Bay, I figured since I didn't get to your last grow till the very end, I'd grab a seat a little earlier this time!

From SJ to the Beautiful Northwest LOL, similar to me going from Belmont (San Mateo County) to Idaho many years ago! How's it working out for ya up there with the slightly cooler and wetter weather and the 'very different kind of folks' compared to the Bay? I found the folks up your way very nice.

Here pass it on when your done.........

East Bay...REPRESENT!

 

[Screwnuts33]

I am in to. I am doing the same. Starting to germ and veg inside and then kick them out in April/May. Best of luck BAS. Hope you turn out some monsters.

OMG I am soooo sorry I totally rambled in this post! My bad! it's all the bong rips hehehehhehehehe! Thanks for listening guys! Sorry if it's TMI for my journal.

Ahh, it is the stories we share that make everyone so close, we start to realize we aren't in this alone and most of us share common ground, makes it easier and more fun to share the ride!!! And bong hits make it easy to share...I know from experience.

BTW, I lived in Oregon for a few years some time back and I know exactly what you are going through, I actually plan on moving back when my wife's mom passes away...probably won't be for 20 more years, she is 80 and going strong . But I lived in a little town like you are describing and loved it. Place called Scio, near Albany.

from the mountains.

Bay (can I call you that?) Everything you said concerning your experiences in the South Bay is very true. People in larger metropolitan areas tend to be much more uptight and very 'competitive' with each other. San Jose in the early eighties was already 'getting there' with the emergence of the 'Silicon Valley' things started to get more hectic every year. I drove a truck in the Bay area and was in the South Bay almost daily (and the East Bay,SF, Oakland etc. etc...). After eleven years (and the earth quake) I couldn't handle it any more, so I too took off to the the Great and much more relaxed (except Seattle) Northwest! Since then I moved to the Midwest and met the Wife. I left the NW because of a Gal I was serious with. She wanted to move out here to be nearer to her family. Mistake! Four months later she was back in Idaho and I was stranded here! My wife who I met out here soon after I arrived Since then we have vacationed in your area and others. There has been one thing that stands out in her memory of those trips. The warmth and friendliness you feel with the locals. Your right! Unless your from California! Then you have to prove your alright!

Sorry I'm ramblin also!

Ahhhh the big 89' EarthQuake.. coinsidently I was in Hawaii when that happened and missed all that. But I remember coming home from the beach and seeing it on the TV, and the Battle of the Bays were playing the World Series. San Francisco vs. Oakland.. and they Bay Bridge collapsing. I didn't want to return to our house in Cali, but when we did return, I remember the house was a MESS, I was only 9, but I remember that as if it was yesterday. I am afraid of EarthQuakes, lived in Cali and still have yet to feel a big thundering earthquake LOL.. I was raised up seeing both sides of the law.. the good side and the bad, and although it's not as bad as it could really be.. it's sure heading in that direction fast, and everything is getting more expensive but the products are smaller. I worked at Apple Inc. in Cupertino, and well that just speaks for itself.. LOL

I was just coming back in my 18 wheeler from a delivery in Hayward and was on the causeway of the San Mateo Bridge (just left the toll booth) when the Quake struck! My initial thought was 'why are all the cars in front of me swerving from lane to lane? Then I saw the road in front of me actually flex! Sideways! The radio went dead and cars just started to collide. This probably took less than a minute to transpire, but it was all in slow motion as it was so unbelievable to watch. I did not know that there was an earthquake right away. Anyway it was terrible and it's better that you weren't there! If it was a few hours earlier I would have been on the Bay Bridge heading to Oakland!

Delivered Air Freight from SFO to Apple many times in the 80's. It wouldn't have surprised me to see the employees smoking pot on the job (of course they weren't). That's how cool a place it was, or seemed to me at the time. At least the folks working in the back by shipping receiving areas! Apple had a great rep as a cool place to work.

 

[ol hippy]

Havn't thought of that area in a while!! I was stationed at Oakland Army Base in the early 70s, used to have to cross that bridge all the time to get into Frisco. Always hated crossing that damn bridge. Had a place on 33rd and telegraph 4 of us got an apartment off base . Damn that was eons ago !! I remember going into town doing windowpane acid and saw Michael Bloomfield in a small club there ahh those were the days ....

