I'm reading up a bit about indoor plant growing on a global scale.
Specifically PlantLab and Plant Paradise
It's really awesome technology.
<angrily throws bottle of Mountain Dew>
This - This is what I was basically working on / towards about twelve years ago... I so wished I had had the support then to make it happen. I knew then - in 2004(ish) to do this,.. I was working at one of the Automobile Manufactures here in KY, and wanted to take an old wasted space (Wal-Mart building, etc) and turn it into an indoor farm...
Back then I knew (fairly certain) I could have picked up grants and such left and right as the goal was to go nearly 100% green... Collect water, use solar heat, power, wind power Geo-thermal, bio-gas - full gambit... and grow everything,.. and seafood.... as seafood is a $4BILLION import....
But I didn't have the support (still don't) or the encouragement (still don't) or the belief it would work.... And now it's all over the place. Aqua / Hydroponics, Vertical Farming and such.. ...
You can always start at the small scale and work up.
I used to grow hydroponic basil in the tub.
Yeah, "basil"...

This was my first thought too.

Hanging out with the kids for a bit.

Figuring out where the GF and I want to backpack to this weekend at Joshua Tree. Got a new pack and new sleeping back, temps in low 40's at night and I'm excited to try it out.
What pack? I have a Red Rock Outdoor Assault Pack (not for tactical but for modular reasons).
If you find yourself this way.. you should hit the Gorge
I got the Kelty Coyote 80 from REI. We usually only do one night, wouldn't consider anything more than two nights, so I didn't need anything too intensive. We opted for a square double sleeping bag because neither of us enjoy feeling like a butterfly about to emerge from a cocoon, so it fits nicely into this pack, and she carries the tent/sleeping pads.
Thats the kind of pack I'm looking into right now. I don't understand why people want camo stuff for hiking!! I want to be SEEN! More than that, I want to be able to put my stuff down and be able to still see it from 2 meters away.

It's a great pack. And yes, I want to be seen in the off-chance I get lost somehow.

Where I hike I'm also worried about other hunters. Leading cause of death in the forests here is being mistaken for a moose/deer

Do you recommend any specific tent in a 2 person size (I'm fat) that I could pack easily on my motorcycle? I'm going to do a big month-long trip and likely camp in a few KOA locations to save cash.

If you're in a KOA or something and not worried about wildlife (bear burrito) check out hammocks. Hennesy ones are highly reviewed. They pack away to nothing and setup is 5 minutes.

Still working with my project paper.
Forcing myself to learn the Project management -
Years ago, all of my articles disappeared from Datamation. But I just realized that they've all come back...
