I played around with the damaged rotavapor this morning...She's toast. A parts machine. Someone already had it apart evaluating itI believe...Probably the lab that let it go. I broke the vapor duct tube taking it out, which I was told would most likely happen. Bearings are shot in the motor, the vacuum seal is missing as well as other parts. Oh well, I got some free parts and a free education. It's a freaking complex machine!!!!! Built in Switzerland too! It was a beauty, 30 years ago :lol:

The good news is, my little raised garden with lettuce and peas just sprouting all survived! And the sun is shining and supposed to hit 60f today.

Think I'll go soak up a little sun and re-assemble my push mower project...More my speed than a rotavapor!

Oh my terps I ordered arrived, that @Aeroknow recommended, so I may try making some rosim carts over the weekend...And I have the terps just in case I need them. Got 3 types to try.

Sooo stoned Friday :eyesmoke:

I went fishing today and brought home 4 nice trout, caught and released 3-4 more

I fished with both lures and bait for an hour and a half with no bites, then the weather got a little brisk so I puffed a little bowl and changed to a black spinner and started catching fish nearly every cast until the sun came back out and the fish stopped biting altogether

My wife cooked up 2 of them for supper tonight, and I vacuum-packed the other two and froze them

Can't be as bad as Cairo.

Traffic Police give up trying to control the chaos.


I have driven the streets of Cairo. The video IS a daily event.

My counterpart told me that a crew of "Traffic Engineers" studied the pattern for one day.
They came back with a report saying that once the holiday was over they would reevaluate the patterns and give a formal report.

They were told "This is no holiday. This is everyday!"


Fuck me, I'd at least have a 150 dB locomotive horn if I had to drive in that mess! Outta my way MF'ers

One good thing about the mess is I got a good working Buchi waterbath out of it...I tested it yesterday and it seems real accurate. That will come in handy for something. Chemistry is quite fascinating and it took me until now for me to fully appreciate it! And it's fun!

Cleaned up one of the large perennial gardens, pruned two of the lilacs.....also used the quad to rip out some invasive trees in those lilacs....I fucking love that thing. Moved a 20' section of apple tree that fell over the winter......the tree got wedged up pulling it, but it's out of the way for now.....I'll saw that up one of these weekends...... smoking wood..... Went out on a quad ride.....trails need some cleaning up. Smoked a bowl at the corner of nowhere and awesome........it was a good day :blsmoke:
