^ Added the last 6 bags of the mulch pile to the barrio garden. I predicted there were 3-5 bags left. Close…6. Mulch pile done. This is ready to be planted. I’ll do that mid- end of April. For now I’ll keep it wet and cooking.

Got with the power company last week. My wife’s friend is upper echelon in their local office. She sent a dude out directly. I was obviously concerned about working in the wires. Dude told me all good…they are insulated. I’ll start the process today. I won’t find closure for my resentment towards the neighbors whose tree this is…until I get it done. They are utter weasels. I should not be the one having to fix this tree.

It’ll require me working off a ladder with a battery powered pole saw. I greatly dislike cutting trees off a ladder. The 3 points of contact can not be instituted because I need both hands on the saw. It is what it is. Be as careful as possible.

^ Got those limbs down. I didn’t get smacked off the ladder or electrocuted in the power lines. Everything went where I aimed it. Didn’t smash anything. The battery powered saws worked well for this stuff. Wouldn’t cut anything bigger with them though. The pole saw was kind of down on power but I made it work. At least it was light.

Wife swamped for me instead of going on her run. Took us most the afternoon to get the limbs dropped and bucked up into little rounds for firewood or pieced up small for the trash can. Take a few weeks to get it all out via weekly trash pick up…but it’ll end up in the dump.

The landlady gets the rounds for her backyard fire ring. Ended up with an enough to probably last her through summer.

Fuck that tree though. I took pleasure in cutting that sun stealing bitch’s limbs off.

Progressive Perpetual Pathways.....growing the canna plants as annuals....no clones.....breed via partial pollinations as I go....down the generation lines and through outcrosses. Wide open at all times.

Todays harvest....includes a couple of true F1s.....Afghan Haze...a pheno definitely under the influence of the Afghani with it's quick finish X of 63daze....you will also note some Haze influence in structure.





Crown of buds...Original Haze X Skunk #1.....very Hazy...fluffy.....yet I pulled her at day 79.....very well flushed and starting to bitch with a few nanner clusters.





Trained stalk.....heavily trained in veg and in flower....zip tied to a large tomato cage....kept at about 3' from coco surface to the crown top.



Being released from bondage... cut up....into a grocery bag


All the plants I'm showing here caught some rouge pollen....the last bunch of plants I've harvested all had a dozen or so beans....these will be the same....couple seed pods on the OH




This is a nice Porpoise Head= Casey Jones x HM x BB X Cindy Jones (Casey Jones X H3ad's C99BX) harvested at day 71. I really like this cross and this pheno. I've smoked an earlier harvested pheno....very nice sativa head. I have another pheno coming up on flush.....that one is very Casey and just blasting....I'll post her up later.



This is pretty much every week....always different....some crash some raise the bar. I live and select off gut instinct....I randomly murder plants all the time....for no reason at all. That's how I do it....no rules...the only goals....seeing what hasn't been seen....follow the rabbit....never go back.

I'll post all the chaos and show you my path as I go.

My Albums are open....feel free to look.
I miss OB, but I kinda hate your sign bud. Beautiful plants tho.

The anti troll sticker? You mean those nasty street punks that come down from up north every winter to panhandle on Newport and chase the cheap dope?

Generally making the wall and the beach unpleasant day and night? That’s what that sticker was about. Fuck those interloping drug fiend cretins.

No love No hugs

Good job on. The tree work. Always tricky around wires, off a ladder too haha. I was gonna suggest a belt and spurs
But hey u made it work.got er done :tiphat:

Couldn’t climb it. The neighbors whose tree it is are not cool. Shouldn’t have been my job to do…but yeah…for sure I’m glad to have not had problems with it.

Even though the power company representative told me the wires were insulated….the hardest cut was done with me higher up the 8’ ladder with the pole saw overhead just over a power wire. 😂 I was very focused.

* if I had the gear I could have single roped it up one of the higher limbs…climbing just on our side of the fence. I don’t even have a belt harness or rope though. Another thing was that I don’t trust the limbs of this Box Elder not to snap. I believe they have a reputation for breaking when the tree has been allowed to grow its sucker branches like this one has.