Hey Bay and Screwnuts,
Just wondering where (outdoors) you will be planting them? Do you have like a 12 foot privacy fence or what????? Or does everyone in Oregon just assume if you see pot growing that the person growing it is legal? Very curious. MM is legal here in MT but I've still never seen it growing in anyone's yard. =)

Bay, I don't think you rambled on too much in your post about Oregon. I have lived in a lot of bigger cities (Omaha, Dallas/Fort Worth, Atlanta) and did a lot of moving in my 20's. Happy to back in Montana now to stay and have come to appreciate the slower pace here, whereas at 19 I couldn't wait to get the eff out!!!

Thanks Woodsman! Im glad you could make it.. and it's better late then NEVER my friend (Im referring to my last grow) You still showed! LOL Im a poet and didn't know it hahahhaha! JK!

I have alot to say about the differences.. I know this is completely off subject but since you asked, here it goes! I have traveled all over the United States, and pretty much have lived everywhere in Cali. Now that I have moved up here to Oregon, which I visited all through out my childhood and adulthood. I even lived here for 6 months about 11 years ago, and I couldn't stand the weather at that time, but I was barely 21, I was still into the party scene but I had 1 kid at that time too, so I packed my stuff, all that I could in my little light blue 1986 mazda 626 5 speed, with my daughter and drove until I got back to Cali. So here I am 11 years later with 3 children, a family and the last neighborhood we lived in, in San Jose was really bad. My deciding moment when I decided I didn't want this kind of environment for my kids to grow up in..I was walking them to school their first day of the New School Year and we live about a neighborhood block away from the school so we walked everyday.. anyway, instead of watching people going to work cleaning of the morning dew on their cars, they were cleaning blood... it was smeared down the side of about 10 cars and all over the ground. That is when I said I have had enough.. So my mom has been trying to get me to move up here for along time, and we did. We now live in a little town, the kind where you run into your kids PE teacher at the local Safeway. Since we have lived up here, we have gone down to visit and handle business and I am now realizing that it seems like everyone there is just in a big rush to in all honest to do NOTHING. And it's soooo crowed everybody seems like they are on edge and mad all the time. I was living that way too and I think I made the best decision for my family. You live fast like that your gonna die fast, and I want to enjoy life, not let it pass me by. Up here it's more relaxing, I don't mind the weather, up here it at least changes seasons, in Cali, ya it rains, but I never felt like we really had WINTER, SPRING, FALL.. ya know? In San Jose, I felt like all I ever saw were PEOPLE, CARS, BUILDINGS, AND MORE PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE!! RUSH RUSH RUSH!! Don't get me wrong, I have love for Cali in my heart, thats where I was born and I am a total city girl, but it kinda turns out, Im a country girl too! LoL If that is possible anyway LoL. Yes there is a noticable difference in peoples demenors up here in Oregon, and it's very clear that they don't like Californians! But I am from they Bay and I will let it be know, people will either love me or hate me, I can't win them all..

OMG I am soooo sorry I totally rambled in this post! My bad! it's all the bong rips hehehehhehehehe! Thanks for listening guys! Sorry if it's TMI for my journal.

In for the ride I hear ya BAS and I'm glad you are finding some serenity in your life. I'm sure Oregoneons don't like Californians like Northern Cali does not like Southern Cali. At least with people living on the West Coast, there is general disdain for the people living south of themselves.

P.S. Are you going to change your "Location:" designation from California to Oregon?

Funny ol hippy, I used to deliver at the Oakland Army Base quite often. And in an odd way that place has special meaning concerning my wife! They had a lot of civilian workers at the Shipping receiving building and most were from the Philippines. Many, very cute girls.. Well I guess after that I developed an affinity for Asian woman! Never able to realize that 'craving' until the day I met my wife a few years later in Chicago. In fact I believe because of the Oakland Army Base and all the pretty Asian girls (mostly from the Philippines) , I married my wife! She's from the Philippines! LOL

Now I know who to blame!! The US Army!

 

[Aberration]

I was transplanted from near Sacramento to Oregon 30-odd years ago. I tried to move away twice. Once for 2 years, and once for 9 months. I was drawn back both times. I have no intention of moving away any more. Oregon is a sweet place to live. Even the ornery people here are nice enough. But for me it is mostly the geography. I love this state.

Nice to see the new grow BAS. I look forward to seeing where you take this.

i wonder if anyone's ever gotten together for a 420 picnic...or party... and had a mass taste test, experiencing all these different plants we've watched grow. GREAT IDEA.
