Rifleman's Roost Open 24/7: Perpetually Perplexed

Rifleman said:

It's a good story alright. :rollingeyes: A few years ago the CEO wanted a pool. After pricing above and in ground models from 10 to 70 K, she relented to let me handle it. Since I have acres of land and what the maps call a river, I figured it should be pretty easy. The "river" is maybe knee deep and 15 ft wide at its flood stage, barely shin deep and five ft wide the rest of the year, but is wet and running year round. I spent nearly a year shooting grades, digging the pond, compacting clay, lining the sides, landscaping, dock building, etc. A couple acres of pond, sloped with a shallow end, deep end, and a small island. Designed to allow the river to fill it and flow through, then continue on downstream. I even poured concrete dykes with cutouts and feedback to the river in case of overflow.

I can't take all the credit, I do have an engineer friend who did the brain work. I mostly supplied finances and sweat. Well when I diverted the river into the pond the lack of water down river was noticed...and reported. I had finished back filling the old riverbed, burying return lines, and building a new river stone "spring" for the overflow to bubble up from and return to the riverbed long before the state wildlife guys found it. They were not amused that their map wasn't up to date, there was a pond they didn't know about, and the river wasn't where they thought it was.

I'll save you the many court appearances, motions, depositions, experts, etc. Bottom line, diverting a water way is a crime. Who knew? I did get to keep my pond though. Mostly due to my impeccable character, fine attorney, and by going overboard to do it as right as possible environmentally. I do however get to volunteer my labor to the state for a total of 2000 hours, my 48 hour cooler visit was a wrist slap for contempt, and the in ground pool would have been cheaper.

BUT....I have my pond. How's that for a good story? It was a nightmare on my end for a while. I think I'll wait a few years before I start throwing lake fish in it, I don't need any more attention from the state. :cheesygrinsmiley:

That's messed up.
 
a backhoe was my implement of choice as well,, my business at the time,, great tool for widening and deepening a clogged up creek,, worked very well indeed,, just not appreciated by 'the man', the same one that outlawed weed, dickhead
 
Thanks for the support guys. :)

I've been off doing some two wheel therapy and it seems I forgot to post my dry weights. The Dark Devil S1 was 45g, and my creation the Sweet and Sour Devil's Crack gave me 55g. That's another months worth in storage. :grinjoint: This should be enough to hold me until after the Fall planting is harvested.

So what's in store for the Fall planting? IDK. I've got room for seven plants and seeds from as many breeders. I'll make a list below and take feedback in case anyone has $0.02 to put in, then I'm riding off to the closest water fall for an early afternoon swim and fish. :peace:

Barney's Farm
Sweet Tooth Auto

Dutch Passion
Auto Ultimate

Fast Buds
Six Shooter

Feminsed Seeds
Blue Treacle Auto

Mephisto Genetics
Sour Stomper
Sour Crack
3 Bears OG
Grape Crinkle
Skywalker
Skyrone Stomper

Royal Queen Seeds
Bubble Kush Auto

Sweet Seeds
Dark Devil Auto
Mystery Mix

Suggestions or favorites ? :)
 
I really liked the Blue Treacle by feminised. It smelled so sweet and tasted just as sweet. Really packed a punch too. I have one more im saving for a special occasion. It did go waaay longer than the breeder said tho. About 120 days.

I'm used to everything going long. Anything under 100 days and I'm surprised as hell. :yikes: The blue treacle is strongly in the running just because I've only got the one bean.

I've grown the DDA and it is a delight, but I have plenty of it on hand. Never heard of Mephisto Genetics nivek? They have killer customer service and solid, predictable strains. And the best freebies I've received. There are other pluses, but before I sound like a commercial I'll stop. pm If you want more details. :)

I like anything FastBuds puts out and have not seen a six shooter grow before.

Me either Hemi. Breeder states up to 55 inches. BTDT inside and it's not easy. Might be my chance to top an auto. :)

I like the shotglass experiment.

Thanks LEDRF. I was stunned that I kept her alive that long. I'm going to try another micro container grow when my tents fire back up mid oct. Maybe something in a four to six ounce size container.

