Graham: good luck with your son. Been to that dance myself...and I regret kicking him down the road. Hopefully it will not come to that with your son.

Radiohead nice and loud at lunch time today.

Wife and daughter out shopping...leaving me to kick back with some Mandala Satori.

Man with his son came to the door this morning to urge us to vote for a 'good conservative' republican candidate for local office. I told them that 'we will vote for a communist before we vote for a republican...and we despise communism'.

his head is firmly up his ass,not expecting it to slide back out anytime soon.i know the job market is screwed right now but i have been on him for the last 3 years to get a job but its excuse after excuse and all his friends have found jobs pretty easy.just has no drive.told me during spring break he wasn't looking cause he doesn't want one.that didn't go over too well, needless to say.i don't mind helping him,he's my son, but he won't do anything for himself at all.i just wanted him working to learn to earn money and manage it and just basically grow into the man he should be.i could teach him how to sell drugs,steal cars,strong arm rob people and just about any other type of crime there is(i've done many of those things as a teen) but i have tried to raise a good upstanding citizen and would rather die than teach him that side of life,its an issuse of morals and pride,not money.he said a while back he wanted to be a cop and despite my way of getting by i applauded him for it and tried to encourage him doing just that until he finally let it slip that he just wanted to be one so he could taze people and be able to do whatever he wanted to do without getting in trouble.that would be the last thing the world needs,an asshole cop with shitty intentions.just don't know where i went wrong on this one,but it's going to end soon

 

[komrade komura]

Yikes Graham...sounds like a refurbishment project for sure. Good luck. How do you help someone find their passion in life?

That's fucking hard mate...

Upstanding citizen? Whoa...let's not get carried away.

Sounds like he needs a good character building experience...hopefully one that doesn't require being a thug of the government (cop, soldier, prison guard) or just a plain thug.

Not an easy task for sure.

 

[Graham Purwatt]

i'm trying to push him into the navy so he can get some disipline and hopefully get his head on straight,as well as gi bill.his friends are all run of the mill wannabe thugs and he follows suit.believe me,i have always tried to teach my kids that they should be responible for thier own actions and to look as far down the road as possible, and the old clichethat you can be whatevere they choose in life.he just thinks it will just happen one day,already a year behind in school and doing nothing to catch up and the navy won't touch him without a 2.0 gpa,he is stuck on a 1.8and doing nothing about it.on the brightside,he has no legal charges...yet.but he does steal my nugs every chance he gets

GP - Best of luck with your son, that's a challenge and it's gonna take some time to figure it out. Always a tough question whether to ease them gently out of the nest or boot them over the side and see if they can fly . . . .

 

[komrade komura]

The navy...hmmmm, on the plus side...plenty of discipline. On the negative side, they are people who kill others from boats....and thus a lot of bad karma, not to mention all that 'thou shalt not kill' stuff.

But it is better than being a cop...but not by much.

Our lives are 99% the collection of decisions we make. Thomas Jefferson said he was lucky and the more effort he put out, the luckier he got.

Deputies bust marijuana grow house in east Orange
Neighbors watch as drug agents box up, haul away plants

1:05 p.m. EDT, April 24 2011
Neighbors said they never saw the renters who leased the house on Havasu Drive in east Orange County.

But sometimes they smelled evidence that somebody lived there.

"This neighborhood always smells like someone's getting high," Nidra James, 26, said she told a friend.

James, who lives across the street with her 4-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter, was onto something, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

Early Sunday, as neighbors watched, deputies busted a marijuana-grow operation, confiscating plants they say would have produced a crop with a street value of $500,000.

A neighbor told a deputy on patrol Saturday night that there might have been squatters at the house, so the deputy knocked on the door. The presumed tenants opened the door, and the deputy smelled marijuana, said Orange sheriff's Sgt. David Stephens.

She came back several hours later with a warrant, and deputies found what they described as an elaborate grow house and about 100 plants ranging from small to 5 feet tall in the bedrooms. It would take several months for plants to grow that tall, Stephens said.

