Happy post Xmas from Texas, Ya'll. Glad it's behind me. Ahhhh, the productive Xmas holidaze!

Girlfriend tried out her new Ulu (Alaskan knife set). Worked out quite well on herb, chopped Monkey Balls, yummy, fried reallllll good and crisp. Actually, Hazeman Monkey Balls is a backcross of Deep Chunk. Quite lovely weed, just pure glue with a VERY skunky citrus smell. Clear high.

I refinished an old ulu walnut/maple cutting board from Alaskan Cutlery, and refinished the walnut blade handle and put a knife edge via 2 grades of belts, medium and ultra fine. Routed an ogee edge on the top of a scrap piece of walnut which holds the blade via a slit I cut doing the drop kick on my table saw. 3 coats of Waterlox Original Sealer on all to a tough satin finish.

Processed quite a few pots in MicroKote and upcanned the most vigorous which are pure indicas. Will start a journal later to show-tell "Uncle Ben's Conventional Methods of Madness".

LAWS OF THE NATURAL UNIVERSE​

LAWS OF THE NATURAL UNIVERSE Law of Mechanical Repair: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch or you'll have to pee.
Law of the Workshop: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.
Law of Probability: The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.
Law of the Telephone: If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal.
Law of the Alibi: If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.
Variation Law: If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will start to move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).
Law of the Bath: When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.
Law of Close Encounters: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with
Law of the Result: When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.
Law of Biomechanics: The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
Law of the Theatre: At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last.
Law of Coffee: As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.
Murphy's Law of Lockers: If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.
Law of Rugs/Carpets: The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor covering are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet/rug.
Law of Location: No matter where you go, there you are. Law of Logical Argument: Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.
Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly.

"LAWS OF THE NATURAL UNIVERSE Law of Mechanical Repair: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch or you'll have to pee.
Law of the Workshop: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner."

I will testify to the veracity of these facts! I'd add that if it's a special fastener for a high end vehicle (a fastener that's been on backorder for a year) it'll roll RIGHT TO THE FLOOR DRAIN and drop into it slowly, as you watch in horror.

Be 63 in a few months This was the worst Christmas of my life (((recently got a bad diagnosis))) … I’m in New York State it’s become a catastrophe for small scale wholesale grocers such as myself the bud market has shrank& I’ve seen Wholesale prices drop of the cliff ..custom craft buds have become meaningless to wholesale buyers who can get ”commercial style” packs at $1200 or less … outdoor is between 500 and $800 a pound case closed these kind of prices are not good for people such as myself at the moment :booked: i’ve been doing this for 25 years and now I’m literally sick and tired…:redface: View attachment 18938150

Christmas at the Shindig.

50f and blue skies followed by a bright rising moon. We've had Christmas out there for 10years now and I'm usually on snow shoes and shoveling a foot or more out of the pit. I love snow and the white Christmas stuff, but I wouldn't trade today's weather for anything. Getting a chance to hang out with Leah and my boy in the woods is the perfect present.

Cheers you lovely bunch!
