Couldn't`t copy without all the script showing. Wish we could still edit/delete after posting. Would shorten some of the work mods end up having to do also.

Damn mark scary to think our politicians think they know better than us and we are to ignorant to make decisions for ourselves.I was watching a series about the civil rights marches in the 60s on TV the other night and i was thinking this needs to happen again to show these people WE govern and not them,they are just the instruments we use to carry out our wishes.

Dam left the intake hose in the water tank yesterday and the 1000 gal tank drained out over night. I spent the day re-filling it with water. I didn`t get the 325 gal tank cleaned out and filled. Dumb mistake to make!

I got my tanks full and transplanted all my extra clones and the plants from seed. Didn`t do a few that are suspect of being males. I also talked to a water delivery guy and he said it`s $200 to have water delivered. He has a 3000 tank so it doesn`t mater if you want a gallon or 3000, all the same. He also said it was only costing him $7 per load to fill at a hydrant with a permit. Hell that would be $800 a month ! How does anyone afford that! If you could sell water all year around you wouldn`t need but a hand full of customers to make a good living doing that ! I`ve seen water trucks going for cheep and if I thought there was a way to get a large truck down to my creek it would be an investment . I just can`t see backing up half a mile as there wouldn`t be enough room to turn around down there with a large truck. I know 5-6 people who didn`t put gardens in this year and almost everyone else planted less, myself included, because of the water shortage. If I was down at the creek I could be planting more ! Got to get a survey and get a pad put in down there ! It`s also much cooler near the creek in summer! Also much more privet and no dust from traffic along the dirt road!

Making a great batch of tea today and planning on doing a good drench on the beds tonight or in the morning. Tea has been soaking over night and I`ll add the live material and air pumps today for 6+ hours. Includes plant protein nitrogen , Bat guano , seaweed, willow water, coconut water, hematic acid, sorghum , molasses, alfalfa extract , and Earth Juice micro nutrients. Plants should take off !

Humatic acid, most likely spelled wrong. Can`t get the spell check to work on that word. Sorghum adds brix much like molasses and has plant energy fluids. It also feeds bacteria in the soil.
Got the tea in the 325 gallon tank and we applied it to the plants. My son will give the beds a good soaking in the morning. I`m headed off to see my parents before they leave for AZ. Maybe the last time I`ll see them as they don`t think they will be able to make an other trip out to Cali. They look like skeletons, both of them. My step mom has a hard time remembering anything. Dad broke his wrist trying to drive the car. They informed us kids that everything has now been transferred to a trust account for us kids. Not sure what that means but I know they have millions in investments. Mostly income property. Dad said I should build a house on my property . Hell I was 12 years old the last time I helped build a house with him.

We been working on soaking the beds this whole time ! Load after load of water and they just kept soaking it up. I think we got all the rows top to bottom now. It won`t take so much water to keep up on it I hope! Today I was sitting in the truck at the creek while the water was filling the tank and a small buck came up to the front of the truck. It had two 7 inch spike horns with some velvet on them, As the truck became full I got out and didn`t see where it went. On the next water run it was on the hill side across the creek just standing watching me running the water pump. It finally decided to go lay down in the brush and take a nap. Earlier I had the road widened with a dozer so the office trailer can be backed in. I pulled out one of the chairs, a folding table and a magazine rack off the wall where I`m building a red oak shelf and wall mount for the wide screen HDTV, Blue Ray DVD player and a Satellite TV receiver. In the bottom shelf's I will be able to store CD`s, DVD`s and cassette tapes. Next project will be to get the motor home all the way level and stable so it doesn`t rock when you move around. Then it`s camp clean up time! Should have the office trailer in this weekend.

Tomorrow I need to fill the water tanks again. Doesn`t mater how I feel it has to be done. I called about having my office trailer delivered this weekend and the guy hasn`t finished doing the new siding yet , he also said he hurt his neck . I could have told him he is a pain in the neck ! I already paid weeks ago for the trailer, the work, and delivery. Next time I`ll be paying a deposit of 1/2 to 2/3 and pay the balance when delivered. Incentive helps people get what they said they`d do get done on time or as near as possible. This guy wants to deliver it after work next week? Is he going to get here after dark and just dump it off or will he put it where I want it ?

Dam, Thunderstorm woke me up! Got to get the pumps out of the rain! Doesn`t look like it will last long. But it`s coming down hard. Least it isn`t giving us dry lightning that can cause fire. Going to make it humid.

Humic acids, brother. Sorghum is another sugar, an alternative to molasses as Mr. Castle has explained. :)What does the hematic acid and sorghum do for the plants @markscastle ?

yeah, that storm surprised the shit out of me, then I went out and a fox was trying to get my hens...so good thing for the thunder that woke me up.
Hey Mark, just a friendly heads up, be careful with getting water from the creeks, I heard the county brought in 30 extra fish and game till the end of the season and that is exactly what they are looking for. I have a creek running thru one of my places and I can't use it even to piss in this year.
