The Original O'l Farts Club.

[OleReynard]

Well, it's official I've turned 69 today. I wasn't sure if I'd make it or not. Left knee is really unhappy this morning. I must have pushed it to hard yesterday walking back and forth in the driveway. Kept trying to fold during my shower.



I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
I was an iron man, I had a master plan
But I was alone
I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh, what a night it's been for the state I'm in
I'm still alone
And all the wonders made for the earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Somehow I always end up alone (always end up alone)
Always end up alone
So I'll play, I'll wait
'Cause you know that love takes time
We came so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't wanna be alone
Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
Since you're busy every minute, I just stay at home
I make believe you care, I feel you everywhere
But I'm still alone
I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
'Cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate?
Am I the subject of the pain?
Am I the stranger in the rain?
I am alone
And is there glory there to behold?
Maybe it's my imagination
Another story there to be told
So I'll play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We made it so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't wanna be alone
And all the wonders made for the earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told
So I'll play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We made it so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't wanna be alone
Gone but not out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
Face the heat of the night
The one that you love got a heart that's made of stone
Shine and search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean
And clean out of site
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home

HappyBirthday

Happy Birthday

BrassNwood is celebrating his 69th Birthday today. Lets all join in and wish him a Happy Birthday.

Thanks All.

Wife was talking about the North Woods Inn for dinner. Don't think we've been there in 40 years.

This was originally in the town I grew up in and was moved to its present location (San Gabriel) in the mid 1960s when the 210 freeway went in its original location. As they tore it down it exposed Smokey Joes BBQ Pit underneath the facade.

Morning

Heat index up to 109f..... Plants are loving it. Me not so much.

At least when I get this A/C job done. I get to cool off lol.

Nice popcorn!

Another hot one in Texas yesterday, 105F. Greenhouse temps where my newly germed/potted up faves are is hitting around 110F. My GT X Panama mix and the old Positronic crosses I did 26 years ago DO NOT like it. The babies are stunted, barely showing any growth day to day. I'm about ready to install the LED bars light and bring them in. temps of like 88/68, highs/lows, are about right for good vigor. High of 99F is predicted today, and the NWS has nailed it every day. Dry as a bone too with lots of burn bans.

May your waitress be the Perfect Woman, if only temporarily.

 

[Old Uncle Ben]

Had a high in the greenhouse of 118F week ago. Lots of brown leaves on the avocado trees. This sucks but you can only go with the flow.

Just took this shot. Still stoked that ALL 26 year old crosses of Positronic Haze X Pos. Jack Herer germinated, and quick. Sowed these Aug. 14. Clothespin is only to provide support to a Golden Tiger.

 

[flower~power]

Amazing you got 26 year old seeds to germinate ..talk about bringing back a blast from the past!

 

[Goldhedge]

Good morning people!

Woke up on the right side of the grass today!

Not at all. Am at an elevation of 1,800' which helps. Lived on the Gulf Coast. Was a humid oven almost all year long.

You're almost half a mile up. I'm in Boston sea level. I would try growing some highland Mexican varieties. Maybe even something from Peru if there's such a thing.