55 inches, heck sounds like a chance to top and scrog an auto. :rofl:

Give it to me, I am becoming famous for my ability to stunt autos. I have a FastBuds Mexican Airlines in a 5 gallon DWC that is fully flowering at 5 inches. I realized I had stunted her early on as a seedling and moved her into a DWC bucket with a drip ring and left her on the front porch in all this glorious heat we have been having just as an experiment. She has done well in it for the last two weeks and looks very healthy but is still only 5 inches tall with preflowers over every available space, what little there is. I just moved her inside to spend some time with my groundhog stunted Auto Mazar that I managed to reverse one of her branches with colloidal silver. See if we can at least make some Mexican Mazar seeds or would that be Mazar Airlines. I think some call this making lemonade out of lemons. It has been an interesting summer to say the least.

But go for the 55 inches inside and beat her up if need be. We have all seen just how durable these autos can be.
 
I'm hoooooooome ! :)

Chances are you didn't even notice I was gone. Good, that means I'm still keeping a low profile. Where and what you ask? Two wheel therapy I say ! In the last two weeks I've seen the Southern most point of Fla, Niagara Falls, eaten lobster in Maine, and riden through the U.S. Capital at 2 in the morning. I've been on US1, The Tail of The Dragon, The Blue Ridge Parkway, and Skyline Drive. Sixteen states, fourteen days, 4500 miles.

I've been everywhere man ! :rofl:

No fear it's only six weeks until my growing season begins so I'm getting my wanderlust out before the cold sets in. Peace to you all, I'm out for the day. The CEO, Roscoe, and Felony Lake have plans for me today. :peace:

 
You lucky guy! I know you enjoyed every minute of it!

"Didn't know you were gone" pfff who do you think we are? :rofl:

I'm glad you're well my man! Look forward to hearing more about the trip! 4500 miles!!! What an adventure!

:dreamy:

I do something like it every year Pigeons. Last year it was two weeks for the Sturgis SD rally. Next year has been in the planning mode for five years. Half a dozen of us are going to ride to Alaska. It will take the best part of a month to go round trip. :cheesygrinsmiley: I hate to admit it here but...if it came down to riding or growing...I'd be buying my cannabis again. :yikes:
 
Haha it's called priorities man and I completely understand. My father in law spends a lot of time in/at Sturgis. I'm sure you guys have crossed paths.

I don't know what part of the states you'd be driving out of to get to Alaska but you know there's a small stop on your way (my house) that we can refer to as a "pit stop" :rofl: :lot-o-toke: ;)

I'm not close to Alaska by any means but I can assure you it's beautiful territory up there. Hope it's something you have the opportunity of doing!

Good to see you again Rifle!
 
It's cool and foggy on the porch this morning. I haven't posted hardly anything and have barely been able to skim over a few of my followed journals in such a long time. Such is the life of an itchy footed two wheel addict who still has plenty of community service to complete. My apologies to any who follow the fat farting dog and me. Roscoe and I will be dropping beans in about 29 days. Aim date is 18 October. This will be an all auto flower run. I'm thinking 2 auto ultimates and 2 six shooters in the large tent, and a mixture of Mephisto beans in the 4x4. My inventory is listed in post #703 if anyone wants to offer their thoughts.

I'm off to do another 8 hours . Y'all have a good day and blow the horn if you see a litter crew today. :rofl:
 
Good to hear you are still up and about. Got a run of 5 Cream of the Crop "Crop Circle Auto" started in my 3x3 all spaced about a week apart. Also have some pollen from an Auto Mazar that I want to try on some of the CC's flowers. In addition, I will be reversing one of the CC's also. I am going to look into starting my first journal for this craziness later tonight, so wish me luck. :rofl:

Hopefully the community service goes by quickly and see ya around the porch.
 
Hemi get that journal up and running man. I had a crop circle i was going to grow but the seed was a dud and mushed up on the inside. Be nice to see what i am missing out on. Glad it was a freebie or my pain would be doubled. lol
Thats for the check in rifleman. Live life bro, we will be here.
