They don't build them like that anymore..

If someone were to ever ask me what was my favorite Christmas present was I would have to say the one thing that remains today..  The fischer price house..

She's a little worn but.. Here is why I really like this house.. I got it for Christmas back when I was maybe in second grade... I had never seen or played with it before getting it.. I likely saw it in the Christmas catalog and imagined playing with it..   The main reason I like this house is simple.. I played with it.. My little brother played with it.. By older brothers daughters played with it, my little brothers boys have played with it and now my older brothers grand daughters are playing with it... That is one sturdy house to just get through my rough housing with it and now it is over forty years old and holding up quite nicely...

Roku fuckme

Roku streaming players are great but.. I thought I would say they are really good but you have to watch that the updates take and work fine.. Why is this important??  I recently had an update for the UI or OI.. And it seemed to not even be noticed as usual but this time like an earlier time the update didn't fully take.. How did I know??  This is fairly simple.. This past week I got an update, or a screw up of some sort.. How did I know??  This hasn't happened in a while, since like April when we upgraded to a faster internet and I got n our ISP and started ridding them regularly and finally they changed the internet settings..  We were supposed to have 5MBS and we would have that and more, until about the time school got out and then suddenly we would go from fast to as slow as there could be.. It seemed unregulated..  Well this past week there was an issue and instantly I thought our internet was going to shit, you start going through the different what could be wrong and the one thing I thought of was is the router going to shit, nut completely out of the realm of possible.. But here's the thing, we have another roku and it wasn't being interupted at all so what does that leave me with??   The router could still be the issue but I thought this likely isn't the issue...  So they have ways to check parts of the system and so I tried the first setting.. : Quality Settings Screen (Bit Rate Adjustment Screen)
Press [Home:5x] [Rewind:3x] [FF:2x]

• This sets the bit rate of video downloads to your device. If you are experiencing stutters, try changing the bit rate to the max 3.5Mbps setting.

1.     Automatic
2.     3.5 Mbps
3.     2.5 Mpbs
4.     2.0 Mpbs
5.     1.5 Mpbs
6.     1.0 Mpbs
7.     0.6 Mpbs
8.     0.3 Mpbs
9.     Enable/Disable playback debugging

What does changing the quality do??  Well it changes the amount of the internet you use, Or at least I think it does, on the Neflix setting I set it to the lowest setting, I don't have a high def tv and so I am more than happy to change from high def to low def.. I really am not up to having the GREATEST NETFLIX 4K  because we don't have that ability and it would be a waste of time for us.. So I set the setting to 3.5 which is not much.. and it went along and played alright.. Until it had to load again.. This sucked, went to the speed test and thought well the speed was down a little.. This was expected, our internet is likely going down and I expected it.. I'm happy at the 5MBS setting because We don't need the fastest, everything is standard def... So I thought try another setting.. Initially I thought a lower setting, maybe 2.5 maybe even lower...  Then I thought try another setting ... 

Debug Options:
Press [Home:5x] [FF:3x] [Rewind:2x]

• In this screen you can perform a full factory reset which clears all setting and channels from your Roku.
• Cycle channel store server which is useful to load newly installed channels.
• Cycle software update server
• Update software to latest version.
• Enable/Disable debug logging. Note: This requires Developer Mode be turned on.

What this gives you is the ability to check to make sure to check the "update software to the latest version in the software"  and all it really does is update to the latest software.. It gave me the choice to go from the latest to the latest meaning just in case it didn't  take.. Which had happened before.. And that is what it did, checked the update, installed and rebooted..  This seemed to fix the issue as it stopped the buffering issue for the night.. 

What other screens are there?? Check Installed Operation Software Version:

Press [Home:3x] [Up:2x] [Left] [Right] [Left] [Right] [Left]

• This screen shows software version and which channels are installed.

Turn On Developer Mode 
Press [Home:3x] [Up:2x] [Right] [Left] [Right] [Left] [Right]

• This is used for Roku channel developers and also to enable logging.

The developer mode is associated with a certain app, develop mode.. Making a channel work.. 

