What did you accomplish today?

always skeptical of members who joined 10 years ago, but have less than 200 posts. Like, what are you even doing here? I assume if your name is Dobby, socks are involved.

but just…why?

I can't speak for Dobby, but I think it was almost 10 years before I started really posting with any regularity. When I first joined in 2008, I used RIU as a grow manual, not a social platform. If I needed knowledge, I'd hit up the search feature. Like 99.9999% of all grow questions have been answered here in the past, I don't need to bother someone to get them to re-say what's already been said. There are states where it's still illegal to smoke, much less grow. So I can totally understand someone running a low post count. I wasn't comfortable at all posting until after we had legalization, that took another 8 years to happen after I created my username. Even then it took almost a year and a half for it to settle in that we wouldn't get tackled on the street for carrying a joint anymore.

Similar here. I joined a long time ago but wasn’t comfortable posting on RIU until recently. Have always kept a really small digital footprint and am still old school paranoid about “they” knowing what I’m doing.
I also stopped growing for a few years but came back to it a couple years ago.
Not someones sock, but by Metasynth’s metric I must look like one with the low post count.
I really just didn’t post until recently, but I do now and plan to keep doing so.

I need to get a life, meh, I'll just make another post.
Painted the aquarium stand and put the new tank on it, filled it, and put in the new heater. Might be warm enough by morning to put the fish in it. Gorilla glue makes a mess, I'll have to touch up the paint when it dries.
Gorilla glue is an essential standard addition to my tool kit. It has a place on the shelf with the Duct tape.

I did a few things today. Nothing special.
My biggest accomplishment today will be hitting the sack in a few minutes. Long day.
My grandaughters 1st birthday party is tomorrow. I’ll spend the night at my daughters and be poisoned all of monday. It’s hard kickin it with the kids nowadays.
Prob drink like 10 different booze concoctions, and some shrooms. Typical party over there.

I sat here contemplating this. Thinking yes some of the phenos from the reversal really did have a less than thrifty habit! I have no excuse, stone cold sober here. Ok maybe not fully caffeinated :lol:

First, the hard work this month. Glad that stuff is done, hate wearing all the hard hats, vests, glasses.

Powdercoat line, it takes finished parts thru the spray booth and into a vacuum oven, like Domino's.
Before it was automated, I used to bring stuff from home and hang it on the line as it ran, :-|

Back to the undersea cable factory...looks like extrusion coating on fiber optic

Tooling Shop, small place that can make anything, those are industrial food processor parts.

I found a new place to get stoned somewhere between those factory jobs, but can't remember where it is afterward. I've got it narrowed down to 2 states.
Nice rock ridge and cliff walk on the exposed granite, no trail or people

Also found a Norman settlement...a "Summer chapel" on the coast. There's another one up the coast, I'll check it out.

Huge greenhouse, mums and poinsettias are the next crops
I like the sliding grow tables, overhead track drive fertigation sprayers, and drip emitters for hanging planters.
