Talk about an "odd" forecast.......:devil:
Yeah... well, the day started out with low clods and thick fog (visibility about 50-70 yards) and drizzle. That cleared off to mostly cloudy after noon and I went out to unload all the feed and pine shavings into the hay room, then come in to stuff herb capsules. Along about sunset, Lannie said she could hear distant thunder (not me, I'm deaf as a post) then when it got dark, I could see the lightning over Rapid City -- waaaaaaayyyyy SW of us). I doubt those frontal storms will come up here tonight.

Wonder how ole @Jimi is doing....haven't heard from him in a few days.
I was wondering the same thing last night. I hope he is OK.
Yep, and your lil 30W Istick(s).......:)
I have not finished reading the kratom site articles, but since this will be a substitute for my hydrocodone, I assume I have to get off that to start the herb. Is that your take also?

You don't have to stop taking anything, but hopefully you won't need the latter.

Last I heard Jimi had a chest cold or something similar he was having a hard time shaking.

Given that both act on the same receptors, failure to back off one might be seen as an overdose... (?) Or will I just be more pain-free while doing both and then I can back off the hydrocodone?

I just stopped taking the opiods, didn't need them any longer, feel MUCH better with no pain whatsoever.

Hell, I was taking almost 160 mgs of oxycontin a day....when my first shipment of kratom arrived I never took another pill....had absolutely zero withdrawals too....

Quite an amazing natural botanical

I hope it works that well for me ... and Lannie too.

Well, I was wrong about the thunderstorms not making it up here tonight. It's raining like a sumbits out there right now, so I just rain upstairs and placed all the drip buckets out so the floor isn't a puddle in the morning.

And now I have to put my ancient body in bed. The last couple days have been pretty stressful on this old bod, even with back brace, knee braces, wrist brace... still hurts enough that I didn't get much sleep last night, so I need to turn in a little sooner tonight. Hasta la bye bye for now.

Evening My Old Phart Friends, sorry I haven't been around, experiencing some medical problems, Lung scan kinda went south, I have some industrial disease from the type work I did in my life , had it for some time but it's severely inflamed and showing new tissue damage, but on the good side it hasn't turned to cancer yet, they were surprised. I am supposed to quit vaping:eek::rolleyes:,yeah, right, like that's gonna happen:gaah: So I am cutting back and found an old Aero Pro tank and luckily I found some old used coils that I can rebuild, and they are dual coil., so I am joining Rich in toddle puff ville:giggle::giggle:.

They also saw a unusual high amount of plaque in my heart, now what's up with that:eek:? I don't eat meat, dairy, use only cold press EVO and coconut oil:rolleyes::facepalm: . Just fucking weird:confused:.
My diet is all veggies and veggie juice
So I haven't felt like doing to much lately, still have a chest full of phlegm but making headway there:rolleyes:
just wanted to let everyone know:)

Phillip ain't quitting vaping either. I found him a new primary care doctor. He ran an EKG, and then told Phillip he has valves on his heart that open prematurely. Even the specialist he saw would never tell him that. So... We have the ball rolling again on fixing his ticker.

Decided to skip a garden this year, gonna just toss a few matter plants in 5-gallon pails and call it good....:)

Was too cold, now it's hot....the shit wouldn't have a chance in this belated spring weather.

belated spring weather
Speaking of spring weather, here's a site I use to try to figure out what's going on. It is now called Weather Underground but used to be Intellicast, and the following is something you can find down at the bottom of the page:

wx.JPG

Note Tuesday on the top line implies 1-3" of snow, but when you go down to the bar graph portion, the precip is blue, which is rain (purple is snow), which is called for the first half of Wednesday - winter weather is obviously not done yet.

Two days ago, the forecast said we would only get rain, then yesterday they said we would get a foot of snow, and today it is only one inch. Who the hell knows what will really happen...
True....guess you'll have a good idea by tomorrow evening.
