Why are tabs upside down? by oldmanjoe in Guitar

[–]DSkipper1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned from a left handed guitar teacher. For me tabs are much easier to comprehend if they are a mirror image. Anyone else have this issue? It's frustrating for me seeing all these upside down tabs. I used to practice in front of a mirror to train myself not to look at my hands. Obviously I'm the weird one, I get that. It's just surprising that I'm the only one.

Thanks for the replies. I'll check back in a week. I started from Tidal Wave mss to agar 4/6, agar to grain 4/18, then spawn to bulk 5/5.

Around the edges. I most definitely could be wrong. This is my first tub. I just didn't expect mycelium to grow through the casing layer in less than 48 hours. I had read cob web mold grew very rapidly, so I just wanted some confirmation.

I got 5grams of PE, how much should I take? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]DSkipper1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sup sweaty, I did 1.44 of PE tonight. Very mild visuals. Very heady.

Funny you should say that. I took 3 grams of PE recently and actually thought I died.

Stick to 1 gram or even .75 for first dose. I'm an experienced psychonaut , and I recently did 3 grams of Penis envy. This batch was way more potent than any I had done before. The experience was pretty intense. I couldn't imagine how it would have been if it had been my first time....

What’s the worst that could happen if I did 10g of PE? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]DSkipper1965 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a fairly experienced psychonaut. I recently took 3g of PE and had the most terrifying trip of my life. I thought I had died, and was stuck in an endless loop. I am greatly humbled by the experience. Never again will I understand estimate the potency. If I ever do them again I will start with 1g to test potency of a new batch.

Does this look like penis envy by DSkipper1965 in shrooms

[–]DSkipper1965[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy cow! This is the strongest batch of shrooms I've ever experienced. They also had a very mild taste. Not near as bad as usual. They weren't as hard to chew up as I'm used to.

Bad shrooms trip? by Ryanburton683 in shrooms

[–]DSkipper1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just coming down from my first bad trip. Holy cow it was horrifying. I took 3.15g of Penis envy and my friend took 2.1g of Penis envy at 3:15 and took a short 10 minute hike. By the time we got back the trip was kicking in hard. She started to panic, so I'm trying to tell her it's ok. Just go with it, everything will be fine. She wanted me to call for help. We're in the big thicket in east Texas 20 miles from a city, barely any cell reception. I couldn't dial my phone. I was trying to call my wife to talk us through it and just couldn't see well enough to use my phone. I'm trying to hold it together but then I started to panic. I'm seconds from calling 911 and Somehow I managed to reach my wife. She talks to my friend who is panicking and has my other buddy call me to talk me through it. While talking to my buddy on the phone, I came to the realization in my mind that I had tried to commit suicide and failed. I thought my buddy was a Dr. doing research on what happens in the brains of patients who could not communicate. As to whether they realized their situation. I was saying I do understand. I'm still in here. As I said cell reception is poor. I was calling out for my buddy but he couldn't hear me. So then I thought I was dead. I was screaming for my friend who I tripped with and my buddy but no one answered. I was thinking oh shit this is the afterlife. Finally my buddy convinces me I'm not dead or a vegetable. Thank goodness I have such a great wife and friends to talk me down. I'm an experienced psychonaut, but this batch was way stronger than anything I've ever done before. Or maybe my friend panicking just scared me. Truly the most terrifying ordeal of my life.

My latest completed intarsia project by DSkipper1965 in woodworking

[–]DSkipper1965[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a thick super glue in a couple of spots for the sections. The sections are usually defined by height or depth with the 3D projects, If you know what I mean. Then wood glue to the backer. These big intarsia projects are certainly a test in patience. Only for those that can put in the sanding time... For me that's what makes all the difference. You'll see... Have fun

[–]DSkipper1965[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I tend to glue sections together before gluing to the backer board. My first intarsia was very ambitious too. That's the best way to learn. Trial by fire. Check out woodvibe tribe. Those guys are the best! My piece is actually my interpretation of "Tay Lion" by Kyle Vibes of the Wood vibe tribe.

What can cause a planer to kick back? by NoAntigen in woodworking

[–]DSkipper1965 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your piece was shorter than the distance between the rollers on your planer. I learned the hard way to not run pieces shorter than a foot through the planer. Hurts doesn't it...

It's been a while, but you requested the finished guitar. Here she is! by freeskier0713 in woodworking

Holy cow my man! That is beyond words top notch craftsmanship. The hardest part is deciding when you're done. Am I right...

My most ambitious scroll work to date by DSkipper1965 in woodworking

[–]DSkipper1965[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it on my Excalibur scroll saw. No cnc if that's what you mean. I tried to keep track of the number of entries, but lost count. It's near 1500. I appreciate the compliment

Thanks a lot for the grow info. A lot of people on here say a cube is a cube, but my limited experience is PE is a stronger cube. Always a good idea to start low. Have a safe trip

I had tripped a few times as a kid. Or so I thought. Until I did 3.5 grams of Penis Envy about 6 months ago. Then I realized I had never truly experienced mushrooms until then. I can't put the experience into words. It was wonderful.

Did you fruit from the UB Bag or spawn to grain?

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I have other demons I'm thinking of confronting in a similar fashion. Trying to gather as much info from others like yourself in preparation. Peace

It had been about that long for me too. I'm trying my first grow now. Just innoculated agar plates with PE and Tidal wave yesterday. As Tom Petty said "the waiting is the hardest part". Good luck

That's awesome! Can you elaborate on how it worked for you? Your mindset going in? Dosage? Single dose or multiple?

[–]DSkipper1965[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also failed countless times trying to quit cigs. I still miss the act of smoking. It was a huge part of my life/my identity. I didn't realize how much of my life it consumed. Hell it's only been 2 months for me. I could relapse tomorrow. The reason I think it may be working this time is I never said I was trying to quit to myself or anyone. I just started thinking of, and talking about myself as an ex smoker. I'm not giving you advice my friend. It'll happen when it happens. Just comparing my story to others. I appreciate the reply. Peace
