Stoney's Luv Shack

[Stoneyluv]

Remember when Rudd cooked himself

yep, i was at a company picnic at the time, listening to it in my car!! got everybody high that day.. bosses and everybody, people that had no business smoking weed.. i tore em all up!!! hahaha

funny story about ernie irvin..

in the 90's one of ernie irvins cars was at a local spot and and a bunch of us at work were gonna go check it out at lunch. this dude hears us talking about it and asks if i would get him ernie's autograph.. i said no, drivers aren't there at all just one of his old cars not even a race engine in it.. he's like no but if he's there... i said he's not man.. he's not gonna be there.. he's still persistent after that i just said ok..

so like five or six of us go there and i grabbed one of those shiny cardboard driver cards for him and on the way back i signed it with a sharpie and said man look he was there, i got you an autograph.. he was so excited!!! the other guys didn't say anything.. he was showing everybody!!!! the whole rest of the day he was so excited and got so much work done!! so right before he left for the day i told him about it. he didn't believe me!!! he's like nah look it's ernies... i was like no it's mine!!! hahahahahaha i'm such a prankster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's about time to top and start the mainline!!!



the three that are a week behind could use some more growth first...







except for this pitiful excuse for plant.. i'm gonna be one plant short with no more loses...

picked u a new bag of beans today, i really liked the murdered out blend so i decided to try their Beyond Black blend this here just might be my new favorite coffee....

 

[Stoneyluv]

mainline manifolds have been started!!!



used velcro and bamboo to hold down the ones big enough, stoled those brilliant ideas from Jonny and Grump!!!!



two plants just aren't big enough yet, these are a week or so behind all the others.



some nice cuttings for clones in the mess i made... tempted to start a couple to see if they could catch up...

Creepy Kyle's ALWAYS there man. Him and Waltrip are like the ring masters of the fan zones.
First time I've ever seen Larson made available but he's not the only one. More than half the field will be in the fan zone this year.
I'm gonna get in the Gizberger line to start and if possible get in the Larson line.
Noah, maybe if possible but I don't have a warm Natty Light for him to shotgun and sign

So when I came up with a war chain, I didn't realize I'd be seeing it in his merch hauler a year later being sold for $65




So good news bad news Brother....Bad news, the car I send your way won't have a body. Chase scribbled on this one




Good news, Losi restocked all bodies and rumor has it there's a new livery coming Fall '25

So with the appearances tomorrow people have to pay for a wristband and the wristband gets you access to the driver line.
Today, $50 in merch got me to meet Briscoe, Bell, and Hamlin. Freebies were Algair, Kvapil, and Sammy Smith.
Tomorrow, SVG is another $50 in merch and Larson is a nutso $85 in merch for line access.
Noah Gragson...free.
So I'm gonna meet Noah

oh that is so awesome man!!!!! what did he say? was there any time or was it just sign and pass? i mean the brisky sticker?? haha too bad his spotter didn't see it and start calling him that on the radio!!

too fuckin cool either way man!!!!

man some kind of BS there if you spend $85 on larson he'll sign stuff and if not he don't want to be bothered,, hmmm.. guess he already forgot where he came from or how he got there. i'm sure it's not all him but he signs the checks at KLR!

.

great race though, at least on tv it was... was it just as awesome for you? seating area the same place right? how did your headsets work out?

i liked the track changes and the tire mod.. i think they could go even a little further with the tires and add even more fall off. makes different strategies work out better.

larson had bad luck with a long pit stop and then a wheel fell off so penalties and suspensions coming for the next four weeks.

satuday i took Cbell off my fantasy and put on elliot,, stellar move there!! dumb ass!!!!!! speaking Cbell, no longer a fan... two is too many now!!! lets slow it down turbo give somebody else a chance huh!!! hahaha

its all good though, just glad to have racing back on tv again!!!!

.
.

manifolds are growing... i've been slacking on the training a bit but the plants seem to be fine. they got a good watering yesterday, only like the second one so far. next one will have some food in it.

random pics...

Plants are looking good and chugging along!

We had a blast man. I like the new track and tire fall off made the racing way more exciting. Now we can see the cars for the whole course instead of them disappearing for 90 seconds and we got 90 laps instead of just 60.

Briscoe and Bell were cool AF. Chatted up a bit, he signed my car, and we took a pic.
I thought the lines would be separate for each driver but it was a deal where we could meet and greet the 3 JGR drivers. I skipped past Hamlin and onto Briscoe and Bell but wish I had something for Bell to sign too. Hamlin and I kinda ignored each other because I had no interest to meet him and he had loyal fans behind me I didn't want to impede.
Briscoe and Bell were cool. I could tell a little bummed out because they had just come from qualifying. But still smiled, chatted, and laughed about the Brisky name plates. I think they thought my wife and I were just goofy fans having some fun.

I was a bit taken back by how small they all are. Like tiny humans Bro. Briscoe is tall so I was used to that but they are so small.
I'm used to seeing massive humans everyday. 6'4"/300lbs+ is common around my work and smallest guys are 5'10" 200lbs. Bell was like 5'9" and maybe 130lbs soaking wet. Briscoe was skinny AF and Hamlin was just a normal sized tiny human.
Larson looks small on TV so I can't even imagine how tiny he is in person. Probably like a horse jockey size. We never saw him due to timing of everything.

Yeah so each team or driver has a different protocol for meet n greet signings.
Pay to play, JGR was probably the best. Three cup drivers at once for $50 in JGR merch.
SVG was $50 in merch but only his merch. I couldn't combine SVG and Suarez to get to $50.

