Hello, my long lost brethren & sistren!
I've been lurking when I can (gotta get my dose of 600 pR0n whenever I can) and, as usual, am blown away by the nice buds and up & coming plants you all have been putting on display for us!
Got lots done on my grow box, and the plants went through their first 12/12 photoperiod last night!
I have all but 7 up-canned into 2-gallon pots and they are already showing increased growth.
Also vented in some cool air from the A/C unit to help with the high heat we've been getting.
On a great note: my ventilation mods are working better than hoped for!
The outside temperature was 93-f and the grow box was 97-f (before adding cool air from the A/C).
So it's at least able to keep the interior temperatures to within a few degrees above ambient temperatures.
With a little bit of A/C it dropped down to 83 degrees during the worst of it. and is now at 77-f with the room I'm in at 81-f.
Not too shabby.
I have 7 more seedlings to tranplant tonight, and then I'm back to polishing up the song I've been working on.
I've checked on youtube for other people's covers of the bass part for this song, and they are all pretty damned tame.
This is done in a fast boogie woogie beat, and it needs to be PLAYED, not dabbled with
But, it's a song I've avoided learning on bass since I first heard it in 1976 (great year for music).
I learned to play the part for the keyboards, but the bass was beyond me.
So in the process of learning it on bass, I decided I want to do a better than average job of it.
So it's taken me a lot more time to get it right.
It won't be a perfect bass cover, but it should be good enough to get the feet a tappin'
Anyways, here's a few pics of my progress:
And I got a new cell phone after 5 years of love/hate with my Razr v3!!!
And I had to make sure it had a decent wallpaper
Time to roll a fattie and practice, practice, practice.
More to come soon!
Peace!

"Smokin'" is a rock song by the American rock band Boston, released as the b-side to the band's first single,"More Than A Feeling." Like most of the tracks from the group's debut album, it has become a staple on classic rock radio.
[edit]History
The song was a collaborative effort between Tom Scholz, the band's mastermind, who had recently hired lead singer Brad Delp, and one of the two songs on the first Boston LP not written by Scholz alone. Delp's singing style mixed with Scholz's musical style in this song helped their eponymous first album to sell over 17 million copies. From early demo tapes made in his basement, some with Delp, an early version of the song, called "Shakin'", appears from the Mother's Milk Sessions. This tape reveals that originally, the song had a different meaning.
