Oh damn! another thread I’m going to have to watch… :-)

Good folks in here too.

Also nice to shake your hand @GreatwhiteNorth . And to meet your lady. And to get an intro to Kodiak.

So yeah I just had a challenging weeklong trip on an AK island. GWN tipped us off to a solid floatplane outfit that got us in in serious wind and record setting rain lol. Like a boss! We Didn’t accomplish all our objectives but worked hard, got a full spiritual reset and returned safely.

Anyway very cool to connect with a solid dude IRL through RIU! :eyesmoke:

Love this place.

Also... @GreatwhiteNorth , our flight to ANC cancelled AGAIN last night! So I’m still in Kodiak... got time for Lunch at Monks? Or a Puff in the park? Lol

This guy had a fire suppression system in place using his pool and a fire hose. It worked. Or he just got lucky.

I have 25,000 gallons in the backyard I use to cool my roof and could be used if necessary. But the Mojave isn't fire prone thank god. Up here at the AV Fairgrounds we are sheltering, horses, alpacas, dogs, cats etc... the animals that were saved from the Woolsey fire.

I have too many cocks so I butchered up 3 of them today. Got sick of plucking after the first one so I just skinned and cut off the meat from the rest. These are range fed birds so they're kinda tough and'll only be used for tacos and soup.

I considered making a plucker at one point but never got around to it.

Chicken chili immediately recommends itself mmmmmmmmm tasty.

In my grandmother's opinion that's why god made grandkids. Worse she was very critical about the lack of thoroughness and the length of time it took us.

I've hunted or raised alot of different animals over the years. Plucking chickens or any bird for that matter is the worst.

I had one with rubber fingers that attached to a power drill but it made the biggest mess in the world. Those drum ones are nice but I don't do this often enough to justify the cost or time to make one.

I'm in the beginning phase of rebuilding a very large piece of deck machinery on a ship so I'm slammed atm.

Have you checked out the Baranov museum? It's pretty cool as is the fishery's research center aquariums & laboratory across the bridge.

My ex brother in law was a machinist and made all sorts of custom grain sorters. A few years back Tyson chicken hired him to make a sorter that could find and pull latex glove bits out of giant conveyor belts of industrial chicken meat. Couple years and many thousands into it they could never figure it out.

I prefer my job as a pot farmer.
Just pulled off another harvest this morning. Quite modest, but an improvement on the last batch.
Plus I have a veg room bursting at the seams. I'm kinda excited.
I decided to go with a monthly cycle rather than 3 weekly, it just seems less busy, but with bigger workloads when they are there. Flowering will move from a 2x4 tray to 8x4 after next month's clones move in.

Decided to fall back on the old, just root em then flip them straight away with no vegging, but stuffing 36 to each 4x4. In theory, you can pull a pound a month.

I just bought this Nugsmasher OG for making shatter/wax -

Can't wait until it gets here. It has a lifetime warranty and weighs 72 pounds. Bought a bunch of different micron bags to press everything from bud to kief. I've got about 20 pounds of dried frosty trim/popcorn nugs (6 Whole Foods paper bags full), so I'm going to be a dab making fool for a while. What's the best way to store dabs, anyway? I was thinking of keeping them as pressed coins on parchment paper sealed in tupperware in the fridge, but people who know please chime in. Gotta beat the dispensary prices, so I'm thinking $30-40 per gram for top-shelf light, clear, low-heat dabs. How much should 20 lbs of popcorn nugs yield me, @doublejj , @Aeroknow ??? I figure I should make my $800 back

HULK SMASH!!!

I got mine a few weeks ago, fresh trim is much lighter in color and tastier then what has been stored for a time but fresh flowers pressed are amazing. I hope you enjoy!

LOL I prefer retirement. Today is shaping up to be a tough day. Rescue two doggies, take them to our Vet which is right next door to the Crab Cooker and down the street from the legit Italian Deli. After the drop off I'll have either lobster or crab legs for lunch and since it's holiday time I'll pick up the really good olive oil, parmesan cheese and some delicious balsamic vinegar for the season and some tasty Christmas cookies and bread among other must haves.
