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".

Want a care package of giant chapstick? I still have a bunch from a bet I lost. I had to shave my but and sit in a bowl of gin. The pain ...oh, don't pass gas while in a bowl of gin.

Shots!?!

After that I ceased and desisted

followed that up with a small snack

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 i’ve been doing this for 25 years and now I’m literally sick and tired… 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!
