They're just one page back on this Grizz. Those heads just got together like two semis crashing into each other. I think we have some interesting times ahead.
Gentlemen, I'm excited about the potential here. I agree, there's too much trash about this out there. Time to refine the process and set some decent protocols. How lucky for us that you two found each other with this shared passion.
James,
When my wife passed I was, and still am in some ways, devastated. I didn't know what to do next. I sat in the house, basically comatose for a few weeks.
Then one day I was listening to my favorite band, Rush. The drummer, a decade before, lost his daughter to a car accident and within a year his wife to cancer. All band operations ceased (for several years) and he took an extended motorcycle trip.
A song that was written after his tragedy struck me.
Two weeks later I had all home affairs taken care of and covered, and I left on a new motorcycle and just rode. No particular direction other than away. Ultimately, like the drummer, the healing was all around me. The timeless landscapes and endless two lane roads. The solitude.
9 months and 100k miles later I returned home. Nothing was the same, obviously, but I had come to grips with the loss and could maybe think about possibly going back to work.
We are here for you James. It's not warm and cuddly, but we do care for you. Wish there was more one could do for people facing this.

You Got It, Grizzwald!!! It Takes, When Harvesting The Main Kolas(HELL THE WHOLE PLANT), Two People To Do The Harvesting, I Am The One In The Ladder Choosing What To Be Cut, And The Person Below The Ladder, Makes Sure That The Ladder Does Not Topple Over, As One Must Get Into Some Very Contorted Positions Sometimes To Make A Cut, Plus You Need Someone To Pass The Kolas Too, So They Can Be Gently Placed In The Container That We Keep Them In, Lightly Stacked, So As To Not Crush Them(WHICH BY THIS TIME IS HARD TO DO, AS THEY HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY HARD FROM BEING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT FOR MANY HOURS EVERYDAY, GOOD SOIL, AMENDMENTS, AND FERTILIZERS PLUS PURE WATER, WE HAVE WELL WATER, THAT I DRINK ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE OF IT'S PURITY AND FLAVOR!!!), My Two Nephews When They Visit, Alas Their Last Visit Together Was Several Years Ago, In That Time, One(THE DOCTOR), Married A Beautiful Persian Woman(OUR COUNTRY CALLS THEM IRANIAN, BUT THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES PERSIANS ONLY, SHE IS FROM THE PERSIAN ROYAL FAMILY, HER RELIGION IS AN OLD ONE, KNOWN AS ZOROASTRIANISM. They Have One Child(A GIRL), And Another On The Way, Also A Girl. In The Interim, My Other Nephew(THE GEOLOGIST) Has Had A Child With A Woman From His Work(BAD MOVE!!!), That Is A Boy, Named Kaden, In Honor Of Our Celtic Heritage. He Is No Dead Beat Dad(WE WOULD NOT LET HIM BE ANYWAYS IF HE WAS, PUNCH, SLAP, KICK, I HOPE YOU GET MY MEANING!!!), And Has Kaden Every Day Before And After Work, During The Week, And The Mother And Him Divide Up Weekends. It Is Kind Of Humorous, The Mother Pays Him Child Support, Which To Me Is Fair, Since My Nephew Has Him About 90% Of The Time. But Yes In Harvesting A Cannabis Tree, One Must Be Very Careful Not To Fall, That Is Why, Always, Two People Do This Together. Safety First Reason, Keeping The Herb From Being Harmed Or Crushed Down In The Weed Bin Second. We Always Remove The Large Kolas From The Plants First, Then The Secondary Kolas, And Finally The Third Stage Kolas(SMALLEST AND LEAST WEIGHT OR EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT), The Buds After The 3rd Trimming, We Usually Let Stay On The Plants, If I Am Trying For Male Flowers, Or Trying To Get Them To Increase In Size Over Time. I Have Had Buds That Were Harvested Off Of Plants, Once Removed, That Increased The Light Input To These Inner Buds, And Sometimes If I Deem It Worth It, Or Have Not Been Burned Out From The Harvesting I Will Re Fertilize(NOT USUALLY THOUGH), And Will Let Them Fill In, If Enough Time Is Left, I Have Harvested Especially Late Blooming Plants All The Ways Into November, Sativas Usually, Sometimes Hybrids. They Turn Either Purple Or The Color Of Tropical Punch Kool-Aid, And If They Happen To Be From Plants That I Harvested Earlier, The First Secondary And Some If Not Most Of The Third Buds, They Taste And Look Completely Different From The Herb I Got Off Of The Same Plants Just A Month Or So Prior, More Pronounced, And They Become More Sweet And Sour(HOW I KNOW NOT, BUT THEY DO!!!), Almost As If From A Different Strain Of Herb, But Not So. As Many People That You Can Get To Help You Harvest, If Family Or Close Friends(LIKE FAMILY), Get Them!!! Especially If Rain Is Imminent, And They Are Fully Ripe And Ready, At These Times We All Work Our Asses Of, Sometimes Pulling 24 Hours Or More Of Work. Because If Allowed To Get Wet, The Main And Secondary Kolas Will Mold, Matbe Not All Of Course, But Enough To Make A Significant Decrease In Your Harvested ,Cured And Hand Trimmed Herb. The Third Stage Buds, And Anything Smaller, Generally Do Not Mold, Even If Rained On, Too Small, And They Can Dry Out Easily, As They Are Not As Dense As The First And Secondary Kolas. So If You Trust Them, And They Wish To Help You Hatvest, Unless They Are Slow And Lazy, Show Up With Beer Or Whatever, And Think That This Is Some Grand Old Time, Harvesting, It Is Not, It Is A Grand Time, But Only Because You Are Moving Your Herbs Inside To Cure And Dry, Not Because It Is Freaking Party Time. These Type Of People I May Let Work Out The Whole Day, But Usually Because They Are Doing More Partying Than Working Properly(BECAUSE THERE IS A PROPER WAY TO DO IT ALL,HARVEST.) I Pay Them, And Tell Them That I Do Not Need Their Services Any Longer, This Has Cost Friendships, As They Say To Me, But You Said I Could Work For You The Entire Harvest, To This I Say, Well I said Work, Not Drinking Beer Or Whatever And Trying To Smoke As Much Finger Hash That You Can Gleam From Your Fingers And Scissors, Like I Said, This Is Work, And damn Serious Work, Thank You, And See Ya Around. But Quality Workers Are Worth Their Weight In Gold, If You Have Them, Keep Them Happy, Feed Them, (MOST PEOPLE LIKE PIZZA, SO FOR DINNER I'LL GET A VEGANISH PIZZA, AND A COMBO PIZZA, AND FOR ME, A EXTRA PEPPERONI, EXTRA CHEESE, AND COOKED WELL DONE PIZZA, I AM MAKING MYSELF HUNGRY!!! ALL IN THE XL SIZE, SO THERE IS PLENTY TO GO AROUND), Thank You, Commander Of The 420 Knights Watch, JamesTheGreen
my friend and techy helper!