Glad it’s done. The neighbors were not happy. They never are though.

^ Start of the day. Supposed to be in the mid 70’s but cloudy. I’m going to head down to the ranch and work on that garden today. Nothing is going on in the Fire world so I’ll take advantage of the time I have.

IMG_4644.jpeg


^ The neighbor’s house with their virtue signs conveying everything they are not. They have no hope…do not choose love…and are far from being kind. Or reasonable. Crackers/bigots

IMG_4647.jpeg


^ Came home from the mountains yesterday afternoon to find that the neighbors have put up yet another meaningless sign. 😂 These people are nuts. You can see they also have been erecting a 1/2 ass privacy barrier. It doesn’t block much but ok. I’ll wall it out with sunflowers and cucumbers all summer.

Even when the reason for the tree cutting and the laws were explained to them…by not just me but by professionals…they refuse to accept it. I actually saved them 100’s of dollars and made the mess my own. If that was my property that tree would’ve been removed within the first year. I swear…I just don’t get it

It’s ok. The right property will come our way. It won’t be in town though.

Down to the ranch and solitude

You know, those people have treated me more decently than most. I don't think you know but some of those "trolls" might be the most decent people god ever graced this fine earth with. The wall used to make me feel at home when I was going through things that most people can't even fathom. Those men and women that made OB what it is where priced out, thrown out, and looked down upon. I can tell you bought that sign at the black, and never spent a good minute in actual ob, maybe you checked out dead night, or bought a burger at winstons. I've never personally seen anyone openly pan handle, I've seen artist, musicians, and good men. The man that made some of the best strains to grace this planet was also one of those "trolls " in ob. Dave Bowman was a good man. You're hitting way above your weight if you think any one of the people in ob aren't worth their weight in not just salt but gold.

I lived in OB all through the 90’s up until 2004. Moved to the mountains that year. Pine Valley. I watched my best friends go down the black hole. My sympathy has long ago waned. Sat through a murder trial of my best friend. Shot to death in a tweaker pad. All because he beat someone until they shit themselves.

If those drug addicts made your life better…you were a mess.

OB is one of my homes. Fuck you

The fact you classify the people on the wall as pan handlers and drug addicts says it all.

I'm going to be honest, I'm sorry about your friend. But because of one circumstance that touched you deeply you can't generalize OB, San Diego has had a problem with meth for awhile and I personally am not a fan of what meth does to people. East county, and other areas like north park seem to be more accepting of casual meth use than OB. I knew people who would never push meth, coke, heroin or anything of the such onto a younger generation. The rave scene and the gay scene (I don't know a better word for it sorry) Seemed to have a much stronger foothold on pushing hard drugs on the youth. I saw people from music programs go out almost daily to teach music to the kids in ob, if you wanted to learn an instrument, they where down, they would give you an instrument of your choice. I saw good people protect the most vulnerable people from the things you describe. I'm not saying names, but anyone actually familiar with ocean beach knows there is an organization there that makes sure people are taken care of. Violence was not tolerated, a family friendly atmosphere was socially enforced. You had to go off of sunset cliffs even to barely go less family friendly. Do some people smoke meth in ob? Yeah man, its San Diego, I would put money on that its less socially acceptable to use hard drugs in ob, then in east county, or any of the other parts of SD. The traveler kids, the punks, the home bums, the drug addicts, the drunks all made a slightly functional family for alot of people in need. If its not your deal, its not your deal. But every single person in ocean beach I've met so far (Asides not locals that come in to sell shit that no one likes at the bars which usually don't last long, or that dude with the white hair small dog thats always pissed for some reason if you know you know) and to classify them as this evil, troll, ect thing is heartless. I've personally seen people struggling with homelessness/drug addiction get into the trades off the street and become better men. If people truly love you, regardless of opinions of others you should defend them to your dying breath. Ocean beach, as I know it from the housed to the unhoused will always be my home. If you've been around ob quite awhile, I was always walking around with an arizona tea, and anyone would tell you, I'm a pretty okay guy.
