I'm a lil more rite up on his ass,,when he's wielding the Ol' red rider ......gotta keep my testicles,car windows,cat,dog,and whatever else seems like it would be cool to shoot safe .....momma freaks out every time were collecting cans or drawing a boogie man on a peice of card board for him to slay .....she knows the the BB gun is coming out .

She's the total ((you'll shoot your eye out)) type of momma ...

Christmas story to the T

My luck he won't hit me in the testicles with a gun,,until he's old enough to play with dad's gamo pellet gun or I buy him his first 22 ....a real testicle reducer .....oh well I'm done having kids ....that's the plan anyways ((kids wise)).....I'm sure il lose one or both to an accident with one of the boys ....sigh....
Good plan!
When I was very young, my parents let me shoot my BB gun unattended because I passed a hunter safety course.
Big mistake.
That privilege was revoked after I ventilated our sliding glass door. Dad happened to be sitting at the dining room table with a stack of bills, writing checks & swearing. When I shot the door, it showered him with glass bits, and he was so mad he couldn't speak. I thought he was going to kill me, but he just snatched the gun out of my hands and put it in a "safe place" for six months. :cry:

It's been years so I'm really only familiar with pf. First hand anyway. I do know that I'd like to get away from cakes and do some casings. What do you prefer/recommend? I've read alot about birdseed and popcorn.
well im a noob in mycology so im giving myself a decent setup for success first and foremost. im practicing BRF with cubes and would like to work with cyans, wine caps and shiitakes. I read a really nice TEK for shiitake recently that used the standard BRF recipe but with the addition of chopped wood skewers. it turned out nicely with 3 flushes in a SGFC. i wonder if it would work with pan cyans??? eh .. maybe just popcorn or grain spawn. really i would like to grow perpetually so i have a hardy amount of mycelium going into my compost pile down the road... i dont sell squat and wouldnt know what to do with more than an ounce of cubes lol

I was given a BB gun at 8 and had it put away until I was 9. I shot at everything. My friends and I would even shoot at each other.
I do feel bad about all the birds, lizards and squirrels I shot. I should of got my ass beat for that.
Parents were Ok with it though.

Both bird seed and popcorn are pretty easy.. I use bird seed.. then to 60/40 Coco coir/vermiculite. Really easy. I never ran cakes lol. When I first started a few years back I just jumped right into it with tubs

My very first time was one of those kits. They were still doing tubs back then. Now I think it's just bags. Anyway it produced way better than any cake I ever did. So I'd like to do some casings. I got 30 hrs of overtime last week working out of town. Yes 30. So todays paycheck will be spent on a kayak, metallica tickets, spores and seeds. And more bison steaks. Hopefully it goes well. Been probably a decade since I've done cubes. Did some oysters last year that produced great.

Ripped out downstairs bathroom/shower.
View attachment 3912090
Encountered problem removing toilet. It was cemented in instead of screwed down like normal. Chipped out cement and FUCK! No flange. Just a goddamn 1962 terra cotta pipe on a fucking angle.
View attachment 3912092
Called a plumber (who isn't actually a plumber anymore but still knows his shit)
Installing a flange tomorrow morning, laughed and said he's seen the same thing before a dozen times. *relief*

Got new bathroom @ Lowe's. Just add labor and semi-skill.
View attachment 3912096 View attachment 3912097
3 fake brick walls (2 surrounding toilet) and white ceramic tile for shower walls, charcoal small ceramic for shower floor.

I'll be busy a few days. I fucking HATE not having my personal toilet and shower, so I'm using the basement facilities at the other house, my daughter and her bf rarely use the basement anyway. Still a pain in the rear which is why I lived with a leaky shower for 4 months.

I can't wait till this remodeling is complete. 15 fucking months now on a 1939 construction and 1962 construction. Seems like it never ends.

I'm ready to suck caulk.

Not really, but I'm burning out and haven't had a running grow room since Jan. '16.
Suddenly I'm depressed again.

Long day. Maybe tomorrow will go smoother.
I have to do my toilet at some point. Mid 40s house, original toilet, cast iron flange, cast iron 4"pipe in the basement. The tub drain is tied in and has rotted the cast iron in the basement from the inside from dripping for years. I wrapped it with some military issue sealing tape to band aide it. Its my only bathroom, so I'm probably going to have to bring in a Porta potty when I try to do it. I'm no plumber and hoping I don't get it apart and go "WTF F did I get myself into."

Oh yeah ,,when I was around 10 with two older brothers we all had our little lever action BB guns and so did our friends ......we'd have full on paintball style wars on our ranch ....safety goggles were the only rule. I remember taking off my shirt at night and it looking like I had chicken pox from all the little red dots on me .........getting hit in the fucking finger was the worst ....pretty sure I learned to say fuck as a child because of a BB to the knuckle ..........then my middle brother who decided running around wasn't as fun as laying up in the bushes ((sniper style))....decided to bring his 10 pump out one day with pellets .......guess who took the first shot with that......I remember the feeling really didn't hurt/sting like a BB it was more of a ,,charlie horse pain and lots of blood ....hit me in the calf ((thankfully))

It's amazing that we made it to adulthood!

As a teen we lived in a farmhouse outside of Delano, ca, towards the hills surrounded by thousands of acres of orange orchard.
Talk about boring! We'd have to make our own fun and without supervision it seemed to take a turn towards the destructive.

Nice. What's on those 2 points center and left?
Just a big park kinda thing, I believe 1 may have a golf course and is private property.

Haven't been down there in a while. Its a 2 hour or so trek from my house just to the bluffs.

Can get some great photography shots tbh. Toronto is quite beautiful outside of downtown but even that has some beautiful older buildings, close to water.

Lots of cool murals in "the beach" area 20170321_142132.jpg
