Ill be working on the outdoor garden grow area today. All last years plants, stakes, and horta are removed. Its time to till the 350 gallon hole, then add a 2 x 6 redwood to make the hole semi raised bed. Im also moving a 2"x12" raised bed out of the orchard, and into the Kennel area. It will be filled with premium soil mix. It is just over 4' x 8', so I could grow a couple real big plants in there
well fuck!!!! i guess i didnt get the tires fully sealed,didnt even make it two fucking miles....grrrr....good thing i have a trailer with a bike rack on it,i give up on this one...
Well MOTHER FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ass hats at the local grow store pissed me off. Well not really pissed but you know what I mean. Before xmas I was in and talked to the owner about ordering me a light. No problem he says and we work a deal. I went in on the day he said it would be there. Well he didn't get the order done for some reason so he does it right then he says. well it's been 1 week past the next day he said it would be here. I went in this morning and he can't locate the ballast.Says he had it marked for hold and now it's gone. So he says he will order it again and have it by tuesday. I had him figure my cost again with tax. Fucker has jumped the price on me. When I called him on it he had no explanation for the $75 price jump. Wish I could find that piece of paper 
So what do I do know. Go backto amazon and save the now 175 bux or give the asshole 1 more chance ?

Sometimes ya gotta bite tha bullet and let the guy's that get paid for it do it. Then you can bitch when it goes bad lol
Hot Damn!! 3-0 in early morning soccer and pocketed $185 and even cleaned the house since i was up early. 
Closest hydro shop here has really inflated prices compared to ordering online...even considering shipping costs. Will only use hydro shop if item is too large to ship.
Speaking of which....FedEx just delivered some goodies for the grow room
Love that Saturday delivery.

fuck em go to amazon
you know my motto,shop local or dont bitch when your store doesnt have something you want or need.i could save loads of money on bike stuff shopping online,i just payed double for something that amazon had for 9 bux...but if i want a good bike shop in town i have to be willing to suck it up and pay them...you take the easy way out you end up a town with a walmart and thats it....
Unc my bitch isn't about money. It's about business ethics. They ordered a ballast for me then put me off a week, then sold my ballast to someone else, then jacked the price. Is that someone you want to depend on ? Could be why lots of businesses die. Not because people can get a better price but because of their practices.
I have 5 grow shops around me that I use. Someone always has exactly what I need, and they all give discounts on request. At least 10% off
time to tell them FUCK YOU and go somewhere else, if they cant respect you and do right they don't deserve your business
I proly do need to check some other garden stores to see if they carry lights and such. This 1 I found when driving by and they had a light in the window. They aren't really a grow store. They sell beer and wing making supply's. Good front 
Actually I agree with Joesy. If the guy cant keep his word, he has no honor. Not worth doing business with. The 2 shops I frequent have got me high, given me buds, and always give me discounts if at all they can.
yeah i agree that if the guy is jacking you around then fuck em,nothing says your ethics suck like an empty store...
well crap,a waste of a perfectly good day,i still managed to pedal bikes around for a couple hours so time to cut my losses and have something to eat and take a frickin nap...

I use Amazon a lot. I do give my local shop the first price quote. sometimes there prices are just outrageous. the mag 12 pump he wanted 142$ for it. I got it for $106 free shop no tax. I told him He just shrugged his shoulders. The place that had it for 106$ is a fish store that you can go inside to buy stuff. That fish place has great prices on pumps..
I got my JC book I will read it then put it with the rest ..
