For as much as I've been on here posting today I got quite a few things done. I made a bunch of drip rings for my tomatoes, blanched and froze a bunch of mustard greens, consumed beer, washed the car, added a couple more sprayers to my DIY front yard sprinkler system, consumed more beer, put the air conditioner in the window, planted some more seeds in the garden, consumed more beer, and smoked a bowl.

All that had me hot and sweaty but before I could take a shower I had to get all the fuzz off my face and shave my head. Yes I shave my head. I gave up hair years ago. No ridiculous comb over for me or wearing a hat. I just shave it off. It is what it is. But then the damn power supply to the trimmer broke at the plug to the trimmer. Now this broke a few years ago at the strain relief and I've fixed it and taped it up several times. This time there was nothing left. So crap.

Go grab some tools and the soldering iron, open it up, solder the cord from the adapter directly, I don't care if the cord is attached. I only use it in the bathroom anyway. Then when I go to put everything back together the damn on off switch keep popping out of place as I try and put the 2 clam shells back together. This one little piece kept falling off. Finally after about ten minutes I get it put back together and can finally take a shower. So I've done enough today and am drinking another beer and smoking a bowl of some Bruce Banger I grew from some freebie seeds before cooking some Spring Chinook salmon I pulled out of the freezer that was caught below Willamette Falls on the Willamette river and given to me by a good friend when he came to pick up some clones I gave him.

I think I paid $15 when I bought this about 15 years ago. I could buy a new one for around $20 but being the cheap ass that I am I decided to to fix this one. It still works just fine. And I was too scraggly to go out in public to buy a new one, hadn't shaved for a week and couldn't wait for Amazon Prime delivery. I was looking like some homeless dude. Here's hoping for another 15 years of use.

OOH, a fancy soldering iron with temp control. We had a soldering station at work and we'd roll up a piece of safety wire and lay it next to the iron to see if anyone would try to solder with it. That was almost as fun as charging up a cap and leaving it on a bench, then waiting for someone to pick it up.

Back in the day before Hazing was even a thing the fuckin twigets would charge a cap & toss it to you. Of course you reflexively caught it & it BIT TF outta you.

Now adays you'd probably go to jail for it.

Holy price gouging! Just went to order materials for a batch of super soil from Amazon....I was shocked. Worm castings are up to $40 for a 30 pound bag, from $30. Blood meal was up to $26, from $18. This is just in the past few months, 25% + price increases. Must be lots of new growers and/or some crazy shit!!

Well hell, I'll be finding a new source or doing something differently....My aero setup did very well....Maybe it's time for a change....ugh!
