Posting all this now becaue it is a greet time to look for them egged and larvae hatching to eliminate before they are everywhere. 
check your cars, travel equipment and all that. Remember to not take any wood across state lines-county lines, really. 
 

once they make their way to California, the wine industry will get fucked because they also LOVE grapevines

The signs of these wasps are a great sign that natural predators are developing

Since I was home for so long last summer/fall I was able to mitigate them from infiltrating our home by catching them on our patio. I made this “spotted lantern fly sticky staff” and altered it each time I made one. Caught some flies and other types of critters.

last summer the city of Pittsburgh was just cutting trees down. Mostly trees of heaven, the SLF favorite host

They are a beautiful pest and can blend when needed

Signs they are in your trees

you will notice their secretion, honeydew, as a black sticky substance. 
this tree is covered.

its all sugar and will create black mold 

 

 

these knotweeds are covered 

 

 

 

you can see it on the pavement from trees above 

 

I walk this parking lot everyday and no cars park on this back lot. It’s not oil bits droppings

A topic that is carried over from last summer 

SPOTTED LANTERN FLIES

 

they have been missing through the winter just waiting for the warmer months for the eggs to hatch. I have some pics of them at various stages. We are all waiting for natural predators to develop but in the mean time you gotta recognize them and stomp out these pests. They multiply quickly. 
Through the winter and (if your spring is cold enough) you will see their eggs. They lay eggs and then cover them with a greyish substance that hardens to protect the eggs 

 

if you see these it’s valuable to scrape them off a tree or object and smash the fuck outta them. ISO alcohol also dead’s them once the hardens substance is broken into. 

 

 

 

 

 

here’s what the finished hardened substance looks like.

In the last four years I have propagated and acclimated 108 different strains of cannabis 

 

108! 

 

13 strains by seed. 
the rest have come from tissue culture plants.

Signatures would be a great resource to use to apply old user names or nicknames. Legacies are being drifted away by a simple name change.

I remember these three signatures. 
 

“everyone has a plan until you punch em in the face” 

“keeping you on your toes, like a midget in a urinal” 

(I say those two lines at work ALL THE TIME) 

“what’s the point of being unemployed if I don’t have a bangin ass tan” 

 

I have no idea why those ones stuck with me hahah

I was confused at the perspective on this for a sec, thought you were trapped in some tiny room. Then realized you are tubbing it. Hope things work out smooth for you.

They always do. That’s what I’ve learned and keep telling myself. Yesterday I was at my peak

As long as this is I need to shut the world out and decompress and not I'm thinking of inviting Mr. Toaster to get clean with me.

This is me forcing myself to do the things that calm me down and make me happy. 
Smoke. bath. Tea. Vent  . Eat. Sleep   . -yo I got so high last night.(i haven’t smoked my bong since september and I smoke one small ass bowl every other day now) . I smoked two fat ass bowls. Took that melatonin gummy. And knocked thee fuck out. 
 

today wasn’t so bad. But I’m home early because someone opened a fucking door over my foot at lunch and I’m pretty sure my little middle toe is broken. My toenail ripped halfway off the nail bed 

what in the entire fuck kind of curse did someone put over me. Geeeezus.

also, good luck going forward in whatever you ultimately decide to do in life!

Thanks man. Sometimes it just works itself out. I just needed one more year there. One more. 
however. If I’ve learned one thing in life it’s that no matter how ugly the situation is it always leads to something better. I have faith in this. Every day I work there still is better for me. I’m ok with all of it.
