Rising From the Ashes (CL)

At the price of vegies lately, it is much cheaper to grow your own. 1$ for 1 cucumber or 1$ for a seed pack and you get so many out of that.

Or getting potatoes from the store to grow your own works fine. Until you get some disease in your soil and then you can’t grow potatoes anymore.

That’s it! It just tastes better! Most of the time.

I had this discussion yesterday!

And yes, the prices of fruits and vegetables here are high. I completely agree on it being cheaper in the long run. You get sooooo much more… if you can keep the deer out! :rofl:

I personally like to get outside and do it. The smell of freshly tilled soil is almost intoxicating. It’s kind of like lifting because it’s not like that all the time. You have a few shit sessions then you have that one good one and it reminds you why you do it!

@TM79 tried to rawdog without any music, since my new earbuds (I got for Christmas that don’t charge worth a damn )died when I got down there. I got about halfway through and said… screw this and walked back up and got my good old reliable ear buds :rofl:

Even before this last time out I have been thinking about some more kettlebells. I am on the hunt! Probably won’t happen unless I find some for free but It’s my happy dream. I have come this far!

I assume I will be headed back to California upon retirement. My home has an acre. Half that has an orchard, peaches, plums, prunes, apricots, nectarines, oranges, etc. Plus probably 100 sq ft of garden boxes. Oh, I forgot the grapes and cherries. There is a fig tree or two and pomegranate. I grew up with that. The few things I miss about the once Golden State was/is the agriculture. And my grandparent’s house.

No speaker?? Why???

I like the entire house to be thumping. :laughing:

Me too, if the person on the second floor doesn’t know what I am rocking in the basement, it’s not loud enough.

No close neighbour, here :grin:

Ha ha, I don’t blame you! I raw dog almost every garage session nowadays, which means I probably need therapy… :crazy_face:

I used to have speakers in there but switched to ear buds. The people who live back behind my house were ER nurses. I thought it was kinda rude of me to be blasting music at 6-7 am if one of them had been working all night.

They don’t give a shit if I am trying to sleep though. He will be out there on his damn tractor at the butt crack of dawn on his days off. It just reinforces the fact that I’m just the better person. Makes me feel superior. :rofl:

You’re like a freaking SAINT!

I live in the dead center of 2.6 acres and assumed, having grown up in the suburbs, that we were private. Apparently not! My husband was outside loading the canoe onto the car one morning while I ran with the windows open, a good 7-8 months after we moved in, and a neighbor came over and asked him to turn the music down. Haha, you could hear it for MILES, it seemed, when we went out and walked around with it on and set to the usual volume. She came over at 9 that morning, but my workday runs were at 5:30-6, and not all of my music is nice. We put an a/c in the treadmill room so I wouldn’t need to open windows in the summer and husband hung the Bose speakers at my exact ear level to assist in destroying my hearing without impacting everyone else’s.

As time has gone on, we’ve come to realize that this couple - mostly him - are pretty awful, so now I don’t care that I was waking them with “MOVE, bitch, get out the way! Get out the way, bitch, get out the way!”

Got hung up talking to the neighbor. She is trying to lose weight and was walking. I stopped her to offer her an old nordic track stationary bike.

One of my off and on peeps passed so I have to get dressed for a funeral at 11 Ugh! I mean she was 95, she had a good run!

We have had the same neighbors for almost 25 years. All of them good folk. Now property is being sold, houses are being built, traffic is winding up. Posted speed limits mean 45+20 mph. Two summers ago I caught one fellow stealing canal water to fill his bass pond. Bass are an invasive species here, I believe. I am wondering if Fish and Game will catch him? He is a prince, just kidding. I am hoping he builds more than his shop. One guy sued my neighbor, claiming their fence was ten feet over, on his property. When the survey was done, come to find out, the fence was to far the other way. I guess he should have left well enough alone. Progress, meh…
