here was able to pm the dude my email. We'll see if I hear from him. Looked like he grew some pretty good buds and I'm doing the same strain, so I'm excited.

The new thing I'm seeing more is where a road interchanges with a split lane highway they have the 2 lanes cross each other like an "X". I think the logic is you can go right without having to cross traffic before the interchange & then they switch sides & you can also go left without crossing traffic. So you don't have people waiting to make left turns backing up traffic. But I saw an older guy in one the other day & he got going down the wrong way & then couldn't seem to make his way out of it. Apparently it's called a diverging diamond interchange.

LOL yeah I've had to face a couple of them stoned, it was touch & go the 1st time. Honestly they're not bad as long as the other side has traffic. It's pretty obvious you shouldn't go straight when there's a bunch of cars there. When the whole interchange is empty it can be a little confusing. I think that's the issue the guy I saw the other day ran into. We were the 1st cars crossing the bridge, he saw us & realized but he was already too far into the intersection. Then he tried to U-turn but that only faced him, back toward traffic again (he needed to make more of an S curve).

I remember.
She ain't got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

She talks kinda lazy
And people say she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

Well I'm from a map dot
a stop sign on a black top
Caught the first bus I could hop from there
but all of this glitter is getting dark
There’s concrete growin in the city park
I don't know who my neighbors are
Theres bars on the corners and bars on my heart

Whew what a day, I'm beat. Took my dad to an 8 am appointment that was an hour away, then came back and spent the afternoon with my bestie and our kiddos swimming in one of my favorite childhood swimming spots. It's such a beautiful, magical place, a big waterfall and many tiny ones, and there's a natural water slide that's hard to top. It seems like a place fairies must dwell. You can walk for a couple miles on the clean flat rock above the waterfall. Endless hours of exploration for kids so inclined. 20230725_145327.jpg20230725_145423.jpgThis is the slide, ends in a perfect swimming hole. 20230725_145411.jpgTop of the falls. 20230725_151322.jpg
If that wasn't enough, we ended the day with ice cream and a skate party at the arena... mama busted out the rollerblades and I'm sure to pay for that tomorrow. 🤣 I haven't felt that nostalgic in a while, whipping past those kids on my blades to old school pop... I spent sooo many hours at the skating rink as a kid/teen... I wish we still had one... this was an occasional summer thing they do at the hockey arena while the ice is gone... poor kids learning to skate busting they asses on imperfect concrete instead of shiny wood like God intended. 🤣 At least nobody yelled at me to slow down... used to hate that shit... let me be free dammit. 🤣 It was a good day.

It's just so beautiful there... and there was only 2 other people there... that place was a hotspot when I was a kid, you'd be waiting with your tube to go down the slide... or trash the ass of your bathing suit... but I guess seeking out swimming holes is less common nowadays.