Someone had bypassed the electric meters and set up two large air-conditioning units in the garage to provide an ideal climate for the marijuana to thrive, deputies said.

A man and a woman are in custody and are expected to be charged with cultivating marijuana. Their names were not released because they had not been arrested. Deputies are investigating whether the two are tied to other grow houses.

Property records show an Orlando couple bought the house last September for $69,000. They don't live there.

Just picked up a couple of these units about a month ago and I sure do like them! I don't always have time to continuously burp jars and this has simplified the process for me. They aren't cheap, but they're worth it IMHO.

Happy Easter Everyone! Get away!

 

[komrade komura]

Evlme2:damn shame to read the criminal justice monster is being fed with more people who have not done anything immoral. But WTF, carbon filters are cheap and work pretty good.

And knocking on the door, then coming back later with a warrant? Something ain't kosher in the deli folks.

No carbon filter and no panic disposal after a knock from a cop...regardless of whatever they (cops) bullshit about at the time. Something tells me that these are just plant sitters and don't know shit about what they are doing. Either that or they represent dumbfuckery at an incredible level.

Also it looks like a soil grow from the pictures....and the additional air conditioning unit described. WTF happened here...shoudn't hire unskilled labour to plant sit?

Regardless, they ain't done nothing wrong in my book and I mourn their loss of freedom. Hope they get a light sentence and shut the fuck up.

Hey DP: ain't those great?!!! I got a couple a few months ago and my jars are tasting a lot better. Between the hydrometers and the KISS fertilization method, my smoke is greater in taste, quality and quantity. Just like in school....hang with the smart kids and we become them ourselves.

hey it's ghostwolf! haven't seen you around these parts in a while! hope it's going good for you bro

Yeah there's no shortage of big pharma addicted pill heads desperate for any kind of cash around these days. And they claim MJ makes you a dumbass . . . . . .

I love these things, just not happy with results at the 55-60% range - everything I've dried in this range is crispy and beyond what I consider properly cured so I'm going to aim for 60-65% next and see if that's better. I'm lucky that I have a bunch of smaller plants that I pollinated with different crosses for seed stock so I have the opportunity to experiment in the short term and see what works best.

Wow Navy's pullin that gpa shit? What about USMC? Sounds like he really needs to pay a visit in Parris Island, and have a DI all over his ass.

Not if he values his life.

There are things in life far more sobering than suicide.

...and DEFINITELY far more engaging than fighting their political war.

I wouldn't fight for these lying bastards if my life depended on it.

They killed JFK, RFK, MLKjr, John Lennon...who next...YOU?!

Down with the NWO, World Bank, IMF, The Fed, and the CIA.

Central banking is for fools and scoundrels. We (American's) are obviously ok with being both.

May their souls torment in infinity...

Yeah right..take an undisciplined individual, and give em a gun and a slew of foreigners to shoot at, that will surely make us look good!

I will not be a patsy in your political conquests.

Just watched 5 year old grand daughter beat up her 3 year old brother to take away his candy.

Where did she learn american foreign policy?

But then the Satori I been smoking makes me rather reflective and so I just watched and noted that if this is the behavior of our children, america is doomed.

Looks like their education on libertarian socialism needs to start today.

 

[komrade komura]

I agree Ioni...we are the cannon fodder for those who are living large.

 

[Graham Purwatt]

he says he wants to be in the military,i was initially against it.my intentions are not for him to fight in any wars,but he desperately needs some direction in life and i have exhausted myself trying to get him motivated,he just keeps bullshitting around and everyday i watch him just keep on bullshitting himself and us too and the blatant disrespect and lack of love for us or his siblings.he won't apply himself to anything,just acts as though it will all just happen one day for him.at least the navy will help pay for college and get him into something that will be better than ending up with a robbery charge or worse.don't get me wrong i love my son with all of my heart and its breaking it watching him waste himself like this. he just won't grow up and nothing i say or do has any effect. i don't know what to do for him and that is the best i can come up with. i have raised this boy since i was 17 and i guess it makes me feel like a failure to see his lack of drive knowing i have always done the best i could for him and tried so hard to be a good father and example
