Good Morning All (OF's):

Wishing each and every one of you, a pleasant morning, wonderful day, and outstanding evening.
I am currently pretty tied up with projects and work, so wanted to start with a daily check in hello.
Today is Sunday. An ordained day of R&R. So, let the enjoyment begin. Glad for the break. TGFW!

See you all tomorrow (again)!

Worth listening to. For me. Again and again. Chris Wood, sadly RIP, sax is haunting. Another lost far ahead of his time. Enjoy with your cuppas, and happy Sunday to you again ..

I do believe he is...his presence would overturn the apple cart...Dutch would get manhandled and Ivan would be a bit aggressive...I protect Dutch like he is an infant, he's lost most of his hearing, can't see well, and needs a bath a few times a week, he's got that old dog stink but that doesn't stop me from loving on his all the time...he's lost all is undercoat and the top coat isn't looking healthy...as long as I see the spark go I will keep doing what I'm doing...I owe him my life...

Typical total hardcase. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It has been my observation that the toughest guys you ever meet are utterly soft-hearted when it comes to their beloved animobiles.

There was a guy named Starkey. Hardest, scariest mutha I ever knew. He turned to mush around a stray kitten.

Good sunday farts, time to put the little guys to work and start the winter season. The amount of thrips, whiteflies and aphids outdoors this year was ridicilous and just to prevent any future problems it's good to have ladybugs and predators in the veg tent.


Deadhead OG mother ~1 year old. Took enough clones and have a new mother growing so this will go to the big tent in a week or so after resting from transplant that will happen tomorrow.

Same thing with the Dark Ghost Train mother. Transplant, a bit of rest and into the big tent.


So basically all todays work is done and I can roll a huge one. have a great day all!

I did have a cat once that liked to come in the shower and get wet. He could turn on the bathroom sink too. So maybe some cats would like a bath

Fuzzy Britches was my big Maine Coon cat. His tail was 8" across. He weighed 18 pounds.

He would hear me in the shower, and come running in to join me. I always had to towel him off after our shower. He would purr so loudly while I toweled him dry, Witchie-poo could hear him in the next room

One for the ladies,gentlemen and everyone.

Be advised someone I know has a neighbor and he read somewhere bears use locations like that to catch prey not paying attention.
The guy I know would not lie to me ,not sure of the neighbor

I know that neighbor. He lies every other day and he said the pictures above were the same picture but one was flipped upside down. I don’t know if it was a ‘lie day’or a ‘troof day’…

Good morning venerable old farts and more kindly and gentler fartesses!

A partly cloudy day here starting at 47F and predicted to reach 67F. I've started wearing my blanky lined jeans.

I donated the 2003 Suburban rear seat from storage to a local salvage yard. I offered it to them free and they accepted, but when I dropped it off Saturday they were closed, so I left it by their door. That highlights that an alternate to asking if people want my treasures, is to just leave it on their doorsteps and run. Like zucchini toward the end of the grow season.

After sorting out the Jeep battery drain issues, it appears that it is a parasitic battery drain of 1.6 amps, but I didn't figure out where yet. To do so in a reasonable fashion, it looks like I need to disconnect a cable under the hood for the measurement, because the battery is under the passenger seat and the fuses are under the hood. That or get someone to stay inside the vehicle and call out to me as I pull the fuses.

I just saw a pic of Subbie's toke rig -- cannot find it again becuz we all gabble so much it is prolly fifty pages back and I cannot find it again. Dammit.

I want to try to Haitian-rig a similar one (but without using the Volcano which I gifted to a needy person because it used way too much weed at a time).

@SubGirl -- could you post that elusive picture again for your ancient Unca?

 

[Mars_Barz]

Good morning Ol' Farts Club!!

Have some laughter, or reminisce in the pain haha

 

[Yarddog]

Thanks, I'll check that out as well. If the codes are universal, I can use it on both our Jeep and Ford.

OBD2 codes are universal for the most part.

Design engineers used to think about how their designs would affect ease of repair. Now it almost seems like they laugh menacingly as they make systems devilishly difficult to repair.

While we wait for Subbie to arise and respond this morning, here is a little insight on building your own custom rig.

Subbie was the inspiration behind her rig adapting a Sneaky Pete submarine bubbler to a Volcano bag and the assembly was therefore named a Submarine Girl rig. I use the same thing with my Volcano.

You can pick up a submarine bubbler from Sneaky Pete online, but the unique Submarine Girl parts were custom made and include a mouthpiece and a bag adaptor. See attached:

You will see from her picture that you can easily have those unique custom parts made at your local glass shop, but the Submarine bubbler comes with a hose assembly for a mouthpiece, so that leaves the bag adaptor, which as you note, you don't need.

To get started, that leaves your Haitian-rig adaptor to design and have built and you can continue to use it hooka style with the hose or have them build a Submarine Girl style mouthpiece.

Here is a print of the Submarine Girl adaptors if you want to build your own mouthpiece. Note the flattening of the mouthpiece is intended to elongate the vapor stream so as to spread it over more of your tongue's taste buds.

As a retired design engineer, you don't want to hear my rants about how stupid some of the designs on the 2013 Jeep GCL are!!

It is almost like they were designed by art students. I loved our 1995 GC Larado Deer Slayer, as well the 1995 GC Limited that I replaced it with after it killed the deer, but the 2013 misses the point.

For starters, they decided for some reason to reverse the position of the temperature and fuel level gauges, so that upon starting out in the morning you glance down at the fuel gauge and crap your pants when you notice it on empty. Especially with all the fuel tanks being drilled by fuel thieves these days.

You can't just reach over and flip a switch or twist a knob while driving to operate the HVAC system because it is so complex that you need to pull over to operate it safely.

The older straight sided Cherokees were easy to parallel park because you could tell where your wheels were, but the newer bloated designs make it hard to figure out their relationship to the curb.

It still has the strong engine and drive train but now there is a knob to select from a plethora of road or offroad conditions, instead of a high/low transfer case lever.

It also uses a smart fob instead of a key which I won't get started on, but suffice to say I would rather have one of our old Jeeps back in pristine shape than this state-of-the-art jewel.

You gave your volcano away? Here is the picture you were talking about. I featured your book in the pic. You can also use it with a hand held vape

I had one. He was a bad mofo. I would t give him some milk one night so I snatched the glass of milk off the bedside table out of spite. Bastard. Wife got mad at him one day and he slapped a picture off the wall. He had quite the attitude.
Orange cats are the fastest. I’ll always have an orange cat. Their personality is something else.

Hey folks. How do I add a picture to my profile?

In hindsight we all shoulda bought the old 90’s and held on to it as a spare.

Does the gout have an effect around your big toe or does it go beyond that area.
I've only had it twice, so far. They treated it with the chemical(colchicine).
They use colchicine to create polyploid plants, cannabis.

How is your gout treated?

SpongeBob SquarePants is the protagonist of the eponymous American animated television series.

I looked up SpongeBob and this is what was said

Colchicine is a poison made from the bean tree.
Was used for making female plants originally but could not be consumed that generation
Also used for gout.
Gout is a form of arthritis brought on by a concentration of urinimic crystals.
Processed meats a big contributor so is booze

Most western medicine IS poison.
