I find myself pondering the future a bit this morning.
Thinking of mixing and matching some ideas from around the threads into one really lazy grow.
Osmo+ of course... thus no nutes.
Hempy.... well... of course.
2L... just works well in my world
Auto water system with runoff collection.... think "Hexapus"
OsmoHempySodaPus!
Hexapus- where steampunk meets practical science
Did I ever tell you that when I sold a house in California and bought a house in Arizona, I needed to spend $25K more on the mortgage or get killed by taxes. I used some of the money to get custom plantation shutters but most of it went to a low maintenance swimming pool.
To clean the pool water, there were little sprinkler heads that popped up and sprayed jets of water underwater along the shell of the pool. A connection to the water supply automatically refilled the water level. To cool the water temperature, I dialed more water into the waterfall. To inclease chlorine, I dialed more voltage through the automatic chlorine generator. My total maintenance schedule was every 2 weeks, clean the leaf basket and backwash (run water backwards) through the filter and into an underground sump. Three times a year, check the chlorine level and adjust the dial. Once a year (in spring), take a water to the pool store and get the salinity tested. Per the results, I would dump two to four 50 lb bags of salt into the pool.
When it was a freshwater pool I had to fiddle with PH, add salt to the chlorine generator, change the electrodes once every 12-18 months and tweak the voltage every 2 weeks. After converting to a salt water pool, that silliness went away and I only tested the and tweaked chlorine levels when the seasons changed.
I like automated systems that are set and forget. Like humidifiers, dehumidifiers, heaters, coolers, and Hexapi.
Oh!
It's that time of year again. If you have a Jazzfest visit in your plans, drop me a line. I'm a block away from the front gate and can save you a parking spot you can stumble back to after a full day of frolicking.
Of course, you'll have to spend some time with me and the pup sucking down a bowl or two from my garden... but we all have our burdens to bare in this life after all.
Hmmm.... it might cost you some Crawfish bread from the fest too. Hell, we're NOLA baby... we even have good food at fest booths!
Our big jazz festival isn't until late summer, but there are abut 20 smaller music festivals between now and then. Earth day morning we had racers in neon colors in front of the house (coming and going.) We also had our first 'block off the streets' music festival (6 blocks away) the weekend before Easter.
Our festival food is good (same reason as NOLA, our regular food is good.) Our festival beer is good to. I think we had 6 beer tasting festivals last year
I'm seriously considering starting a tourist trolley business where I drive folks around and talk about where the gangsters lived, where they got shot, where whorehouses, cabarets, and breweries used to be, where the bars, cabarets and breweries are now. I like those kinds of tours when I travel, and our city has some juicy histories
Nichole Kush x something I keep forgetting... but I think Rad knows... I'll let him form that part of my memory for the moment.
Moroccan.
Weaselcracker has the memory. Rad is the one who had several concussions as a child and changed from geeky whiz kid to teenager who didn't smoke or drink but everyone saw as a nerdy mega stoner. In one of the highlights of my high school life, a cop offered to smoke me up with his weed (cops had the best weed) if I smoked him up with some of mine. I had to confess that I had never tried the stuff. He offered to smoke me up anyway, but I politely declined
Some views of the SSDC standing alone.
The cheese stands alone. The cheese stands alone. Hi Ho the Dairy-o, the cheese stands alone.