Reset Command 
Press [Home:5x] [Up:1x] [Rewind:2x] [FF:2x]

• Please be patient, it takes a while to reboot. All your Roku Channels and Setting will be preserved.

This I've never done and I think this is a new screen... 

Factory Reset Clear All Memory 

Perform a factory restore or "Hard Reset" by removing all cables except for power. Use a paper clip and hold the reset button on the back of the Roku for about 15-20 seconds. Reinstall all the cords and the Roku will ask to do a guided setup just like when it was new.

This will completely restore your Roku device to factory new state. Do this if you want to quickly clear all Roku channels and settings for troubleshooting, or if selling your Roku.

Reset to the hard rest which is done in the set up screen and can be in another work screen but isn't all together needed..   Setting your Roku to square one is the most drastic thing you could do to fix something.. More often than not it is to sell the box to make room for a new version of the Roku.. 

What is a good one to get?? 

https://www.amazon.com/Roku-Express/dp/B01LXJA5JD/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1480978212&sr=1-3&keywords=roku+stick

In all honesty he best one to get is whatever fits your need... The one that will support 4k which means your internet better be able to support that.. To me I am so pleased with what I have, it is the composite cord and that is the lowest video but.. Remembering cable tv over antennae is something I always compare..   There are those that swear by the highest setting but high def just never interested me.. To each his own..

Enough...

Back in the "day" as they say.. I was in a rock band and we covered this song..  For a while at least before we wrote enough of our own stuff, then this song was gone...

What I've watched recently

Been a while since I did this entry what I've watched recently mostly because it was on a different blog that has changed quite a bit from being a blog with odd shit on it to being somewhat of a political type of blog.. And because of that it seems to be starting to take off fairly well... I can't complain, although I'm still not making any money from it.. That might change eventually...


What I have been watching lately...

Black mirror episode "Nosedive".. And it's really an interesting story in that it takes the social media to the next level in which we see people rate things, kinda like they do now except it is more life and death, or rather how you live or where you live. Really an interesting story... Black mirror as a whole reminds me of Twilight Zone... Short stories that have a twist to them..

White Christmas story ...

You watch the entire episode and realize that this is the election we just went through this year.. Hard to believe and if those who voted for Trump might have seen this first might have seen Trump in this as the Waldo character.. And might have voted differently..

Extract was an interesting movie.. about a guy who decides to sell his company only to have strange things happen while in the process of trying to see the company..

3%  as we would think of them sort of like the 1% like that only not rich but rather well off mentally and socially.. A series that as with all first episodes I dose through.. Hope it gets better.. Stand by..

Every David Blaine magic special is interesting to watch and as you do you realize this is only interesting.. I mean some of this seems scripted.. I like magic but.. This is just weird..

song of the day..

Hard Core Superstar... Don't Mean Shit To Me... 

Song of the day Black Dog..

Heavy metal done in the key of weird... But.. I get into these weird moods and ... Well this is just cool.. 

Thunderstruck

I might be one of the few people who don't care for the original AC/DC version.. This is a good cover... 

Song of the day.. Rocket Man

You gotta love some odd version of ... Elton Johns classic Rocket Man... 

Bad lip reading

Star wars, what a better way to have fun..

Another from...  A new Hope..

The Empire strikes back... Bad Lip Reading..

Return of the Jedi... Bad lip reading....

It's closer to ten thousand.. And therein is the problem.. 

so that's how it is done..

