morning brochachos,

Im interested in your lil experiment too third. My 2 gal smarties when im done with them are literally like hockey pucks.....solid mass of roots. Im not sure if id be able to do that and ive also read if you use top shooter/booster that you arent supposed to reuse the coco.

lol,well its been a long time since i made it past midnight so theres that...turns out im partly solar powered apparently...once the sun goes down i start winding down...and even the tiniest glimmer of sunrise is enough to wake my bladder up....

well,off to go mountain biking of all things...taking an exploratory ride today to check out where i can get onto dirt the quickest...looks like i can get to the powerline road across the desert and follow that to where many of the longer local trails start...

Bunch of sleepy glue heads!

lol bunch of dead beats is what I say. I was out the door at 630 and straining gluebutter by 730. Gonna make some special Christmas cookies

 

[thewhitelotus]

Ohhhh ive got about a 2 or 3 cups worth of some very fine Romulan Diesel butter i made of trim/larf. Let it sit in the crockpot for almost 16 hrs!

Might whip up a batch of rice crispy treats now that youve mentioned it!

hell I am ready for a nap by 9am.
G don't get to heavy with that butter, you will have everyone stuck to the couch

Will be taking a lights worth down this weekend at some point which will be the GG#4's spot. Want to make sure the glue are big enough though so the spot will have to stay open for a week or two.

I highly doubt your gonna need that long
a few days to build roots then put them in . i'm quite serious when i say they damn near tripple in size !!!

7zips of trim to 2lbs of butter. Hope its not to strong
GG is the strongest I've had in a long time no doubt. I guess I've built up my tolerance already cause I wake and bake with GG and then go to work and smoke GG all day with out blowing anything up lol

 

[dansbuds]

LOL ... I can smoke it during the day ..... but not much gets done after i do i get a pretty serious case of the lazys !!!

 

[Smokin Joe]

Maybe thats my problem. I thought I was just naturally lazy

I'm sure I could "get away with" a week but I know generally what stem size I need to hold 8-12 zips and I'm not even close. Needs to be at least thumb size and these are just approaching pencil size.

You may be lucky to get even one male. ;-)

well that was quite a little ride....further proof the map is not the terrain...what looked like a nice straight somewhat easy road turned into miles of up and down on some rough ass 4wd drive road....fell over twice,broke another side view mirror i told myself i should just take off before i left the house since i was going mountain biking....tough ride,really got pounded...would have been an easier ride on the fully suspended bike for sure....


looks like another 100% sprout on the sssdh and c99 f3's over here...

Damn .... musta been rough if you fell off twice & broke a mirror !!! I'm pretty sure after all this time on bikes .... that your pretty sure footed on them by now .

 

[dansbuds]

Oh Shit guys .... they got Doc !!!!!

naw,i sort of suck at mountain biking,been a long long time since i did much,and it was on entirely different terrain...today everything was some combo of loose,steep,rocky,rough,sandy or just plain fucked up...
i would no sooner struggle up one hill than i was dropping back down the other side,and most everything was so rough i couldnt just let the bike go and pick up any speed,so even the downhill bits were no fun,i was just getting pounded by the handlebars on the descents and there were lots of arroyo bottom crossings but it was just all so rocky....almost never a clean line...the surly is not what you would call a nimble bike either,it doesnt carve a nice tight turn or react all the quickly to input,it does climb really well,i fell over because i suddenly lost all momentum and couldnt get unclipped in time so i just benny hilled over...did some pretty good climbing though,some longer less steep hills with those sudden gnarly grades....i was full on rock climber yelling to get up some of them...really just cranking out as much as i could.....
did see some great pugsly country out there,plenty of long ridgelines that could be climbed or descended not to mention all those sandy arroyos oven the ogre would founder in....

anyway,still a good little ride,if nothing else it was a serious workout,smoked a big fatty joint at one of the other trailheads for one of the older mountain bike trails...next time...i was looking for an easy way to get to the trailheads but it looks like it will be just as easy to ride the roads out there...

Still sounds fun though unc.

Well one load of wood gotten and stacked, turned around and went and got the Xmas tree. Fresh cut of course, even left the chainsaw at home and used the hand saw.

 

[unclefishstick]

better than working at any rate!

Dammit Doc, whata did we tell you about interspecies fornication.

You need to be married b4 that shit is kosher


No tree today. Got snow tires instead. Those things are spensive.
Hopefully get the tree tomorrow, depending on how bad this storm really is. Right now its hail/freezing rain. Nasty stuff.
