*I forgot to add to my (too) long-winded response, that I checked out your former drum instructor, Larry Ochitree, on youtube and found a few videos of him playing with the Kalamazoo Big Band, and YES!!!
I love that kind of playing!
You were lucky to have someone lke that as a teacher, but am sorry you lost your drum kit (f*ckin' thieves...).
Glad you found a new love in guitars, though!
I broke the news to my wife yesterday that if my fingers can't be sorted out so I can continue on trying to reach the level of bass playing I aspire to, that I'm switching to drums.
And also let her know about wanting to get either a Roland Octapad, or an Alesis Performance Pad Pro at the end of the year, regardless of what can be done to salvage my fingers.
I've been playing one or two musical instruments since I was 5 years old, and can't imagine NOT playing something, so was relieved when she was cool with me adding yet another instrument to my small collection.
Not sure I can budget in the cost of the Octapad, but I know I can save the money for the Alesis version, so it's a go with her.
Wive's like her a too rare.
(I love you, sweetie!
)
On a more somber note, I had to cut down the MTF clone in the flowering closet due to ball sacs showing up in random places.
Some where out in the open, and some where hidden in the new growths of female calyxes in the tips, and I even noticed some intersexed calyxes ("perfect flowers": a tragic oxymoron for us cannabineers).
I also cut down the MTF mother plant that it came from, and have decided to "retire" the remaining MTF seeds I have.
In the smaller growspace I have now for flowering, even one missed nutsack could 'splode and knock up the whole closet, so it was adios and via con diablos.
Sad to see it go, but there are far too many great, and stable genetics out there to fret over it.
The JDB Romulans are kicking ass, and will more than make up for the loss of the MTF, as none of them are showing any balls, and they are growing lush and beautimous!
And I went ahead and topped the Extrema seedlings as they were shooting up too quickly. Hoping that this will slow down growth for a bit so I don't end up running out of space to veg them until the JDB Romulans are finished up.
Onward & upward!
(*pics below were taken minutes before discovery of the hermied MTF, and I put a 2-litre Coke bottle in there to give a size reference)
