BTW adarq, the internet is being glacially slow now for most websites. except not this one, which is loading normally. any idea why that might be? gmail won't load at all, washington post is hit or miss. the guardian and al jazeera load but slowly. lots of other websites load but without images/media.

EDIT: embeds here like instagram posts don't load.

ah damn weird. glad this site wasn't affected \o/

can always check things like downdetector.com when that happens. first page can give some hints. lots of sites use either aws/azure/gcloud so, if there's something going on with a cloud provider, you'll see the ones which use that provider have similar graphs.

just checking downdetector for instagram, lots of issues reported: https://downdetector.com/status/instagram/

we host on Linode .. which is a simple/less used provider. so if something was going on w/ the big providers, we probably wouldn't feel it.

can also run a quick "ping 8.8.8.8" in a terminal/dos prompt when inet is acting weird .. can just let it run and see if you get any packet loss, which would indicate your connection being messed up.

just ordered a bunch of seeds from johnnyseeds.. excited to grow some of those and see how those develop/produce etc.

this is what i got. would love to step up my bell/jalapeno production BIGTIME. so i'll be trying to grow a bunch of the varieties here, concurrently.









also, blue java banana propagation/repotting:

bw = 138 -> alien mode coming
soreness = calves (left more so), hips slightly (left more so)

farm life yard work:
- 8 hours today
- nuts
- planting/repotting so much stuff .. man this stuff is a good workout. got in a solid "sled drag" with my 30 gallon blue java banana plant, LMFAO:



probably dragged that thing 30 yards total 8|

seemed decently heavy .. alot of dirt in there. apparently it's ~7.8 lb per gallon of dirt.. but then more wet (even up to 15 lb). I potted this thing when it was raining hard so... let's say 30 x 5-10 lb = 150 - 300 lb ? lmfao wtf.

all i know is it was heavy af.

now take that garbage can i filled up... that thing was insanely heavy. could barely move it at all.. it has wheels so i was able to inch worm it into the front yard.

hoping the garbage truck can lift it.... if not, got a little problem on my hands. lol.

anyway.. solid yard work strength workouts this weekend, funny but legit.

damn weird about the knee.. hopefully it's just related to the "nutrition break down". it can be nuts how just a small of derailing diet can cause all kinds of weird (often phantom) stuff to surface. hopefully that's all it is.

Have you guys ever had that hamstring pain when you stretch your quads bringing your heels to butt but when the angle reaches 45 degrees hamstring contracts and stiffs and cramps and you dare not straight your legs as muscle is stiff and will cause more pain then iris until you slowly bend and straight till it goes. Gives me understanding of hamstring tear when sprinting.

So I quickly bring heel so my hams don't have to contract when going slow as hamstring has to stabilise legs when being raised slowly.

It is very tight and painful if I let my legs be bent any opening of the knees and hell breaks loose.

yup i've experienced that many times. for me, it seemed to happen when i had greater quad flexibility or forced the stretch too much, either way resulting in hamstrings/gastrocs coming in "too much" contact. almost like it just "cramps up" being in that position. the after effects could linger for a few days, or even a week or more.

i think for me, when that happened, it would tweak the "popliteus" muscle. Could be what's happening for you.. not good to tweak that muscle.. it can cause all kinds of issues and knee instability.

some weird chain of events could be happening, ie similar to what FDL said .. something contracting in that position and causing a problem.

pretty sure we're talking about the same thing.



i've been back on the no-stretching boat for the last 6 months, feel really good. plan to stay here.

be careful with it!

"johnny's selected seeds"

bw = 138
soreness = calves alot (left more so), quads slightly, hamstrings barely

activity:
- 6 hours of yard work
- not what i had planned.. started harvesting peppers and then got pissed at how much "bacterial leaf spot" i was seeing.. so threw out ~15 plants and moved ~10 into quarantine. fucking sux.
- will probably need to throw those out next week.. i also have to throw out the dirt & net pots. plastic pots i can re-use after i sterilize them a bit.
- some stressful stuff with farm life.. just hoping that i eventually figure it out and make it nice and smooth. love picking my own veggies.. hates dealing w/ pests and bacteria/fungal attackers.
- garbage can i filled up must have been 200-300 lb.. one of those enormous cans, packed with dirt/plans. could barely move it.. was a sled drag workout. had to be careful.

i think the bacterial leaf spot came from some "bonnie plants" transplants i bought. pretty much ALL of those plants have come down with it.. so they probably already had it. brutal.

plan is to just keep growing stuff form seed and get really good at keeping my stuff CLEAN.



3 lb harvest:
