What did you accomplish today?

I'm cleaning the front wall in the livingroom. With 2 people smoking cigs it gets nasty after awhile. I may need a case of 409 to finish the whole livingroom. It is getting closer to the color I painted it 20+ years ago.

Have you ever used this stuff...I like the one in the green box better I think, but this stuff melts tobacco and grease away like nobody's business, and it's like $5 a box

I did that for a long time.....price ofcigs here in NY has been sky rocketing for years.
Think about 12$ a pack....we do have many Native American reservations around where you can get a decent price

Is that Cayuga Lake by chance? I've meant to ask you that a few times and now that you say NY....

I make my own with "pipe tobacco". Can't afford to buy them. I think it's $80 a carton now.

I did the same thing for a while, rolled my own with a machine....I was buying them from the Indian reservations too...That was a great deal at first.

That's what I use with some vinegar (the one with phosphate)

The TSP leaves a film. The addition of vinegar etches it into anything metal. This causes future coating failures. Missed your application needs.

Use straight and rinse with water. Or use vinegar dilution to acid etch as a prime able base coat.

I'm back. Sad but true.

I looked for that (the real stuff) a while back and I guess some states have banned it?

Its brutal outside right now. I just took my dogs out. Took one step onto the porch and turned around and came back inside to put coveralls on.

The dogs arent phased and actually love leaping over the massive drifts.

Lucky for me I have no metal embedded in my painted walls, thanks.

No.. Thank you! As I hope it is an abode stucco hybrid. Mostly aluminum siding on trash trailers in my wold. And poor housing siding. He he and ha ha.

For about five days in a fucking row , I've had to shovel my fucking ice skating rink. Just keeps fucking snowing , blowing and fucking drifting over rink.
The weather is suppose to get above freezing next week, want to keep ice clear of snow that would otherwise stick to the smooth glassy ice. Great exercise and you don't get cold even if it is neg 3 degrees ....plus it's a good excuse for not fucking house cleaning

Got some horns on my demon's head...starting shoulders tonight.

Gonna dump a few hundred pounds of sugar oak ash in front of my insane greenhouse pedestal fans on Monday. Had it with the F-N ice here. My drive will melt before the big storm coming.

I have some phosphate free stuff like it. I would probably use it if I was planning on painting. I think it pulls too much of the surface coating off. Phosphates are banned here, "bad for the environment".

Well when you get done, my walls could use a washing too. When I was younger, washing all the walls in the house was an annual thing, because i smoked too. I can't even fathom doing it now.

I just ordered some new eyeglasses, and they now offer a anti fog coating...You know damned well I got it...with masks, glasses suck extra bad. My favorite eyeglass store....Zenni. I got what would be a $400-500 pair of glasses at a brick & mortar through them for $140...top of the line everything with all the bells and whistles.

I did get the beginnings of a hoop house built even though there is 16 in of snow on the ground got to clear it out hopefully we'll get some pictures taken with a phone that doesn't have the camera lens on it smashed to Oblivion. I do have a quick question for you guys do any of you have enough experience with indicas over the years where you could point to a specific point where the tallest Indica we're growing why are the Indy cuz I'm seeing all the sudden so Squad and short I've seem to remember them getting Christmas tree type heights when I was a kid

Perhaps this link will assist you in your search for answers.


Welcome to TnT.

Damn it's quiet around here!!

I managed to trim 2 smaller plants this afternoon, a Dracarys and Black Lime Bubba. Easy trimming, zero larf.

Then made home made mac & cheese for dinner, even though I had to choke it down.

And I have a heated garage lined up to work on my ATV plow vehicle, only about 5 minutes away, so perhaps!!

Pretty damn close...Cayuga is east from the lake I'm on. You're right about butts from reservations..." That was a great deal AT FIRST"

Nice...I know all those lakes. From about age 25 to 45 I was heavily into boating and water skiing, and had a bunch of similar friends, and every weekend we would head to a different one. Skaneateles Lake was one of my favorites that must be close to you....I was always just blown away by how clean the water is. You can be in 15' of water and see the bottom. A couple friends were into scuba diving and that was a favorite place to dive too.

I sure miss those days!

Doing my taxes, not yet accomplished

Oh what a day working in the cold. The ATV wouldn't start so no taking it to my buddys heated garage. I couldn't even move it to the sun. But I got the side cover off to inspect the belt. and it's fine. I have a few ideas what the problem is, but it was getting dark...I have to take the plastic cowl off of it tomorrow to get to things.

Man, I am sure wishing I installed that woodstove out there like I wanted too. I wouldn't use it often probably, except for projects like this.

Best news....There's snow on the way, and quite a bit....7" Thursday and another 3" on Friday, which translates to anything from 2'' to 3'.

Sometimes it is nice to get stoned and just stare into a wood fire.
