Had to increase the size of my seed storage container today.
Used to keep them in a quart OXO click top container but now i have so many i had to get a half gallon mason jar. And its already about full so ill just have to start another jar i guess.
Just this time last year i think i had 8 strains, now i have 32 and more coming😳

Cash poor but seed rich! 🤘
 
i believe that. i also believe that it's too late for me, i think i've been eating plastics my entire life and just being made aware of some of it now. but it is the main reason why i don't eat sea salt.

i used one of those stainless cups years ago, also had tiny filters to fit inside. you can really pack them tight to get a full cup of rich coffee using these, way better than the teaspoon of grinds you get from normal Kcups. but when i had to go through all this cleaning and filling of a reusable cup it kinda didn't make anything more convenient than a regular maker. so i went back to old school. still makes coffee in just a couple minutes, tastes better, and it keeps it hot till i'm ready for it!!!

did ya ever sift your sugar? you'd be amazed what ya find... plastic, metal parts, hair... all brands too, domino, generic, walmart.. all nasty!!! the bulldozers they use in sugar plants are very heavily greased so they don't seize up from the sugar.. after maintained the grease just drips from the tracks!!! right into our sugar!!!!
 
Anywayz I’m off to pull eight pints of cannahoney out of the cooker and set them aside to cool enough to be able to pull the cheesecloth with the goodies inside and squeeze it back into the jars. Been at this lil chore all day long! Cant wait to open the lids and check out the terps!
About the sugar, I substitute honey.
Then imma call it a night. Catch yiz Menz in the morning!

I have the plastic refillable kind. I've never seen the steel kind.

I just never wanted to see video of someone cutting open the stomach of a dead whale, and seeing my brand of K-cup spill out.

When I had to replace the headlights on my 2015 Subaru, I was stunned to find out that you just have to replace the BULB!! What a concept!!

Nearly every vehicle I've had since the 80s had specially contoured headlights where you had to replace the whole thing - reflector, etc., and the headlight was specific to the model and year of the vehicle.

Offshore renewable energy projects are killing far more whales then any k-cup’s are.

Interesting. Care to share your findings on offshore RENEWABLE energy projects killing more whales than, say, offshore oil drilling? In my research I haven't been able to find one credible report talking about offshore wind projects killing whales enmasse. What I did find was that offshore OIL DRILLING kills not only whales but a host of other sea life. I'm sure ANY type of construction in our seas that isn't natural to the oceans will have an effect. Unfortunately, offshore wind isn't one of them that does it at the level other energy specific projects do. As far as your opinion on the whale/Kcup death rate I can't offer any opinion as there is no research detailing this in any credible fashion.

Where you may be deriving your opinion from are the countless news reports, mostly from conservative news outlets, that windfarms are killing whales when that is, for lack of a better word, a lie. What is actually happening are a few wind projects that have been approved being further scrutinized because of the particular type of whale, the North Atlantic Right whale being one them, being on the endangered species list that frequent those areas. If you are going to point to whales beaching themselves on New Jersey shores uncharacteristically, these events happened prior to the construction of the wind farms but the news likes to push our buttons by cherry picking information to sensationalize the story so that we tune in and watch the ads that they get to charge higher rates for when we succumb to their creative reporting.
 
Hey yiz Menz!
Im still playing in the sticky stuff! Finished my honey off at 11 last night. I allowed the bag of goodies to sit in it over night, now I will reheat the honey to a low temp and squeeze the goodies outta the bags back into the jars and rejar all of it.
Stout stout stuff. I had two skinny teaspoons of it last night, went upstairs to watch tv, fell asleep within ten minutes and slept til 10:30 this morning! I never do that!
Whooooop whoooooop, a kick your azz product!

Offshore Wind Energy: Assessing Impacts To Marine Life | NOAA Fisheries

www.fisheries.noaa.gov www.fisheries.noaa.gov

Or do you feel that NOAA ( National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) is a part of the media and conspiracy theories as well?
I actually can add no less than 20 articles discussing this very thing. My husband a retired Ship Capt of 35 years involved in oil, science and technical oceanic exploration all over the world has a lot to say on the subject as well.
Funny you should repeatedly break down the media into conservative outlets, even though there is actually only two..the rest meaning all major networks are liberal.
As for me I’m off to finish the honey.
You are all welcome to your opinions, just play nice 🙂

No study to cite, but I live on the east coast where dead whales continuously wash up on our beaches.

Point is and was, who to believe? Why we each must make our own determination. We all have the right to that. That’s the beauty of critical and free thinking. Although I see most are berift of that process.
Anyways all is open for discussion as long as we are kind to one another.
Cept Logic..he’s a feckin Wanker. 😂

Between that and the fact they can pick and choose the test they want to release makes most of the info we are given propaganda IMO.
If not propaganda than just advertising.

What advertising? All I see now are pharmaceutical ads! No Jeepers Creepers, no Teaching the World to sing, no my bologna has a first name. Very few anything other than “you’re sick, buy this!” Side effects cause sudden death, stroke, paralysis and anal leakage..but..it will help you lose weight!

The report you posted pretty much confirms what I said.

"I'm sure ANY type of construction in our seas that isn't natural to the oceans will have an effect."

From your report:

"Scientists around the world are still investigating the potential impacts of offshore wind energy development on marine life."

My statement on oil rigs is well documented.

