One is really heavy and the other one is a little lighter.

Did you buy a home there or planning on building one? It's beautiful.

 

[dogzter]

Have a full 10 x 5 of this at 10 weeks and its looking really nice.
Very dark plants if the buds weren't so coated they would probably be black.

amazing for sure , we live on the edge of the Olympic national park where 95% of the land is designated wilderness and no vehicles allowed

the fecking parks department uses mules to pack in supplies while the rangers do their thing keeping the trails clear

The down side being on Eliquis. I got a call from the pharmacy that was supposedly putting together such a deal on Eliquis, but was told that our gross income is too high to qualify for the program.

Oh, man. That really sucks. Eliquis is damned expensive.

I thought I was going to do the Jack Benny routine where the robber says, "Your money or your life!"

Jack Benny stands there... the robber says, "Well?!"

Jack Benny: "I'm thinking, I'm thinking!"

My current income is as low as whale shit, so they cut deals for me.

I spent some quality time yesterday running the order of magnitude numbers for a commercial sized closed loop LPG extraction system, as well as providing the details to the brother aspiring to build one.

A good exercise, that reminded me why I should avoid math stoned and strongly demonstrated that my ability to design extraction systems has declined in the decade since I've engineered such a system.

Mostly I forget where I'm at in a math formula while stoned and have to start over. In addition, I've forgotten a lot of the little conversions and constants used in engineering a system in English using Metric requirements and parts, so had to calculate them or look them up.

Use or lose it is true and becomes more important as we age and are losing brain cells faster than we are replacing them...................... That led me to Google for more information and found this:

Brain cell loss begins to be noticeable around age 44, with the most rapid rate of degeneration at age 67. By the time we reach age 90, the speed of brain aging levels off1.

We lose about one per cent of our brain cells per year through adulthood, resulting in a loss of 35 per cent to 55 per cent of peak brain cell number in the elderly2.

The overall volume of the brain begins to shrink in our 30s or 40s, with the rate of shrinkage increasing around age 603. Brain atrophy, the loss of brain cells and nerve fibers, increases in everyone over 50 years old4.

Hypothalamic cells are most affected in aging, and increased immune activity and decreased neuronal function are observed in aged mice5.

Holy SHIT -- This tells me I am operating at 55% brain shutdown. Crikey! That explains why I cannot remember the equation for the Coriolis Force... or what the hell has become of my last bit of stash. <-- Uh oh...

I’m giving up processed sugars today. I am actually a little afraid, it’s going to be hard. Maybe the hardest change I’ve planned in life so far.
I’m going to be sugar sick

Yarddog -- As you get older, yer bod does not squeeze out the right chemicals to handle sugar like it used to.
Here is the result: You get a blood test, and your level is 7%, which is well into the diabetic range even though you are not yet a diabetic. Now you haveta cut out sugar. It is everywhere. Ritz crackers are donut-level sugar. Apple juice. Jam. <-- Alles ist verboten, kaput, und geshundheit! [/Stalag 17]

Your doctor will prescribe stuff, including an under-the-tongue pill (strawberry flavor) to assist your bod in handling your problem.

BTDT.

If you aren't an alcoholic, you are going to learn how they feel doing without booze. It will take discipline.

And here we have a little reminiscing - from Rodney Dangerfield -

 

[Unca Walt]

But who else still owns a brush like GW?

I find myself combing my hair with my hands.

Now here is a weird thing about guys: My beard is wire-haired terrier and thick. It morphs at sideburn level into hair so fine that even as a kid (that'd be pre-beard), the barber would not let me get a flat-top crewcut because my hair was too limp.

Back In The Day, my beard was red, but my hair was blondy/brown. I am definitely mixed up.

Wow. That's a pussy that eats you.

That TT is making a ruckus here in Mt @Boo that girls gonna generate quite a bit of income for a lot of Americans.
Really was a most excellent gesture on your part sharing it out like you did!

That's @Boo all right.

End of the road for EV battery maker that raised $15 billion from investors including Goldman Sachs and BlackRock

The Swedish company aimed to become Europe's main EV battery maker and take on Chinese rivals, but filed for Chapter 11 protection in November.

This is an industry that seems to have gotten way ahead of itself pushing out a product that appears largely not totally ready, and at the same time trying to jam it down our throats. Though not in favor of all the EPA changes announced yesterday the one about cars mandates rings. The Venture Capitalists deserve to take the burn. I don't plan on buying a new car in my lifetime and hope that Ms cola will start using my 2nd car once her Doytota hybrid dies. I tried to get her not to buy it. The dual engine maintenance and repair is not simple or cheap. China is selling EV's now for 10K USD. This whole market looks ready to implode, and maybe rise again, as a better Phoenix.

problem with them EV's cant bring em to your local garage or fix yourself and them services centers aint cheap. theres been lawsuits over the parts and service monopolies

Good morning brothers and sisters!

A rainy day here starting at 36F and predicted to reach 46F.

Breakfast out at Cadillac Cafe this morning with Grayfox and NM!

Looks like a good day to pickup some tomato starts for an early start this year.

The good news is that in the 9 years we've driven one, very little maintenance has been required.

We've rotated and replaced the tires and replaced the horn wiring harness. Still 80% left on the original brake pads.
