Finally had a break from the storms to put in a new strawberry patch. Instead of tilling I removed the sod then mixed in old cow manure. Mother in law is giving us more plants so we left some room. The ring is about 5ft in diameter.

I would volunteer at a VA in patient facility for veterans. Mainly WW2 vets.

One day I'm out walking with this guy. We make it out to the fence. Dude broke down crying and telling me it was fucked up all the stuff he had done and been through and couldn't leave. Locked behind a fence.

I tried to set it up where I could take him out. I was told it was too dangerous as he had dementia and at times would be back at war.

Broke my heart.

My grandfather won't talk about his time, all I know for a fact is he was involved in storming Iwo Jima. I tried getting him to privately record his memories once when I was in high school. He flipped out like I'd never seen, he was always very gentle, calm and soft spoken, but this time he grabbed me yelled at me and literally threw me away from him and left the room in tears. I felt so fucking shitty.

A couple years later, he had a heart attack. He was heavily sedate in ER when the Dr., a man of Asian decent, came in the room. My grandfather went after him, screaming about the Japs and invasion, his buddies that were dead, etc. Luckily, the Dr. was very understanding about the situation. He talked about his older relatives that were involved in the war and how they've had similar outbursts. Once my grandfather was more lucid, he apologized. It was a strange experience because I had never seen my grandfather act out on someone because of race, color, etc. He's always been a very accepting person.

Old news .........

I went to the Dr yesterday and as he always does he is giving shit about my blood pressure , so I asked myself " what would Gary say " and then I said to myself " No Don't Say That " and I went with " Hey Dr my right testicle hurts " and he examines it as he is finishing I ask " How is my BP now " . Was it a dirty trick or a good diversion , I bet he is still asking himself that same question..... Hahaha

Heard a loud peeping last night and didn't think much of it, woke up and could still hear it. Went walking around the yard and found this little guy.

I didn't know a baby sparrow could be so loud. It must've been blown out of it's nest during one of the storms. Tried looking for the nest/parents with no luck. We got it to eat and drink a little.

From what I read that was a horrible place and battle.

I'm so proud of my grandpa and that whole war effort , and sad that they had to endure it.

War is fucked up .

I've seen numerous outburst and whatnot over the years being raised around the military.

When I was 16 my buddy punched his dad in the eye. It later turned black. As soon as he hit him his dad lost it. He was a green beret. Went into full on combat mode. He was in the process of killing his own son with his bare hands. I managed to get him in a choke hold until he passed out.

Scared the shit out of me.

Cut some babies, drilled a bunch of buckets and transferred some ladies to go to flower soon. Goodbye hydro, hello soil. It'll be nice not having to deal with them every day if I dont want to. Now I just need to modify my hydro setupt to be a drip system and I'll have so much free time I won't know what to do. Engaging autopilot.

This is a plant I've named after GG himself ....I asked Gary about recycling soil a while back and after a few PM's explaining what I was using as amendments,he basically gave me a very precise and scientific answer/directions........He said...and I quote....((you can go heavy on that shit bro))...lol


So I did and let the soil cook

That's baby Gary .....the funny part is, it's a GG4 so it already had Gary's initials anyway.

Very healthy and strong my,camera flash fucked up the color some ...but it's gorgeous and it's my first soil recycle ....I'm pleased so far

Thanks @Gary Goodson

As you all know I grow mainly tomatoes and I'm only growing this one little plant this year .....il keep you all posted on baby Gary to the end.

So I ordered a new fan on Amazon and they ended up losing track of it somehow. So I bitched. And Amazon ended up sending me another fan for free and giving me a $10 gift card on top of a $15 prime discount. And said they're refunding me for the first one. But the first one got delivered today but still shows up as being lost at their facility. So I may have just got 2 $75 fans for free and $25 lol. So yeah, I basically accomplished fucking the man today.
