Good news!

I finally got a job! Training starts tomorrow it's likely to be part time which sounds like I'll still have plenty of time for OUTHER things too! Compared to the time I had last year I'll be glad to be part time and Id I get more hours then awesome just can't go mad it's server and 3rd shift and all my tips are mine! That's gonna be odd for me lol 


It's from last night but there's the seedlings yup a few more dying but seems most are doing great or better I knew Id be buying some plants seems ever more I'll buy but meh the fruit is worth it

What an eventful day!

First I am woken by a cat moaning with a clatter like with it quick enough I figure she is stuck to a glue trap (have I mentioned I hate those things?!) then I can't get back to sleep so I decide I wanna fill my tyres while we're on our way out well Mom decides 6am is too early for that! "It makes too much noise" or some such we agree once we get to the first stop I will 

WELL at the first stop the first tyre cap is on so well I have to pull out plyers to twist yup the caps ruined a couple ask if I need help its a nice area that's certain I was able to get all but 1 and on that one when I was pulling the nozzle from the compressor out I would think its the stem but they say it's the tpms that came out completely! Caused the tyre to go flat so we had to get that sorted luckily I had my copy of the aaa card with they let my use and renew from my moms card all that she was there so not too much a loss when the guy got there (quickest EVER! 45 min is normal was like 5 min!) she took carson for a walk and after he swapped to the doughnut and dropped the car kinda violently (it was jacked well I may be slightly exaggerating it didn't bounce or that) when we went to put the flat tyre in the trunk jen FREAKED and ran out the back of the car luckily she ran right over twards carson and CRAPNAV I was kinda stunned he said he had the tyre so I grabbed a leash I knew was right there and went to get her hooked to it -- it was also a fun project to get my doughnut out! Had to move everything to get under to yup lol even rigged some 550 to act like another set of hands--but after hooking jen with where the car was she refused to get in I truly think she is afraid of the doughnut Maby even the reg tyre too so I ended up walking her a couple blocks away at which she was fine getting in the car (I woulda hated to have to left her there she is a special pup to me truly one of a kind) 

Just got kicks here's a couple pics 


There's the flat 


How one of the tyres normally look (yes me in shadow no not pretty lol) and my compressor (multipack thing lol) next to it after only 2 tyres it said 95% battery started 100% 


What there calling the tpms that one didn't have a cover on so I don't know if that contributed to the break or not 


And an example of how the tyres look in talking to one of the many people I called (get there later) I know the car is a 2010 I think it was sold late in 09 so they were pretty new it had 60k miles on it when I got it after it sat for 8 months including winter they didn't do anything with the timing belt at all! They also called rutine maintence a waste of money with that being said is it a suprise the tyres were splintery like that? Cracked the first time I got a look is it any SUPRISE they didn't know the xm was active the whole time it sat on there lot?! It's at about 82k miles now I don't think 22k miles will ruin it that much but if you want to know what we did you can see --anywho the data I was able to work out is those tyres are from 2011 which means the previous owner swapped them somewhat quickly after a year or 2 

Fun? Still following? Kinda? After aaa changed the tyre we went to a wallmart that was nearby luckily had a tyre and lube they were the one to call it a tpms and give some info we did a little pricing there found some fun stuff like a 10 buck chance that didn't work but we're still helpful --after pricing tyres because given the condition new are in order anyway the first call was to the Kia dealer where I learned new tyres have silica in them which is great in the summer but in the winter it gets hard and dosent work well at all I feel the more I talk to and work with them the more I like them I call 5-7 total places find out Thursday tyres are going on sale someplace also that I have better then normal rating requirements for tyres most are "t" my car needs "h" and that's as much as I get there lol 

Back to wallmart? They have a flat repair thing for 10 bucks they try to fix the stem and it looked like they attempted to put a new sensor or something like it on at that time the doughnuts speed limit (50-60 mph which is normal for doughnuts) was bugging my mom so we elected to try the flat repair as far as I saw 10 bucks to try to get something back it turned out it failed so what he did was put a normal non tpms stem in so the tyre would atleast hold air let us get where we were going and such just car says a tpms is missing which I think doing that much no charge was really nice of them! I still have the sensor as well atm it's in with the car 

