At least you have Good medicine. Hope your feeling better soon.

 

[InTheShed]

Oof! I hope the damage isn't worse in the morning. Feel better.

 

[Derbybud]

Hope you feel better this morning Van after your humpty dumpty episode. Keep appling the typical for relief and a bowl or 2 of some of your magic pain meds.

Ouch dude! I hope you're feeling better today. It's a good excuse to stay medicated.
The Tangie Ghost Train is looking stellar, she obviously agrees with your basement conditions. Nice job.
I helped a buddy put up a 10x10 and we laid the shell out 1st then got inside and lifted with the poles. There was 3 of us doing it so it went better than I expected.

Good job on the tent, looks amazing.... #jealous. Hope you feel better... get that trip hazard flagged.

 

[Guy Cavallero]

Reading a bit to catch up Van. I just wanted to say "Thanks" for the kick in the ass!

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Nothing like a good construction accident to get ya going

Hope yer ok bud

 

[weenmeoff]

Ouch, sorry to hear about your fall and hope all the pain is gone today! Tent is looking good, can't wait to see it filled.

 

[StoneOtter]

That's a sweet new tent! Can't wait to see it full of fat colas and you in a hammock swinging. Feel better Van.

 

[Van Stank]

Thanks for the kind words. Was a bit worried when we went to bed. Ms Stank had to help me get undressed and when she did the knee wasn't looking too good. Seems it decided to swell up after I took the ice pack off. But when I woke up, I got up to go to the restroom and I was able to walk on it pretty well and the swelling went down a lot.

Elbow is still tender. Not sure how I came down on it....but its still my biggest long term issue. If I am injured, its the elbow and not the knee. The knee just hurts a bit, don't think its anything than bruising. And it was a crush to the old ego lol. I am just thankful it wasn't worse. Its definitely going to impact my ability to get the tent set up alone. I probably need to wait for Ms Stank to get home to help me.

Elbows injury are the worst.... get well bud

It wouldn't have been difficult to put the tent up if we had more room. I had 1 inch behind the tent to the wall and 1 inch in front of the tent from the two poles and beem that won't let you move it forward. And then we had about an inch and a half of room above the tent and the basement ceiling.

So it was a case of move something 6 inches and have Ms Stank hold it while I went to and opposite corner and pulled that side the same distance before repeating over and over. Pulling the sides around was the worse because of how the tent unzipped and came apart. If I was putting it together outside, It would have been a breeze.....but in the confinement of that basement, it was a bitch. I haven't had that type of work out in a while, I was sweating my ass off in my 60 degree basement.

Hoping that elbow heals up quickly for you Van!

 

[TheGreenYeti]

I am glad you got the tent up. Sorry to hear you took a digger and banged yourself up a bit.

 

[VexGrows]

Man, sorry to hear you got hurt. I wish I was still there to help.

That tent looks huuuge!! Amazing job you and Ms Stank have done building that 10.7x10.7 beast. Kudos!

 

[Van Stank]

Thanks guys. It is huge. Just finished shoveling the back deck and a path out to the shed to get the chain saw. Gotta cut some more wood and bring it down into the basement. Gotta say that working (while medicated) is helping to keep these things loose. Still need to do some more shoveling out front but I wanted to ice the elbow down a bit....seems shoveling isn't the easiest activity to do. Good thing I practice at everything with both hands! (shut up perverts.....except Ms Stank).

 

[InTheShed]

If you can shovel with it at all that's a great sign. Don't bother with the ice, just lean in the snow!

shut up perverts.....except Ms Stank

Now we wait...

 

[Van Stank]

I can only shovel with it if I hold the handle with the right hand (injured elbow) and use the left to lift and rotate. I can't do it at all the other way....tried one scoop and that was all it took to know it wasn't going to work that way. Luckily the other way is tolerable (3-4 out of 10 on pain). Its about time to smoke again though. Gotta take advantage of the warmth before the sun goes down! Its a balmy 10 degrees out! Get this wood cut up and I can start on the electrical layout in the tent.

I am thinking about putting together something to do some time lapse stuff in the flower tent. Does anyone out there know what I should get for doing that? I have an old cell phone I can probably put on a tripod and run a USB cable to keep it charged all the time. I just don't know anything about software or programs needed. I would really like to capture the Stankberry plants I am getting ready to flip as soon as I can. Cheers in advance for anyone with any 411 on this stuff, thank you!!
