Ugh...hangar duty.
Wife is taking the kid to SFO for the day. Fingers crossed on that one. If they get stuck out there, they're liable to be out there all week.

Its Wednesday, Hopefully I will hear from the psych department today and get the last few ends tied up so I can get started at the new job. Obama care has just flat out ruined our health care here and for the wife, and we really need to be sure we have coverage that does not end up costing a third of our income. Need to have the new benefits rolling asap.
Well the abs in the rig works in the rain. Just came to a hard stop two feet from two deer on a pitch black side road.
Attended the Denver premier of "Won't Back Down" with Nick and won some sweet DH armor in the raffle. Work, bike park, work, dinner with GF's Ma on tap to round out the day.
Looks like this weekend's plans include drinking, a ride and the driving range. Most pleased.
Sometimes I like to play "Follow daddy" in the house with my dog. I'll just walk circles around the upstairs of the house, while the entire time the dog walks right behind me at my heels. When I stop, she stops, then I start walking again and she continues to follow. It's a fun game. I try to explain to the dog that I am not going anywhere.
Up here the deer hit the trucks, we have one in the body shop right now getting a right rear quarter panel replaced. Big Mulee ran into it full force with the truck at a complete stop at a stop sign.
once again middle class gets focked , but that's a whole another topic .morning , I had a house inspection yesterday and 23 days I'm out of my place

Morning Monkeys.
Online training is underway, and I am already bored 40 min in. Yay. Get off early to drag the boat to the shop and brace for shock.
On a lighter note, I was able to price out new flooring and it looks like I could do it for under $300. Hydroturf floor with new seat boxes and recarpet the new seat boxes. If I can find a shop to redo the seat covers, I'll be set and it will be a brand new boat. The seats aren't too bad, but the wood is rotten (its an '87) and could use all new seat hardware. I'd like to clean up the wires a bit more, too.
If only that bitch ran...

3/4 plywood, fiberglass resin, elbow grease... drop that floor to less than a benji. and before you do anything with repair on the seats, go on walmrt.com and ebay and see what you can get a whole new seat forMorning Monkeys.

I have to, it's my nature. The reality of the situation is the boat itself is perfect on paper. Size, seating arrangement, purpose. I could get a newer boat for about $7k, but nothing has the power, seating, setup like this one. Worst case I can do the good used motor installed for $4200 with a 1 year warranty. I'm now into it for what something newer would cost with the power and seating I want. So if Bob can get this bitch running for less than half of that and I can get a year out of it, I'll still be happy.
But it has such good lines and with a little work would look so awesome. There is a local guy that put a new motor on his dad's older Checkmate. I blame him.
2.5 hour delay. Wife just called and said she and the woman chiled decided fvck it and are going home. They'll find something to do I'm sure and hopefully wont cost me as much.
no, the first rule of boat ownership: don't.
Dude, are you my brother? He was sitting in his office yesterday talking about building a climbing wall, brewing beers, and eating taco's. The hop planting though, is always being discussed. Everything is starting to grow here!
As for me, I am making coffee cake with the wifey and not looking forward to chasing wires in the attic. I have to get the damn mud room re-wired this week.
my bouldering wall is underway. i'm starting 3 hops this year: centennial, cascade, & chinook.
i am in progress while your brother is still talking. he sounds like a slacker. your father was a slacker too McFly.
I looked at a set of seats out of a wrecked boat, but I like the ones in there now. 2x8 for the boxes, 3/4 ply for the base, new hardware, 2 yards of new carpet, and Hydroturf on all deck surfaces.
The tops are baked, but the rest is in good shape.
The benches look great.
The seats in the open bow are perfect. I hate the carpet and can redo everything in a darker gray and still goes with the interior.
Just got the call, rest of the psych evaluation is tonight
...nice variety choices. Lets see some inspirational pics of said bouldering wall. I've got the taco's covered.
thanks. i'm not expecting much in the way of a harvest this first year.
i'll take some pics of the wall after i'm done working tonight. still at the framing stages. i'm doing phase A now, and phase B is going to be a much more challenging overhang wall. my basement is only a little over 7' tall so i'm doing more overhang stuff to add to the challenge. phase A is a vertical wall which will get some mini features, and than perpendicular to it is gonna be a slight overhang wall. eventually i'll get some roof jugs and add some ceiling sections
Sounds like a pretty decent weekend. i tried growing some hops, but didnt have any luck. Then again I didn't do much research to what grew well in my area/soil.
new england is hard to grow hops because it's such a low hardiness zone; hops do better in higher zones (in general that is). plus they need a lot of precipitation.
Good afternoon. The long wait continues.
Hops like sunshine, dry heat, irrigation. In wetter climates mildew and other issues like mites can hurt yields. Generally knock off the first vines that come out, the later vines have more vigor. Expect 1/2 yield first year, full yield every year after. Pull out any vines that have nuts or you'll have a seeded crop.
I do not think so. The most famous hops regions in Germany and Czech Republic have mild climate and very fertile soil. Same in the US, hops is only farmed in regions with the most fertile soil. New England has horrible soil for farming and the climate up in NH may be too hardy for hops.

i was referring to the zone designations from the department of agriculture.
yo.
gotta get a ct scan on my sinuses. yay.
fkn allergies are killing me in this desert. oh well, small price to pay for being able to wear shorts & flip flops in January, i guess. :roll eyes:
Climbing in Red Rock all weekend. stoked about that.

lol....i do laps in our kitchen with Jack in tow...I like to see how long it takes him to figure out he can reverse directions & 'get me'.
Pine is what kills me the most. There are some ragweed species here too. I think bursage is related to ragweed. Oleander too & a bunch of **** they plant to make it NOT look the desert. 
Oh, I see. I can always blame my poor English.
I got some fond memories of summer jobs on hops plantations in my old country long time ago. 
no sweat man.Oh, I see. I can always blame my poor English.
the chart i was mentioning basically defines the growing seasons by a number of factors, mainly based on how late the last frost is in the spring and how soon the first frost is in the fall, hours of daylight, peak temperatures, etc.
here we go:
wall is gonna continue to just to the right of where the stool is. the short section next to the sliding door is gonna be overhang. i'm probably gonna put a ceiling section over the window. the big section of wall will be vertical and probably get some minor features
Nice, that should help you get through winter!
