Well, might as well post here.

  I let all of my prints and spores die in the 110 degree heat of summer and 20 degree cold blasts of winter over 5 years in my outdoor shop.  I have stooped to trying to revive some cambo spores that dusted a cart I fruited on 3-4 years ago. None of the prints seem to be taking to agar even after hydration. Eats Burma, Thia Pink Buffalo, KSSS, Lizard King, B+, GT, Pan Cams, Pan Cyans, TMF.  So far Im striking out.

Ironically the Cambo spores from the old dusty cart did germinate and I have done a T1 from the original moldy dish. I will post pictures later when I renew my supporter account.

ha, yeah I should do more of that, mostly it's a question of prioritizing my mental energy towards one thing or another. I'm really bad at not going all in on things that catch my interest at the expense of pretty much everything else in my life.



I confess this is me sometimes, have a hard time splitting my energy between projects so something usually suffers while I'm focusing on the others. Lost an entire crop because I was concentrating on mycology instead of the vegetables.

My solution this year is to try and put both together and see if they will work with each other. I use a ton of manure to fertilize so cubes should be ok in there and should help to breakdown nutrients for the plants.

I'm a little jealous of the tunnelvisioned.
I try to do everything, add more and more on top, and all of it falls short.
So, I have shooting greens, a few hours clocked in a game, faltering physical memory, and side/bottom pins.
And then I also get serious bouts of the fuckits when all of it just goes to shit.

I need to strive for focus and eliminating procrastination. Time management. The solution? Hmm.... probably mushrooms.

Does this make a difference I never wash them good. I do a soapy water rinse and then a clean water rinse.
Those jars that I posted looked pretty much like that too thick white mycelium.  Same with the jars I've got going now.
Ah I'm tired of oats
I confess I'm tired of oats went to pick up a bag of barley today and my supplier stopped carrying it.
I left my bag of wbs outside its soaked.
I'm still sitting on 120lbs of oats. Idk wtf I'm going to do with those maybe try to clean them real good and brew up some brew. Idk.

I confess my latest mush work is very much sub par. Some of my worst work honestly. Been stressed out, stretched thin in more ways than one, and physically unable to do the work I want to do, or how I want to do it which has lead to a lot of compromises in various ways. Surgery coming up next week so hopefully I will be fixed soon and get back to forward progress. There is just so much uncertainty right now I don't know what my next move is at any given time and it is showing in my mush. Yields are down, contam rates are up, prints and agar cultures are falling behind. I feel like a healthy dose of my fruits would help my mindset but I don't want to go through that experience with this back injury. Tripping while in pain seems like a really bad time to me and don't want my limited mobility to make me feel trapped because I can't move. 

Also, I confess I just realized yesterday how much I had been using poppy tea to manage my back pain and be functional. Even with it, I can only walk for short periods of time and use a cane, bit without it I can't leave the couch except to use bathroom and even that is a bit agonizing. Realized that I have been making 6-7 pods worth of tea every day for the last 2 weeks or so (since I ran out of kratom). By no mean an ungodly amount but more dependant than I would like to be.any many years ago my junky friends and I thought it would be a good idea to get a methadone clinic built in our town. We joined one in a city a couple hours away and went until they opened one for us. Opening day was me, my gf, and 2 of my friends. I was patient 004 (we were all hoping to be 001. I was bummed I didn't get it). Eventually I couldn't afford it and had no choice. I was dosing at 90mg, got down to 45mg over the course of 2 weeks and then stopped going. That was the most painful, miserable, and just all around terrible and difficult event I have gone through. I say that because it has given so much strength and will power to know I made it through it but also gave me a very good reason to never want to be there again.
I am nowhere near that point, but I know where it can lead.

Long confession and not entirely cult related so please don't let me get us off track. :smile:

    #26461567 - 01/31/20 06:07 AM (3 years, 11 months ago)

I confess, mycology will be on hold for at least a month or 2. Yesterday, my mom took a nasty spill and did some real damage.
This morning they are going to attempt to repair closed  complete compound fractures of the Tibia and Fibula just above the ankle. She has also completely severed the humoral head off the bone shaft of her left arm, not sure what they will do there and so far neither are the surgeons.

It's so crazy how a wonderful start to the day can turn to shit so fast. Trauma medicine was my thing before retiring, but you're never prepared for a family member or close friend that is hurt. I happened to stop by to see my mom only to find her in the bushes by the steps unable to move, she had just fallen a few minutes before I had arrived  and my dad couldn't hear her calling.

My mom is in her 70's and generally healthy with the exception of some vision loss but I have seen injuries like this take out elderly people due to pneumonia and other complications, so I'm I'm freaking out just a little. I would appreciate prayers and good vibes if you believe in a higher power. Hope y'all have a blessed day. I'm off to the hospital for the day.


@randalf the grey. Brother,  take it from someone who knows, your fucking up with the poppy tea, short acting opioids are terrible for chronic pain issues, I know firsthand.  I had to learn to live with a certain level of pain and not over medicate. Short acting opioids will fool you into taking more by making you chase the "high" to block the pain. I had to learn to live with the very minimum amount of pain meds to give me a semblance of normal life and push my self to stay active.
If you know that you will never get better  and will always need opioids, talk to your doctor about long acting opiates, but if you can have your back repaired stay away from long acting opiates  because the withdrawal is waaaaay longer. It has become so difficult for people like you and I to get our medicine here in Florida that I was forced to go to the methadone clinic after the 5th doctor up and left without warning and no referral. Between methadone and a ton of weed I have been able to reclaim my life over the past few years. Don't get me wrong  I still have a lot of pain, but I've learned to live it for the most part. Hope you find a comfortable median.

Yeah I got amazon on it yesterday, really wanted that cooker though.

Randalf that’s rough man, I went through the whole pod tea deal, like you said 6-7 is nothing but relying on opiates is rough. I didn’t even need them just thought it was fun until it was too late.

Have you thought about getting back to the clinic? I mean it’s usually free and you’ll prob have a higher quality of life, but I can totally understand taking the pain over the dependency.

I talked to a guy once who has some sort of thing implanted into his spine that disrupts pain signals, says it basically saved his life cuz he was so wrecked after an accident he couldn’t do anything without extreme pain and a lot of help, and now you can’t even tell anything ever happened to him.

tripping with a bad back is the sheeit!  I once broke my back snowboarding and had a buddy brake his back snowboarding the same week!?!?    we hung out  and ate shrooms everyday and played snes for like a month straight.  lots of psytrance and corny reggae.  you get alot more anxiety thinking about how it might be than when you just go for it.  the shrooms always melt away any anxiety I might have.  it may help you explore your limited mobility in new ways
