82 fucking degrees today... went to pick up the Wife and talked to her manager for a sec, and handed him his drink I picked up, and I'm like "bro it's 80 fucking degrees!" And he's like "I know, it's so awful out there" and I'm like "there's fucking people who LIKE this shit...ate lead paint chips as babies, and now they're like oh I'm good go lay on a beach in Florida and listen to fucking ABBA!" Lol.
I realized that wearing jeans and neoprene boots, that I get resting bitch face when it gets warm.
No weed until we got back either. But now, I'm higher than my cholesterol, and got the AC set to 64 degrees, and have a tee shirt and basketball shorts on for PJs! U of M shorts if you're curious.
I'm also realizing that 1 Blue Cheese X Blueberry Muffin, then a Dead Whabbits, then another Blue Cheese X Blueberry Muffin has been fantastic for my mood. Lol.
We have some storms supposed to move through too, so tomorrow, I think we're going to look for Morels again. This higher humidity, rain, and heat, should kick those up a notch.
Have a great night everyone
stay in school, smoke Cheese, or whatever that great advice was haha.

I knew I was in trouble when the very nice service guy got there, after he got my drain opened.
He then put a camera down into it.
He got up, and then asked me, *is this a forever home, for you folks?*
*well, yeah, we had 12' added to the back side of our home a few years ago now, that we dubbed our aging in place project*.
We knew the facts, going into this, we have a 65 year old, house, and a maple tree that was planted in the front yard as a sapling as they built it.
I'm standing, and he shows me what the cam was seeing, I could see roots start around 31" from the house, to 70" .
He said your open now, but I have no idea how long that will last.
So, we talked to our builder, as to who he knows , and to gather up some prices for a yard scarring adventure.
Loved your comments, a good laugh, brings you up!!

I'm jealous, never got above 50 degrees here, rained all day though so that's a plus, buds on trees and plants are starting to swell up pretty big. Seen a cherry tree with blossoms the other day. Going to start putting plants out soon. They use the cooler weather to build up roots and when it gets hot, they really take off.82 fucking degrees today... went to pick up the Wife and talked to her manager for a sec, and handed him his drink I picked up, and I'm like "bro it's 80 fucking degrees!"

Good memories growing up as a kid thinking about all the things I’d like to get up to with the ABBA babes .
I’ve had the combustion heater fired up last week onwards so our version of winter is approaching. My daily routine of sweeping up a wheelbarrows worth of leaves around the yard is in full swing .
The compost pile is ready for its buffet 👍🏼
I don’t mind winter . The warm fire , football is back and the calm days with no prevailing summer sea breeze winds make for just kicking back and chillin for a few months .
I might even play a little ABBA as a tribute to my old mate Billy O
While procrastinating the decision you can use stump killer as a drain treatment. Generally won't harm the tree. 65 years to me says PVC and IDK if they can run a sleeve but that's an option I've heard of for clay.

I had similar a couple years ago when a massive Date Palm intruded into our wet areas drain pipe and caused me some grief . Luckily it wasn’t under the foundation and although still cost me a bit with replacing pipe work wasn’t as painful as your situation .
I have two of those massive palm running down the south side of my house and about 10 years ago when they were developing new housing land near our Marina they scouted the town for established Palms to relocate to this new development. I had a leaflet dropped in the letterbox asking if I’d like to sell the two palms for $5000 each so $10000 and they’d come and remove , clean up etc .
I declined but have kind of regretted it in the years following .
They do look great but they’re also a nesting ground for rats and pruning the buggers is always a joy when one of those nasty needles on the fronds makes it way into part of me .
I hope it’s not too painful an event mate and things get back on track soon 👊🏻

They are certainly unique people from the ones I’ve met . One was my Skipper on a fishing boat when I was in my twenties . We were hauling in a Shark net with hydraulics and he got his finger trapped under a rope with extreme tension on it . I literally watched the last centimetre or so of his finger pop off and fly out into the water .
Straight up I’m thinking fucking hell , that’s gotta hurt big time . The tough old bastard went inside the wheelhouse and wrapped a tissue around it with electrical tape and a moment later was back on deck working the fishing gear again .
Big respect for his resilience to pain !
My brother and I were on the Whiskey with him one night at his place while the wife was away which is a good thing . We used to call her Battle Axe Bev because she thought she knew everything and loved to argue the point .
Anyway we are all drunk as skunks and then my brother pulls out the bong . Old Viking was about 65 from memory and all of a sudden said hey I’ll try one of them . I’ve never smoked pot in my life .
I think we all know what happens when you mix weed with excessive alcohol but let it be . Let the man have his moment.
A couple hours later he’s still sitting on the shower floor and we are shitting ourselves thinking we gotta get him right before Battle Axe gets home .
Was a night to remember. He’s passed on now and I do miss the old fella .
Every year I run my main for roots. Skipped a couple yrs when I first moved in and had the washer flood the basement some. Have it done every yr since then, I stay in their calendar. Lol
If ya stay up on it every year the roots don't get a chance to destroy the pipe. They get hacked off before they get big enough to f shit off.
Also have mine camera scoped every couple of years to keep an eye on shit. Literally. Lol

