My attic buildout

[SpasticGramps]

Nope it is the bad guys getting one over on the universe. Gramps knows how to do it and the man is putting the squeeze on. We all want him to be healthy but 4lbs a month is what the man stole form us.

Yeah bro, the bad guys won this battle, but they haven't won the war yet. This is a long fight. I'm retreating, regrouping, and will come back stronger and better on my next show.

 

[ItsAllOver]

Long time no see, gramps. Sad to see that you've had to shut down for a while, but this is just time to plan for the future!
I'm in the same boat, but it feels nice to be free and clear, that's for sure.
Take care of yourself

 

[BubbBubb]

Wow!!! Nice digs!

 

[SpasticGramps]

Your room was approaching perfection, I'm smoking an empty bong load in its memory!

Much love bro. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. Growing the gift that cannabis is has really transformed why world view in a way that I haven't really wrapped my head around quite yet. A lot of people on here have been growing for years, decades even. I yearn for the day that many people can legally have that same connection with their own medicine. That feeling is how it should be, without any fear and without all the Pharma shit shoved down our throats.

We all come from different such different backgrounds, but rally around a single cause, and it's a weed. A simple, but majestic plant put here by Mother Nature (be that wherever you believe nature came from). It saves lives and this is going to be an important banner of logic that needs to be vocally waved around in the times ahead.

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall - think of it, always."

Thanks guys!

I am getting an itch to get back into this. I really do miss it. My parents have moved into that room for the time being because they are getting there house built on the other property so that's keeping me away for the moment. I never put my gym stuff in there. Our plans changed a little bit. I'm hoping in a few months I'll having something going again. I can't even hardly read the weed growing bits on the board right now because it drive mad that I can't do this.

Once this gets into your blood it sure does stay there.

Absolutely amazing, I'm a Very Deep Souther (can't get too much further without running out of 'glades lol) myself so I hear you loud and clear. Congrats!

 

[SpasticGramps]

I'm mulling over my options. It's a good idea.

Thanks bro. Welcome to the boards! Lots of good info to be found around here.

Hey Gramps, what's new? How friendly is the girl towards all this stuff? Got a partner there, or someone you've got to hide your activities from?

I'm a fan of the 'lever behind the ordinary-looking bookcase opens a sliding pneumatic door to the secret grow room' methodology myself:

RCMP discover secret pot room in upscale Surrey home

Always wanted to do that myself...sans getting caught, that is...

If you cut down on your intake, even a couple o' feet behind a false wall can take care of your (personal) needs quite well.

(I tapered down to 0.5-0.6 g/week a few years back, before taking a job overseas and shutting everything down. At that rate, an oz will last about a year...)

Stay frosty, mate!

Cheers,

Hey buddy. The girl I was talking about when I wrote that would have been cool with it, but I broke that off a few weeks after I posted that. The girl I'm dating now probably wouldn't be so cool about it. She may be on her way out for other reasons too.

I'm strongly considering starting up a micro grow sometime this year.

I here you bro!!! What an attic!

 

[greenthumbnewb]

dang dude! gotta grow something! dont u have something going on somewhere else though, i remember u brought those mothered out monsters from somewhere not far from u

 

[SpasticGramps]

No I don't have anything else going on right now. I'm debating on whether to go micro or go buy another piece of land to play with. That decision should be made in the next couple of months.

The monsters came from my parents old house just down the road. That was just for temporary while I set the attic up.

 

[SpasticGramps]

So I'm done setting up my gym. I've had it for a while, just haven't post any pics. I figured I'd post the pics in here. It's sooooooo much better than the gym I was working with at my parents. There is just no substitute for free weights, squats, deads, and cleans. I was doing real good for the first few months when I started and then I caught strep throat and pneumonia which knocked me back down. I've been hitting it hard for the past month and have recouped most of what I've lost. Perseverance is everything!

Time to get big again!

Power Cage


Power Blocks


300lb weight stack.


I'm not back to pushing 300lbs on anything quite yet although I'm about to pick up x2 45plates and a couple more 10lb plates. Mainly for squats right now.

I find the most important thing in life is exercise and eating healthy. If you body is operating at maximum efficiency and looks good everything else in life tends to fall in place IMO.

 

[Hydrosun]

I agree on mind body diet importance, but it is such a shame to see that room knowing what other potential it has. Hopefully that part of your life is at maximum efficiency as well.

The gym is actually in a room down stairs. The upstairs is still empty. My parents where living up there while they built their place. They are out now. My pool table is upstairs. I just have to get it put together.

No worries though. I'm scouting some pieces of acreage by the house. I'm looking for ~10 acres off the beaten path (which out here is in the woods) with electrical. This would allow me to do some outdoor growing and build a permanent structure for growing that's offsite.

It's going to be ambitious. It's going to take some time to plan and execute, but good things come to those who wait. Obviously I will post everything on ICMag when I get it going. :friends:

I didn't say anything at the time when you announced you had found "true love" and were giving up growing.

Women come and go, even the smartest guys have to learn that the hard way, I know I did.

Don't give up what you love for some woman(or man), you will almost always regret it.

It gets old after a while, no matter how incredible they seem at first.

Happy to hear you will be firing that beautiful attic back up again in the future.

I handle women differently these days, I let the "bad side" really hang out in the beginning, I tell them right away that I smoke, then I make a point of smoking every time I'm with them for the first month or more.
Funny thing is, I've heard more then once a few months into a new relationship that I don't seem to smoke as much as before, lol, I tell them that's because I was testing you in the beginning.
I start off as a flaming dope fiend, and self absorbed ass, then I become nicer as I go along. Seems to work pretty well.

The only downside is I've created some massive stoner chicks, girls that never smoked much before are now fulltime all day smokers, lol.

So what's happenin these days Mr. G?
