Just had a virtual gig playing for a senior living home in California. They hired me for 3 of these gigs, each Wednesday. $250 for the hour long performance, I LOVE not having to pack up and travel, and just play through Zoom from my home studio. They were very sweet and appreciative. I've been turning down gigs right and left, I don't want to play any in person until I get vaccinated. Now that the dems rule, I'm getting plenty of unemployment, which should have automatic extensions after mine runs out in May. Thanks, Obama, er, I mean, Biden! I just finished another harvest week, so I have an entire week off of plant shit, too. Very nice.

Cleaning out a closet to use it as a veg room. I can see the floor now and the shelf is mostly empty. Found some family pics and a few of me when I was about 3. Moving cookbooks that have been living in that closet for 15 years into another cabinet because "You don't throw away cookbooks". :roll:

Scared the crap out of me when I came around the corner to park, thing is 9ft tall
Gandalf was my first thought, maybe it was a Druid Church I had to do work at?
Nope, work order says Methodists.

Second guess was Friar Tuck, so I looked around for the rest of Sherwood forest cast.
Nope...third guess was Gandalf again.
Turns out someone died and left them a statue of Moses.

This doesn't make any sense ......... why not just play a Youtube recording of a real band for free and save $250?
Not to mention claiming unemployment while you admit to working.

I had my shoulder injection this morning. I have had dozens of steroid injections in the past, but they were always done by surgeons, and this time it was my pain management doctor, and he is NOT a surgeon.

He pulled out this BIG ass needle, and I said "no novacaine?" He said nope, there's plenty of lidocaine in with the steroid....I bit my tongue....and amazingly didn't feel a thing. He slid that thing in there like a pro, using ex-ray...or fluoroscope I think it's called. Felt the slightest pressure when he emptied the syringe, but I was so freaking happy, because I was expecting the worst. I've had lots of hip and spine injections and they all hurt like hell, and they used novacaine 1st too. I don't have much hope though as I got no instant relief, which I should have with lidocaine in there...We'll see what happens in the days to follow. Just glad it's over...I was hitting the vape cartridge as soon as I left his parking lot! Followed by the dry herb vape...It's a long drive :lol:
The only time you let a surgeon use sharp objects on you is when you have general, regional or local anesthesia and I'd be very careful about the local :lol: anesthesiologist's are the ticket for these type of things :)

PS I'm really glad it didn't hurt.

I think it is the interaction and the fact that the program is crafted specifically for them - I introduce myself and go through my background, and they get to ask questions and make comments between songs and such. It is a much different experience than just a passive, generic viewing. Having said that, I'm with you. I wouldn't pay for a virtual event, either.

I feel your pain. I had a cyst on my labrum in my shoulder.

They pulled out that same needle. They went into the front delt out the back of it and into the labrum.

Stupid painful and then my shoulder was good.

Worth it. Would do it again if the problem arose again tbh.

So I worked today but was off pretty early so after lunch I did some garden work including getting my new fan and filter hung.. 2nd item I've bought now that was a RIU advertiser.. Got to say I'm pretty impressed with the infinity fans. Having humidity and temperature in a controller his priceless.

Made some vg tincture for my wife.

Looks nice. I've been reading about all the different ways to do this. I only tried it once a long time ago, with alcohol, and it wasn't good. VG...is that vegetable oil? Sorry for my ignorance on the topic!

I was just looking at this machine last night, that looks intriguing....a little pricey but one of the cheaper ones...some are 2k plus. Says you can make oil, shatter, and more with alcohol based wash.

Thanks. I have a “cold-brew” version of the VG tincture going right now using Sour Deisel. It retains more of the flavor profile, but it takes 3-6 months to make. I just mix the vegetable glycerin and the material together in a jar and put it under the bed. Shake the jar once every day for 3-6 months and it’s ready.

Here’s the slow-cooker recipe I use:

Tincture #2: Cannabis-Infused Glycerin
Vegetable glycerin is an ideal alternative to alcohol when it comes to infusing cannabis tinctures. It is naturally sweet, so keep that in mind when using this infusion in your edible creations.



Ingredients
  • 7 grams cannabis decarbed
  • 4 ounces vegetable glycerin food-grade
Instructions
  1. In a small mason jar, combine the decarbed cannabis with the glycerin. Seal the lid and shake to mix the ingredients.
  2. Place your mason jar on a heat-safe silicon pad or small folded towel (to prevent the jar from breaking) in your slow-cooker. Carefully fill the slow-cooker with water until it's at the halfway point.
  3. Place the lid on your slow-cooker and heat for 24 hours on the lowest setting (preferably the 'warm' setting). Remove the mason jar and shake every couple hours if you can.
  4. After 24 hours, remove the mason jar and allow to cool (slightly) for 15 minutes.
  5. While the tincture is cooling, secure cheesecloth around a funnel small enough to fit the opening of your glass eyedropper bottle (if using) with a rubberband. Otherwise, line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth.
  6. Carefully pour your slightly cooled tincture through the cheesecloth, collecting the ground cannabis in the middle of the cheesecloth. Once all the liquid has filtered through the cheesecloth, gather the edges and squeeze as much of the liquid out as you can.
  7. Allow the tincture to cool completely before closing the lid of your container.

Good to be around. I been just spending time with the baby and finding my inner self. I was still healing from when our son passed away when my wife had our daughter last year. I don’t want to let my past dictate my present anymore. So, I finally decided to quit being a pussy and resolve what it was that was deteriorating me from the inside. But yeah, that’s basically it lol.
