Good gig last night. Speaker rig was one of the more impressive ones I've heard for DnB, pretty much custom built for the genre. Pretty rare to hear it that loud with clarity which was nice.

Shitload of security though. Probably a legal requirement, but there were security dudes standing on boxes in each corner just watching the d-floor. Not really the sort of music that attracts trouble but I guess it'd make a few people feel safer.

Got home at about 1:30am to hambam sitting at the front door waiting for me with sad eyes :( Felt bad so cooked him up some mince to make it up to him.

Edit: and he's been staring at me all morning:

Off to a gig tonight at the croxton. 3 hand built nose bleed decibel speaker systems. Two playing in synch in one room which will be dub / reggae, another system playing DnB / jungle. Don't normally fork over $40 unless it's a DnB international but these guys spend an inordinate amount of coin and time on these things so it's worth it just to keep the scene alive.

Also hambams on his walk / run today ran into a mum and her kid (probably 3yo). He was so gentle w/ her. He might not be all there upstairs at the dog park but around the very young kids he changes and is very mindful. So credit to hams.

I was gonna say build a frame for it but 2.3m x 1.8m is huge lol might be an effort.

I think the fear is mold heh. Spend so much time and all it takes is one sneaky little chilli to rise to the surface and can ruin the batch.

Yea same thing.

i guess with chilli there are more things that can go wrong along the way which would be good for learning imo.

Getting close to the end of the 2 chilli ferments. Seems to be doing its thing correctly, good bubbles, cloudy brine no mold etc.

Always crazy to think it takes almost a year from seed to bottle. I think if I had kids it would definitely be an effective learning activity as it covers everything from soil, nutes, plant life cycle and biology, pests diseases management, science w/ fermenting / food safety. Had that to an extent at uni but had to pull things together from different subjects (mostly out of books) without anything unifying or an end goal. This process knocks a whole lotta shit over in one.

Soap. Solvol.

Gonna post some cool shit at aunt's place.

10ft high fig in the shower and another in the living

I think the ball kicking for doggo has caught up with me. Funnily enough it's the upper back / neck that's feeling it.

But I will find appropriate drugs.

The ball kicking must and will continue.

Edit: Ran into the vets' sister walking past clinic yesterday. She thought hambam was 12yrs old because how slowly he was walking after the park sesh. He's like 3 or 4yrs old. Bit of an indictment on his fitness lol.
