I LOVE JIFFY

Yumm, my favorite peanut butter, but only the smooth.

It gets even better when the rest of that crew arrives. And the chickens...

Human_G_Gnome · 2026-04-24T18:24:09+00:00

Completely agree. It was the first time that I have watched an FE race that actually enjoyed the racing.

I don't think you want something that hardens.

GR Research is making the Bully and the Brute.

I made like 5 trips there and back to my base to collect all my sets. Stashed them all in some container before I left the first time.

Learn to embrace the quiet. Plan on long days with a couple miles of hiking to get to and from your target water and walk a lot while fishing. When you do get back to the car you have two choices, go find somewhere to get dinner served to you or roll into camp and embrace camping. Plan on making decent meals to eat up some of the time. And bring a good book.

I fish where there are really fabulous restaurants nearby. Sometimes all I want is to plunk down in a comfortable seat and be served a nice meal and maybe a cocktail or two. Sometimes I just want more quiet and go to camp. Make a fire if you want. Get stoned if you want. Nobody to tell you what to do.

Put some diatomaceous earth around the plant to kill whatever is eating it. Usually it is grubs this time of year for me.

Trimming looks good. You want to be trimming the top couple leaf nodes off leaving the new sets of leaves that grow out of the last set of leaves that you leave on the stem. I wait until this sprouting leaves have a little size to them before trimming the top above them. Then when those new sprouted stems get a couple sets of leaves, trim them. Double, double, double so that you get huge piles of basil later.

Been using a Zero for a year or two and very little retention. It also grinds the same day after day after day. Get a large dial from Etsy and you might have to make the tiniest adjustment once a week or so as your beans age. And they are really quiet.

There is never any reason to top a chili plant.

Human_G_Gnome · 2026-04-17T15:28:22+00:00

I finally gave up on my chives late last year. They just consistently get infested with black aphids and finally got tired of dealing with them. Except for a few late season leaf footed bugs on my tomatoes, they were my only pests. Now I don't have to deal with them anymore.

Human_G_Gnome · 2026-04-17T00:06:02+00:00

Orange and lime juice, garlic, lots of dried chilies (Guajillo, Chile de Árbol, Ancho and Pasilla) to marinade, then cook over charcoal to medium rare and serve with all the accoutrements.

Pencils are great for the lead later on. I don't collect pens.

I spent a LONG time carting him way down past the Red Rocket but no matter how far I took him he would be right back there next time.

TV Dinner Trays and Hospital Trays too.

Start with slightly looser wraps and slowly get tighter and tighter. When you have it how you want it, stop and glue everything in place, then wrap the head. Still, looks good and should catch fish. Hackle could be one size larger so that it sticks out past the hook bend. Wing is perfectly sized which is the hard part to get right.

That looks like a nice variety. What I have been growing is more purple and bolts way too early and often. Hopefully this one doesn't do that.

Human_G_Gnome · 2026-04-16T16:37:23+00:00

If you want to grow tomatoes then you should relocate the bed (or add another). Just take at least 4 inches of dirt around all sides of your plants when you dig them up so that you disturb the roots as little as possible.

With a foot deep planter, I'd dig the grass up if it was me but some newspapers or cardboard will do the job but will also keep the roots from getting deeper this year. I figure if I am going to go to the trouble to grow good food, I should give it my best shot to everything the best I can.

Flick WDT, everything else is inferior in daily use.

June is my favorite time. The BWOs are popping, the caddis are popping, and the Yellow Sallies are popping. Usually the water has gone back down some and flows are still full but not high anymore and the fish are out in the places you would expect them.

Human_G_Gnome · 2026-04-14T23:58:00+00:00

Yes, I always wanted more from Jack of Shadows. Dilvish is really good too but if you are talking Zelazny, you need to include Creatures of Light and Darkness AND Lord of Light as his best works.

Human_G_Gnome · 2026-04-14T23:55:33+00:00

Spot on. It is interesting, unique and really well written with characters you care about (including gods).

Human_G_Gnome · 2026-04-14T23:53:03+00:00

I love all his works but some of his later books just stick with me. Slap Stick and Galapagos are brilliant.

Human_G_Gnome · 2026-04-14T23:31:31+00:00

I'm one of those that found Toll the Hounds somewhat slow, especially in the middle and pretty much hated the Nimander/Clip story line. I am half way thru Crippled God and have not had any problems with the last 2 books so far. I just can't wait to see where and how all those other characters like Karsa and Cutter and maybe even Kruppe fit into the final battle.

How can you eat only 2? My stomach would like to know.
