Thanks masonman! Unfortunately, I just found out while checking for salt buildup, I have my first batch of hermies ever. :( Nanners on 4 of 6. Only a couple on each but you know the stories. If you see one.....yep. So 4 girls down at about 7 weeks flower. I left 1 blue mystic and 1 super skunk, No nuts. If the show up Ill leave them to get some beans....Maybe, or Snip Snip. Pictures in a few. Just gotta trim and hang them.

I ride my bicycle to the store in town and the post office. Its a good practice for everyone, it helps keep you young and healthy.

I was sort of where you are before selling my trucks. They were both 5.6l V8 Titans loaded with tools and materials just about every day of the week and my wife drives an SUV so our fuel costs were pretty high. An average of 750 miles per week were put in the trucks so I had to get an account with a fuel company just to keep up. 1500 Miles each week at an average of 16 MPG gets expensive. I don't miss getting the gas card bill at all, hehe.

I have a few options for transportaion. 1200cc bike, 2.5L 4 cyl., and 327 with a 2 barrel carb. Gas prices make me laugh, the oil prices go up for a million different reasons. Check out the movie duchie metioned. Think about this, the CRX HF got over 50 miles to the gallon....they stopped making them in 1991. The new CRZ is getting something around 37.....huh?!?!?! The CRZ is a hybrid, the CRX is an old school honda 4 banger. I had a CRX, not even the HF model, and I got 52 miles to the gallon on the way to mammoth. I believe it was the DZ-16 motor, or something like that. Not trying to get too conspiracy theorist, but if honda was making a non "HF" motor that could get 52 miles to the gallon in 91, why is the hybrid getting 37 in 11???? Do car makers own gas companies?

Huh good point Stictly Seedless. Hey do you all remember the guy who reinvented the carburator to burn fuel more efficiently. He boasted significant gains in MPG in a few diffrent vehicle platforms. Then again you probably have not heard much about him becasue he scared the oil industry to death with his creation. I think they paid him to shut the fk up or else IMO. GREED god help us.

Wow, @ 1.2 BP = 1.89 CDN which is currently above the US dollar. Something DST said slapped me right in the face and woke me up, actually it was a question.



I never thought of it that way. The more fuel efficient cars we choose to drive, thinking we're helping our pocket books, the less fuel is consumed resulting in fuel prices being driven up to make up for the shortfall. What the feck is the sense then? I know it still helps the the atmosphere and I'm definitely all for that but cmon, they still got us by the balls. Even more reason to push for electric, but then you need to plug it in and you know those prices aren't locked in, so, I don't know, the only thing they don't control are my legs so I guess I'll have to buy a bike.
Funny thing the price of oil. In the united states many regular working americans believe in the supply and demand system controlling things. I say bullshit and oil is the perfect example. Here the gallon is the measurement system. I'm paying $3.10 a gallon. To fill my van it takes about sixty or seventy dollars. If supply and demand does indeed control the prices of things, why would the price go up if supply kept the same but demand fell? Can anyone in their lifetime remember a true oil shortage? OPEC grabbed us by the balls in the early seventies but there was no oil shortage to support the jump in prices, it was pure manipulation. Now the price of a barrel of oil is again outrageous, why? Because speculators in oil around the world are driving the price up again, it has not a thing to do with an oil shortage or demand. We are far behind as far as alternative energy or for that matter conservation than the EU. We have a country full of a so called conservative party that is pro business. They want to drill for oil everywhere, tote guns everywhere, drive big american cars, have no regulations on industry or wall street while telling us how they are conservatives. The only thing about them in my opinion that is conservative is their thinking. I believe they are still stuck in the Ozzie and Harriet days where dad was the king, mom wore a dress to cook dinner and the kids didn't dare sass their parents. The older I get, the more cynical I become about any organized anything. I still have faith in the everyday man to do the right thing, I just have no faith in business or government doing the right thing. Why does a person making millions want to become a congress person making not even two hundred thousand a year? Why do so many millionairs run for office in america? Why is big business now allowed to donate as much money as it wishes to a candidate? The everyday american is becoming nothing more than the cash cow with our taxes for the powerful. In my opinion there are three kinds of power, political, money and religious. I'm still trying to figure out which is the most corrosive?

Edit...I'll never run for office, I don't want crosshairs ending up on my picture. I'm not a religious person. That leaves money. I'll keep buying my lottery tickest and hoping for that group excursion to the dam. If money does corrupt, we should be a well corrupted bunch upon our return to the states.

I'm like you HU and I'm doing everything I can to show it all to my daughter. We have a very open relationship with her, my wife and I, because we think that it is the best thing that we can give to her in order to have a chance in this world. We do not believe in sheltering children from TRUE knowledge. The best way to oppress is to sustain ignorance.

OK, funny song time? Might have been around, I dont know.

Oh for the love of super harsh berry flavored scissor/finger hash.......an elbow wet :( Too bad they didnt get to swell up fully.

My wife is using my drying rack to dry blueberries for the chinchillas at the moment, so I had to fasten something together real quick.

As soon as I can duchie, rep to you. Nothing to do with growing, simply for the way you and your wife are handling your daughter. I am a firm believer in not sheltering your kids. Truth, or truth to the best of your knowledge is always the best way to go in my opinion and it should especially extend to your kids. Most parents make the mistake of being overbearing parents. I was always a believer in giving them as much freedom as they could stand as long as they were willing to pay the consequences for their actions. I spoke to them bluntly. I was in a relationship for several years with a woman with two girls. As they started getting to that age, I started talking to them about boys and not to depend on some guy telling them they wouldn't cum in them. I told them both, early, get the pill, protect yourself do not depend on a boy. I am not insane enough to buy into the not my kid syndrome, kids are kids, if you don't guide them, someone else with bad info will.

For now, a tip of the hat to you and yours. Good job.


Oh, and yes, I am old. How about commander cody and his lost planet airmen, muddy waters, janis, we don't even need to speak her last name, Genesis when peter gabriel was with them. Watcher of they skys? Traffic, blind faith, the eagles when joe walsh was with them. I had forgotten all about moby grape until you posted that video. I went to the atlantic city music festival which took place about a month before woodstock and then the pocono festival, another three day event at the pocono raceway in the mountains of pennsylvania. I have seen so many of the old bands I can't remember half of who I have seen. My one true regret, I never saw Jimi.

Thank you HU, I appreciate that. We kind of take it a bit further though. We talk about a lot of things they just don't cover a lot in school. We fully disclose our finances to her and show her our budget when we come across that extra money somewhere. We had a pretty decent tax refund last year of a few thousand bucks and we showed her the very short list we put together of what to do with it. We talk about banks, insurance companies and credit card companies and how they fee and penalize us to death. How a real loan looks like with amortization tables and all showing how much the bank gets and how little your loan is paid off after 12.5 years of a 25 year mortgage. Better yet the the 110 plus percent the bank just made off you in that looooooong 25 years of your life. I mean everything, other than the obvious immoral shit and shame on anyone who thinks that, and I'm telling you, I have a young woman who is brilliant and very gifted and full of common sense, and won't take crap from nobody, not even me. Well I'm not as old as you but my sisters are, which gave me an earlier start then most my age, but that is quite a lineup there. My first show was 78 when I saw my favorite band EH, Rush.
