    If you drive, about 45 minutes east of hell.. As the crow flies,, about 65 miles [that's just a guess] south of Plutonium Valley. Living there would be worse than hell.

    This was the inspiration for the Igloo thread.. It's a pic I took about 2:00pm on a July afternoon. It gets a little hot where I live.

    I'll be 81 in May so I gotta watch for high water. Just the price the well-endowed have to pay..

    The pic of the Raider logo is my next project. It'll be in aluminum, 6"x6" welded to a 2"x2" square aluminum tubing, made to fit a hitch receiver.. I'm thinking loyal Raider fans may buy it. Despite blowing games they had already won.

Changing frozen bottles of water got old fast. Started with a,185-watt LED, ended with the last 2 weeks on a SUN System315. I don't...

    Gravity doesn't move the water both ways.. The only way the water is removed from the water column is when the drip ring pumps it into the grow bucket. The water in the column is not connected to the water in the grow bucket. I guess when you get old you start worrying about your balls sagging...

    If you google, Mixed hydro water culture coco perlite, you'll find a 7-year-old thread that started me with GH hydro waterfarms.. They just didn't have a proper grasp on the best way to move the water.. They quit making Waterfarms.. You can still find drip rings on Amazon.
