Friday has to wait a bit.

Hey @PinkyNotTheBrain since you’re here which of those 2 nuts do i need to put pliers on and adjust so its not so difficult to turn it to the off position! Last time i fucked with it i think i messed with both and now u gotta put a shitload of force on the knob so it totally closes!

The guy said he had to change a plastic washer on the inside but didn’t actually adjust what i messed with so its a bitch to get totally closed so no drips!

Maybe a cutaway picture can help here. The packing around the valve stem has been compressed too much making the valve difficult to turn, then the new gasket is stiff and does not conform to the orifice and will take extra pressure to make a complete seal. So maybe loosening the packing nut a tiny bit will let the valve turn easier without leaking. It has been about 50/50 in my personal experience that loosening will cause a leak. Did I tell you I hate plumbing.

Ya was pretty sure what to adjust but this verifies it! And pretty sure what i circled (if its a washer like it looks like) is what the guy changed the other day so it wouldn’t drip when it was turned off!

Outdoor is something prtty special as well! I think it comes down to how much time you spend with the plants. Indoors gives people alot more privacy to just stand and admire in most cases i believe. I try to spend rqual time with my indoor and outdoor but its not always possible. Do you grow outdoors as well?

I used to for many years when I lived where we had climate for it. But its been a while. I came to think about this now over Xmas when I was in Portugal and smoked outdo, haven't had it in years until now. You are probably right, I wasn't looking for a scientific answer really, more of a thought flying by, that's all.

You know what @Mossy maybe I'll pack my and go be "neighbors" with you. I'm having serious thoughts. Im older every day, my kids are grown up, why am I even in this damn weather? Pay is anyway, why not live where it's nice and warm and I can smoke without being hassled by the law.

#HighNoon ... .. Perfect timing.........we had to shop.... everything is Closed Monday for 3 Kings/epiphany...and Saturday will be as busy as Xmas eve...so had to be done...

Very reasonably quiet....and goods on the shelves....... except our gluten free bread which has been out of stock since before Christmas.....


It is really funny... Spanish supermarkets are Doing customer service...they must have been on a training course..........and it is confusing the heck out of the customers who just aren't used to it.....what do you mean you want to help pack my bags...or slow the cashier down so my groceries aren't piled high with no option to bag em....?.... weirdo.....

Yup...... that is why I have asked before if you had a small income/disability pension...and if you had EU access for your meds.

You can live in Spain much cheaper than the UK.

The problem is... everyone thinks the same...so employment is hard to find...but if you had a small income...you would probably be okay until you can find your feet...

Plus...no dependents...so no schools and such to afford...you would have more chance than most.......

Aaaand I'm back.
Lost my job due to illness (called off 3 times in 4 months. F that place) and don't play in any bands right now (quit for personal reasons) so I have plenty of time for the Internet again haha.
Been growing what I could, but man, working 60 hour a week didn't leave me much energy to even water my plants. I mean, the first fastbuds Gorilla Zkittles I grew gave me something like 5 or 6 zips, the one I grew while working gave me 2...
So yeah.
Oh yeah, wrote a desert/stoner rock song when I got home last night. I'll post it if I can remember how.

How's things going for everyone?