I haven't lost my touch... Before the election I had been sparing back and forth with one of my uncles and it was lighthearted and sometimes his jabs would draw blood and every now and then mine would get him..  Well sometime last week, after the election I put something on about the electoral college and a lot of people are saying we need to change and get rid of the electoral college it is out of date.. He called that a sore losers move.. I countered saying you want to talk sore loser, YOU have done nothing but wine about Obama... That did it.. He unfriended me.. Not only unfriended but made it to where I can't find him to apologize.. Oh well... Can't have it all and uncle or no if he can't take the truth...  Oh well to you.. Grow a Pair... Not a pare or a peach .. Or a plumb..  ... A pair.. of..  well you know...  Hopefully he will but i'm not counting on it... He is a staunch republican, bleeds red blooded republicanize..  Good for him.. Likely his wife told him to unfriend me.. I am figuring he will eventually call my mom and tell her what I said.. I told her what I said, and told her I stopped short of calling him a sniveling whining assbag.. I wanted to.. Hope he is around in four years (as with us all) and has enough memory (he is early stage dementia) so I can rub him if Trump blows the US into a shitty country.. Which everyone is predicting..   i hope he can do a few things he said he will do.. Infrastructure being primary..

Fall

Collecting the leaves this year has been  a month plus long event.. In past years I rake or mulch the leaves twice and that is it.. I will be mow/mulching the leaves the latest I have ever mowed.. This is the 16th of November, nearly a week until Thanksgiving.. Mom was asking me do you think there are more leaves this year.. And I thought well you crazy old.. Then I thought she might be right, we only had a couple nasty storms that didn't produce as much hail this summer.. We had some serious winds but still not enough to alter the leaves situation.. When I look at the pile (s) of leaves in the gardening areas there seems to be more.. The pumpkin patch (proper) is really full of leaves.. Most years up until about five years ago I took the leaves out.. But I had always wanted to keep them to let them mulch, and the past three have been the best I have ever had.. Getting them in, setting them and letting them change on their own.. This year because of the sheer amount being so much greater I have had to water the pile to aid in the mulching process which has helped.. I put the temperature probe in there and the temp is over 80 degrees in the pile, which means it is working.. Just like every year it mulches, adding nutrients to the ground for next summers garden no matter what it might be (I still haven't decided yet what I will plant)..

That being said what I would really love to have is these leaves make it through planting, mostly to use them to be a weed blocker.. Just punching holes to the soil and planting plants or seeds and seeing if that would work but every year the leaves have been mulched enough to till them in.. Maybe this year will be different..

After the fall of the wall

I remember when the wall in Germany fell.. It was the true end to an era that needed to end.. And now here we are on thee cusp of returning to the worst time in the world history.. The old saying that those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.. Why we know what tyranny is about elected to the white house someone who reads and studies the Hitler regime and thinks that is just fine... I myself got a feeling of it when I got pulled over in the walmart parking lot.. It was mistaken identity but could have escalated, had I not just decided that this was not the place for this small resistance.. I don't want to make waves but can see me joining if it comes to that.. I said on another blog that I can see a civil war, that a week ago seemed so more likely that the rednecks and inbreds would be participating in had their boy Twitter Boy Trump had lost..


A slight change is now going to take place, for no other reason than the blog I used to put my "movie reviews"  (What I watched recently) will be here instead of My Thad blog, and the main reason is.. Well that blog has become more of a political views type.. not that that is the reason to change but.. Here's how it is.. I have a blog called Phudge Nuts on Parade and it has exclusively memes and recently it was mostly political memes that I found and wanted the anti trump to be strong.. As with the other blog.. But I doubled and tripled and quadrupled the effort to show what a bad idea electing Trump would be.. Backfired??  Well you could say that but I want to tell people those will remain there until Google is forced to take them down when Trump rewrites the first amendment which likely will happen in his second year assuming he isn't impeached or assassinated..  It gets about maybe twenty views a day.. That's nice but almost a waste of time to bother with, and with the outcome of the election the opposite of what it was, i may have to change some of the entries, I finished November entries the week before the election and have no idea what the entries are that are on there.. The double entries  will continue through December, although at present they go to the end of November.. I will continue the doubled entries through  December.. That blog has entries that go through the end of the year 2018 although unrelated to what is going on in the world today.. That is why the doubled entries will be there.. My Thad Chiz  Wick blog seems to have taken off a bit..  Where PNOP remains stagnate, the Thad blog took off, about the end of September i noticed things starting to get more views and this happened when I was about to pull the plug n it.. But the viewership has really starting to move up in numbers.. Not a massive amount, but to me gradually moving up is better than the two views per day.. It has gone up a lot more than I would ever have thought it would.. Where PNOP has twenty five views a day.. Thad has twenty five views an hour..  So I'm optimistic it will continue that way.. But who views the blogs.. PNOP is mostly here in America, a few outside the border but mostly here in America and once in a while elsewhere.. While PNOP seems America looks a little, My Thad gets most of it's views from France, Poland, Germany and Ukraine.. And a couple from America... That is just weird.. I hope I'm not the voice of the country.. Or maybe I'm fine with that.. Get ready to laugh at us...

