What did you accomplish today?

Did my federal taxes, letting my brain take a break before doing the state ones.
I have that on my radar too....But I am really stretching it out...Going to "gather" this month and "prepare" next month....and hopefully paint my bathroom next month too.

Too much going on in my scrambled brain ATM :dunce:

I'm about to make bubble hash...the trim has been in a cooler with dry ice for 2 days, out on my cold garage. I'm positive it's 40 below zero...The trichs should be about jumping out of the bag, lol

And I am re-thinking the QWET...I cooked it off at 235F in an oil bath. I was reading the Source Turbo machine cooks it off at 100F, so perhaps I had it a little too hot...and I was only working with 15 grams of bud...I imagine a much larger quantity is actually easier to work with....But I should have gotten at least 2 grams of oil from what I have read, and it was nice sticky bud.

But when cooking I was down to about 1 gram of oil and it still had alcohol in it, as it was still bubbling...I went ahead and put it in a CCell, and it's like the consistency or baby oil, and it got darker in color. It actually vapes pretty good, but tastes less than stellar.

I only did about a 5-7 minute wash too....Lots of things to try and improve upon, but the first run was so very disappointing, especially when I had that beautiful golden wash...Ugh!

If it was easy everyone would do it, and I am going to have to set up a recovery system so I don't blow the place up! I felt like Walter White yesterday, except Walter made some good shit!!!

I had a pleasant experience with EBay last night. They now are using customer support agents from Ireland, and I talked to 3 who were all super polite and helpful...By the end of the evening, I had a $120 refund on a Chinese bike battery, AND I still have the battery!! The seller wrote me and begged me to remove my negative feedback since he "gave" me the battery. Ha, slim chance of that happening!!

We're still way behind, these little piddly storms aren't amounting to much. I saw images of Folsom lake yesterday, still a big ring around it.
it's still early however it's better to get snow late in the season. There have been times with no snow in the sierras this time of year. I believe the upper sierras are getting more snow. I'm hoping not to need water delivery this year. Because of this we have cut back our plans and will only grow inside the greenhouse this season, nothing outdoors...

also they keep Folsom Lake low this time of year, the American River can dump pretty hard this time of year so they always keep the lake from filling all the way. I used to work directly below Folsom Dam and the entire prison would vibrate from the rumble of the water rushing from Folsom Dam and right by the prison....all the green area to the right in this picture is Folsom Prison. The inmates locked in their cells just below the dam were pretty worried then the dam broke in 1995...i was there that day:oo_O

What happened with the battery?
It was the first one I had ordered from China. Bottom line it was a sleazy seller who got what she deserved. It's only a 13-3 battery that they were claiming to be 48 volts and 58 Ah, which I'm pretty sure isn't even possible out of that 39 batteries.

The 2nd one seems OK, although I'd like to have it tested and see if it really puts out 20 amps...It is holding a charge ok at least.

inmates built the original Folsom Dam back in the 1880's. It was the first hydro electric dam on the west coast, to supply power to Sacramento and help control flooding in the Valley. Folsom prison is built on a giant granite quarry...used the same rock to build the Folsom prison walls...
