Good to see the update - nice pics. Don't we all wish we knew how to separate out the males early on. You'd be a billionaire if you can develop a test that shows sex while just sprouted. What an amazing feat that would be. Anyway, speaking about early sex identification - paging @Chimera. Don't know if you've popped into this thread, but I'm wondering if anybody is working on a test like that. You'd, of anybody, would have heard. Enquiring minds want to know.
Anyway, I've seen what them snapping turtles can do when i was a youngin. My pappy caught one on one of his fishing trips for trout to the one of the local creeks. Thing was on the small size but he showed me how powerful those jaws were. He put a large tree branch in front of the things mouth and that sucker just snapped it in half like it was nothing. Can't remember if that one ended up in our soup pot or not - pappy had a way with cooking what-ever he caught or hunted to keep the cost of food down for us. I also had a rather large turtle one destroy, and I mean destroy, a beautiful stringer of fish that I had caught. Was at a bass pond that we shouldn't have been on (private and stocked and probably the best fishing I've ever had on fresh-water) and we had no authorization to be on that pond - sneaked in under the fence. I had a stringer, and I mean a fat ass stringer of bass. Probably had 8 fish over 7lbs and another 7 over 5lbs. We were killing them - and we caught all of them from the bank as we couldn't sneak the canoe onto the pond. Anyway, we tied a stringer to one of the logs near the pond and came back to put more bass on the stringer and the turtle had eaten just about every fish we had on the stringer. Sum-bitch that pissed me off.
Just like stress on vines can be very good for wine, I think the same with pot - just not too much. You can really beat up a vine (look at some old growth vines and tell me they haven't had the shit kicked out of them by mother nature) and have some of the best, and I mean very best, wines in the world. Yeah, the grapes need their sun and you gotta watch late harvest rains, but everything else - yeah.
@poprock - problem with getting holes dug early down here is that something will end up growing in it on ya rather quickly. Completely agree with you on terroir - just like a fine wine, the nuances can be extraordinary if done right with an outside grow.
And to all - a happy wife means a happy life. Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances, piss off the old lady. She knows way too much about everything we do. And honestly, after 25+years with the same woman, do we really, really want to "do it all over again". Hell no for me. I'll put up with her issues just like she puts up with my issues. She's an unbelievable mommy to the kids and honestly that's what I value the most of everything.
And for our final superbowl game - Ima going to Vegas. Will be my 20th superbowl at Vegas. There is nothing like it. Hanging out at the sportsbook in Caesars palace is crazy. Every play, no matter who makes it, gets cheered for by half of the crowd. The other real cool ass part is making all the crazy bets - everything from how long the national anthem will be to what the next play is going to be - not just the line on the game itself. There's like 500 props bets that i'll make. Every one of them for $1.00. At the end of the day I'm normally win like 200 of the bets and lose 300 of them, but damn, its fun. I'll spend $100 for the entertainment. Back in 2009 when Pittsburgh beat Arizona 27-23, I had guessed the exact score of the game - that paid off $850 for a $1 bet. I made money that year (though that's been the only year I made money on the props bets). I had Denver winning straight up last year too, so I made money on the game but got clobbered on the props bets last year so it was more of a breakeven than anything else.
Food's expensive but drinks will be for free since i'll be sitting at a video poker machine right outside of the sportsbook.
