Nah, the real trick is burying the body deep deep, then burying a dead animal a few feet above it. Corpse Dog hits, but they dig up a sheep, Lt. Scruffins ain't gettin a treat

Nice

Whoa, hold the fuck up: I'm not sitting through a three and a half hour seminar for anything

One of folk's favorite things to hit me with: but you're so young! Like, first off, I'm 40's, I just try to take care of myself. Second, yes my knees hurt and my back is sore because I've been doing all this stuff since I was a kid, but tell me again how hard it's been on your back to sit in a chair for hours. Third, these same people are the people that hire me to do jobs they couldn't handle because reasons (that usually match my own reasons for grunting and wincing all day, but self awareness is a diminishing resource).

I am growing into a bitter old fuck and I'm not a fan of my attitude these days. I'm trying to keep it down, but man I tell you, I am so sick to death of people and their petty nonsense. And I know I'm no saint or ubermensch, but I'm getting out there and doing shit. Running a business that helps farmers, digging my own garden, practicing my skills, networking and getting new gigs. It's hard work and with this world of convenience we've built for ourselves, I find fewer folks willing to get to it. Which is great for my own bottom line, but the commentary always seems to come from a place of ignorance with these guys and I'm within a hair's breadth of calling at least one client a dumb mother fucker.

Sorry, didn't mean to rant at you, but I feel you. I broke my leg right at the knee joint when I was 18 and I've never gotten full function back out of it. Took like three years to get rid of the limp. It hurts all the time but at least I got a nice big surgery scar to point at and shut folks down. I'm sorry you gotta go through this. It's not fair, especially considering how willing you are to pitter patter and how good you are at it.

Just, like, watch the pills. I come from one of those little mountain communities that got eaten alive by the Sackler's ambition. I seen plenty of good, hard working folks turn into junkies so some slick corporate prick can afford the second home he uses to fuck his mistress

I'm gonna go plant something

Thanks for the advice. I've tried coffee grounds, essential oils, copper wire, it all does little to stop the slime trails. The snails, tho... I may have to look into that. I worry about backing myself into the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly corner, but something's gotta give

Just remember: a whiskey makes you risky, but a glizzy makes you rizzy

Yeah, dude. Gotta kick your feet up. I did a french drain over two days last week. Starting eating ibuprofen just to keep my hands from swelling up. Your shit can knit itself back together, but not without a nap. You cleared a milestone. Don't let the fidget drive!

They do help break things down, but unlike most helpful bugs they prefer the produce. I have just never seen them like this. We usually have to take countermeasures against them every year, but this year is we're just swamped.

I'm gonna do some work out there this weekend. Think I'm gonna get aggressive with the DE because I think I'm also having some trouble with woodlice. Do some tactical earth salting around the beds

See, now there's a good silver lining. Glad my sacrifice wasn't in vain

Nice work, dude. You really been busting your ass out there and it looks great

An evocative image that truly captures a genuine facet universal to the gem of human experience, for in the gulf between every one of us lies some kind of weird ghost thing fuckin up the steez
