Shane, sorry to hear about your week. I know how it feels man. Something about the brand spankin new guys thinking they can't talk to anyone...

Anyways, you look like you are gonna need a bigger freezer! It is crazy he the harvests just keep getting bigger and bigger! Those brains look killer, definitley a keeper. I haven't seen many with that pointy tail, really cool shape. Also, next time you decide to purge your freezer of delicious wild beast meat, you could always extend the invite... :lol:

I know, I feel like a sellout. The thing that sucked me in was unlimited photos and no more need for photobucket...oh yeah and it was half price. Dunno if I like it yet??? If it actually does get rid of the post photo limit I'll be happy.

Im going to either need a bigger freezer, or more time to work on powders! Maybe a week of leave to get dru...err I mean caught up!
 
Hey, Shane! Man, you've been through the wringer, buddy.
Hope you are starting to feel like you're coming out the other
side. Service life isn't for everybody; sorry it had to come to
that for the young lady. Hope she is coping okay.

You were 'extreme' before it became a thing, my friend :D
 
I think extreme is the way to go. Anything to separate myself from the unwashed masses and demonstrate my superiority.

Plus, I guess supporting the website is ok too...

The photo album looks cool, I should try that out
 
Great harvest Shane the plants are loving what you are doing to them. Those pods will be keeping you busy through the winter. You got thinking about the extreme going to look into that.

Thanks for that extreme comment too buddy!

Uh...oh! I didn't know "washed" was a prerequisite! I better keep my head (and arms) down! Photo Album is OK...not sold on this thing yet.

The harvest was a little nuts??? I'm not OCD enough to count the pods, but I wish I had. There were a bunch. I have almost that many ripe again today (minus the large pods). Hopefully I can pull some tomorrow.

I am the anti Extreme . Please don't hate on me ;)

I was a bit irritated with the idea at first...not the reason I came here. I gave it a shot because of the half price deal and the hope of no post photo limit...so much for that. The photo gallery is a little tough to use, and if there's a way to re-order the photos in there I can't find it. So you either have to upload them one at a time in the order you want them in there, or take the photos in the perfect order in the first place. Maybe it'll grow on me??? I don't like the thought of an extreme only grow forum (or others) think it goes against what this site is (was) about. Hope its not a sign of things to come.

:) I can't speak for Shane, but I, for one, don't mind mingling with the common folk :D

Lol...sure don't mind supporting the site. Just hope it doesn't end up all segregated...that would be a shame.

Well didn't get home in time to harvest today, but I did end up with some fresh peppers!

Courtesy of Rick! Some fresh Gochus and a nice selection of Gochu seeds!

I didn't waste any time and grilled the pods up with dinner...nice sweet pepper (aside from when they explode on the grill into your eyes and face :rofl: )
[sharedmedia=gallery:albums:11]
I really enjoyed the pepper...really sweet! A tad tough though. Just due to my lack of Gochu expertise! I will definitely be growing some out for next season!

My first training run in ages on Saturday went well. 20 miles in the mountains near Lake Elsinore. BRUTAL, but necessary. I will be running more in prep for my upcoming 100 miler in November...ughhh.

Thanks for stopping by everyone! Things are looking up. I have to attend a class tomorrow here in San Diego, so no 200 mile round trip for me :dance: plus an extra couple nights at the house...

Night all!
Shane

I hope you find her in as good spirits as can be expected under the circumstances.

That was an easy call, man!

It is what it is, brothah. It's cool that THP is upgrading some services
for those who want that. I don't feel bad if folk take advantage. As
long as I'm not considered unwashed. Although sometimes I am :D
There are other sites with levels of membership, like Photobucket,
and there wouldn't be much point in excluding each group from the other.
Lol...sure don't mind supporting the site. Just hope it doesn't end up all segregated...that would be a shame.
It's okay, Andy, you can always visit my house ;) We take all comers!

Do you have to run a 100 miler without stopping?
Is there a certain max time you're allowed?

Guess the next couple of days will be like a vacation, my friend! Enjoy!

You stop at aid stations to refill water bottles/bladders and grab some food and then on your way.
[background=rgb(255, 250, 242)]Is there a certain max time you're allowed?[/background]
Yes, most races have a 30 hour time limit...this one is 34. Not due to being more relaxed, but due to extreme difficulty. There are around 25000 ft of vertical climb on this race...took me 32hrs 47 minutes last year.

Here is the elevation profile...

and my finishing photos from last year...

and I just love this pic because you can see the pride on my wife's face.

One of my proudest moments. I know its not pepper related, but so be it! It rained in the valleys and snowed and sleeted on the peaks...I weigh 230 lbs, I am definitely not built for distance, but I finished it! The drop rate was about 50%.

As far as the vaca today, not really. I will be getting home around the same time I normally do, just minus the drive. We'll see about the site I suppose???
Take care Paul,
Shane
 
Great info Shane,
It's cool to see your glog expanding to other info, not just the plant grow. I appreciate the food preps and the side notes with work and the personel life. That last photo shows it all....your wife is proud to stand by your side. Now on a serious note, who does the dishes......

On a side note.

I can see the point of "extreme" for folks that have a product line to sell and others who wish to display an art gallery of photos. I haven't researched it, there's probably alot more advantages for the member. For me, I do the glog "thing" here and an occasional food "shot" to be viewed by anyone......that includes guests who aren't even resistered here. If the day comes when we all have to pay the "cover charge" to enter than I will subscribe. This site keeps getting bigger and better and I can understand theres a cost behind it.

That's cool, and yeah that had to feel good. And yeah, you can see the pride on your wife's face - I can see why you like the picture, good stuff.

We'll cheer you on when you make it this year too! Truth be told, I cannot believe anyone makes that. It must take forever, and your body has to be off for a few days at least, I'd think.
 
Shane your grow is EXTREME!! Must have happened because you are now and extreme member. Mine must not have kicked in yet. Oh well I'll keep waiting.

Awesome race pics. Your wife looks proud indeed! And she had every reason to be. Heck I would have given up at 5 miles (and that's being liberal with my "abilities").
 
Awesome job Shane with finishing the run last year that is a great moment to have and share with your family. Mmm ribs love that freezer shot on your album. Soon it will be time to add a third freezer lol. Hope everything is going well for you, your family, and the sailor. Good luck with the training
 
damnn your garden is full of pods shane, thats lots of heat for you bra :onfire: :onfire: , and awesome job finishing the run, your whole family is proud of you...
