You know what i hate?

[golfnrl]

You know what I hate? I hate cheap @$$ monkey fans. Why can't there be a decent oscillating fan for grow tents?

[3Berries]

I just got a small rotating table. It's about 6" across. But it would make a good oscillating base to mount a fan on. Only used 2 watts and was USB or battery powered. Has several pre programmed patterns and speeds.

I was going to use it as a pot rotator but it's too under powered for my 12 lb pot.

[3Berries]

Lived in rural flatlands all my life. Last 40 years in the same location.

I hate the wind. 50 mph yesterday. Could hardly walk around.

[Puglover1]

I watched garbage and leaves blow my way. Tip: never buy a house that faces north, and is at the east end of a dead-end block. I'm 39 years here.

[Gingerbeard]

Puglover1 I haven't thought about this for years until your tip on where not to live.
I lived in a small apartment block of about 5 units with a gated entrance. Priced well and new interiors. Even had off-street parking.
The three months my roommate and I lived there we noticed a number of cars drive by with suspicious looking fellows inside. Roommate found the apartment through a friend of a friend, off-market sort of thing. He mentioned the cars to the friend. Friend said prior to us moving in, the apt. block had been taken over by a gang. Because of California's insane squatters' rights laws, it is a long and expensive process to get people removed from your rental property, even if they don't pay rent. Which they did not.
The owner finally got the folks off his property when a pizza delivery guy was shot with a shotgun and dumped in one of the apartment trash bins. Only small amounts of drugs were found but a lot of guns were. That's when the owner made it an off-market rental.

[Puglover1]

Geez, who shoots the pizza guy? It's hard to evict people here if they have kids. I remember after my parents bought and had restored a beautiful 1920s/30s home that was empty for 13 years. He rented out the house where we lived when I was born, then later sold it on contract. The guy wasn't making payments but they had kids so my dad couldn't do much about it. My dad was a bookie, illegal gambling, punch boards, tickets and bets on sports games. (His dad had worked for Capone here locally, made sure Al got his cut on cigs during Prohibition.) The deadbeat was an iron worker, made more money than my dad if he worked all year. He had a gambling and drinking habit. He gambled his money away at a tavern a block away while my dad provided a free roof for his family. My dad was fair, if a family man gambled away his paycheck dad would give him money back, so the kids got fed. Not many do that. We had a 'ghetto block' here some years ago, mostly rental houses. It took a long time to turn that around. Now our whole downtown looks like hell, empty buildings, unsafe buildings being town down. A large fire would be the best thing that could happen, sadly.

Puglover1 I delivered pizzas for the same company, Domino's, for a number of years and was robbed twice with a gun in my face. Once in the store and once on a delivery. I've been offered drugs and sex for pizza. You'd be surprised how many people answer the door in the nude. Had a CA lottery winner ask for me to deliver for him. He always tipped $50 if I did. If someone else did, they got a couple bucks. People are freaking nuts.
Drivers are supposed to leave money from their runs at the store. I had a habit of keeping all my money until the end of the night. We had bank bags to carry change and small bills. Dude who robbed me on the street got my bag with about three dollars in change. Felt nice and loaded. I wanted real bad to be in the car with the guys when they opened the bag. All the cash was in my pocket. 't warn't 'nuff for a decent crack rock. What a buzz kill, wot?
Same run I left my keys in my car with the engine running. Went back to call the store for my spare. After that was when I got robbed. It was in my drinking days so I was loaded with a mixed vodka and Mt. Dew in my center console when the cops arrived, followed by my boss. Noone was the wiser about the drinking or money in my pocket, so I went back to the store, dropped off my money, and finished the night.

[Puglover1]

A three dollar robbery. In the day, during winter, we used to play cards, games, drink, smoke weed & cigs, myself and unemployed construction worker guy friends, at my house. Pizza delivery man used to bring us beer, cigs, whatever we needed, plus the food. Just have to treat them right. Speaking of pizza, I was really hangry Tuesday night, I don't usually have much appetite. My credit card was charged, texts kept giving delivery update times with icons, then it went grey. I never received a delivery. Thursday night I ordered from a family-owned pizza joint, there's still some left. But I was very hungry Tuesday, they finally texted at 11 pm about the order being cancelled. Yeah, when it hit the two-hours old mark I called, told them I didn't want That one. I used to keep a McD's cup of Coke in my console, in case I needed to dissolve or disguise something. We had more fun in our 20's without getting arrested than anyone could get away with now. Nobody got hurt, I was never riding with someone who got a DUI and I never got one. One school holiday I was with two teacher gal friends, we went to our favorite state park, had a Miller pony pack with us. I cracked a bottle while the driver was still parking, a ranger saw it, the teachers were freaking out worried their names would be in the newspaper. We got a park offense, cheap and never published. One night at 3 a.m. I parked behind my apt and fell asleep with the car running. The chief of police knocked on the car window, told me to go inside to sleep. I was hammered, we shared a birthday. One night my cousin Larry, who always had a Fris w/weed & papers under his car seat, stopped to catch one after the bars closed, he was having trouble parking, he always drove a mopar boat car. Then I saw more headlights in the alley, listened to the cop: What's this, Lawrence? That's nothin'. Cop: You know you bumped that car while trying to park. Oh, that's Bob upstairs car, he doesn't care. The cop just drove away. The good ole days.

