Deep Stoner Thoughts

Why do my new leather work boots smell like a bio-weapon, after just 4 days ?

Change my socks every day, only wear them about 6 hours a day, dry them in the sun if they're damp.

But they still smell like something died in them.

What chemicals do our feet emit that make them so stinky ?


That stink is usually bacterial.

The chemical? Sweat, it feeds the bacteria.
Rinse the boots, and wash the feet with rubbing alcohol, or Peroxide.


Aloha,
Weeze

very true.

I'd really like to know the technical reasons why my new work boots smell like a Bronx fishing dock.

But in the meantime, I can get by fine buying a few more pairs and drying the spares in the sun religiously. And not worrying about the reasons why.

I think it's related to what Dave Mason was talking about in his song, "Give me a Reason Why."

Quid Pro Quo ... could it be the glue used in construction of your boots is fish based?


And that under pressure from (not only your Saintnesses mass) but also your Saintnesses copious perspiration ... they have begun to decompose?


Once more underscoring that the notion we call Nature doesn't discriminate ...

I think my feet are normal. Though 2 hours a day my work is very physical, as I rush to get things watered & transplanted before the full sun hits.

I have a chance to notice since I often go to the gym after working at home. If I take off my shoes and suddenly the locker room has a new 'presence' - I think Nike has figured this out.

There's got to be materials choices, ventilation of fabric differences, etc. between the $20 Walmart work shoe, and the $200 Nike high cut b-ball or running shoe that is about the same height.

Also if I had more shoes it would spread the smell out more.

I'm relying on the ICMag brain trust. I know one guy with analytical chemical equipment, but he normally charges about $400 an hour for lab time.

I'm thinking there is no way a pro basketball player would put up with this smell. I wonder how often they change their shoes. They can probably afford new shoes for every work-out, but also might be a little like surfers where they get attached to the shoe and want to wear it for several work-outs.

Yeah... That's it.... ;^>)

No pain meds in 2 days, and overall, life's excellent. I'm now an administrator instead of a laborer. A guy could get to feeling guilty about that..... maybe in a day or two.

Is that a Frank Zappa reference ?

If his daughter Moonbeam would only accept my friend request on Facebook, I would have an investigative lead. :woohoo:




Ugh! the thought of You and Moon Unit together is causing me to become discombobulated ...


(Hey, she might be a Granny by now.)

Good Morning!

Good Morning!

I am sitting on my deck and it is a Glorious Morning!


Blades of dewy grass reflect the still-rising Sun while leaves on the trees in the Forest outside my garden are barely moving. Without the background of bird shriek and chatter the World would be Still.


I am relishing a just finished coffee and have been for a walk to check the garden bed I ‘m refurbishing. The soil is not yet at field capacity so I will have to water again. Interaction between it and the Lucerne mulch has begun though and in the earlier cold I put my hands under it to warm them.


In the golden morning Sunlight all seems Perfect! For me, here, now, there is a sense of Awe and a hint of Understanding ...

Here's a little known factoid;
When Frank's son, Ommit was in school, the other kids dubbed him Ommit the vomit.
He tired of that and legally changed his name to Rick.
So, they then called him Rick the prick.

We've all seen some pretty large plants and we all know photo period plants will never flower under 18/6. Do Cannabis plants have a maximum size? Let's just say hypothetically we had a corner of the Airbus factory to turn into a growroom. And let's say there were no constraints on light, nutrient supply, height or root growth or anything else.
If we vegged the plant for say 50+ years would we end up with an Amazon rainforest size tree? A 100ft Cannabis plant would be quite impressive. I like the idea of a tree house in a plant like this. :)
