camp fire while the guys are taking a smoke and a beer break. A couple year=
s ago I had mentioned we can use the ashes from certain plants to get neat =
effects and started joking about driving out to Kansas and grabbing some of=
that un-smokable ditch weed and burning it down in my Koie Cooker to make =
pot ash glaze. It turns out one of the guys got his medical growers permit =
and dropped off about 50 gallons of scrap trimmings and male plants so I co=
uld do what I had been bragging about doing...

n. I'll bet something like this would go over big at the Woodstock 4 party =
they are gonna have at NCECA. It could last into next week if they top it o=
