carrier pigeon?

i've never seen one of the creatures in person,
but other day one flew into the shop
and was scoping the joint out for a couple of hours.
this shitty photo was taken from the ground, the bird was
15-20 feet up, so i had to crop the photo.
all of the pretty little colors
like green, purple, white etc were comprimised
when i shot the photo.
but these birds are amazing. look it up.
racing pigeons / carrier pigeons
notice the green colored band around this birds ankle.



heres a photo some dude getting one ready for flight -
carrying some some gun powder to some troops
a hundred miles away!

Huh

Hit the streets for the first time today in a while.. too long of a long while.
Started off when I found an oldie for 6 dollars. Got motivated danced with my dog and thought, hey, a new board would be nice...and wheels! Just started pushing, remembering what cracks felt like and the effort it takes to get through some spots and that I always have to be aware. Mert almost got run over and had this board about an hour then he hovered his board over a chain. Sometimes, I don't show my stokededness in person, but this is pretty high and it's a chain so the hang up factor is high. We got chased off, i mean, we leisurely skated away from a security guard at an ice cream shop with a nice bump that I was relearning how to ollie on. Had some beers and then had a serious 3" curb slappy session with some random like minded old dudes at another spot. Some jock asked what kind of trucks we were rocking. Had some more beers, put some future armor on my shins and pushed home to the fam. Good times!

research / documentaries

 anonymous asked a while ago 'howd the rest of yer crop turn out' or something
well anonymous, thing is im still growing non stop like some kinda gardening demon
this year i started out with my spotlight crops being corn and beans..
and have been successful so far, and have learned alot especially regarding corn.
even though i still managed to do it mostly wrong, i still produced some corn and still
harvesting, but im about to pull it and start a pumpkin patch in the spot where my corn is growing now.
anyway, enough talk. lets get down to business.


right below was another failure, i was trying to grow big table sized purple onions
but instead i produced these little bite sized beautys. oh well, pretty sure it was the depth
i planted that caused this. purple headed monster.
 been studying the mayan technique of maize hanging, below is a sad attempt to
copy their way of doing this with some pre mature white and yellow cobs.

i learned along time ago how to grow cucumbers,
heres some of this years produce.
im a cucumber master.

vines. in typical turd fashion.
using old trampoline parts and welded wire.

my oldest son though i needed bling, so he went and
won me a watch out of 'the claw'
when i wear this makes me feel like i got dolla bills

this yellow corn is so sweet
here is my showcase.

growing jungle fruit as usual. this is necessary for survival.
this time im growing two plants on the back porach
i think i will do this every year, keeps cut worms to a minimum and
the critters at bay.

homegrown pablano stuffed w/rice n broccoli and a corn fresh out of the patch.
c'mon 


jalapenos like always, a must for the turd diet.
this concludes todays post. every now and then i must be serious
i know its not what most readers want to read about here
but deal with it. since im getting old and everything
its stuff like this that is therapeutic to me
and seems to be one of my favorite things to learn about and do.
and making post about it helps me with my writing skills,
which i know needs improvement.

also i get inspiration from other peoples gardening,
so sometimes i give back - maybe this will be inspiration for other folks
to grow their own food too.