What did I watch this past weekend.. Well here it is..

After the election and living in dread for a few days I needed a change and so I clicked to see What About Bob.. yes I have seen this classic many times and it never fails to make me laugh.. Very entertaining but the Bill Murray does that in just about every movie he has ever done.. Bill plays a neurotic borderline schitzoid and gets referred to a new therapist and from that point his new therapist played by Richard Dreyfus starts to change and it is interesting to see how Bill goes from a crazy person to being normal, and watching Richards  go from somewhat sane to losing it..

I give it a year.. This movie was a nice romcom with Rose Byrne and what they could have easily called it was awkward moments in love.. So many times I felt unsettled because every moment after they got married was showing why getting married was a huge mistake..

Judge Dredd (the original with Sylvester Stallone)  I had never seen the movie and it is quite predictable but still not a bad movie...

 This one is the best of the Black Mirror shows so far.. Episode three : The Entire History Of You.. This one has an implant for people to record their history, record their every day lives in a place in their brains and so that might sound very good, as you live your life you record everything that goes on.. When the main Charactor gets ready to go on a trip home he is checked at the gate with this device to see what he has been up to.. In this case a fairly boring lawyer, so nothing showed he was a risk to bomb the plane so he is allowed to board the aircraft..  As we get more involved it shows that the can review his day, and try to decipher what was said to him in the meeting and decide what was what.. To his relationship with his wife.. Really interesting show.. Very worth the watch...


And so.. That is it, if you are reading this it is December... something.. I think so my boring life rekindled on the new blog here.. Still tentatively called ........  Whatever it will be called..

Songs of the day... Alice Cooper

Devils food alternate version from...  Welcome to my nightmare..

These things he says are true, we're all humanary stew...    Where does he get these lines, such classic lyrics you just don't hear anyone write like this now.. 

the post election blues..

this was from a site I follow on Facebook:
Well. The end has come. Time to jump off a bridge. Hilary lost!
BULLSHIT!
I look outside. The sun indeed came up. A new day. Anyone can find the bad. It takes effort to find the good.
What is the good side of the election?

From a college professor. He claimed American politics is a pendulum swinging from the right to the left. He gets nervous when the pendulum stays right or left to long. The pendulum after 8 years to the left, now swings to the right.
NO America is NOT more racist and misogynist and anti woman.
What happened?
The working poor. Often folks in peak physical condition from their manual trades (Carpentry, Roofing, Farming, etc...etc...) will not get hit with a 2,000 dollar penalty for not having insurance. They will not face a massive increase for shitty bronze level coverage they cannot afford, nor do they need.
Finally after years, Folks who own small medical facilities will get relief from the burdens of the Electronic medical record keeping part of the ACA. The information systems companies that took a percentage of each medical transaction may go away and give medical practitioners the ability to practice medicine. Small doctor practices might again open shop without being forced out of business.
The Democratic party has typically represented the above demographics. Sadly the party was absolutely tone deaf. Bill Clinton mentioned those penalties once at a rally.
I know the party has a voice. I just hope they grow ears before the next cycle. Bernie Sanders heard and answered.
What could have been.
"I will repeal Obamacare." "We will rebuild America's infrastructure, second class to no one." Donald Trump got it.
I am still angry my candidate did not win. I do understand.


