Fuck it's lunchtime and I haven't started anything.
Hmm... soup sounds good.
I've got chicken stock, onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots -- and a can of spam! Woot!
Gonna make cheesy spam soup(tm). :P

Oh and gotta throw in some hemp seeds for omega 6 fatty acids. They help offset the SPAM ingredients I can't pronounce. :?

Northern Lights is a good strain for medicinal use and doesn't have a lot of stink, which I appreciate.
So you use rapid rooters for seeds? I use those for cuttings, but it's easier to sprout seeds in a cup of water then transfer them to solos after they open. I use distilled water to make sure there are no contaminants. It doesn't take much.
I soak them in ph balanced water, then I put em in the rooters and enclose em in a plastic container until they sprout. Pull the lid off, let em grow a bit, then put em in 3" net pots with hydroton and put em in my little bubble nursery for a little veg time, then it's off to the 5 gallon buckets. I've done it a lot of different ways, this is my latest technique. Worked good on my last grow, so I will see what happens this time. I'm in the process of making a new smaller bubble nursery at the moment.

Still fighting leaves. But I'm winning on points (I think). No knockouts here, fuckers are relentless. You get them all up, next morning they're everywhere again.

Made time to go get 11 barn mats for shed flooring. 4'x6'x3/4". 100 lbs. each.

My 62 yr. old buddy and I loaded and unloaded, then I hauled 3 at a time on a tarp with tractor to the front of shed. On the final load, I got too close to the pile, snagged the load I was pulling, and got hit it the back with a tarp grommet that ripped out and was propelled by bungie cord. Ouch.
9 mats will cover the floor. 6 go in whole, 3 need 8" cut off the sides, and the cuts will go the the 16" gap at the front. No waste if my calculations are correct.
I have to figure out what kind of Sawzall blade will be easiest to use on 3/4" thick recycled tire rubber. I've done it before once, don't recall what blade I used. 2 extra mats will go in front to cover pieces and it's where I'll park the tractor.

Rain tomorrow, perfect day to put the underlayment down. 5 layers, only because it's leftover from last year and I lost the Lowe's receipt. So it's ALL getting used up right here. I still don't know how I have 1100 sq. ft. of underlayment. Mr. Sulu must have made an error in his calculations before the jump to light speed.

So I have something to do for a couple days. As usual.

Anti-fatigue flooring?
I had that in my garage at the last house and it really makes a difference if you spend a lot of time on your feet (or knees).

I ripped a toenail up once washing clothes. In flip flops, I bumped it hard on one of the machine legs. Screamed in pain for a minute, was almost afraid to look at it.

Went to Dr., she didn't do a lot other than say the nail would fall off. I asked for an excuse for work for a week and she said, 'OK, but only because I know you. It's just a toe'.

I got the impression Dr's. don't consider toes very important.
Ouch!

I did something similar in flip flops. Tore the nail up on my big toe and broke it at the same time.

I cleaned all my aquarium filters (8 of 'em) and applied the final coat of tung oil to a pair of figured maple pistol grips I've been working on- I'll post a pic tomorrow once they're dry.
That nitrate black goo water from the filters is the best amendment for your plants ever. Hell, you can feed it to baby seedlings without burning them.
