Wasn`t that bad of a mess to clean up. Wind took care of that. My daughter came and my grandson changed into his
boots, leaving his new shoes and his socks in the motorhome when they left. Nope they don`t fit me, way to small, LOL! Nice little Star Wars shoes.

Got contacted by CCHI2016.org I`m not sure what I`ll be doing , but I will be working with them . They are about 1/3 of the way to having enough signatures for the ballot and about 1/3 of the way in , so it will be tight but they are on track to having it on the ballet this election year! I`d feel better if they had it over half way by now however!

They need about 400,000 more so that`s not likely, but every vote counts so when and where is the next cup, they need all signatures in April to be added to the ballot for the 2016 elections. They have two concerts /benefits coming up soon so check out there site for the info.

Went to town and got my medications that were filled, some Gas, Propane, and did laundry. Picked up the mail on the way home and stopped off to see how the hash making was going. Half the material is dry, about 30 paper bags filled to the top , and helped turn the other half over in the hanging baskets. I got about 2/3rds of the stuff culled so going to end up with about 90 or so paper shopping bags full of material for bubble hash? everything is put away but the empty tubs are still needing to be unloaded. I`ll work on filling them tomorrow. It`s going to be a nice sunny day and hope to also finish the buds hanging to dry. After that it `s a short break on the work , maybe some smaller projects I`ve put off and then time to start trimming next month.

Got the buds all dry and down from the lines last night. I will work on the last of culling from the garden now as it`s a very nice sunny day for once! should be able to finish that today if my feet hold up. I was up late last night finishing the drying and because my son was hit from behind in his car. Looks like he may need a new car. Oh the coffee tastes so good this morning!

I`d need one with a super charger so I could try and keep up better around here! Always so behind on projects.

Got board so did what always perks me up a little. I started a bunch of seed. Many are old like the Double Twisted OGK and the Pre-Soviet Kandahar. So we will see what pops and grows good. I`m almost hoping the 69 skunk fail because they stink like hell , even as sprouts! But I got to make fresh seed and , well some people eat that stuff up. If I get some to take and have some extra fresh seeds, may send some in to the Farm and list them. Mostly sweet strains and stuff that produces large tight buds because it will also be what I grow for next Spring. I`ll do some refreshed seed for my collection , my starts for Spring and maybe clones. I won`t have time to send any down to So Cali so I`m hoping someone will be willing to travel up north for some rare elite genetics. Proceeds will go to my grow and towards property improvements. I`ll keep everyone posted on any progress and maybe some pictures. Oh the Double Twisted OGK is stuff I got from Elite Genetics when he rented from me back in the day. I`ve had a bunch of people pester the hell out of me to make some of that strain available. Seems it was mostly lost and was very popular. I think he was getting $350- 400 a pack back in the 90`s ! And His site had complaints he didn`t have enough available. Most people who posted pics were wanting to reorder and pissed when he couldn`t keep up on the orders, then he got busted. Fingers crossed on some of the older stuff!

Dam , can`t believe how hard it`s raining! Step`n outside with a bar of soap! I`ll towel off as I come inside. May need a life vest if this keeps up! No doubt it`s flooding somewhere in the valley tonight. My dirt road has a deep rut developing on it because of the run off. Going to need to be scraped with a box scraper or people will be getting stuck or high centered when they end up with there wheels in the rut. The road could use some ditches for drainage or something. It gets so loud on the motorhome roof it keeps me up at night!

I sprang a leak on the office trailer so put plastic over the top for now. It was just the right length but the width was long. I was going to trim it then decided to tack it down with lathing so it covers the whole back side. This way when I take it off I have a larger piece to work with . Just need to put some lathing on the ends today and then taking the screens off over the plant stubs in the garden. I couldn`t reach some of the growth under them so I`ll cull off the plants some more for hash materials and pull the stumps . Going to work the soil to loosen it in prep for the next grow. I need to take down the ends and roll up the sides so I can put screen in this time early. No moths laying eggs on plants and no hoppers. This time I`m going to buy lady bugs also and the screens will hold them in better. Think I`ll feed the soil some manure and buy some worms to add to the soil. I want my soil in great shape for Spring planting !

Been cold at night. Nice and sunny today though. Some of the old seeds I started are just showing tails. Still keeping fingers crossed. A lot of times old seed cracks but doesn`t have the energy to push through the soil and thrive. Just have to see. Was very surprised the 69 skunk were the first to show tails! And yep the seeds are from 1969! Going to work on taking down screens and culling more today.
