tenerife is a pretty sweet place, my bro got married over there. it has a tacky side where it has been family holiday resorts for decades, then it has the countryside and some amazing scenery. i already know you will, but you have to cycle up the volcano, you get some epic views from there.

weather is great all year round, actually should be pretty similar to what you are used to but without the snow lol. you lived in la so you must have a bit of spanish in the arsenal, if not i'm pretty sure everyone on the island speaks english anyway :P


you will have a blast man, i would pack my speedo's any day

My childhood home is about 10 miles from the border and if I'm correct my childhood town has the highest percentage of Mexican folks of any town in so cal. So yeah.... I know un poquito español. Plus I took 8 years in school. I fucking better.

Our place is on the farming side, leave the rest to the tourists. I had hoped to get a bike while there so I'll put the volcano climb on the list. Apparently one can harvest outdoor 3 times a year. Sun always having around 12 hours a day.

It's wild that all the things my wife and I have done are sorta paying off. For instance me not working, and me keeping journals of my growing, and making friends in the Internet. It's like they say about just doing what you do and doing it well, something will come along and reward that effort.

And speaking of awesome, I got the results from a biopsy and it was good news. They don't need to cut a chunk of my arm out. Thank God!

Still numb from the dentist a month ago though. :/

Also plants are in the tubes now. Looking pretty healthy.

I'm thinking of trying an experiment of forgetting everything I think I know about growing and starting over learning like a noob. Only for soil this time around. I got hydro down, and there is obviously no hydro going on outdoors, so things need to change. My past soil fails are in the past! That's my declaration lol.

I plan on hitting the ground running so I need to figure out how the hell to run. Figuratively speaking.

It's nice I'll have a little help. :)

And I'll tell you... Your aren't jealous of having to go through the Spanish visa process. It's amazing all the stuff they want, and all certified, and all translated. I feel I will have jumped the biggest hurdle just by getting allowed in the country.

Luckily about the Spanish it is closer to Puerto Rican Spanish than mainland Spain Spanish. While Puerto Ricans don't sound like Mexicans, they sound closer to mexicans than to Spanish folks. I bet people there will get a kick out of my Mexican accent (in Spanish... I have no Mexican accent when speaking English, eh holmes)

You too dude. The rain has finally stopped and there are few sights more amazing than southern Cali after a good wash. Fucking beautiful. Maybe I'll snap some pics.

Got parents in law visiting, going out with the missus for the first time in over a month. We are definitely doing his parent thing wrong. I used to be best friends with my wife. Like for real my favorite person to be around and vice versa. Since the baby we could both kinda care less. We've spent time together maybe 8 times in the past 16 months. Pretty shitty. I'm hoping the island will provide a change. Get out of the race of life a bit, get to basics, and rediscover the love we both once had for each other.

I'm hoping that works at least. This shit kinda sucks.

About hydro outside, one of the local nurseries does a set-up of pick your own strawberries in hydro in their parking lot for the last 2 years. It's actually a pretty cool thing to drive by. They use the flood tubes and just have rows and rows of them with a shed with the res..I remember the owner telling me about his son experimenting with growing strawberries commercially hydro. Just wanted to share, I know this wouldn't work but it's interesting.

That sounds awesome, I'd love to just walk along a parking lot and pick strawberries, way better then crawling through the field. One of the hydro shops I used to live by has a tube setup in front of the store that they grow tomato in outside. The res is under the tubes I think so its pretty well blocked from sun and rain. He may even have something over it I never noticed.

There is an adjustment period bro. Just be honest and open
and it will work its way out. I do tell the younger bros that it is
the babies that really change one's life. They are a Blessing, to
be sure, but a burden as well.

I have run hydro in my back yard. I grew some vegetables in tubes. I had the res in a hole so it was partly under ground. I think the hole was 18" deep so a little over half of the water was below grade.
I never bothered watching temps or anything. Just kept the res topped off with water from the hose and it worked well.
