What did you accomplish today?

How are you classifying generational joints? You smoke a bunch of joints, 1st gen, then roll a joint with the roaches and that's a 2nd gen joint. Easy enough. Wouldn't you need to do that a bunch of times before you could technically have a 3rd gen joint made of all 2nd gen roaches? Then repeat 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen process until you have enough 3rd gen roaches to roll a 4th gen joint. Etc., etc., etc.. (Side thought , do you put a period after a period used for an abbreviation, that doesn't look right)

I can see 4 maybe 5 generations, unless you start early, smoke 20 joints a day and it's going on for decades. At least for me, I don't leave large roaches. I was smoking about 3-4 joints a day and it took me a month to fill an altoids tin which got me a 2nd gen joint. So at that rate I'd take me.... Ohhhh.. 3 years before I got a 3rd gen joint, then a 3rd gen roach every 3 years, so maybe in like 20 years I could roll a 4th gen joint.

Now if you're just rolling a 2nd gen roach into a joint with all 1st gen roaches, I can see high gen numbers.

This Durban is good. :eyesmoke: I just put wayyyyyyyyy to much thought into that.

Could be inferior steel. I have one cheaper knife I can see minor scaling on the edge and I can never get it as sharp as the rest. If its older it may need the edge rehardend. I redid my great grandmother's knife years ago for my grandmother. It was half is original width and into soft steel in the middle. I let that knife go when they sold the house:dunce:

How do you sharpen? Push the blade or pull the blade? Just had a big debate with my roommate, he pushes, I pull.
We can both get razor sharp edges, so it's probably not a big deal. I was just taught you get a sharper edge pulling because it aligns the grain.
I used to be a blade pusher. Lately though I've begun sharpening on a combined stroke, even making it a little elliptical. I've watched vids on sharpening Japanese knives, and in my hands push, pull, reciprocate, make ovals ... all work the same.
 
Video of the deer bouncing off the car. Happens a few seconds after the video starts.


Not working, damn it. I wanna see the bouncing deer!


Edit - You fixed it. That was pretty cool, as that truck was traveling at a good clip. Strong animals, that truck would have taken me out. Of course, I'd never be stupid enough to run headlong into one...

I remember one night when they were driving us to wrestling training as kids, we drove past a scene where a car hit a horse head on, it pretty much split the car around the horse. Was a horrible scene.

Years ago an acquaintence was in mid heart attack being driven to the nearest hospital (Fairbanks AK) in a Datsun B-210 and they hit a Bull Buffalo head on as well.
Killed the Bison and both the guys in the car.

Edit:
We know that deer is in GWN's freezer being nursed back to health :)
 
At least everyone's knives are sharp...
I have a sharpening fetish, but I do not have the skill/coordination to pull it off barehand. Not regularly anyway.

A friend has the Edge Pro sharpening rig, and it forgives much of that. I use it regularly to keep friend's knives usefully sharp.

I did learn never to do this work drunk. I thought it was an OK job until reality annoyingly intervened.

Yes. Roll up all your roach dope. Smoke those joints. Roll up those roaches, etc, etc.

I used to smoke just a little of 2-3 joints ever time I stayed at the camp, which was 2-3 times a week. I have several year's worth of camp roaches that need dealing with. {assuming I still know where they're at}