Yeah, VodkaCoffee shoulda been my first clue.
One night, blizzarding, he misses a turn, we launch off the end of the T and duff into snow up over the headlights.
Three of us in the car. Doors wont open, but we escaped through the back windows.
We fashioned a lovely cairn out of beer cans, to let any passers by know where we left the road.
No choice but to shelter in place, so we had to spend the night in the car.
Bastard wouldn't give up the keys, so I stayed up all night in fear that he would start the car and snuff us all out.
First light, we make a plan to start heading in the direction of the nearest homestead. I tell them I am going alone, as I am the only one dressed near anything close to appropriately.
,,, Mama taught me well, I got a parka and a toque.
Friendly argument, and some grandstanding ensues.
He concludes the debate by saying "Jewels, you are obviously ignorant to the superpowers of the foil blanket ! "
Nord #1 takes off his T-shirt, and Nord #2 proceeds to cap it over his head like a bandana.
Shirtless Nord #1 ties the foil blanket around his neck- like a cape ,,, and off we went !
Folks hear the word 'Chinook' and would assume that we had a nice walk.
Romantically, Chinook translates into 'snow eater'
Realistically, Chinook means 10 Celsius warmer than yesterday, and the wind is blowing five times as hard.
By the time we arrive, Superman's torso is as red as his hair. The next Farmhouse/available phone is easily another 3 hours walk away, so we need to get this right on the first shot.
I was afraid they would not open the door to our superhero, so we stashed him in an out-building and I took the two shirt'd Nord to the door, in order to garner empathy.
Being in the Bible belt, I got the reception I expected. Buddy's skullcap may as well have "Rape Loot and Pillage" stenciled on it. Eventually, they reluctantly agreed to let me use the phone, and promptly sent us on our way.
Tits in the breeze, he walks back to the car like conquering Hero.
12 hours late, we restock and join the party.
"SuperNord", stayed in costume for the rest of the weekend.

Peppers would really hate it, but most other plants should be fine -- including cannabis. 😉
I've got a couple of dead whabbits that made the cut and will be repotted soon. Got any tips for growing DW? They have not been heavy feeders so far...

I do believe @santero made those and is floating around here. @Psychobilly ran some last year. They might have some help.

I hate the part where they go “smile at the camera “ or ok for you Billy “ Cheeeeese” and then they pause for what seems like minutes while your holding this stupid grin on your face that looks like your last fart was a little more moist than expected . Just take the Fn pic would you !

Mate that was an epic tale to tell . I could picture them nords as well trudging along like it’s no big deal and hypothermia only affects the weak .
Imagine if cell phones with cameras were around growing up and captured half the stupid shit we got up to . Maybe it’s a good thing being half would be incriminating.
I went wood cutting today with my brother and mentioned that night we sat him on his ass in the shower and his de capping of his finger .
He said yep and you know what he did a couple weeks later ? He chopped the tip off the same finger on the other hand when he dropped a deck hatch down on it . Nice way to even things up I guess .
He also reminded me of the day he was driving down the jetty and ran over someone’s dog accidentally snuffing it . He looked around then quickly jumped back onboard his boat with the dead dog and shoved it in the boats freezer . Later that day when they were at sea he gave it a burial at sea Nordic style .
He absolutely loved what he called his Coffee doctor . Basically as you described but with Whiskey as the prime mover .
In his youth when he was drunk he fell over and did a bit of mischief to one of his eyes causing a bit of nerve damage . Every time he’d get drunk that same eye with every drink would start to scrunch up into this squinty little peephole that looked like he was looking into the sun .
My dad was one of the last to go from that era .
To me they were the real deal . Tough uncompromising resilient fishermen that carried no one . I learnt very quickly as a kid that if I wanted to go to sea then I’ll get no concessions except for my strength in performing duties being only 11 .
The crew I’m sure hated me initially as I was grovelling around inside the boat seasick and chucking my guts up everywhere. Took me 2-3 weeks to rid myself of it . Some never do .
Great memories though . It played a major influence in my life in shaping me .
