Hope the little one makes it. I have a smoker, 2 weber grills, and a gas grill on my deck. Grilling is in my blood!

I have bad news folks... our skydiving tipburned Kate has given it up. She is in the process of completely shriveling up and will be a former sprout sometime tomorrow. We will send her spirit and her body back into the compost bin to come around again. I could not even bear to take her picture.
Twisty is still thriving, starting to use a lot of water... maybe a 2 day wet/dry cycle now... so that is good, and she may get transplanted next week some time.
The bug, imitation or not, was dead on top of the soil. There are more than 6 spots on each of his wings, but I don't think he is a real ladybug... he is too big. Not only that, but I think he ate some holes in my lower leaf and deposited some eggs up there. I am very tempted to remove that leaf, and may after looking at it more closely tomorrow. She is also going to get a lactobacillus serum spray for the next several days, for all I know she has spider mites by now... the garden spiders sure love stringing webs all around her.
I can not imagine how nervous I would be if I had $50 seeds growing outdoors. We are going to start the indoor grow room next week... I am much better at this indoors, where I control everything, and I dare say, where I can give the sun a run for its money.

Too bad, here’s hoping twisty pulls through and we’re able to see the tree you produce outside!

I BBQ all the time. I use to do competition BBQ before I left Texas. I had to leave my big pit with a friend, it's doable, and I had to tow up my things. I have a descent one now, I'm looking to get another big custom one done, but no one around here does them like back home in TX. I'm doing ribs this weekend!

Sorry for your loss, Keep going with Twisty to see how far you can take her into the fall, I mean autumn lol.. Lets see what this veg stuff can do..
Hey Homer! A perfect chefs knife is a great thing. I have a nice one I bought back in ‘96 (believe it is a Wusthov) - full tang, nice and solid. Still like new, and will last many lifetimes! Being retired is great. I just hit the one year mark and haven’t looked back. I spent a full six months or so prepping our house to sell and getting us mostly settled into our farm and the last 6 months trying to learn how to grow weed...
A Wusthov is a good German knife. Funny but the Germans although they make a great knife don't use spectacular steels; it is good quality pure steel but there's not a lot of carbon so they aren't very hard so they don't stay sharp very long but the benefit is they are easy to sharpen. Japanese knives on the other hand have ridiculous amounts of carbon so are extremely hard so hold an edge for a long time but are more challenging to sharpen. My nephew is teaching in Japan and is planning on buying a traditional Japanese chef's knife which I find pretty cool.
Here is my latest knife that turned out pretty well. I watched a documentary about an 80 some year-old Japanese sushi master who decided to allow his apprentice to make a simple cake which he was very excited about but his enthusiasm was severely challenged when it took him almost 200 tries to gain the Master's approval. That is my approach with my chef's knives; I'm trying to make the same one better each time. It is quite the challenge because there are about 20 steps and one mistake in any step and it is not perfect. I think what keeps me so fascinated is that it is so challenging.
Cool, you were a welder too. I find it's like riding a bike so I am sure you will enjoy your little three in one project. The longer I am retired the more I am enjoying it.
You are right about that. I use a sharpening (straightening) steel in the kitchen and it has done a good job.
That is absolutely gorgeous, Homer.
Really nicely done!Yeah. So, far so good. Unfortunately I’ve discovered that my 3 in 1 won’t TIG aluminum. It requires a spool gun - and I never liked spool welding aluminum since there was so much spatter. Maybe things have changed in 30+ years wrt wire fed aluminum? I’ll likely look for a little TIG machine in order to have that capability.

Wow that’s a pretty knife. I’m a Machine Repairman so I am grudgingly familiar with different metals and their applications. Never thought to check a knifes hardness. What is the perfect Rockwell hardness for a chef’s knife? Ever check one or can you just tell? Like a samurai sword is hardest at its edge...how long you been doing that? Man that’s a nice knife.A Wusthov is a good German knife.

Veg, Day 18
Twisty has been doing well the last several days, but still not at the rate of water usage that would indicate it was time to transplant. I have been being stingy with the water so that hopefully she gets on with it quickly. I have no doubt that she will, as I see preflowers now forming in the lower nodes... she is just a couple of weeks from flowering. That lower leaf that was the target of the invading beetle is still there, but it is yellowing significantly ... I will be removing it soon.
Today we go back to a bit of stealth mode, as our house warming party is in a few hours and we have removed all signs of growing and toking from sight and locked up the firearms. Twisty has been brought inside and will be placed in the window up in the grow room for the day... if my guests are allowed up those stairs (many won't try and I will mention the wasp problem) they will see the beginnings of the grow room, complete with lights on the floor and Twisty in the window... it is legal now after all.
Everyone have a wonderful weekend! We start assembling the grow room this next week!