My pointing out conservative news outlets is not just some fanciful stab in the dark. I can look up how many times negative views on wind power are reported by conservative news outlets vs other outlets. I would put my money on the negative coverage coming from those same conservative outlets. I'm not lambasting them. I'm simply trying to say don't believe everything you hear on the news be it liberal or conservative.

In this case Freezeland made a comment that leans towards the view that offshore wind power kills marine life yet that doesn't seem to matter when it comes to offshore oil drilling or it would have been mentioned.
 
Went down to open the vent on my tent a little more and noticed I had left the light on above the washer and dryer for about 3.5 hours past lights off.... whoops....think I'll be ok? Only mishap in about 5 months of straight flowering.... maybe time to put that light on a timer as well 🤔

Hey everyone!

I know i've been away for a good bit. All is well. I will write a detailed account of what is going on for all who desire.

I'm on a "cleansing" now, and seeing anything about weed does not make it easier. I am in CO now doing some very intense training.... Just started the training this Monday. I'm not as young as the other new people starting, most are fresh out of college at 22/23, and i'm 20 years on top of that, lol. I want to give myself the best chance i can by having a clear mind during this training, hence the 'cleansing'. Every day of training is equivalent to me to almost 2 weeks of college level curriculum. I was talking to my friend today who was like 'but you went to school for that right, so you already know it?' This company has their own propriety software, so it's their own beast, a massive beast....

I'm about to go on my fifth day of training tomorrow, and i've already had a couple, 'wtf, am i ever going to get all of this' freak out moments. I have 1 more week of training, then another 4 weeks of more intense/solitary/hands-on training after that. Finally today, I had a moment, where I was like 'I fucking know this at least', and that was when we finally opened Visual Studio and doing some coding. Coding I know, that's my gig.
It might sound like i'm complaining too much, but i'm going to stick with it. The trainers have assured me that almost no one, including themselves understood it after training, and didn't really "get it" until at least 2-3 months on the project site. So, I'm hoping i'll have that understanding eventually. For a little more insight into what i'll be doing, i will be working with a private company that is contracted to state agencies to redo their tax system using their software. I will be one of the people who go to these project sites to learn what the needs of that state agency are, their laws on tax code, then customize my company's COTS (commercial off the shelf) tax software to be specifically suited for that state/city/agency. The difficulty is immense, i must not only learn that specific state's tax laws in and out, i must also make sure the software doesn't break any, that is where the customization comes in. Obviously government officials aren't open to change either, so we have been warned that is something that we will face when on site.

There are a lot of safeguards when working with taxpayer data that must be adhered to that if not followed will easily lead to criminal charges and fines. Every single thing we do on the computers is recorded to comply with required IRS security audits of FTI(federal taxpayer information).
I'm on the edge of Denver here, and it's just wild to me. Never been to CO. It is definitely, very hard to breathe up here. Walking 10 minutes feels like I ran a mile. It is very beautiful up here though.

On the plus side, very plus side, this company is the best model i've ever seen on how to treat their employees. The culture here is something usually unheard of for any job. I could list the benefits but it would take 2 pages maybe to list it all. If anyone is looking for a job in IT or Customer Service or Testing/training, reach out to me and I will share the details and the company. This company didn't lay off anyone during the pandemic for one thing, and still hasn't done any layoffs following other tech labor trends. I've already met 3 of the founders of the company, drank beers with them, and this company is 3000 employees strong and has current contracts/projects in countries around the world. We have 4 people from New Zealand, 3 Jamaica, 3 Canada, 2 Puerto Rico, 1 Nigeria, 1 China, and then about 20 from all over the US starting training with me this week. Huge diversity.
They just continue to surprise me how well, how extremely well, they treat their employees. My wife was in the hospital yesterday, and they offered 3 times to fly me back home for free, let me be there for her, and then come back out and redo training, and that my job is not at jeopardy at all if i did that. Just blows my mind to offer me that on my third day..... Thankfully my wife is well, but just to offer that blows my mind. I believe I found the best job I could ever dreamed for, I am truly blessed. I am not trying to brag, just share my joy with you all. They love fresh graduates regardless of age, if anyone is in school or recently out of Uni (a kiwi word I picked up from my new New Zealand friends) and is interested in a job that would let you see the world or at least the US, relocating every 2-3 years, please let me know. I want to share this joy with others.

I miss all of you and give my love! After training they are sending me to their Maine project site. Eventually I will get back into growing, well at least smoking, but not until after training and maybe 1-2 months of being on site. I promise I will come back in earnest then, in the meantime I will periodically check up on my very supportive online family here.

This is the view from HQ where I am doing my training:

Don't let the difficulty be discouraging. You were hired for a reason.

I went through the same bit of uncertainty during my first 3 months at this new place. Every 2 weeks, a trainer comes to the plant and walks us through every system from water to steam and everything between. We draw it out, discuss what each valve is looking at and then teach it to the instructor. It wasn't until last week that I finally had some clarity and realized "I'm actually not a retard." Every week prior I just felt like I was getting more and more lost, but each visit we go over all previous lessons and something finally stuck. Like a huge weight off my shoulders and I think I'm finally falling in line. Coming to this job was the most humbling experience of my life and I'm grateful for that period of feeling lost.

YOU GOT THIS DUDE

We’ve only had to shovel half a dozen times this year. Most because the rain would then freeze and make it ice.