I've had good luck with hurricane.

[Going2fast]

You know what I hate..,............................. Fungus gnats. Enough said.

[Puglover1]

Speaking in past tense for now, I hated when leaves and hair got stuck to the yellow pads, along with the gnats. Good luck.

[Gingerbeard]

Getting too close to the back of the fan and forgetting I have a longish beard or forgetting to pull my hair back. I have nightmares about being scalped and shaved.

[Puglover1]

I always had my hair tied up when reducing a QWET. Didn't want to be running around with my hair on fire.

[Gingerbeard]

You mean you don't want to Michael Jackson or Richard Pryor? I understand completely.

[Puglover1]

I forgot about Richard Pryor. I remember him doing a show after that happened and talking about it, it was pretty funny. Most of my hair fell out and off after getting sick, not too worried about it now. I'd shave my head and buy a wig but summer is coming, wigs are hot to wear, I've heard.

[Going2fast]

You know what I hate.......,..........,..............waiting for a plant to flower.....for 14 years. Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I mean it's purple and everything. But still no buds. I think I got a bad seed.

[Rwise]

Going2fast, thats one of those new non binary plants, it never flowers.

[Gingerbeard]

Buuut... you know that's a Japanese maple, yes?

[Rwise]

LOL, yes I know.

[Gingerbeard]

Per Post 137.1 Going2fast I'll just lay down with a google found, edited-for-forum definition of hot-rail. Real harsh, to me.

Hot rail. A [wax] hot rail is the method of using a glass tube to [use wax..] The glass stem is heated until the tip is red hot, placed over a small pile [of wax,] and the vapor is inhaled through the [mouth.] [A real man can do it through the nose.]

[Going2fast]

When did getting high get soo complicated. Not that I'm curious because I am. But...........

[3Berries]

I got a new phone and you can do a three finger press for a screen shot. But my fingers are too fat to fit on the three spots on the setup screen without touching.

[Puglover1]

Flip phone? j/k

[3Berries]

The older model of it had a smaller screen and I could set it up. I wonder if it's because I have the display enlarged for my tired eyes? Can't tell now as I've already had to send it in for warranty service camera wise. Motorola another good name ruined, and IBM all by the same company.....

[Gingerbeard]

Plants are flowering as they should. And smelling as they are flowering.
I'm going to have to keep my dank stank bank zipped up with the carbon filter and light on during the day because of those who do not accept marijuana legalization laws and think growing marijuana plants in your house is going to bring a plague of insects and sporified growths and suck up gallons of imported water and extra coal fired electricity that will cause extinction of several albino cave fish that are going to die, anyway, because the influx of post-Covid tourists and lack of available restrooms means people are starting to pee in their cave water. Don't get me started on the mind-bending contact high people get from smelling the flowers.
Goddamn outsiders and their f'kn morals! I'm going to fly my 'm'ric'n flag upside down.

[Gingerbeard]

And we get skunks. I've never heard a single complaint about them.

[Ckbrew]

Just keep the skunk interested by feeding it, then scare it so it sprays. That will cover up the dank, no one will know...

[Going2fast]

Dank stank bank and albino cave fish carry their own.

[Going2fast]

You know what I hate...USPS.

[Gingerbeard]

It's a love/hate relationship. USPS loves you will give them your money, no matter how deep your hate hole.

[Gingerbeard]

Going2fast DSB was original in my brain. But someone else already has it on that forking google thing. Albino cave fish are real fish. Not original in my brain. It's all about timing and dropping unexpected, often puerile ridiculousnesses.
You really should try googling half of what I say. It's how I understood your braaap-zai.

[Gingerbeard]

Our mayor, whom I had a passing favor for (I didn't hate him), has just signed some paper thing saying it is permanently OK for TJ to dump 4 times the amount of 'primary treated' sewage into the ocean off the beach that already has a permanent closure or warning of impending doom, and miles north. Maybe it's easier to let them do it than keep suing them for.
What does 400% equate to? I don't get the math but the 25 million gallons per day that were okay to spew can now be increased to 120mgd. However, my informative article also notes that 1.09 billion gallons have spewed in the last ten days.
To learn more, visit your local library or follow this link. First, scroll the map south a bit until you see all the red dots. I consider that my beach since I live in a beach community and it would be misleading for me to claim, say, Bonsai Beach. Then check out the Closures link to the left. It's a hoot.
My current million dollar invention is to run glass-bottomed boats up and down the coast. Fill up with tourists and go check out our endemic TJ brown turdles in their native habitat. Encourage people not to jump in the water and try to swim with them or poke their shells from the boat. Wouldn't want to get no turdle in my glass-bottomed boats. Maybe get lucky and see some small bore needle fish. But they're more bottom dwellers.

[Going2fast]

Ahh Cali........

[Going2fast]

God help everyone living in Los Angeles county.

[Gingerbeard]

Been there. Got the rashes. Took a shower.
