What did you accomplish today?

Nope, black crack brew until death.
Tea is what people give you when they think you're dying.
What you are actually saying is "more coffee".

I usually have 3 or 4 cups of black coffee every morning. I find it helps keep my appetite down. Plus I just like it. It gives me time to consider the day.

Just finished mowing the lawn. Picked up some dead branches, stupid cherry trees seem to drop dead limbs a lot. Did church, then some French toast and sausages. Real maple syrup. Life is good.

Had enough coffee for one cup so we used the espresso machine

I hear ya...

I made a couple spacers for the TP holder in the front bathroom, I guess it was designed before the mega rolls existed. They should fit in there fine now without dragging on the cabinet. Replaced an "adjustable" sprinkler head that refused to be adjusted anymore, I have a feeling it was modified by Roxy attacking the water.

More paving today, the kids are helping me make a mess doing a screed to create a bit of fall. It's taking a bit longer to do but I the time with the kids is awesome

Had enough coffee for one cup so we used the espresso machine, it worked. Got tired of looking at an overgrown lawn so I mowed it. It's usually my son's job but with the smoke it has delayed him doing it, so I knocked it out before the smoke thickens.

Great job, motivation is hard to find with a hazy smoke hanging everywhere.

Sheet mulching our parking strips.

Broke one of the tops all the way off instead of bending it over, guess I didn't mash it enough before trying to bend it. These plants are a little, more fibrous(?) than the last ones I did.

LOL I was just going to ask if @raratt was using silica

The Megacrop raratt is using has it in it and does make the cake more susceptible to snapping when supercropping.

I use a sharpie. Squish the stem between the sharpie and tip of you’re thumb. I’ve been doing it that way for a long time. It will usually do a cleaner job. i might lose only about 1 out of 300 using the sharpie.

I upgraded my exhaust from four inch to six inch. I bought a cheapo fan on amazon for $45 figuring they're all the same. It seemed a bit louder than the four inch... it wasn't until I got into bed that I noticed it sounded like a vacuum cleaner running in the basement. Replaced it with a vortex fan and can't hear a thing in the bedroom with it running on full blast.

I count two 180 degree bends in the first 6ish feet = not good, a huge loss of efficiency. Try straightening that out & use ridged tube versus the flexible if at all possible.

lol I didn't show the outside pic last time you said something about that hose.

It comes out and goes to the roof of the grow room then goes to the ceiling between the wood over to the window where there's another 90° bend as it goes out the window. It's about 12 feet total length. I was looking at 6" ducting at home depot the bends seem not too difficult, however the straight parts seem to be sold as sheets of metal that you have to make into tubes yourself. Maybe I'm missing something.

Mowed the last section of overgrown lawn this morning before it warms up. AQI is not good again, and we have smoke overcast. I'm hoping it doesn't cool and settle to the ground. My lungs seem to be OK though.

Nope you’re not missing anything that is exactly how it works. But it’s easier than you might think.

Hahaha I guess we have a different a pinion on duct . But I’ve been doing it since I was 8 years old so I guess it is just second nature for me, I hope I didn’t confuse her.

That video made sense. You think it would be easier to just sell it already assembled.

How much more efficient would it really be with that type of ducting? I'm just deciding if I want to spend $80 on ducting and stand on a ladder all day if it's only going to be an incremental gain that I won't notice.

OMG...I might need to change my shorts. Just finished cleaning my vape and was about to use it...Thank God I didn't.

In pulls a shiny new red van with "Office of Emergency Services" and "Fire Investigation" lettering...My heart starts beating faster. I'm thinking there was a fire at one of my rentals....or worse yet, they know about something they shouldn't. I go outside, and the guy says are you__________ _________ ? Yes I am...he gets out, and he has a pistil on his side. At this point, I'm scared, thinking these guys are under cover cops! I never seen a fireman with a pistol before!!

They supposedly were doing Covid inspections and they thought I had a business here. I said nope, I'm a retired Realtor with copd...They were friendly, we chatted a minute, and they left....but how fucking weird!! I thanked them and said i was glad to see them out doing inspections!! Yikes!!!!

I use the flex stuff, but try to have as few bends as possible.

Went to New Brighton beach had some chips and gravy, screwed up my keto ha, walked around beach area and then home to just browse on here.

Gloves....make sure they are on
