A couple Miyazaki A5 ribeyes

They were from a 9lbs ribeye roast I got for my 40th. I never broke down a roast but I separated the spinalis from the eye, separated the rib meat, and separated the fat. I vacuum sealed everything separately. I got an A4 strip steak that I used for a practice cook. This was my first time cooking A5. I used a ripping hot cast iron skillet and a little sea salt.

Saved this boy from going to the pound. Update

1 year ago I posted about my supposed Texas Heeler, Rupert. If I didn’t take him, he was headed for the pound. He’s literally the best dog I’ve ever had and fits in with the house extremely well. In that post I had people requesting updates and dms. So here it is.

A couple months after this post Rupert has made an unlikely friend, Russell. I found Russell underneath a car in November in Michigan. It was 22 degrees below freezing and there sat this little kitten that was around 5 weeks old. I live far out in the country so someone had to have dropped the kitten off in the ditch.

They are completely inseparable now. I’ve never seen a bond like this between animals let alone a cat and dog, it’s truly beautiful and I wanted to share it! Does anyone else’s Heeler or ACD bond with cats like this?

Best guess on yield?

I’m aware there’s no real way to know. This is more for fun to see who’s closest with their guess. How much weight do you think these girls with end up producing? The raised bed is 5 foot long and 2.5 feet in width.

Help!! I messed up.

I messed up and read the label wrong. I’m using farmers choice flower bloom booster and I put 3 tablespoons instead of 3 teaspoons in 5 gallons of water and fed the girls with it. That’s almost 4x what I was supposed to use. I can’t really flush because of my set up, there’s not really any drainage, see the pic. What should I do? Or am I just screwed?

Gave my girls a haircut today.

The first picture is when I put them in the ground and the second picture is today. It’s been exactly 2 months since they’ve been in the ground. Then a haircut and a bud picture.

How much worse can it get?

I was diagnosed with perianal crohns with fistulas and fissures, back in February. I’ve already had two surgeries and 3 trips to the ER from complications, one of which landed me in the icu for 3 days.

I just got the results back from my endoscopy and they don’t seem good but I haven’t had my follow up yet.

The results are upper GI crohns with chronic duodenitis,focal ulceration, and focal villous atrophy.

Has anyone else dealt with any of this? What’s it mean for me? I was told my perianal is advanced and complicated.

Today’s tough

I’ve been sober from alcohol for 37 days today. This is the longest I’ve gone since I was a teenager and I’m now 40. I was to the point of drinking 10-16 drinks a day for around 10 years. I quit cold turkey and I’m not in any type of recovery. How I didn’t have serious withdrawals is beyond me but I’m thankful. That’s just a back story.

Today and yesterday have been insanely tough, out of no where. Every gas station I pass I want to stop and get some tall boys. It’s consuming my mind right now but I’m holding strong and trying to sidetrack myself. I know it’s a tough journey and I know I’ll have tough days but damn…

With that being said I’m proud of myself for making it this far and I plan on being proud of myself tomorrow too.

I don’t know if I’m just venting right now or why I’m saying this here, guess it just felt good to get it out.

Toxic erythema/scalded skin like symptoms. A week and a half out.

I just got out of the hospital. I went septic with toxic shock and toxic erythema/scalded skin syndrome like symptoms. My face became very red and burned like it was being melted. It was awful.

I am a week and a half out of the hospital and my face is still red, dry, peeling, itchy, and a very mild burn occasionally. Petroleum jelly makes it significantly worse. It burns to a painful level.

My question is has anyone else dealt with anything like this? What other barrier creams work? Aquaphor also makes it more red and burns. I read about La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+. Seems like it could be promising.

Skin infections with Crohns?

I am diagnosed with perianal Crohns with fistula’s and fissures. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago but lived undiagnosed for about 18 years. I got what seems to be a skin infection on my left buttocks. It put me in the hospital last New Year’s Eve. That wasn’t the first time I had the infection in the exact same spot. Now I have it starting again and am on the way to the ER.

My question is, has anyone had any Skins issues around that area that is Crohns related? I was told my diagnosis is pretty advanced and more complicated than usual.

Got a late start

I didn’t put them in the ground until June29th the last pic is from today. So a little less than 3 weeks of growth. I plan on starting my tie down this weekend.

Question is what’s everyone’s opinions on the plastic LST clips you can buy and put right on the branches? Are they worth it?

11 day difference.

I got them in the ground really late in the year but they seem to be taking off well. From the first pic to the third it’s 11 days. In the third pic it’s already been topped.

My question is I’m seeing some of the leaves are getting chewed up. I’ve seen one really really small grey caterpillar on it and that’s it. What should I do about these invisible eaters?
