Last night was all about listening to old ish music. Queen, Bowie, Cramps (live at Napa State Mental Hospital no less) and a few others for no real reason. I got into some 30s blues as well. It's kinda interesting hearing so many similarities, and thinking you can see how the newer stuff was built on the old. Anyways, I'm a bit of a music fan...
Edit - this could probably go in the 'bump' thread, as well, but it's going in this one. Only because I found it first...
So a couple of months ago I got some new stems from Team HI, who packed everything up with some nice degummed hemp fiber, which I dropped in the spare drawer and promptly forgot about. Until a few weeks back when someone suggested filter material. So I've been tearing off small pieces and putting them below the screen in my HI. After a few days they are sticky, and hard to draw through, so I replace it with another small chuck of fiber, and tossed the used ones in a corner of a stash box, because they must be good for something? Simmer in milk at least, right?
So I accidentally combusted
in a glass tube, which gunks the screen and filter and everything needs a clean. But I don't feel like cleaning... I feel like vaping... so... I jam two of the wee pieces of fiber into the HI stem and give it a shot, and then spit out a mouthful of burnt chunks of herb and other sludge from the tube and screen. Eurgh. But the second draw was pretty nice. Very smooth. And my skull is twisting, and a huge cloud comes out of my head. I do 10 or 12 draws like that, and invent a new word... 'bedicated'
I'll leave you smarties to figure out what it means... Anyways, it's 11:00 PDT. The same two pieces of fiber are still in the stem. Should I try it? Fark yes - the clouds are still huge, and I might need a nap. I will for sure if I don't keep taking pulls on this, expecting the clouds to stop. The clouds aren't stopping! Why wasn't I informed about this earlier? So I'm sharing it here, for those that may not have discovered the complete and total joy a small piece of degummed hemp fiber is when it's absolutely black with reclaim. If I thought I'd get away with it I'd be tucking a couple of the good butter knives into a burner on the stove and see how they work old school.
Speaking of which
@Old School - thanks for the reclaim pointers! You were the first one to get me started on this stuff
PS - the clouds just aren't stopping!