###############################################################

my final thoughts to the election yesterday.. That was it.. That's the election.. A lot of people are happy today, and almost as many are not.. When Hilary was running i never heard of militias getting guns ready to go fight a civil war.. She conceded and then went to bed and likely got a better nights sleep than I did.. She is likely done being in the political game..  Who will run in 2020??  Who knows, but we are only 18 months from finding out.. Don't you love this??

 

Election day..

The song for today.. and everyday, but today especially.. 

Tina Arena ... CHAINS..

election prediction

Here is my prediction as to who will win, here we are a week from the election being decided... HOPEFULLY...  I predict... drum roll please... @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@#$%^&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&************ZZ
Hillary Clinton wins and it won't even be that close although there will be those (mostly at FNC) that put a coat of pleasant colours on this massive defeat (remember 2012 when they contested the election being called in Obama's favour and couldn't believe it.. )  It will be called in Hillary's favour before the seats are warmed at the Trump  head quarters.. Time to warm up the lawsuit machines there... Will he or won't he??  Will he concede before midnight, with the election being called before ten in the evening east coast time... That will literally mean they call the election before the polls close in the western most reaches of the country.. That means vote early...  Not that Alaska and Hawaii mean much to the outcome..  Trump is an idiot and will not take this loss lightly, in fact I don't see him admitting defeat at all.. EVER..  It will be one of his stooges that will concede defeat..  He won't, and in fact will look to arm his followers in an attempt to start a civil war that will only be a distraction, and a small blip.. Once a few of his followers are shot the rest won't like that and will fall in line...

Look. I like the idea that he has, he has said a lot of things I have said.. Drain the swamp, I like the idea of getting rid of career politicians.. Getting rid of the bad money in politics, the NRA buying candidates to keep guns guns GUNS in the Americans lexicon of we needs our guns.. You can pry my gun out of my cold dead hands..  Well the fact that they have to fight so hard tells me that there are certain people who shouldn't have them..    Drain the swamp sounds really good and would have been something he should have lead with instead of that wall he was starting with.. "I want the USA to be secure.."  Who doesn't???  And the day may come where we say we need a big barrier on the south there but...  And Trump likely will be the one saying I told you so...  There are things I like about Trump in what he has said, one being why are we paying countries that obviously hate us money.. We need to stop that.. They can just as easily hate us getting money from Russia, that would be no problem..  Shaking up Washington D.C. establishment would be great but he won't do it.. He has no clue how government works and will get his ass handed to him right out the gate.. There are so few that actually are backing him, not because they think he would be a great president but because they think if they don't support him that their careers will be over.. Hard to believe that a lot of republicans say they won't vote for Trump because they are more afraid what he will do for himself, one of which will be to eliminate his debt.. Also he says he will negotiate a lower debt for the country.. That I think he will take us into Bankruptcy (not pay anything on the debt)  and what that will do is have a domino effect on every country that has a debt and will eventually start a world wide colapse of the financing system.. And bring the monetary system into one..  One money system.. I've said that will eventually happen, and what it will mean is that how we have sanctions against Russia.. That will end right there and right then...

So if you like your Russia with even footing there is why Trump could not win...  One of the things I didn't like about Hillary getting elected was her saying that she would enforce a no fly zone over Syria.. That could start a war we don't need.. Why should we fight for Syria?? Another middle east country we need to leave the hell alone.. I know people who know exactly why we should help but really why??  My uncle had said a few years ago that Obama made that line in the sand and said we need to go over there, and all I could say to that is why should we go over there?? There really isn't anything there that I would see saying yeah, let's send our troops over there and let them get killed in another meaningless war or police action..

Having Hillary as president will likely mean???  Well my idea is it might mean more of what having Obama in office, but if she has the Senate on the democrats side she should get a justice seated into the supreme court..  Will it mean repealing the second amendment??  Highly unlikely but getting background checks passed and other ways to control that would be nice.. Having mass shootings is horrible, the one just before the election.. That was bad but it swung people more in her favor, while everyone for Trump and the republican way realized they were full of shit.. But getting a full legislative work done should be first on her list of what to do first.. Then whatever else.. Syria should be lower on her list and getting rid of that secret police shit needs to be on her list as well..

