Checking, today, the tomatoes, it's been a couple of weeks and since I've moved the chilis indoors there's been no real reason.
But the tomatoes, they're doing great, everything else, the Basil, Dill, dead dead dead, but the tomatoes, well, I'll get a full basket for dinner tonight.
And the chilis, since putting the grow light on them (underneath, no place to hang the light above); well, I think they're doing better, getting bigger, and I'm noticing more and more of the little green ones just starting out.
In an ideal world I'd have a full-on greenhouse, get this mastered, lights on 24/7, I mean, I could easily sell these for $5 a pepper. Free if you eat it in front of me. But there's other things on the go and I am kinda wishing they'd all fruit and be done with it...

This morning, coffee, library, blog a bit. Buy a grow light. These chilli's are too good to let go to waste. Eat the last of the chowder I made yesterday and then head out Balfour way.
On the bus, a trans-kid I used to work with; in the end up didn't end up transitioning, someplace halfway, back to being a girl, I guess my variety of guy persuaded her to...
She doesn't recognize me, with her boyfriend, meets her "adopted" mom on a mobility device, hardcore drinker, they're chatting away, opening brewskis,...
That's Balfour for you.
I'm on the hunt, all this rain, surely something new and great, but - no, a few flakes over the first hour, but otherwise nada. Then - this:
A broken tip, but it makes for a great day.
And hit the Superette for old-times sake, they still have a reasonable selection of Vodka and spirits, the government strike has decimated the shelves in town, nothing under $50; out here...
Well, pickings still good. Almost always worth the trip...

Now I've referred to this abundantly in the past, but do so again only because I'm trying to redeem myself in the eyes of my daughter, who's come to query my taste in films following "Sisu".
So, in longstanding tradition of families doing inane things over the holidays I'm trying to persuade everyone that "Hobo with a Shotgun" be our Thanksgiving movie.
I mean, it's not particularly upbeat, but it does have it's moments...
The daughter, she's refusing to even watch the trailer.
You can watch it here...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J4xu0CuCOw
Or, better yet, watch this 2 minute scene taken directly from the movie (the Plague): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtAolowtI3c
I suspect she's watched it and is refusing to respond because to do so would mean acknowledging my impeccable taste...

Had this for a few years, English, "Smith's Astral", only wearing it the other day and going to wind it a little further heard a "Spppppprooooong" and that's it. Now it needs service. But, picture of it in better days...
