MUST READ THIS, HILARIOUS!
So, yesterday was moving day. I got everything moved over and unloaded etc by 9pm. Lights out at 10pm for the plant. I get back over and unhook all the components and get em loaded into the back of a tiny Honda Civic. Now to cover my plant I'm originally thinking large black trash bag....forgot to buy some. So I take one of those round nylon hampers (black) and carefully put it over the plant. Ride the three miles to the new place and tell my girl to let me out on the back side of the building where theres less lights and no people. She lets me out and drives back around to park at the front. I walk the length of the side walk to get to my building. As I'm getting to the stairs I begin wondering where my girl is as shes got the keys, I stop about halfway up the stairs and my heart skips a beat as I see our courtesy officer (an on duty cop at the time) telling the people on the balcony across the street to keep the noise down. Now heres the bad ass part. I'm halfway up stairs when he turns his head to look in my direction, What do I do? Give him that old Texas nod of the head and country boy smile, he nods back and continues on his way. Now of course the universe has to punish me for winning right? Well as I'm smiling my way to the top of the stairs and thinking how awesome I am my work boot catches the last stair and I trip knocking a handful of hydroton and most of the water out through that stupid blue hose they put on the side of waterfarm units. About this time my girl rushes by me unlocks the door and we both hop inside. She tells me we have to go back outside, I ask wtf for? Apparently she'd been held up by the lady who lives across from us and now I've gotta go back outside and say hi. On the fly I explain how I spilt some fish tank water and rocks etc and make nice.
Cheesus branches got bent out of shape alil but nothing broken that I could see in the dark. Filled the res with tap water for the night and now in twelve minutes I'm gonna start hooking up the lights and get them on at the accustomed time and survey the damage (if any) as well as mix up new nutes.