Excitement enough? For me? Nope! Another thing that happened was while at the pet store I was trying to get jen to pop her head on the counter look up there she wouldn't so much then suddenly she decided to jump up there I noticed she was like halfway up the jump onto the counter I pulled back on the leash she came back down me Mom and lady at register there were direct witnesses to it were kinda laughing the person at the register says that it was awesome and commented that jen didn't even look phased by it --well given her day (the tyre change) I would hope that would be the least of her concerns lol even now what I recall kinda funny esp as I know that counter was nothing for her to clear 

And that's only the 2 biggest things! Lol 


After getting home I decided to take a look at my seedlings and looks like some are going hit/miss its been about the last month ive been hearing that we would clean stuff to move them "tomorrow" but I said im not foolish enough to think they will all survive however that DOSENT stop me from hoping they do 


And in the event they EVER do get moved im gonna throw superhots/peppers in there they will likely spend there first year of life inside Id they grow with poor conditions they should be more tolerant of them my goji has had full sun and tons of loves its inside and only barely limping along but once our average last frost or saying a week lows above 45 then my big pots are going back outside where they "belong" 

Well that's the plans for now with the garden stuffs

Seedlings

Got some good news so I hope but first my seedlings I planted them about last month and quite a few have first true leaves showing!  It's quite exciting! 


That pic is actually from yesterday (panorama mode) 





Somewhat closer 


Look closely you'll see some true leaves in these 















And there's everyone! I really can't wait to get in the garden this year! Hopefully this year is better then last year 

The possibly good news is I have an interview at a place I really wanna work at! And in the garden area to boot it sounds! If that's the case I really hope I get the job! Then I can even get some of my plants from there this year Maby even a few more perminate things as well ? Id love to get more in the house/yard and I feel I could fit well anywhere in there I have atleast a basic understanding of most stuff in the store plus I can get the stuff to start a worm bin there if I get that job so that seems to only help everything! But it atleast atm seems even THO unemployment has required proof that ive mailed back im not getting anything back atm I made my call but account is at 0 that I see so wish me luck with the interview yall!

Soapy content cleaned out

Haven't deleted older posts here if someone may need to reference them or that but I created sakura0soaps.blogspot.com to try to house my soap and similar type content away from here hopefully create less confusion I do still intend to use what I grow if possible and that so its gonna be fun 

Next project is one for my models and possibly crafty stuff I feel like that would motivate me more to work on them 

Night all and enjoy the blogs

Played a bit

So everyone got shuffled around some and many got transplanted or moved entirely (yup im getting tired been a long day think only gonna be longer and still im here) 


So last yall saw they were something like that no?  There nolonger like it 

First I found the clear cover from the big flat took and marked everything that was up or coming up as I moved it have purple and grey like on the big flat but only really purple can be seen 

What wasn't clearly alive was then put into ziplocks after having them getting tagged so I could figure if there just old seeds or heat or if they need cold or that (sugar Apple and General fruits but most are older seeds as ive said before) maby I should just throw some fert in there? See if that would work well enough? 

After that I took and knocked over the water from the little flat swore a few times got annoyied then got glad that I was using a myndology  binder to take notes in (plastic covers plastic rings) so in total I maby lost 2-3 pages and the page I was working on was easy enough to rewright up (including cause someone may find humour from it) 

Then I decided to do the big flat anything that wasn't up/well enough was put in a Dixie cup and labeled on the bottom then eventually put in a big ziplock to be put on the heating mat and covered like the fruits get 

Next step was covering the live ones some really big (leggy) got 16 oz cups to call home for the moment there's really not much can get done and hopefully they all move to them soon enough but I wanna leave the plant slightly rootbound if possible only because my plants are container plants some have Dixie's if there a tad big and the majority are "well enough" to go on the clear tray just getting marked to what they are and where they are 


Afterwards done on 


And some off (yup I move the 16 oz around) can clearly see the paper im using to block light (simulates being buryied as some seeds need dark plus allows me to keep them on the heating mat 

So as to the ones I have on the clear the Dixie's are all marked the rest 


Page 1 


And 2 yup I know terrible handwrighting but maby it helps? I'll type later on the rest are on the bottom or in Dixie's and I know that has my shorthand but I really don't feel like typing it up atm being so late lol 

So here's to hoping I can leave the top off for a long long time and the cat won't go after anything *cheers*
