AC/Heat guys came this morning and my wife asked me "You gonna put your rifles away?" I said "nope". She asked "but won't they see them?" I said "Yup, if these men don't know us folk round here have a rifle or two at the back door then maybe they should."

I moved the okie x Cinderella to the right corner. I also managed to bend the tops down without breaking for the first time ever. Maybe because of the stretch ? The plant looks like hell. Will be surprised if it survives. I went in scratched the soil and pulled some leaves for more air circulation. Added some ewc and a dash of craft blend. Had to trim some bottom branches off the rear nlx hashplant that got moved to the middle. The rear left og biker lemon is one weird plant. It has hundreds of bud sites, the branches are super long and lanky. It smells like vomit or rotting something at the moment. Probably won’t have big buds but lots of them. The plant wasn’t topped either. I bent over that plant and the tall Nl hashplant. The pbb that I didn’t transplant right side 2nd back, her stems are harder than a viagra commercial.View attachment 2592041View attachment 2592042the Death Star is just majestic View attachment 2592043^ here’s the tarded seed in the tarded soil. Not sure about its origin. Seedling popped up in Death Star’s bunker weeks after moving into ocean forest after having issues with my used bas 3.0. It’s either a Death Star that didn’t germinate or ocean forest includes seeds . Anyway it’s a totally different color. Now is that the tarded seed or the tarded soil?

Ganja Farmer!! Love itt

A good set of tires will help that.
A great set of tires will astound you.
Depending on the VW and miles there are some chassis bushings that are more of a user item than the spark plugs that will go 90,000 miles. When they get loose it makes the vehicle sloppy and not on point.

I had one car in 40 years that drove so shitty I had to put studded snows on it and get them off in the spring.

The tires although new this past August, aren’t good at all in the snow. There’s no siping in the tread blocks. She got creamed on the way to work December 2024 in the snow by a driver who was tailgating and then passed illegally on a solid double yellow line going opposite direction of her. This ruined her confidence and her ability to drive in any type of snow. So she hadn’t been driving in the snow much since then, unfortunately not much input on how poorly the vehicle was in the snow because of this.

I just loaded up my favorite cross, GDP x BBHP with Mother's Milk, Gelato 33 AND it's parents, Blueberry Hash Plant & GDP hoping I can get some grapes and frickin berries back. Loving the old school Afghani flavor and have a pair making S1's but it's so damn good I'm mixing it with everything else

I'm gonna have more seeds than I could ever grow. Y'all should be making seeds of your favorites

It pisses me off that a lot of companies prioritize new customers over loyal ones. As a classic example, way back in the day I used to subscribe to Surfing Magazine. Inside every issue there were usually a couple prepaid postage cards inside that said subscribe today and we will send you a FREE Surfing Magazine visor and tee shirt! And I thought well that's a load of bullshit where's my free visor and tee shirt for being a loyal subscriber for 10 years?

Mannnnn, you hit the nail on the head with this one!!! Just got me a little upset thinking about how unfair these greedy fucks are… lol
Good thing we choose were to spend our money. Sometimes it’s a gamble, sometimes it’s a great turn out, and sometimes we learn we’re not to go anymore

I love this! It’s the same reason I open carry sometimes and let it be known don’t play stupid games and you won’t win stupid prizes…
Some people need to be reminded , sometimes soldiers are overseas, some of us are guarding the fort back home, you feel me

I am one of those consumers who will not just sit there and wonder " why do they get a better deal".
Every time I see a better deal on a phone plan with my carrier are call up and complain and threaten to leave them and quoting total bullshit like in Ohio you can not allow a better deal than your members who have already signed up. Start using words like " consumer protection laws" and how it is illegal to prevent a company from enforcing a contract when you have other members on better contracts.
It works every time.
It does not even take that much time. A sense of outrage and keeping calm but letting them know I have lots of free time to spend giving my opinions on your business practices to people looking for phones.