Why not fall forward and spring back ... Welcome to the new I don't give a shit Trump presidency..

So Donald Trump got elected.. So now he has to try to fill at least one of his promises.. Oh That's easy..  Um....  Oh what part of Obama's eight years to destroy first..  Let's see.. The ACA.. Obamacare will be replaced with Trump care.. He will repeal by executive action, "I don't need no congress for this"  striking down the ACA and replacing it with an undisclosed and yet to be hashed out version that will be so much more better than the ACA ever was.. Just give him a little time to figure it out.. Next will be the Iran deal which the USA raitified and enacted but which dildo Trump will get rid of.. Second executive action, getting rid of that...  Next up..  giving full and complete access to all FBI, CIA, and any of the other "secret" services to his buddy, the guy who helped steal the election for him, Vlad Putin.. Sex party at the whitehouse Thanksgiving weekend, BYOC (bring your own condoms) optional...   Drain the swamp??

IF Trump were to be elected, the first six months of his presidency would be a telling of his full first term... If he gets elected his approval numbers  would likely start just under fifty percent with the whole world living in fear and throwing the numbers down.. 50% for America  10% for the world with Russia and North Korea the only true approving countries.. When you have those two countries that like who your president is you know you've taken a gigantic step BACKWARDS... And hat is exactly what will happen.. Reading articles and listening to tv shows in the days after the Brexit vote we all learned the main reason most of the people voted for leaving the EU was they never thought it would happen.. It was a protest vote.. In these waning days leading up to the USA vote I'm hearing the same thing about Trump.. People are feeling sorry for him, he speaks the truth, they are rigging the vote against him, it is all rigged..  Well a protest vote will get you Trump and if you have the ACA as a healthcare provider and you think Trump will improve it.. you are wrong, and will be without any insurance until you get a job that has benefits or you will be WITHOUT and not just until he gets something else put together.. It is the republican party's way to just not do anything for the people..  Just the way it is but you know.. Vote for Trump and hope he wins and also hope he can develop tact because so far everything I've ever seen him do or say will anger all of our friends in every country.. Allies be damned. he is friends with Russia and countries like their ilk.. As I've said before, I have no problem with the Russian people, I believe they are like us, just doing fine and living quite well.. Just don't fuck with them.. Same here..  It's the government I don't trust.. Theirs as well as ours.. Ours is into covert bullshit that will get world war three started and no one will understand that it is us that caused it because we just do shit that should be left to other countries.. listen when we do all that we have and complain about Iran and shit, they are likely doing fine on their own, we just dick with them, and they get pissed off.. We need to get out of the middle East and call it a day... Delete that last part...

So when Trump gets us to June we will find out that Rudy wants to eliminate other parts of the constitution and they want to eliminate the FDA.. i would be alright with that but when the milk smells funny now i wonder what is in it.. Same with the lunch meat.. Have you ever wondered why it lasts a month without becoming medical.. What's in that shit now??  And i'm eating it..  Oh well it hasn't killed me ... yet...

Election 2016 how the chips plop..

You get flyers in the mail and in the paper and...  This one is the local threat.. I mean treat .. Remove the h. and it's actually a nice thing..  well you decide...

I should have darkened it to be able to read it but... I saw something about this last month how the local city will enact or continue to enact a half cent sales tax for economical development and that seems fine.. But when I read about it last month, the article said they would still take that half cent as a tax even if this weren't voted for...  What??   First off, it sounds like a good idea.. Except for one thing.. The last sentence, "This is the only tool that the state of Nebraska allows cities to attract new business and retain existing business."   Yep that worked really well.. Let's see.. They lost three businesses in Tyko wire technology site.. Commercial resin (a business that coated pipe for oil companies, went toes up when the price of crude oil bottomed out (damn you Obama))  and last but certainly not the least, losing Cabellas no matter how much of it is actually gone (some estimate over half the corporate will be gone after the first of the year, one half to two thirds.. that is being nailed in the pants seriously).. So that tax really did help.. Although on the other side of this flyer it did tell of a business that moved a part of their business here as an expansion and plan to do more.. Fingers crossed that does happen.. But there is a tax for development that was put in place to fix the golf course (the all important golf course that everyone uses... fix or build a new swimming pool which was a farce, building an aquatic center that has a lot of people upset because it isn't really a swimming pool is it... And then the remainder to fix a street or two... And is this the same tax as that or are they related or???  Who knows.. Who cares i mean there are likely a lot of people who will vote for this tax knowing a year from now they will be no longer living here.. Oh well pass the hot sauce..

