fixed the internet. think there modem they gave me pooped out already cause i plugged in my own modem that i bought and activated it and works fine. the guy told me might be the switch but i plugged everything back into the switch so my dad could get wifi off it and works fine. internet is slower of course due to the switch as usual but it's not super slow. eventually i plan to get a modem with 2+ ports so i don't need the switch at all.

don't think we have any update on the car stuff yet the guy was supposed to call us yesterday but nothing. hopefully they are still trying to calculate the damages and hopefully it isn't too steep that we can fix it up and just use that car. i was thinking though maybe we can fix it up despite it was totaled and have it as DAMAGED on the title but you know just fix it up so it doesn't look like shit new air bags and all that. i know my dad does NOT want to resell the car/trade it in it was my moms car thats why so it holds sentimental value to him and tbh it is the cheapest option for us to do right now. me i honestly don't care i know it wasn't my fault to begin with and i don't drive too dangerously anymore because i've gotten so many tickets/near death experiences that i've learned from my younger years. at least with this option i can actually start saving money for my own car and my dad can use that car to drive the dogs around. the other option was just to get the money pay off the remaining loan fee's claim the rest if there is any and hopefully get a new car.

not sure what we are going to do with the rental car as well cause i think we are supposed to return it tomorrow but idk i might just hold onto it let the company pay out and then figure out the days i use it and see what else we can do until then.

slowly getting major things done this whole car thing was just a huge inconveinence for us. not sure how long we will have to wait for the repairs if we plan to go down that route and i still need a car plus the insurance will only pay out $900 total already costed me $120 for 3-4 days only.

Sunny and mid 60s yesterday, so I went busking downtown for evening rush hour. Today we had a huge, slushy snowstorm - so many spin-outs and accidents on the highway. I had to go out in that shit to play a wedding ceremony (inside, of course. Don't be stupid.) If I had known it was coming I would have subbed out of this gig. Picked up some Chinese take out on the way home, when I got up the stairs and into the house, I looked like a wet, snow covered Yeti. Pealed off the wet clothes put them on the radiators, scarfed down the Chinese and promptly fell asleep in my lazyboy. I heard Wisconsin was going to get it worse, but you seem okay @420God ? You had a winter this year to rival GOT...

Not a drop here, thankfully. Warmer than they forecast and calm all day.

I LOVE perlite as a grow medium, but I've got to water too often. As a lazy stoner, I'm always trying to get more for less, so I decided to mix in vermiculite, which holds much more water while still providing great drainage and aeration for the roots. I buy the 4 cubic foot bags, which are ridiculously huge. Seriously. Bigger than those 55 pound sacks of dog food. One bag will fill up half of a standard bathtub. Anyway, the top rated review for this large bag of vermiculite cracked me up. Check it -

Well, my wife says I have to leave a review for this bag of vermiculite. It's a big bag of vermiculite. When you open it you find it's full of vermiculite. There's nothing mixed in with it, no dirt, seeds, anything. I'm not sure what you would expect to be mixed in, but if you were hoping for something in particular you will be disappointed. Because, as I said, it's just vermiculite. If you are looking for a big bag of course vermiculite, this product is for you. If you want something other than a giant bag of course vermiculite I suggest you keep searching, but probably change the key words in your search. Cause I'm not sure how you got to this product, seeing as the description is "course vermiculite".
My wife says now that I should describe I to you, in case you have questions. So...the bag is about 3 feet long and 1 1/2 feet wide, and weighs. about 10 pounds. It would fill an average bath tub about half the way up. Oh, and it contains vermiculite.
I would buy it again...if I wanted more vermiculite.

It's a bitch when you get what you ask for I guess.

I stepped out my front door into a flock of turkeys. 4 hens to my left and 2 males to my right. The males weren't to happy I got between them and their women. They were gobbling and flailing their wings. I just gobbled back at them, which I think pissed them off more, lol. This went on for 5 or 10 minutes until I got bored and went into the garage. They aren't nearly as afraid of me as they were just a week ago, the hens walked within 15 ft of me while I was working on the truck and making noise with air tools. Maybe I'll try and tame them a little more, I wanted chickens, a semi wild turkey flock could be cool. They're interbred with domestics that got loose, so they're fairly fat. I wonder if they'd roost in a coop if I built one?

I had a bit of a scare last night. I was grilling with Phil. We were drinking of course, and I hadn’t even noticed that my dog wasn’t around. normally he is all over Phil. Because Phil is fat. But anyway, I had to go piss. Well, while I’m pissing I saw that the side gate was open! And my dog is missing!!!! At this point I’m like “let’s go find him!” I was on the verge of flipping out. But I didn’t, I just walked out the front door and gave my call. It’s a stupid call, more of a whistle, but an extremely stupid whistle. And this fucker comes running up to me wagging his tail. Happy as fuck! This little shit really had me worried and there he is loving life because he was out whoring around the neighborhood.

I'd go bonkers too - we've got a bear in the neighborhood that has already busted down a wooden fence & killed a big dog that was on a runner so I'm paranoid af. Not to mention possibly being hit by a car.
I'd be a mess.

watered my sunflowers and checked up on um after 2-3 days of leaving them alone and they looking good. fed the cats, the fish, the dogs and walked um. still need to trim my buds they are ready to be cut been drying for 10 days now. trying out something new this harvest by letting them dry longer so i don't need to burp them had a few people recommend this to me. got a party i need to go to tonight for my grandma's 1 year death anniversary which is basically just the same thing as what we did which is a 1 hour prayer and potluck dinner. not really my grandma but my grandma's sister. we call her grandma cause she helped raised us since we were kids. my dads parents idk they never cared for us and always favored my cousins and my moms parents died when we were very young so it was nice to feel like we had actual grandparents who cared for us.

still super stressed about the car issue i know it will be okay in the end but everyday with no progress to the case is just wasted days.

Ever since they privatised the dog pounds here and called them “rescue centres” it’s been fucked the bastards drive around looking for dogs that get out. They charge $250 per dog to get your dog back. 2 times 3 of my dogs got out they. They could never catch my youngest Rottweiler though he was like a jet lol the first time they got 2 of my dogs $500. I was not happy and the bastards were trying to get the other dog before I got there so they could get the extra cash. Next time they got out I caught up to them a bit quicker same thing but this time while they were chasing the young one
I went starlight to there van let my dogs out put them in my car threw there car keys in the bushes whistled to my other dog who came running said a few polite words to the “rescue rangers” and continued on my merry way. Both times I think it was the bastards letting them out because my dogs were smart but they can’t open gates.