Also.
Former owner discounts from dealers? Puleeease I worked at dealerships. Just ask. All those discounts are normally shit they can not move. You want a purple truck with a light package but no hitch? Don't worry it still out there and they will give you the same deal on shit bolted to the sales floor.
And my favorite money saving adventure. Started using this when our dispensary system went from the medical side of the government to the consumer side of the market.
In Ohio it is against the law to increase your base price of a product in order to decrease the effectiveness of a percentage discount.
And a lot of the states have the same law.
If you sold something within 30 days at a retail price and within 30 days your raise the retail price and give a discount that is illegal. There is a caveat for this to work.
If it is the same product but is a new delivery of product with a higher cost it is legal to do so. This is difficult to find out but I have seen dispensary lists with 2 prices indicating that they are now following this rule. You will have a Klutch brand orange 43 at say 120 an half and a discount and the same product with a different THC amount and a different price indicating a new packaged harvest.
Dispos where not following the law on a lot of things. Some were giving " happy bucks " that accumulate in your account and we're letting us use these " happy bucks ' for discounting weed and that is illegal.

Hey I did not say shit.........

Hey I have a shit load of those frequent flyer miles accumulated at one of my regular stopovers, I guess I better cash them out ASAP before they're discontinued or expired or deemed illegal or some lame reason.

For that grape berry pheno hunt, try the Gelato marked as Pop Tart. I think they're filed under "Wednesday."

The confidence aspect of winter driving is very important.
For years I loved winter driving. Fishtailing, ground loops in parking lots and running over snow men in front yard in Johnny's K5 Blazer.
But around age 50 I noticed a change in myself.

Everybody knows the feeling you get ( if you drive in show ) when your vehicle starts to rotate due to traction. Hitting ice on a bridge or a little to fast on an off ramp. You know the feel.
When this happened as a young man it was like a hit of good stuff to the brain. Jazzed you up and got you concentrating on the task at hand. Blood pumping cycle the brakes look for the point where traction re established itself. Come out of the rotation and straighten it out.
Now look around and see if anyone missed it and is in a ditch.

Now there is so much technology in my vehicles that by the time you start rotating the vehicle has made 3 noises 2 flashing lights and has you straight again.
This now gives me a cold shot of I HATE MY CAR!
Now my brain knows that my experience in snow driving no longer works and I am at the complete mercy of the technology of this vehicle. Any input from me can be cancelled by the control system operating the vehicle with the exception of the steering wheel.
In other words if I need to flip my vehicle 90 degrees in order to clip a snowbank to slow my roll or to evade an accident the car is not going to let me. It will keep me completely under control as I slam into what is in the way merrily buzzing away with its reaction control and ABS cycling.

This is terrifying to me and makes me want to look for a 76 Monte Carlo I can put a modern drive train into as a daily driver.

I miss my Pinto Runabout with manual transmission. Handled ice better than that huge road commission salt truck I passed in the ditch. It had nice wide tires, but I could feather the clutch and keep control. Those were the days. I won't go anywhere in snow now, unless it's an emergency.

A little chilly this morning.

I had a Pinto it wasn't the hatchback though.

I think every family had at least one. My husband had a wagon before I knew him. They were so cheap, but got ya where ya wanted to go. Mine, however must have been put together a little wonky, 'cause I went through radiators, at least one a year.
Oh, and one time hubby had to drill a hole in the bell housing to let the oil out, so the clutch would work well enough to get us home. Something about a bad seal.

 

[Magnumsmydog]

My old man had a pinto he moved the firewall back in and dropped a big block in, I was a little fucker. Got a scar above my eye to remind me of it where I ended up in the back upside down.

I agree, I drove a 92 Volvo 740 wagon for over ten years and then I got my current 2012 tacoma, which has all the bells and whistles that take the fun out of winter driving. The bells and whistles have an off button, but the goddamn things so good in the snow that it just seems foolish to mess around without them. Has me yearning for the days when I use to rip it up in my old nissan 240 , rwd five speed manual and cost me less than a grand. That was fun to drive in the snow and on dirt roads.

I did a Vega with a hot small block. Could not keep an OEM differential in it so dropped a Ford into it.
I raced a Beech stagger wing at metcalf airfield the distance of the short runway.

This is pretty close to the Vega I had. It had 5 different intakes for it.

I lost the race when the diff let go about 2 seconds in.
