pre-OCF update

all panto rehearsals prior to the “dress rehearsal” which has an audience, but happens at the fairgrounds, on thursday, prior to our opening on friday at noon, have been completed, including an “emergency”, last-minute, saturday rehearsal with just the band and king oswald, who hasn’t been as diligent about learning his lines as he has been in the past (😉). it is a fairly decent show, as long as everybody remembers their lines, and their entrances… which, i guess, is about as good as it can get, considering that we’re gearing up for a weekend of performances at the oregon country fair.

i turn 65 at the fair, this year, AND this year will be my 20th fair, which, technically, means that i am doubly eligible for “elder” status. what that means has yet to be fully divulged to me, but my recollection is that there is a separate “elders” booth at registration, and it’s my impression that, if anybody could tell me, they could. 😉 also, this year i actually have a legitimate, legal handicapped placard that is MINE, which SHOULD mean that i get to park closer to the stage than i could in the past… but that has yet to be seen.

most of my list of stuff to bring to the fair has been assembled, and the significant deficiencies are mainly clothing and medication related stuff — and, yes, i include “illegal” drugs such as mushrooms and cannabis in the latter category. 🤓 i’m probably not going to start packing clothes until tuesday evening, before which i intend to do massive amounts of laundry, in hopes of getting enough ahead of it that i can go away for five days without causing problems for monique, later in the week.

despite all this meticulous planning, i am still feeling a sense of unknown dread, because of all of the things i know COULD go wrong. i wish it would go away. 😒

in other news, all three clones are looking like they’re going to make it, which means at least one more round of space queen, eventually, and, potentially, many more. 😉 but i’ve got NINE other plants (two space queen, from last year’s seeds, four starts from darol, and three starts from tracy), all of which are outside, which are doing PHENOMENALLY well, so it looks like i’m well on my way to never having to HAVE to buy weed ever again. and, TECHNICALLY — according to the terms of my permit — i could have three MORE plants without violating any laws. 😎

we live in phenomenally strange times, when weed is legal, but fluoridated water is not. 😵🙄

cannabis, homegrown, nursery, ocf

sslluuuuuurrmm! 🍶

the lights have been hung, and are functional. when i actually start using them (which will be when the clones start to flower), i will buy a new timer, just for them.

i REALLY need to correctly re-wire the whole thing. it is currently the end of a really long extension cord that is plugged into an outdoor GFI next to the deck. it really needs to be on its own circut, and i need to add another 4 outlets OUTSIDE the grow-room NURSERY, for plugging in weed-whacker batteries and suchlike.

i started collecting things on my list of stuff to take to OCF. it took a lot less time than i thought it would to get most of the stuff on the list.
