Did you know Alice Brock ( the Alice from the song) just passed away on November 20th, she was 83. Would have been really wild if she had died on Thanksgiving... RIP Alice.

Yes our local station WMVY made that sad news part of the lead up to Arlo’s Massacre which they play every Thanksgiving at noon ET. Arlo had to stop performing it seems like a couple years or more now as well. All of us getting long in the tooth. WMVY and Polly the DJ on the mic Thanksgiving day did a nice job including Alice in all the programming.
Honestly it has been crazy for me trying to finish trimming my outdoor crop. I got a bit out over my skis back in May popping over 100 seeds, including 15 Tom Hill Haze and a bunch of various SE Asian strains. By September the SE Asians were barely flowering and I realized they were doing their thing based upon hours of darkness not biological maturity. It all sunk in when I read a Tom Hill post somewhere about how he uses canopies to shade parts of his grow to get them to flower in sync with the actual season. I’d never thought about the genetics of their home environment really driving them to the finish line.
Where I’m at darkness drops to around 13 hours in late September so any real stacking of flower will start then not based upon how far along they are from seed. Lesson well learned. I was despondent and humiliated to realize my mistake. With frost fast approaching I figured they were never gonna reach their full potential. Last fall I had some Ace Thai A5 outside I brought indoors and under a CMH to finish but it died on me just before I had to leave for Toronto for a week. They turned out ok but nothing near potential.
Anyway, when the weather here got unusually sunny and dry in October and even into November I got really lucky. They all started to bulk up and I was able to finish them fairly respectfully. I’ve got just a handful of RSCO Burmese left to trim and bag up. Those beans were very vigorous from day one and the purple phenos turned almost black late in flower.
More Grove bags will hopefully arrive today and I’ll have a chance to relax. This little Arlo episode was just what I needed to appreciate the present tense in a healthy way.
Thanks again Jenn
For some reason this made me think of Bob Seger on 8 track tape
“she got the fire down below”
Gorgeous pictures as always @Loriented
penicillin should help
This picture is exactly what I needed
Can relate to you … i’m glad the seasons over but I’m still working at it .. I feel your pain with the Tom Hill and the southeast Asians. I’ve been there before indoors and outdoors.
18 minutes worth
Sorry about the meds. That stuff is terrible with the side effects.

Never heard of a levado, the Mrs looked it up for me. They sound tasty, I'd give them a try.Y’all got me going with “glue” and “greedy relatives” so I will just say
“That is a very beautiful spread; not too much, not too little, just right”
And the kids were so well behaved!!
I may just stay put next year, listen to Alice’s Restaurant and enjoy a simple spatchcocked Turkey with Emeril’s cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and maybe some turnip or Brussels sprouts. Of course being here on Cape Cod I’ll have to serve up some cranberry sauce as well.
Finding some levados for the day after sandwiches is also something I missed this year.
Sliced turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and Mayo on a toasted levado is almost better than the Thanksgiving day meal.
Just like my opinion man….
As always, great work in capturing natures beauty.
The side effects of Lyme disease have been crippling me because I had no classic symptoms. I like to think the one tick that I couldn’t get completely out made somebody give me something that might help. I’ve been struggling health wise for a while but honestly, taking the doxycycline has really helped. I have had joint pain and terrible difficulty just walking briskly without pain for several months or more. Maybe it’s psychosomatic but a week in from taking that doxycycline I have better mobility and much less pain. I can actually go for a brisk walk with the border collie and enjoy it. I have been bitten by deer ticks several times since May of this year. I am not really good at noticing how long they were dug in. I’ve never been good at noticing cuts/bruises and how long this or that injury has been smoldering or lingering. I’m 67 now so I’m pretty sure it’s sorta time to pay the piper. No complaints here, I’ve lived fast and hard but not for a while lately. I’m trying to pace myself finally I guess and it may be too late lol
I hope it’s for real cause I enjoy being active
It’s an ethnic Portuguese version of an English muffin I think. Nothing new under the sun!!
I hope it works for you. It did for me but it hit me hard as I was nauseous for a solid month to the point of not being able to eat much, sleep well also combined with dizziness.
I hope you make a rapido recovery without the side effects!
First rule of the field is, when back to the fort, check for damage.
That's what my Mrs. read to me about the levado. She also said the levado is somewhat bigger than the English Muffin. I like a toasted muffin with honey, my favorite.
Thanks man I’m sorry to hear you had to suffer such a “cure”
I’m pretty darn lucky and guessing your need for such measures was a bit more serious
I am glad it worked for you in spite of the side effects. I don’t want to find out if I’ve got your level of stamina to be honest.
I don’t know if I have a fort these days to return to (if fort is meant to convey a safe place) but I get by ok.
I’m working on that
