I used three different chainsaws at work today, and each one repeatedly flipped me shit but worked easily
for everyone else. Now I know what a substitute teacher must feel like.

My iPhone was hallucinating.

It was too early for a run in the hayfield. My legs are on FIRE. 😫
Who out there in the mastoverse has any interest in hydroponic gardening, and/or would be intrigued by a 'tower garden' hydroponic unit that you can assemble really quickly and that can produce two crops a month? (I'm involved in a local thing with some friends who've prototyped a unit and I'll be helping with their crowdfund and stuff).

Good morning, world!

Crawling and squeezing my way into the center of the bamboo stand, saw in hand, I had a vision of getting wedged in and stuck, my contorted skeleton being found years later, bamboo stalks growing through my bones...
I think I’m done for the day.
(Sorry if the caption/photo order got mixed up on this.)
Neglected bamboo, getting some TLC. Photos, first, the crookstem (?) I’m currently working on: finished portion is on the right, unfinished on the left. Next photo, a rare bamboo, “Robert Somethingorother”*, all finished. It’s hard to see the fat shoots growing alongside. All will get a good watering so the foliage will be lush.
*This bamboo has fat stalks that turn golden with random green stripes on the culm rather than the groove. (See photo.)
I can't stress this enough: Adopt older dogs.
The shelter thought that she was around 8 and said "give this sweet girl her retirement home!" Considering that we were first-time dog owners, we thought that a chill dog was what we needed.
She runs circles around us, even after three years. She's never had an accident in the house. She loves kids. She never leaves our sides.
And two weeks after we brought her home, she alerted me that I was going to have a seizure. She still does this.
I’m rehabilitating the bamboo stands neglected by years of renters. Folks, if you are constantly puzzling your cutting tools into a clump to thin, it’s been far too long!
I found several good looking shoots and gave them space. (I only made one “oops” cut.) Even when terribly neglected, bamboo never takes more than 3 yrs to bounce back. In a few weeks, this clump will fill back in better than before.
Now to set the sprinkler on this clump while I start on the others.
I bought a file to sharpen the blade on my pruners so I can start managing the bamboo in the yard.
I’m more excited about having this file, and having sharp blades than I am about getting in the garden and taming the bamboo.
Maybe instead I need to make this day all about getting all the edges around the house wicked sharp: pruners, knives, axes... why does this sound so sexy to me? 😆
My instructor has turned blue in the face telling me it’s impossible, but I used the phrase “THAT DARWIN THING” in a conversation with a PhD, and they knew *exactly* what I meant. 😤

Me: Hold that thought. I have to pee.
