@NostalgiaFolder The queue for the slide is too short. You need to max out the number of people allowed on the slide at once, beef up that queue, and that slide will fund your park.
@myth_pilot it's hard work, tough to get started if you don't inherit land/equipment, but there is another millennial couple down the road from me. You have to want to do it now and it's definitely not the path of least resistance.
Imma keep it real with you; it's not pretty, but it works. Tried to change the seals on the old cylinder, but kept breaking them. I definitely need to clean up the hoses and change the cylinder on the other side when time/money are in my favor (fall, probably)
@Oilfield_Rando Next step is a riding mower/atv with a tank you pull behind it. Moving from the suburbs to farm country taught me quickly that if there is any task or step in a process you can mechanize, do it. What was fun in the city on 1/8 acre becomes torturous on multiple acres.
@leadlagreport I think you might get your day soon (again). Rising oil prices + new fed chair who wants to cut, but how to avoid embedding inflation expectations? Deregulate.
@leadlagreport Reflecting on my life always brings me back to Him. Anytime I think about the defining events that should have gone a different way, but lined up perfectly to bring me to where I am, I have trouble squaring the odds any other way.
@TheRealBMinus @theCrazyVaclav @gunsnrosesgirl3 My neighbor does it exactly like that. I'm the last leg of this ditch so I wind up getting everything that washes down and dirt showing up winds up being worse than dirt going out, but the guys up the line with bigger operations get the ditch company to put concrete in for them.
@TheRealBMinus @theCrazyVaclav @gunsnrosesgirl3 I have tarps as well, but it doesn't make much difference which I use. Erosion isn't really an issue. Every year I have to dig out the ditch again to remove the material that washes in from upstream.
@DavidLabbe15 @gunsnrosesgirl3 It's actually better than sprinklers/pivots and the like. The water stays on the ground so you have less exposed to the air to evaporate.
@theCrazyVaclav @TheRealBMinus @gunsnrosesgirl3 That's actually exactly how it gets done right in the middle of America to this day. I use a metal dam just like he does and the only difference is I use a siphon tube the get the water over the sides of the ditch, but I have just carved channels before.
