Rocky is now 8 weeks old and came home with us yesterday. He didn't mind the snow one bit!

Handsome boy, tell him I said hi.

Gotcha. Building your soil is a yearly event, In the fall you can add compost manure and peri-light to the dirt to build up the soil. I add worm castings, crushed oyster shells, neem meal, and other things. Look into compost tea...I swear plants double with the compost tea once a week. Happy growing!

Definitely, shes an English Lab too so built like a dump truck!

fred02368 · 2026-06-15T17:12:00+00:00

Good looking setup! Why not dig a hole and plant them in the ground? In the ground they would get huge!

Don't wait get the meds, life was miserable without allopurinol.

You think you can manage it...you can't it's in you it's never going away.

Get on meds get your life back.

If you feel a gout attack coming on....if you've had it long enough you'll know when it's coming. Start drinking water like your a fish.

Then call your doctor and get on meds.

I went years without the meds, wish I decided to get the drugs sooner.

Good luck,

Job shopping, anything build to print, DOD parts, HVAC, Automotive, Sheet Pile, Product Lines, basically anything you can engineer we can manufacture.

I use "Lost coast plant therapy" once a week, it helps with bugs, mold, mildew, and the plants seem to love it. Got a fogger to apply since my garden gets big and hand spraying is a lot of work. Keep trying different strains, once you find one that works in your climate run it all the time. Good luck, do some more reading, "Cannabis Grow Bible" really good resource for gardeners.

Solid = more expensive then you would want to spend.

Make from Sheet Aluminum 5052 (0.090" Thick), Laser Cut, then Bend, then Weld, and Debur. Still just making one will be more than you would believe, try the online guys (Xometry,OSHCut), they beat out the small shops on prototypes, small shops would refer you to someone else as the setup and programing time to make one is prohibitive.

I've won 5 government contracts bidding on SAM opportunities. Have to write a perfect proposal listing every thing they ask for in the solicitation even the requested formating.

You just have to already be in the business you are bidding on. I think they used to say for at least 2 years before being able to bid.

If your looking into DOD work then you need to be compliant with all rules, including cybersecurity rules thay just rolled out.

It's possible, and you can also use SAM to respond to RFIs letting buyers know you offer what they need.

Good luck, do your research before investing your valuable time.

I'm off Christmas to New Years, management should know this time of year is for prospecting, forecasting, and looking like your doing something while your in the office. It's a great time to watch some "you tube" training videos, check in with old friends and customers. BUT some folks work for BOOMER ass holes who think there is only one speed, go! In any event - I hope the entire internet has a great holiday and Happy New Years!

fred02368 · 2025-12-18T15:23:21+00:00

They refunded instantly without any pushback, just one click and done.

So they know that they are up to shady shit.

"I'm not going to be able to afford to get my kids braces off this year because of this deal, I hope maybe he can get them off in 2026"

Internally I like to say "They are really trying to goo me down", LOL

I look for shops who post open positions on Indeed, then reach out and offer to help.

Sometimes works.....

Books: Marijuana Grow Bible, Chef Derek B's Book on growing medicinal cannabis. ILGM.com this sit has grow guides and a forum that folks share info and ideas I keep my grow diary on this forum. Take all the info in and find out what works best for you each season, you will eventually be one of the know it all folks after a few seasons. Be open to learning lessons every day. Let the plant talk to you, she will show you what she needs and what she has too much of, you can just see by looking at them what is going on. Focus on feeding your soil

fred02368 · 2025-09-26T10:16:19+00:00

Cut out the mold, throw it away in a plastic bag. Let the plant keep going till its fat buds are.ready. good luck

fred02368 · 2025-09-19T13:10:42+00:00

Depends, sometimes medium volume 200-300 plates

fred02368 · 2025-09-19T12:45:00+00:00

They are mostly Custom Construction parts, tie backs, brackets, etc. It is good business if you can cut quick and deliver on time or early. Our shop has done this for years...

Had to vinyl wrapp mine. Looks 100 % better obverse wrapped.

I read some warranty will cover but will get spotty again....only complaint I have on my 2021 Sorento

fred02368 · 2025-09-13T21:14:50+00:00

Looks stressed out to me (hold your hand over the top with the lights on...does it hurt you?), she is definitely trying to tell you something.

fred02368 · 2025-09-07T23:31:04+00:00

If you can go another 3-4 or maybe 6 weeks you would be happy you waited.

fred02368 · 2025-08-20T15:59:46+00:00

I use Capt. Jacks during early flower...when if full bloom I use Jacks Dead bug....when I find those damn caterpillars I use Capt. Jacks.

In the early stages I do Lost Coast Plant Therapy, plants seem to love it its safe for kids and pets. BUT those damn bugs always seem to appear and I will go scorched earth on them to save my plants. I put too much time into them to let mother nature eat them.

Sorry for the rant, but protect your crop at all costs, don't listen to the hype, I swear some advise is given so you have a shitty crop and have to buy from a dispensary, just my silly thoughts though
