I am not a jealous person ..... but every time i look at your garden 3rd .... i get this little cringe right in my gut !!!! its like .... FUK i need a better spot !!!!

Yeah a little bird told me that phillthy & his wife were popped & spent 5 days in the slam . they're out on bail & more than likely talkin to a good lawyer . I told Frank that if he needs ANYTHING to just ask .
no i don't have any details .... i just know what i was told .
so PLEASE guys ..... Be safe & carefull as you possibly can . & Unc .... get that card ASAP !!!! whether you think you need it or not . anybody that can have one & doesn't ..... GET IT NOW !!! its not a get outa jail free card .... but as long as you comply with their rules .... you can grow & smoke a free man .

Morning fellas

Crappy news to hear about phillthy.

Oh, and I know how you guys feel, I just saw a pic of SL's glue room. Drooling over here. I just went through his pics and damn, he's got the setup.

Makes me want to knock down a wall and double up but I won't do that until it's a little safer out there for a brother.

If it makes you feel any better it looks like I messed up with the Galadriel x White OG. A couple of them are stretching nicely but a couple are not. I may be lucky to hit a lb on this screen. The one there in the corner is just not a stretcher at all.

Oh well poor poor me. Glue will be coming soon enough.

Im thinking of getting a second scrubber to attached to a fan just running in the corner of the room in addition to the one attached to the lights.

Its impossible to know at this point if the glue smell was what did it, but ya cant be too careful.

Sending positive vibes to Phil and fam

Thats some sad news indeed.... But anyone who possibly can get a card, should.... it is an extra layer of protection legally.

That room of his is fukin killer !!!! add another one to the You SUK list !!!!

Theres no way in hell i could ever do something that large here !!!! even your room 3rd .... i think would be pushing my luck !!!! maybe someday NY will get on board .... but even if they do .... i doubt i'd ever go to that extent . i'd be happy with 4 lights in flower & 2 in veg ..... that would supply me with more than i could handle .

 

[unclefishstick]

oh yeah,i already have almost enough saved up to get the whole process done,it basically cost 600 bux from start to finish...thats why im getting my large plant technique down...only allowed 4 in flower and im going to abide by the rules with the occasional exception for seed runs,but even then i will keep it small...the law allows patient to patient transfer of excess meds and the other patient is allowed to reimburse you for cost of production for meds you "gift" to them....

Might be a good idea pappy !!! especially when it comes to drying the glue !!! i did it once in an open space with little scrubbing & i'll NEVER do it again !!!! i purposly made my veg room with a 6" fan & 6 x 24" scrubber for drying between runs !!!

Ahhh, that's better.

I'm on track to start December with 800 gallons of RO. I figure I get about 10 gallons a day back in condensate so hopefully it will last me until the spring thaws come around in march.


The rest of this came down today and it did chunk up a bit over the last week. Thinking I might very well get a lb off this.

If you look close you can see there are still some big tops to had.

feelin pretty dumb today...been having some knee issues after the 100k ride...kind of felt like i needed a bit more height from the seatpost but had convinced myself i was at max extension already....so i went down to the shop to order a new,longer seat post....when they took it out wouldnt you know,still like another inch i could have used....all of a sudden with just another couple of millimeters height no knee pain

im a dumbass,i admit it....

its probably going to rid me of the residual arm numbness as well....


went and stocked up on foods of the genre..."just add boiling water and cover" or the ever popular boil in bag....quite a bit of stuff available these days,im going to have to try some of the freeze dried backpacker meals,maybe they have come a ways since they were only edible because you were so hungry...good thing about online reviews these days...
going to try for two nights out this week,going to camp at the same park and use it as a base,just go later in the day the first night and get set up,maybe ride around the immediate area and see whats in "town" store and restaurant wise.then get up the next morning and just ride the bike with no trailer up to a nearby town famed for its chili and go out and eat...should be about 25 miles each way so a pretty good days riding,and camp out a second night and then ride home in the morning....

gonna bring waaaaay more food this time...

 

[WaterBear]

That's been my SPOT for years. I started going up there after I met Matt at a show (Hookahville? I'm really dating myself here..) - I bought a heady piece and he packed it and smoked with me 'til I couldn't smoke no mo'..

Love, love, love Hookahville (or The Ville as it's called now) Been going since '97

I wonder if theres a safe way to donate money to a legal fund? I dont have much, but id love to throw $50 bucks in. If enough people did, it could really help.

Maybe I can start a thread. Ill look into it.

Pappy ... leave it alone for now !!!! nobodys even posted that he was busted yet & they're might be good reason for it !!! so leave it be !!! i let frank know that if he or phill need anything ... all they gotta do is ask .

wait till the info is put out to the forums before you do anything like that .... it could cause all kinds of problems !!! good intentions or not .

 

[pappy masonjar]

Got ya.

Super jealous btw unc.

I havent had the chance to sleep under the stairs for years. Nothing more peaceful imo. I like blowing smoke at the moon too.

And I love SW food. Its hard to come by out my way. I can get decent mexican, but thats different.

A couple MM of height difference in the seat post makes that much difference ???? I never thought about it that way . i always just set it to a comfortable height & left it like that . raised or lowered the handle bars where they were comfortable & rode it .
ya learn something new everyday

what he said...

this is a fine example of not stepping into someone elses business,its great to feel compassion for people here,but unless you actually know them in real life its best to keep it at arms length....anything of that nature is going to have to be set up by his peeps anyway,not to mention vetted and approved by admin and mods....

if yah wanna donate,donate to the red cross,theres going to be tens of thousands of people in the phillipines who will need it...

 

[Hammerhead]

it is confirmed Phil did get pinched..The info came direct from him.. He is out on Bond right now. lets all hope its not serious.

Dan&Unc are correct theres no way to setup something like that here. It would have to be done outside of ICM. To keep all safe its just not feasible to do.. If I get more info and I can post it I will let you all know how he is doing.

oh no,let me disabuse you of that notion right now,you cannot get good mexican food out there! lol no more than i can get a good bagel here!


yeah,its good to be getting back out,the reward for getting my ducks lined up here with the garden and being here every single day for the last almost 2 years....slowly but surely its all coming together after years of struggle and bein broker than broke can be...yup,the door is open to the world now,all it takes is time and desire and i can go anywhere...

biomechanics are a bitch,when you're talking spending hours in the saddle those millimeters count for sure,and maintaining proper pedaling form is crucial for efficiency and not getting injured over the long run...plus i have loads of old injuries i need to be aware of not aggravating...its an endurance sport,part of that is enduring whatever it is you're doing...thats why i have been taking it slow and adding to the number of hours in the saddle rather than focus on the mileage..you're way better off taking it easy and just putting in the time rather than thinking im going to ride x number of miles today in x number of hours so im going to need to hammer away at the pedals to do that...slowly but surely my range is extending so now i can do 30 miles no problem so now im getting up to 40 miles in a ride and should be hitting 50 and 60 miles soon...pulling the trailer is different of course...slow and steady...it burns about twice the calories...6-800 calories per hour towing..
