Well here's me in the beginning.....71 years ago!
View attachment 132439
We were poor and I was a rag tag kid, but I wouldn't change a thing.
Growing up in the 50s and 60s was a time of freedom for me.
Bike, pellet gun, fishing poles was all a young fella needed.....be home for dinner!
Mom stayed at home....pretty much ruled the roost.
Dad worked a day job $80 a week, then at home working on cars and harleys for extra cash.
We had love but no real relationship....way it was back then for many.
67 smoked my first mexi...15 years old, I was a changed kid....
Was slinging lbs of brick weed 4 years later, that turned into $125 kilos of pretty paper wrapped blocks!
Long haired redneck dope smoker I was!!
72 Uncle Sam came calling, spent 18 mo in F.R.O.G.
Smoked a shit ton of the best hash in the world at a buck a gram!
Got out in 74, moved to Or the next year.
Truly a life changing moment, started my first indoor grow in our bedroom in 1975.
4 8' t12 gro lux bulbs nailed to a 2x8 sheet of plywood.
Never made it to flower, even though I had High Times to guide me??
We found a trailer for rent on an acre, now had room to start plants for outdoor.
Had Columbian Gold seeds that just weren't meant to finish here in the PNW...dumber that shit about growing pot at that point!
Met an old hippie with some great connections, started a 12 year long relationship....some of the best Thai ever.
The side bizz was getting to big for comfort, so bailed on that in 88.
Funny.. when the Thai went away so did most of my "friends".
Worked for a city in Or. for 31 years as a maintenance guy, retired at 58, goin on 13 years of release from that prison!
Now I fish, clam, crab and grow dope!!
Sorry for the long winded blast from the past!
Damn Sticky.....your rubbing off on me!