Video of the day

Can't get you out of my head...  Astronomy Domine...   The first version I ever heard was the Ummagumma version... :

One of those you gotta hear it.. in Quad.. 

Last year to this year and beyond..

The plants that were planted last year were these.. The containers choice tomato variety I had one the year before and another.. In the Earth box planter and what I have learned from having this device is because the plants are relatively too close to each other that you need to have two of the same variety or they can cross pollinate and then you get a secondary variety, or third.. Whatever.. These can cross pollinate which can happen in a garden setting as well but not are much... The Earth box planter is more set to grow the plants at  a normal rate with the self watering that they can do.. Set to evaporate through the planting mix.. This year I didn't stake them or cage them and the main reason was because this year they were patio planter variety which simply put means they are made to grow in a patio planter...   Hence the name, and my memory from having this variety before was they didn't need caged but this year they should have been, and so I did stake them in July and they grew together in a funky looking single looking creature tomato.. Note to self, cage them.. 

There was a variety along the fence this year called Beef Stake and it grew quite well and produced tomatoes that were quite large, in fact the biggest I have likely ever grown.. So next season I am thinking this could go into the Earth box planter, and might even just be the one single plant in there.. I've never grown a single plant like that before, the instructions call for two plants, one in each corner of the box as far away from each other as they can be set.. Most plants now say 24 to 36 inches apart and after this year I think the three feet is the better distance as this year was completely bigger than ever before..

The black krim was last years trial and error tomato variety.. I don't mind trying a different variety tomato every now and then, some work out and some don't.. I had this variety and another about like it, and only one grew and produced very large and somewhat quite deformed tomatoes.. So deformed at one point they looked like a boxing glove.. They were very tasty but were hard to judge when they are done.. As with the stripy variety one year or the yellow, that when they are done you get caught off guard  and surprised that they are in fact done..  It also didn't help that last year the pumpkin variety (giants) invaded the cage where they were growing.. This messed up the growing pattern.. I think I only had at most five tomatoes from this plant, while others did ripen they got gotten by something else either a bird or some unwanted predator...  So they got tossed in the compost tumbler..

This year these three as well as the beef stake variety.. The beef stake was in the fence planter by itself taking a twenty foot area to itself.. That is the reason if I get it for the Earth box it might be alone in there because of it's sheer size potential.. The Better Bush was alright.. It produced fairly large fruits and they were very tasty.. The Tidy Treats were cherry tomato variety and mom likes these so I get a cherry variety every year for her, then the Roma variety is for me.. I had two but only one produced very well at all..    And I was going to get a moby grape variety as it is bigger than the cherry variety and I like those more than the cherry, but i never got to it this year.   They all produced quite well through the first early frost which was...????   No idea when first frost was, and actually as I was cutting the vines up yesterday they still looked like they hadn't had frost yet.. In fact the watering was shut off just after the first of October.. The Earth box was given it's final watering the first Monday of the month.. Most of the time this can be hard to judge when to stop watering the Earth box but this year.. I could have kept filling it up.. When I took care of the vines there in the garden area I dumped the Earth box as well and usually there is still water in the basin but this year it was dry..

This year I took everything out of the compost tumbler.. The reason??  I never have had it be dry through winter.. Usually I start a batch of compost and it usually is the tomato vines and the pumpkin vines and the pumpkins as well..  This year I pulled the vines out, tilled that area and then put the tomato vines there and covered them with leaves..  Usually I bury them and then cover that area with leaves..  This should be different.. Interesting.. 