Hendricks was the most expensive.
Yeah Larson for $85 and for Bowman you had to buy a specific 1:24 diecast and he'd only sign the diecast.

Ford drivers and Chastain were most fan friendly. Ford drivers were all free but there was no Blaney, Logano, or Keslowski. Only the newer Ford drivers. Ford also provided 8x10 media cards to be signed.
Chastain and Suarez are men of the people. Suarez had his $50 signing then also a free meet n greet but wasn't signing, just taking pics and answering questions for about 10 minutes. Chastain had been making appearances all weekend, 2-3 each day except for Sunday but I'm pretty sure he tried to meet every fan he could Friday and Saturday.

You wouldn't be able to meet several drivers so you had to choose your fave on Sunday. Lines were super long and sold out and no way you could get one siggy then another 15 minutes later. Each driver line was probably 150-200 people deep.
I was glad I passed on SVG and Larson otherwise I woulda spent most of Sunday morning in a line.
Instead, I went to the Ford line and was 4th from the front when I got there after seeing the stormtroopers and Blaney.
The Ford guys were all cool. Gilliand, Zane Smith, and Gragson.
I told Zane I had his COTA win truck but forgot it so he signed a picture for me. Gragson was cool. Wearing his silly cowboy hat and all and I told him I was looking forward to seeing him getting his first Cup win. He gave me a signed picture but I also bought a tumbler for him so sign as well. Again...didn't realize those three fellas were so tiny!

I don't ever post selfie pics on these forums but WTH...I have a ton of DGAF's after my health scare so why not...Here's me and Noah with a Zane Smith photo bomb....



Busch was a character. Waved hi to my wife and let her take a pic even though she didn't buy anything and wasn't in his line. He's actually normal human size and not tiny




The scanner and headsets were so fucking awesome man!!!
Nest time you head to a race let me know and I'll send your way so you don't have to rent then you can send 'em back.
My wife loves the things and wants to use them at the football games. The intercom feature was well worth it.
Good racing overall! I haven't watched it yet on TV but might today.

Larson had an abysmal day. Yeah that wheel coming off was something else. He aint gonna live down that $85 around here anytime soon.
Neither is Alex "Diecast" Bowman. So when Larson lost that wheel we were quick with the $85 lugnut jokes.

My fantasy and pool was fucked. I looked at them after I got home and just thought, "WTH was I thinking?"
What I do know now more than ever...Trackhouse has lost it's speed. Even SVG couldn't make up for the long run drop off that seems to be plaguing all of those cars at every track.

thats i so freakin awesome man!!!!!!!! so is this: Appeals panel overturns L2-level penalty to No. 19 team, Chase Briscoe

hell yeah, right back in the points mix battle just one point in front of larson!!!!!

.

hats really cool you got to meet him and Bell... even better you guys had fun with it!!! i was really hoping it was that way!! and the same with
gilliand gragson and zane smith, i was hoping it would be more open and fun and less about $$$

way cool he just pulled out a card and signed it for ya!!! be just as cool if ya just set the card next to the diecast in your collection!!

look at KB with her shit eating grin!!!! hahahahaha bet he didn't look tiny? but yeah man hose guys are all small, you gotta be light and small to go fast!!! most of these kids started out in go carts and stuff with all the same machines and body weight is the determining factor of speed.

but i guarantee you i would have the opposite side of the spectrum visiting your work.. i'd be like holy F everybody is huge here!!!! hahaha
look i'm jhust gonna say this.. there was a very good reason i used to steal clean room gowns from texas to take to asia with me!!! try and fit in one of their little suits!!! haha

in Japan we wore the pink ones made for prego ladies!!! hahahaha

.

very very cool though man!! i bet you guys will remember this race forever!!!!!!

 

[Stoneyluv]

i had more used soil than i thought.. most of the goodies are in there already. i added some crab shell and since these are switching to flower soon i added a bunch of extra bone meal. gave it some fresh nematodes and watered in with great white and green aminos...



i have two bags of new stonington so i emptied it out into a tote and liberally applied nematodes (the rest of the bottle) and watered it down and clamped the lid on the tote.

i don't think these two and half buckets are gonna be enough.. i need about a gallon and half per plant and got fifteen plants.. i'm gonna hold it off for another day maybe two..

i'm gonna work on the shelf and try to make it big enough to hold all the final containers and keep them elevated. whether or not it's strong enough to hold them all we will find out together!!!! now that i type this out and think of the weight i'm not so sure.. i'll try it out sit on it and bounce a little!! haha how else am i supposed to find out.. haha

specs say 55lbs each.. i gotta look i might have two more laying here, i think i only used two of the four in dagobah. if so i'll put a total of six in, shit the plywood is gonna weigh pretty much on it's own.. IDK...

maybe i can lay a few cinder blocks under the table.. always unprepared!!! haha

 

[Stoneyluv]

i put in a back saver big enough to fit my final pots...



gave it a center post to take some weight!! should be good, i only want it for a few weeks till i'm done training then i'll put em on the floor.



this was hands down the smoothest and easiest upcan in years!!! not sure exactly why, everything just fell into place.. i did not have enough used old soil for all of them so the back two rows are my soil and the front two rows are coast of maine right out of the bag, with nematodes added!!!
please no gnats... please please please!!! it's ben so refreshing not getting bit when i water my plants!!!!!!! in fact i'm gonna order another bottle as soon as i hit post!!



so now i can get back to training and don't worry about having to disturb ties anymore.. bring on the eight legged freaks!!!!!



roots wern't as bad as i thought they would be...



and for the ice cream on top this is the only mess i made through the whole thing... pretty freakin good for me!!! haha



have a great week everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
