Not too bad. Too many smaller ones means i planted too close together. I spaced them out more this time around and will add more water and manure.... should come out better.

Trump just said Fuck You to the supreme court decision and to Congress. He signed an order saying he will enact 10%tariffs and can ignore congress.

Who has the power to arrest him for contempt of court?

Pulled these today. Only got through peeling half of the gandule pods. I'll be handing out starfruit to the neighbors.

This is a wing Chung training dummy. Its 50 plus years old. The crack runs down the length of the dummy. It doesn't move, its still very solid, but we would like to seal the crack to avoid further damage.

Our thought wes to use wood shims to fill in the space with wood glue, then use straps or screw down hose fittings to squeeze the dummy together so the glue and shims hold. Then saw off the excess and stain to match color.

Is there a better method or is the above plan stupid? This dummy is special and has history, I just don't want to make it worse.

Update: Thanks for the suggestions. This wood is hard as a rock. I tried a small wood chisel just to see if a butterfly joint was doable and I could barely scratch the thing. I am guessing I couldn't squeeze it tighter around glue and shims either.

Someone mentioned just leave it if its that old....i m thinking I might just do that. I may just fill in the crack them closely watch it for signs of damage as it gets used.

I'm being very careful because this thing has history being used by Dan Inosanto.

That yellow bulb is the remnants of the large flower I had. Am I correct in assuming that is the fruit? It's a slow grower if it is.

IRS now says churches won't lose tax exempt status for political endorsements.

And there it is. The real reason to destroy NOAA and the NHC.

Was able to pick enough for my dinner tonight.

The 1st flower wilted away....see it there in the left. The 2nd flower appeared and is much bigger and healthier. Waiting to see if I get any fruit here.

I have multiple eggplants in pots inside my screens. They are all flowering, but none are producing actual eggplants. Am I missing something?

It's been about 2 weeks since I took the 1st image I posted. This is today. The flower is looking kind of sad. Does this look normal? Does anyone know how to tell if it will fruit up by looking ?
