Dallas Denny

Still one of my favs.... DD

Safe travels and PF wishes to all!!! DD

Hi Pos We have another board member from the Netherlands by the name of Oscar....if you'll search posts by him, I think you'll find answers to most of your questions DD

Wishing Gods speed and safe passage to all in the path of this storm!!! DD

Correct on colonization Spiny....the other term in this equation is "consolidation". After the jar reaches 100% colonization ( the portion of the cake we observe thru the jar), it takes another week for the mycelium to consume the inner part of the cake.... Consolidation.... IMHO, you'll be better off leavin em in the jar an xtra week vs the contam risks of birthing early.....the worst that can happen is they will start pinning in the jars....just pick em off after birthing and then dunk and roll as usual. Dry what you pick off as usual and put em in yer medicine pouch!! DD

Have a good one birthday boy!! Burn one down for me!! DD

So nice to read your post Ting!! You go girl!! DD

Indeed bb!!!! Very nice!!! DD

Ditto!!! Yeeeee Hawwwww!! DD

My experience is that you'll find far fewer side effects with that choice as well cap'n.....good luck!! DD

Nah Brew....that's Texas "roadkill chili meat" on the hoof.... ....Cindy, I have no earthly idea what Dan is talkin about..... .....Dan, just stuff the sticky bud in yer sock.......shouldn't be a problem....so long as ya don't get caught!! LMAO!!! Get ready Vegas!! Here we come!!! DD

Toostrike Just find a welding supply near you....tell em you need a large tank of welding ox....they probably won't ask, but if they do, tell em a friend is letting you borrow his cutting torch but his O2 tank got stolen....Don't let em know you intend to breathe it!!! Rental rates depend on your location....in the Dallas area I paid a $150 deposit, $6/mo leases, and $21 per refill for an M size tank DD

Welcome CHK Puerto Rican is a fairly reliable strain but any of the "cubies" will do. For a refresher course, watch the " let's grow mushroom" series on YouTube by RR videos. Good luck! DD

Lol Jeebs!! Talk about feelin old, the last (and only) time is was in Vegas was around Sept of 66, about 30 days before I shipped out to Nam....I had just turned 19 and was in Marine uniform....they let me in the casinos and let me drink but wouldn't let me play the slots!!! Old DD

Sittin on ready, rockin on go!!! Arriving at the airport around 3pm Thurs afternoon.....can't wait to see some old friends again, meet some old friends in person for the first time, and meet some new friends!!!! Very nice to see that BostonHeadacheDoc will be presenting this year!!! Yeeee Feckin Hawwwwww!!!! DD

Being in attendance at the long awaited event of Ron and Hipshot finally meeting in person is everything I imagined it would be!!! Lmao!!! More tomorrow when it will hopefully not be quite as messed up at Denny's! DD

I agree girl....great read!! DD

Welcome to the community Nick....sorry ya had the need to find us!! Other board members will be along shortly to answer questions 2 and 3..... ....as to your first, getting weld ox is simple and cheap!!! You can get a welding O2 regulator at harborfreight.com for around $50 delivered.....the Opti2mask is available on our sister site, CH.com .....costs relating to obtaining a cylinder of welding O2 varies by lacale it seems.....this past cycle I got a bottle at a welding supply near Dallas.....had to pay a $150 deposit on one tank, $6/month lease, and $21 per refill......my last cycle ran 5 months and I used a little less than 4 1/2 tankfuls....under $100 to abort well over 100 hits in less than 10 minutes in most cases!!! Don't let the welding supply dude know you intend to breathe the O2!!!!! In most cases they aren't going to ask you any other question than what size cylinder you want ( I think the size designation you want is "M" but not absolutely positive of that), the one you want is about 8" in diam and maybe 4 1/2 ft tall (this is a standard size for a full sized oxy/cetelyn welding rig) Welcome Home!! Dallas Denny

Well, then. Too Fecking funny!!!! LMAO!!!

Spiny, you are neither wrong, nor are you being duped!! I met Ari and his partner Dr John Halpern at the clusterbusters conference in Portland and they ARE the real deal!! DD

As my wife pointed out to me last evening Hipshot!! Just got off the phone with Ron and the date will now be May 4th!! Sorry folks....just wasn't thinkin....I promise this will be the last change!!!! DD

G'mornin y'all!! Several folks who wanted to attend had scheduling conflicts....so, we're gonna bump the date up a week to the weekend beginning May 11th. The casino hotel is outrageously expensive I've been told, so just checked the Best Express Inn....some smoking rooms available, just across the hywy from the casino, rates are 79.95 a nite.....and the maguson hotel.... Just south of the casino, no smoking rooms, same rate for a single queen and 89.95 for a double queen. Neither of them would give us a discount for multiple room bookings. Both places are about 5 miles from our place. There are several motels at the Morton St exit in Denison which would be about 15 miles away. Lookin forward to seein everyone soon!! Spoke to Michael on the phone when I called Ron this past week and he is stoked about the opportunity to meet some more clusterheads!!! DD

Hi ya'll A quick google search told me it was time to start searching our woods for wild white and black Morel mushrooms after last weeks heavy rains....picked about 5 lbs yesterday and another 2 lbs this morning ($30 per lb retail if you can find them and Paul Stamets gets $12.95 for an oz of em dried!!!) Last nite we ate some sauteed in butter, and this afternoon we sliced several, dipped them in egg and then rolled em in cracker crumbs and deep fried em in peanut oil.....mmmmmm!!! DD

Uh oh!!! Danny boy ain't gonna like this Ron!!!

He's willin to travel to Colo, NM, Ark, Tex, and anywhere in Okie land for his base price cabin but I'm sure you could talk him into spending a few months in Tennessee jeebs!! Lol!! Only 10 weeks from today my friend!! Lookin forward to seein you and Mike again!! GrannyB's tryin to talk Lenny into comin last I heard!! DD
