Smoked 3 bowls of pipe tobacco and sat transfixed with indecision while contemplating which trees to switch pots on. Tomorrow probably the same thing. Getting close to having to quit dithering and actually do it.
Oh yeah....moved a really heavy tree so this morning I have the heating pad on my arthritic shoulder

This is a "picture required" thread. Where's the picture of you toking on your pipe?!
Starting some larch seeds.

Dang! Three bowls of a packed tobacco pipe is like 30-40 minutes of smoke...
"Transfixed" sounds right!

You know what's funny...
Based on your innocent and wild personality... I had thought you to be my age .. or even perhaps younger.
That's DEFINITELY a good thing.
Yak yac yac... Mo pics due!
Earlier in this thread I showed a larch I wired and mentioned I broke a branch. For the heck of it I stuck it in with some ficus cuttings. Today I see budding! Not sure it's survival instinct or really rooting.

Glazed pots today!
Story of my my bonsai experience. The fam checks in on me from time to time from the window and laughs at me still staring at the trees as I change my angles to get a different view and move the mulch around.

We built this fort!
A more "compact design" than usual... But a focus on comfort with mattress floors!
And I was able to get the first set of pots from their "oven" session, glazed/slipped up, ready for action.

Another ficus today - trim, defoliate and repot.
Nearly time for a larger pot. The nebari only just slips in font to back. These ficus just keep thickening despite small pots. Current pot is the third upsize over the life of this tree.
Then tackled the larger ficus.
This tree is from the same batch of seed as the previous tree and also grown from 2 seedlings planted close together to fuse as a twin trunk. Only difference was this larger one was initially planted in a larger container to bulk up quick.
This one was overgrown and had a major cutback in November and I've been putting off the inevitable new shoot selection but it needs to be done and today was the day.
Incidentally this tree is getting to hard for me to manage so it is up for sale. Apologies that I can't offer it to most of the B'nutters due to distance and import restrictions.
The resident Dwarf green tree frog was a bit grumpy at losing his cover buts stayed in place through the entire operation.

Some maples also needed trimming.

Spent the morning checking in a PO of terracotta and glazed pots... 
Had a couple stacks break in shipment and I decided to nab some to use as shohin pots with character
