Sittin in my shed....

my mom loved Floyd. she wanted to try smoking pot, but never did (to my knowledge). dad wanted to right up until his death, but was afraid that it would make him want to smoke cigarettes again. (took him 30 years to stop that habit) dad was not a fan of Floyd however. had an album going once when he came in and a buddy asked him "Chuck, what do you think of this song?" dad listened a minute & said "sounds like fucking sheep to me.."

Okay, okay, there is almost always going to a few exceptions but I think your Mom at least being open enough to try pot is what allowed her to enjoy Pink Floyd. Your dad was of course not a fan of Floyd, so there's your answer there it didn't matter that he was willing to try pot on a certain level.

On the Floyd issue when introducing them (Pink Floyd) to someone you got to be really careful what song you choose to introduce them to. I would strongly advise against some of their more eclectic titles such as "Pink Floyd - Careful with That Axe, Eugene" or "Roger Waters - Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" or even "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast". I'd go with "Dark Side of the Moon" probably "Money" as most people can relate. I'd definitely avoid the whole Animals Album for the first time. Some of Floyd's work you just have to love them as a band before you can enjoy it.

Late n cold in the shed, but got the wr x cheese chuffin away in my spliff, so it's all good.
Missus B is ill, baby n master B are ill, all got chest infection... I am protected my my magic green herbs so not affecting me ... Still , means more work for ol' Mr B , hope those antibiotics kick in soonish
Little bit of snow today, chickens weren't quite sure about coming out , but the dog loves it

I hope you and the family get well soon. Not meaning to scare you either but be real careful they say that in many parts of the world even the US, the "Flu" (influenza) is at epidemic proportions. Even the vaccines here in the US aren't helping. They base what strain or strains to protect against each year based on predictions of which strains are most likely to spread. This year's Flu shot was set to protect against 4 versions out of a pool of 7 potential strains. Unfortunately their model used to make the prediction, failed and the prominent strain is one of the other 3 or so strain's the shot does not protect against. If things start looking really bad with any of you, you should consider medical help. Once it gets bad with a person the window of survivability is rather limited. It's kind of funny (ironic) that we as a society have such a casual attitude towards "The Flu". Influenza kills hundreds of thousands each year world wide and in one year, back in 1918 it became a pandemic that killed of 3% to 5% of the world's population. Ebola in all it's existence has not killed anywhere near as many and yet we're so much more afraid of it then "the Flu".

Hopefully none of that will pertain as all of you just have a mild cold or something far less serious. As I said just be careful.

Just been reminiscing with the missus about when I started smoking.... Used to get fresh black hash at £35 for 1/2 oz, and food bags half full of weed (complete with seeds, mind you) from the hippy sites - £20-30 for a largeish unspecified amount ..... Those were the days.
Mind you, this super lemon is damn nice , although I still shudder to pay £10 per g.

Yeah back when I started bags of weed were measured less by weight and more by visual cues (fingers). Ozs were generally 4 fingers high and two fingers thick. This was routine and at least that's how everyone here in the Mid Atlantic region was doing it. The average mid grade Mexican went for $15 an ounce, Jamaican was usually a bit more at $20 to $25 per ounce, All the kick ass Columbians, and the legendary Central American strains (Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, etc.) were $35 an ounce. Plus it seemed like everyone had it and you could score by randomly asking any teen or young adult if they had anything. I remember once being offered a chance to sell for a guy who had direct Columbian connections and turned down the offer because I felt there was too much competition out there already. Never in my wildest dreams ever imagine an ounce going for upwards of $400 per ounce in some areas one day.

They say now that our beloved plant is more potent. I find that very hard to believe though. I'm more inclined to believe that we've just become accustom to demanding cleaner bags and so what we get today is just more concentrated. Back in the day, most of us didn't know much about the plant and so we just smoked bud, leaves and seed altogether. Sure we'd do our best to separate them out but if one or two got in a joint or bowl it was no big deal. Now it is mostly prime bud with the ripest trichomes and so we need much less to get the same result which that's because there is virtually no leaf or seeds to dilute it. I recently trimmed some stuff and marveled at how much a couple of bb sized balls of scissor hash got me as high as a much larger volume of bud rolled in a joint would.

was deer hunting one time a long time ago. walking down a dirt road i noticed an aspirin bottle on the ground. inside was a nice chunk of lebanese blonde hash. fuk yeah, rolled a pipe on an arrow with the foil from a cig pack and got lost as fuk! that was fun! but yeah, i agree, i too think the weed was just as potent, just not as well cared for.

yeah, some of the bricked Mexican & Columbian I had years ago made me want to travel so I could try it before it was abused...

[mr.brunch]

People have told me , you never stop worrying about them, even when they're grown up... Starting to realise it now!
Quick super lemon spliff, then back to check on her

been there done that ..my son is 26 now...I wouldn't have another kid if ya paid me...I am free....yeehaw

 

[mr.brunch]

don't think mrs b would have another anyway... Got a boy about to be 13(!), and a girl of 15 months- so I got a way to go till they're all trained up n moved out.
Mind you , I tell my baby girl " you ain't movin out till you're 90" .... Possibly a touch too protective!
In all seriousness, I will be proud as fuck when they are all set up n ready to fly the nest... Got to mean you did your job right

I hear guys say that all the time, me, I'd go back & start over again in a heartbeat if it was possible. happiest times of my life was getting up & getting a bottle/clean diaper. lay them little varmints on my chest while lying in my recliner & let them try to pull my ears /nose off. oh man...nothing on this earth as precious as your own baby looking you in the eye!

 

[mr.brunch]

^^ never a truer word spoken.

Well, there is one thing more precious: a grandbaby!

 

[mr.brunch]

Looking forward to that one !

hell yes! spoil that little critter, get it all wound up, & hand it back to mommy and daddy, sayin' "I hear the fish are biting! i'll see you young'uns next week...maybe."

 

[mr.brunch]

Sounds like a good plan.... Surely that's a grandparents job : fill em with sweet things and give them whatever they want- then send em home to the parents

 

[mr.brunch]

It's been getting dusty in this ere shed.... Been absent from it the last few days due to all the family being ill. Still, it's a nice place to sit for this spliff, and contemplate life which has been knackering lately. croppin day is coming and I can't wait for a bit of therapeutic trimming followed by some smokin up the place, sick of paying for it now and am crying out for the outdoor season!
Got to stretch this next bit for as long as I can, but when I got it I think , fuck it, it's free!!

I try to plan my 'runs' so that I NEVER run out! lol

Did have to get a few gallon jars to store it in. That's a really good feeling when you Have to move up to gallon jars for storage.

Here in the land of plenty......

Six in Veg., and six in bloom. Sixteen Square Feet to bloom in and 8-10sf to veg in. Currently liking this Sour Diesel strain I've got.

 

[mr.brunch]

That is my holy grail!!
Ain't allowed to grow shit in the great united of kingdom so I have to grow with a willing mate 2 or 3 at a time these days, never enough I'm afraid. Once it's nice n legal ( I hope) I will be a bit more free, and I cant wait