The pumpkin top with the $.50 price tag was just to show the price and these were planted this year as a way to show the price was very cheap.. Not the three or four dollar variety that is more impressive because they are more expensive.. I'm a little leery about pumpkins anyway, while they seem to grow fine I have had varieties that grow fine then rot on the vine.. This years were fine but average size about between ten and twenty five pounds which is small and I took a huge chance growing them in the gas meter planting area.. took a chance because the pumpkins that I normally grow are the giant variety and usually take as big of an area that they want, causing a natural barrier which was fine last year..  keeping the little kids in the yard.. This year not so much.. 



So what will next season bring?? I always think well let's try something new.. The gas meter planter is being converted back to grass.. The reason??  It was just an experiment mostly.. I just wanted to see if that area would support a garden of some sort and it did but it was so weedy.. As with all of the gardening area and I don't plant in rows but rather just an area type of thing.. Might be better to plant in rows.. not sure, but grass right there and we have trees coming in sometime and so a tree will be planted there.. The ally planter was left empty this year for the reason of not knowing what I wanted to plant there, and I wanted to till it and keep it bare.. It is now set for the hedge shrubs that I have planted enmass from seed.. And the trees will be planted there as well..  The old pumpkin planter area will maybe have ..  ?????   Not sure... Next year the Earth box will have tomatoes again, it has to be cleaned extremely well otherwise it won't support life at all.. That two years and rotate shouldn't be the way it is with the Earth box because I never use the same soil every year.. In fact it is usually store bought except this year it was partial ours and partial store bought leftover soil fro two years ago..

The Right to vote versus not bothering

http://qpolitical.com/24-hours-after-last-nights-debate-mike-rowe-makes-a-huge-confession-on-what-he-see-wrong-with-this-election/

Mike Rowe..  I trust him to deliver the goods about voting.. Like I said in another blog, this site might not be seen until...  quite later.. Not sure when.. Should be before the election but so far I have no idea what this will be like.. trying to decide if my other blog, the thad one (renamed before this one gets up and going)   is there.. Might try to make it something different.. It was political horse shit and really my biggest fear in July when I really redirected it to be more political than anything.. So..  What will this site be..  It is whatever it has become but with a name like it has, it's got to be odd.. Wouldn't you say?? 

The photo album upbeat version

Rock and Roll all Nite...  And Party Every Day...   The version to end the anniversary  of my niece passing away..  Would she have liked that being a backing track for this??  Originally I had no idea where to post the video..  posting on her memorial page was an afterthought, but.  And then posting it here while this blog still isn't live and not knowing if or when it might be live...  Oh well.. waste of time but.. Our upload speed is almost light speed now..  I'll do that...

Oriental haze

the photo album mellow version

The song(s) placed to this, had I thought of it this set might have gone to another video last year but I really couldn't think on that project.. I was just lucky to get anything done..  But this is a nice version.. I liked it, the video was done after my uncle had wanted the pictures to this photo album.. I copied them and sent them to him and then held on to them to decide what if anything to do with them..  and then this video happened...  And i was happy for a few hours anyway..

The subject matter of the original video which this is, it was done just a very short time after the birth of Tabitha's twins... Strangely enough this song was revisited again just a little over three years later as part of the memorial to Tabitha at her funeral...  Very sad for that, but in this case as well fairly somber.. I had forgotten about this video.. It was posted at another blog and removed just as that blog was ended and changed and will be getting it's final subject matter in just a few weeks..

Halloween manipulation

This video was done about Halloween time 2015 as a distraction from something that had happened a few weeks prior.. I'm cleaning out the videos from my collection of videos that I have made..  And this is one of a few that will be uploaded here over the next little while..

The coolest gif..

The gif the two videos came from...  AKA how to debone a girl using a laser toy..

Daddy's Going To Heaven Now.. This was a cool sounding song and while it really doesn't fit the subject matter lyric wise, it's still a cool song and I wanted something like this song from the Undead Soundtrack...
