Yeah I remember butcher shops but I grew up right when that shit was kinda phasing out. Everyone is happy shoppung at walmart or jewel and u get whats packaged already. I have a small ass grocery store 2 blocks from my house now and it hads a nice little butcher shop corner. Small ass selection but it's all really good besides the italian sausage, they need to work on those lol. Out by my mom's up near Wisconsin there is some butchers I go to and it cost a bit but the quality is top notch. I also shop at a restaurant supply house in Wisconsin with grass fed items and buy bulk steaks and fish and beef. I try to stay outta Wisconsin besides that.
I work in a rubber factory, I could make those out of pure neoprene from the peices we throw away for about .50 each, I could get a die made to cut them from from raw materials and get them out around 1.50 each, they'd be black instead of green and wouldn't have the cool logo though
I still get those and have come to the same conclusion, I need to start using a call mag instead of just an epsom salts see if I can't clear it up
i was thinking i might have to work some cal mag in there as well, at least until i can build my own and not have to worry about it
It might me cal mag. I only do .5 teaspoon per feeding. I never thought about that! I'm no pro either brother u don't come off rude or nothing imo I appreciate your input, it's always welcome round here!
I have some calcium powder for reptiles, but I'm not sure if it's water soluble, it's taken orally by my tort, but I'm not sure if it's easily broken down or requires enzymes of some type(I'm in Coco)
You should start doing that! I bet u could make a decent bit of cash making ur own collars. Especially if they can be reused and sterilized I'd be buying those.
I already make my own for my diy bubble cloner, that way I can make the plugs any size I need, I can do 9 small cuttings in a very small space that way
i mean shit man, all they do is hold a stem at the right height, no need to be 3" diameter?
Not bad looking. Looks pretty Profesional I'd say. The rubber hose is a nice addition. Makes for easy insert and extracyion of the collars I'd bet, perma clone collars are a bitch to get in and out. If I'm tight on space I'll stick 2 clones in 1 collar. Then u can do double the clones in the same amount of space.
Gives it a nice rounded edge, I make my collars dish) ( <---side view so they are wider at the top and bottom, but narrow in the middle, the stem thickness makes it flat again so you don't need a super tight fit
and they still hold the tips just above the waterline where the bubbles can do their thing
I actually got the local Foods Co (Kroger) here to cut a tritip into steaks for me so I feel like a winner haha. Customer service has fallen and given way to rude employees and high prices.
I bet it could be chlorine from the tap as well maybe, I never thought of that. I usually try to let the water sit 24 hrs but sometimes that's not an option.
I try to let it sit out as well, but last week I found out the water jug I set out the night before to evap off the chlorine she uses on her windows in the morning before work and then refills it FFS
some of us need day jobs....
I do 30 gallons a week so needless to say it's a pain in my ass.
Lmfao too funny!
Not that I believe what Govt agencies say, but my water district told me they have chlorine only and that our well water doesnt get a high dose of that either.
