Derby's Fly By Night Photos

Seemed like a lifetime and now so close. Knocking at the door. Healthcare is the only black hole in the equation. Damn government

Medicare kicks in at 65! I don't have too long to wait for that, but I still can't afford to retire then.

Medicare doesn't cover much anymore. Mom & dad have supplemental insurance that runs $870./ month and continues to rise each year. That's my concern. The not knowing pucker up factor.

Well I'm behind again in the dungeon. Thought I finally had a few days off to take care of things but shit happens. My mom got admitted into the ER last Tuesday with some heart problems and thought I needed to visit her over the holiday. Also yesterday had to go to a viewing for my wife's side of the family that was out of town.
Big girls still need a good defol after stretch. Hoping to get that done this evening if I don't end up working all night. They really are screaming for some air to be blowing thru their skirts. Automation can only help out so far.

I hope they're taking good care of your mom Derby. Send her our best.

Thanks Shed. I do believe they are. Just don't ask mom what she thinks. She thought she should of been home for Thanksgiving.

I miss the color of your leaves when you don't post!

And done with the defol on the CHZ #1
Before

And after

This beast is 42" wide and I took almost half the plant to get some air thru it. We'll see how they do over the next few days. I'm expecting a little leaf burn but by the end of the week things should be back on schedule. Now let's blow this tent up.

I appreciate a sensible defol.
Some get too carried away with it, but yours looks like it should.

Hey sorry to hear about your mom being hospitalized and your wife"s family member Derb. Hope your mom makes a full recovery and can have Christmas dinner with you guys. I can imagine trying to keep my mom from being at Thanksgiving dinner. She would jailbreak the hospital .

Funny thing about the Cnc's. We actually had one in shop class but our teacher wouldn't let us use it . He only let one of us kids run it. The kid's dad had a machine shop and he was already running them at work.Our teacher was like it's an expensive machine don't want you knuckleheads breaking it hahahaha. Look back now and think Idiot. Should have been exactly what we should have been trained on.

Thanks canna. I just try to make sure the plant can get good air thru it and remove any lowers that won't get good light.

Like I said - sensible.
The leaves are there in nature for a reason.
Taking too much off doesn’t make sense.

Dumb-ass. Cnc have rapid over rides down to 5% and feed rates the same. And a big red button that shuts the drives down. How the hell would you destroy the damn thing. I've seen spindles thru a part and after re aligning things be up and running again within an hour.

Hope your mom is up and running again soon Derby!

 

[Derbybud]

She's home now so she is a bit better. She thought she was going to come home and do anything she wanted to do. NOT. Glad my brothers in helping my dad and her out. Mom likes to push dad until she gets her way. My brother is a very good mediator.

 

[Pennywise]

Moms have a way of getting what they want. Lol

Big girls are back up and running good after the defol. Thirsty as hell. I'm running 2 1/2 gallons into them a day with still no run off.

The Dud 91 still has a bit of droop but not like it did the day after defol. It looked sad.
