I'm doing a couple of experiments today.
The first is mole tea made with fresh mint.
I'll strain it then try to heard them out of my yard by spraying specific locations over a period of several days.

The second experiment is homemade aloe fertilizer.
I froze most of it in ice cube trays but saved some in the fridge. Not sure why it turned pink...

I made aloe tea to try cloning with it, it also turned pink, no idea why. It didn't work nearly as well as Dip and Grow.

I don't know why i keep trying to help her ..:wall:

My mothers been on me about getting her truck running for over 3 months now, so last night i pushed it over to the garage. This morning I dropped the fuel tank and pulled the fuel pump. Totally corroded from sitting with any empty tank for over a year and the tanks pretty damn rusty inside. I think i put a new pickup and pump in 3, maybe 4, years ago. Then I got into an argument with her about fixing it and money. I just want to get a whole new tank with the pump for $175, it's cheap insurance. Flush the fuel line's once it's in and not worry about it again. She wants it done as cheap as possible. Buy just the pump for $15 and have me try cleaning and reusing everything else. Yeah cause my labors free:roll: and flushing a gas tank is soooooo fucking easy. She hasn't saved a dime to put into it, even though i told her back then she was looking at $500-750 for the parts and tires i knew it needed. I told her I'm not doing more work than I have to, that probably won't work, so she can, maybe, save money in the short term. I told her how all the rust in the tank will kill a new pump and I'm not dropping the tank again, she can pay a shop next time when they'll want to replace it at $500+. She doesn't listen to reason. I'm so fucking pissed right now. I got a truck torn apart in my garage, that I didn't even want to work on, that I now have to spend my fucking money if I want it done right, which I'll probably never see again. Thanks mom, again:finger:

I went to grad school at UCDavis in the late 70's, at the east edge of town there was a Hunt's tomato factory. The town was surrounded by 1000's of tomato acres. The factory made tomato soup, sauce and ketchup; doing one product for weeks, then next product. The the whole area smelled of some tomato product from Sept-March. Tomato soup wasn't that pleasant

Yah, but aren't you glad there was Hienz Ketchup at Murder Burger?
Edit: n/m they didn’t start business till ‘86

Doesn't have the biggest roller coaster or the coolest new ride, but it's the only town that literally smells like chocolate in the streets from the factory.

And the street lights look like Hershey kisses.

When I was a kid we lived down the street from Warner's Candy Factory. You could smell the yummy from half a mile away, esp. in the summer. The smell changed depending on what they were making at the time, but it usually smelled of caramel. Their dumpsters were behind a rather short (10 feet, iirc) fence with no barbed wire. All the neighborhood kids would climb it and get into the dumpsters to retrieve much of the reject candy they threw away daily, and they threw away a lot - chocolate covered nuts, gummy worms, that sweet liquid in tiny wax bottles (remember those???). Sometimes the labels would be off-kilter, or they mislabeled the candy packages, etc.. In the heat of summer sometimes it would be semi-melted, but we didn't care. Poor inner-city kids aren't too picky. After a few years they installed a taller fence and put barbed wire around, but those were great years. I'm surprised I didn't develop diabetes...

Lol at the dumpster diving.

You're gonna love this.

I worked shifts for 4 decades. Sometimes after 4-12, I'd stop with a couple buddies for a couple beers and chicken wings or something.

One night I'm with 2 guys from work, one a current volunteer fireman. After a couple beers, the fireman says its a good night to dumpster dive. And he asks us if we want to go.

(Now this was a USW mill, everybody made nice money, nobody was hurting or had to dumpster dive.)

So my one buddy says to me 'we gotta see this' and we drive our fireman pal to the local Giant Eagle at 1AM, around behind the building where the dumpsters are.

He takes a burlap sack and dives the fuck in there. And sure as shit, cops show up lights flashing.

My buddy and I are sitting in car, cops come over wanting ID and reason why We're there. So we told them that our friend is dumpster diving and we're waiting for him to come out.

Both cops head to dumpster, climb up little ladder and shine in their lights. Then they see our fireman buddy and they start razzing him about being in a dumpster.

The cops and fireman are all buddies, small town and they all respond to the same calls half the time.

They let us go and the diver shows us his haul. 10 packs of expired hot dogs, 2 dozen cans with no labels (pot luck I guess), some expired bread and hot dog buns, ketchup, mustard with knife cuts in bottles and a bunch of other shit, all with a big smile on his face like he hit the lotto.

Following night at work, he gets on the company radio to inform us and everyone in our dept. at lunchtime that he has a few dozen hot dogs and sauer kraut at his station, 'come on over'.

We put a sign up, free Oscar Meyer dumpster dogs. Everybody ate them.

Made it home alive but with a crazy sunburn. Prices are insane for food and drinks. Got my son one hotdog and a frozen lemonade and it came to 12 bucks. Almost 4 bucks for a bottle of water.

I was waiting for a friend in the supermarket when I saw this guy wheel a cart full of Boars Head sandwich meats out to the dumpster. I intercepted to see why they were throwing it out, it was overstock they didn't have room for. I got a whole maple smoked ham, peppered turkey and rare roast beef. A couple other people also noticed and grabbed some stuff. Had to be hundreds of dollars worth of meat, easy. One of my friends has a meat slicer so I went there sliced and packaged it all and drove around to all my friends giving it away. Some of my friend's never bought Boars Head before that cause of the price, after that, that's all they bought.. lol. Having that giant chunk of ham to carve a slab off was awesome.
