Looks a little sick. Has it been tested?

I’m so confused..... if you don’t have a picture of a truck, I’m sure a motorcycle is the next best thing!

It's not hoarding NOR panic buying if you are actually low on supply, you normally only buy an 8-pack but all they have is the 24-pack

& 2 minutes later they are completely out

Did you see the return to launch site landing a few minutes later?

We saw it start to descend but soon lost it in the blue sky. We were also watching and listening to the command center simulcast on our cellphone so we saw it touch down via the phone. A few seconds after that we heard a sonic boom.

I'm about 200 miles away and just saw the vapor trail cutting across the sky. The last time they did a night launch I had a good view.

I used to live on VAFB in the early 70's. Minutemen were a dime a dozen, but the Titans were real ground shakers.

interesting phenomenon in the southwest of Virginia. if you're driving I81 South from Roanoke, VA past Claytor Lake, you will come to the junction of I77

by staying on I81 SOUTH, you will also be travelling on I77 NORTH

while the geographic direction you are going is actually WEST (compass in lower right)

Do they have one of those rest stops with marbles that roll uphill?
Asking for a friend.

no, we only have "interesting" or "odd" phenomena... nothing "FREAKISH!"

Last home grown tomato of 2020...

I'm guessing you had an unusually long growing season to be just picking the last tomato in Massachusetts. Ours quit a few weeks ago in NC.

Between having removed a bunch of mfer tall white pines that had overgrown the garden 90-something feet up, and this being a drought year with an exceptional (if not brutal) number of 100% sunny days from May to the end of the season, we did have a stellar year in the veggie garden that took us well into October.

But, that last dude was picked green along with about of dozen of its siblings on the last harvest day/first hard frost warning and allowed to ripen. They were quite good to the last...

Cheers!

Our first frost is forecast for Thursday so I have to figure out what I am doing with my peppers before then...

 

[day_trippr]

Freeze 'em! The Spousal Unit put up a crapton of sweet greens and reds, and a bunch of cubanelles, bananas and poblanos (we stopped with the jalas and habs 'cuz she just can't take their heat ) She's pretty much filled what space was left in my hop freezer...

Cheers!

Most of the peppers themselves are probably going into fermented sauce. The question is if/how I try to over-winter the plants.
I think my options are:
1. Tent them
2. Bring indoors. I already have a sun-lamp for our budgies but there isn't much more room in that corner.
3. Start fresh in March

Edit: Didn't mean to go OT - I could have swore this was the tomato/pepper thread!

 

[day_trippr]

Do you think it actually makes sense to try to get another season out of pepper plants?
Never occurred to me. We always plant fresh plants obtained from some farming friends in town...

Cheers!

Lynx. Extreme close-up style...

Big feet on that kitty

that's a nice telephoto lens for the lynx!

Actually I believe that kitty was just outside the photographer's window. I'll ask next time we chat...

Cheers!

So I guess your next brew will involve sweet peppers. Who's got some recipe suggestions?

 

[day_trippr]

I think if I was going to use any of our peppers it'd have to be the poblanos as prying the others away from The Spousal Unit might have undesirable consequences

Cheers!
