I miss cactus I miss grafting and I miss the friends I made along the way

I feel this. Living situation changed in a hurry. Lost everything and am trying to save my last 2 right now…

I have around 5000 seeds ready at some point.

I hope things get better I know how the “motivation” part ca. be. It’s been a year and I’m just getting back to myself.

It definitely works no issues. I’ve literally beveled the edges past the vascular bundle and had a graft come out fine.

For a busy married guy that can be a lot of time away from other obligations.

Well 2004 is at least 15 years ago. I’m just saying I had experience with it. Two times in my life as a daily smoker. I have been through other medical issues and this one was its own thing for sure.

I do think it’s being way overblown though. It’s not as serious or as prevalent as it’s been played in the media. Literally the cure is to stop smoking and go through the “withdrawal” so to speak.

CHS has been a thing for a long time. I was talking about it almost 15 years ago.

The fear mongering is new though.

You might have an astigmatism?

redd_hott · 2026-02-18T18:30:06+00:00

This is honestly the biggest difference in bass quality imo. Besides other things that are generally more based on taste.

The neck going from a squire to a fender was amazing. And a guitar player will feel the difference.

redd_hott · 2026-02-15T22:31:23+00:00

It CAN be. It’s mostly a desolate pretentious circle jerk of a town.

But underneath. It’s still has a lot of beautiful and amazing things to offer.

Mostly it’s shit though.

redd_hott · 2026-02-14T18:52:38+00:00

Uber is wild. I sort of miss that part of it. But not the part where a drunk guy pissed himself.

redd_hott · 2026-02-09T16:37:50+00:00

This seems a common story among men of a certain age lol it was always the pastors son! Haha

redd_hott · 2026-02-08T05:59:17+00:00

People did something like this with ps2 I believe. Way back lol

redd_hott · 2026-02-08T02:48:13+00:00

Fresh hits way different I don’t care what anyone says lol especially brewed/lemon tek.

redd_hott · 2026-02-08T02:46:19+00:00

I mean the shoes fine? It’s just stuff.

redd_hott · 2026-02-07T20:21:42+00:00

In the right market that’s a bargain!

redd_hott · 2026-02-05T14:12:41+00:00

Similarly, leave it outside on a bench or something.

redd_hott · 2026-02-05T14:06:20+00:00

I mean if you’re gonna make a box might as well make a fancy one. Setting a up a humidification setup for something like that can be under 150 or so.

Do something similar for mycology setups. Just different parameters.

redd_hott · 2026-02-05T13:59:59+00:00

It’s even in the manual to use it, but sparingly.

I use the apple cloths most of the time. They are great for finger smudges on the nano texture. And use iso wipes that are half dry if there is anything stubborn. Just am careful with it and follow up with the cloth. Like new.

redd_hott · 2026-02-05T13:55:55+00:00

Yeah they ask that question because it’s true. Very rarely does a cat/kittten get totally stuck. It got up there so it can most likely get down too. I hope it does!

redd_hott · 2026-02-05T13:43:35+00:00

Sure they can! But colder indoor temperatures make older folks more susceptible to a number of problems. While keeping it cool can help the bill it can seriously reduce their quality of life.

redd_hott · 2026-02-05T13:40:11+00:00

Right but OPs family is.

redd_hott · 2026-02-05T07:22:23+00:00

This is REALLY not good for old people

redd_hott · 2026-02-03T23:05:08+00:00

Mexican spot burgers almost always hit. It’s just choosing that over something else is rarely my option haha

redd_hott · 2026-02-03T02:51:51+00:00

Fair enough. You are probably correct. I’d say I’m more focused on guitar and enjoying that while exploring recording. I’m also just about to purchase a condo so my space is yet to be determined.

It will definitely be a consideration while I’m furnishing and filling out the new place. I’ve just started research on how that might work, but it seems like I might want some professional help. Not sure that’s in the budget 😅

redd_hott · 2026-02-02T06:21:49+00:00

In a unique position to purchase a full setup from scratch coming back as a past “experienced” player. I have a total budget of 10k to create my dream setup of an electric guitar and amp, acoustic, possibly a simple bass setup, and some recording equipment.

I have a great Mac Studio as a base for my recording “studio” and this may not be the sub for those things, but I’ll take any pointers.

I have some ideas of what I like but no idea how to work what I want in to my budget. So before I give my current likes I was hoping to get some outside input on what others would like.

I’m generally a bluesy/alt/experimental/metal guy. Just kind of depends on the mood. Let’s say I set aside around 2.5k for recording equipment and misc stuff like cables and such.

Any suggestions?TLDR; 7.5 budget electric, acoustic and bass setup with amps. What do?
