Veg so cute!!! How dare you. My garden is pretty damn great. Lost the big tent from my journal to an electrical failure, but I fucking dragged the small tent to the basement to save it. Got those issues fixed, and got a chucking project about done!Well we’re all glad to see you back with us. I figured @DarkWeb said something mean and ran you off
I’m good, enjoying the summer so far. Grow is going well, I’m still in the boring veg stage, I’ll probably flip next week. How is your garden doing?

These are just over five weeks old. I don't usually bother taking pics of seedlings. Growing in coco/perlite with GH Flora, still feeding them pretty lightly. I have done a little cleaning at the bottom so the carrots aren't crowded and I can see that they're working. I'm planning on...www.rollitup.org
And yeah, @DarkWeb just got out of hand, I needed a break from his goddamn attitude, ya hear?

Got a ride in on the e-bike. Building that was one of the best things I have done in a long while. You are going to have a blast LG!
I'm trying to talk myself into a little trimming. Maybe if I made some fresh dabs to go along with it.
I suppose I can go feed them, and see if any are screaming to be trimmed...I already know a few are. It shouldn't be too bad. (keep telling self that)

I learned to play chess at 8. I watched as some older neighborhood boys played.
Timmy lived just a few houses over so I asked him to teach me.
We spent the next 2 summers playing. I did not win any of the matches we played, although I learned a lot each match.
I taught my grandson to play at around 7 or 8 years old. He is a formidable opponent.
My grandmother gave me my first chess set. I still have it 50 yr later.
I have a travel set that used to be kept behind the bar of the restaurant. It is small, about 12"x12", and made of marble. The pieces are only about 1" tall.
It is in storage, sorry no pic.
My favorite is the hand carved camel bone set that I had commissioned in Egypt.
It took me 3 months of searching through different artisans' work in the Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo to find one that could produce the quality I demanded.
Pieces are made from camel bone.
The board from Sycamore, lapis lazuli and Mother of pearl among other materials.
The pieces are dyed using camel blood, tea and coffee.
The board has a Backgammon inlay on the inside, with camel bone chips as pieces (not pictured here).
I have not played a game of chess in a few years, my game has progressed to more cerebral endeavors.

Once upon a time a very long time ago. I was an avid chess player. I learned to play with a 3rd grade classmate. In the 7th grade I attempted to join the chess club. It was suggested I look into more 'female' pursuits.
The next year they were down 1 person to field a team for the tournament and were desperate. They kept looking for another guy. Finally they said you didn't even have to know how to play chess. Just agree to show up for the tournament. I thought well why the hell not. So Friday before the tournament I sauntered over to the library and offered my services.
They gladly accepted. That weekend I whipped everyone and took home the trophy. I refused to ever play another game of chess with any of them LOL. One of the best weekends of my life and an even better week after.
After I started working in the state hospital system I met an ex con who taught me more about chess than I thought any living person could know. He was an actual grandmaster and he whipped me every single time we played. I still kept playing him and never got any better LOL
PS I finally got so good it took him like 20 moves to capture my king
