Yep, that's the gigAnd limited indicates an LLC?

Sorry you had such a shitty day, Dale.How was everyone's day?.....don't have to mention it was close to 110 today...and Humid.
We did an end of lease building inspection for an investor client of mine....damn place was in pretty shitty condition to boot....all day at this nightmare.....win a few, loose a few.....
Sounds like a winner....water settling dirt is the best compaction anyway...as long as the cattle don't move the posts before the soil sets.Sorry you had such a shitty day, Dale.
We made it all the way up to 68 degrees today! (sing first verse of Amazing Grace at this point in post) But the wind was relatively light and it did not rain on us, and the auger started again (second verse of Amazing Grace), so the holes got drilled and the posts set. Packed the dirt as well as possible with the handle of a shovel, but it will finish packing with tomorrow's rain, so I hope the cows don't decide we have just given them new scratching posts before they get nice and solid. Also made a decision in fixing the cow pen fence... we talked (several months ago) about putting corral panels all the way around, but 20 of those at $50 each is way more than I have, and a neighbor just gave me a bunch of pallets to replace the crap currently in the hay room, so we moved the old ones over to the fence and started wiring them to the existing T-posts to build a "pallet wall." It won't be as pretty as shiny new corral panels, but it will do the job. I'll probably be busy wiring those for the next day or two.
Yeah, I understand....sandy lome doesn't compact wellAbout the only way for our dirt to get that hard is to water it thoroughly and then bake it (lots of hot sun with no further rain), but then, later, when it does rain again, things just get soft again. If you MUST have hard, it seems to require something called concrete. I don't much like that stuff, so we'll just hope the fencing between posts holds it up for a few years, then we can repair as necessary.
That sounds like a winner.Three feet. And the part in the dirt is treated. They should last a while.
Some winters, it is 5 or 6 feet down. I have all my outside water lines (pump to house to garden to horse corral to horse barn to cow barn) all buried at 8 feet down to guarantee they do not freeze, and all the outside hydrants have their shut-off valves at that level with the vertical pipe draining completely as soon as the water handle is closed.isn't that about the frost line?.....
Holy shit, never heard of frost that deep, except Alaska the tundra, n/s. poles, etc.Some winters, it is 5 or 6 feet down.

Colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra... or...I bitch alot about Heat, but I'll take it anyday compared to colder than a witches tit....
Awwww, that's cheating. But you do get points for bothering to look it up.No, but Google helped.....
Good night, sir. Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. Yak more tomorrow.Well, Rich....hate to say it, but I'm whipped again....later....!
Sarah said that on one of the other forums a lot of people said you have to buy the most expensive batteries out there but they don't realize that all of us don't make a lot of money. We can only afford to get the cheaper one but they last just as long as the ones that cost a lot.
Fair enough. He thought I should be willing to pay $12 to $15 per battery at some B&M store, rather than order from Amazon. Fortunately, he is not stupid enough to order from Wish/Geek. I made one order from them, and got a cheaply counterfeited version of the iJoy Combo RDTA II, for only $4 less than I just payed for an authentic. After my refund, I deleted the app.It's not about expensive per se Phil, it is about safety and making sure when you look for bargain batteries to be sure they are genuine - especially if you ever go anywhere near a mech
There are some really shitty rewraps out there - and some are flat out dangerous but sold expensively and passed as authentic
It is important to buy from a reputable source - is your face worth $6 compared to $4?

You can usually pick up 25R's for around $5 and VTC5A for around $6, 30Q around $5 as well.
I had a feeling Rich would be saying the posts got bent all to hell last night..... @Lannie you ruined Rich's story tonight......Morning farm report. Da cows found da post. They de-packed the dirt and it's just sitting loose in the hole again. Apparently they rubbed their hard heads on it all the way around. Also, all but two of those pallets stacked against the outside of the pen fence have been knocked over. They evidently came in for their evening drink last night, saw all the changes, and un-changed them. If they could open their mouths wider, I believe the post would be out of the hole and lying on the ground. I think we're gonna have to use that big steel bar for a tamper. The broom and shovel handles just don't cut it when it comes to the cows' headpower. (One cowheadpower equals three horsepower, in case anyone is unfamiliar...)
That's OK, today I fixed the gate post she was talking about (drove some wedgies in next to the post). That still does not make it cow proof, but a little more rain, a little more tamping, and it should harden up enough to resist those crazy bovines. THEN I will attach the fencing to it. Temperature still way too low here, but the forecast claims we will be back in the 80s in a day or so.I had a feeling Rich would be saying the posts got bent all to hell last night..... @Lannie you ruined Rich's story tonight......
Their guessing the 80's....nice weather...now will see what happens.That's OK, today I fixed the gate post she was talking about (drove some wedgies in next to the post).

Well, let's see... there is currently a stationary front just to the south of us, which has been wiggling north-south over us and off of us for a few days (that's where the rain showers came from). There is a fairly strong high pressure center in Montana which is sucking cold air down from Canada and keeping our temperatures down (51 this morning, 70 this afternoon) and unless that decides to get the heck out of here (slides east), the coolness will not stop. But if it moves just a little so we are no longer getting this Canuck blow job, we might hit 80 (barely) in the next couple days. I suspect the front to the south of us will sit there and vibrate a couple more days (no strong jet stream to make that go away either), so I am also guessing that in two or three days, it will wiggle back up here and give us another thunderstorm day, then temps will settle in the mid-70s for a few days. The huge forest fires in the west are changing the normal air flow and the frontal systems seem to be arching over us and coming back down near the Great Lakes, so other than being pretty smokey around here, we are fairly stable and should not expect much change. So my guess at this point is slight warming (maybe up to 80) followed by a day of rain and cooling (low to mid 70s) and when it gets out of here in about a week, maybe back up to mid to high 80s. Then September gets here and all Fall breaks loose.Their guessing the 80's....nice weather...now will see what happens.
What is your prediction?
Kinda weird, the door was opening partially then stopping, closing partially then stopping. Never seen anything like this in my life, either it works or it doesn't.....I have a part time opener now, which will be rectified tomorrow morning, one way or another......Chances are you have a fried component in the receiver portion of your opener, so it is not triggering the motor to open the door. Depending on the age of the unit, it might be repairable, but more likely (in the day and age) the A1 guy will just replace (at least that portion of) the whole unit.
Yeah, it's amazing how much those new TV's weigh now. Installed a wall hung 46 inch for my mother last year, hell I could hold the damn thing up with one hand when connecting it to the wall bracket.I got my new (tiny) LG LED TV for the dungeon den today, so I took out that 20-year-old CRT Sherman tank (weighs about 50 pounds), assembled the new one (weighs about 5 pounds) and installed it, then spent about half an hour getting familiar with these damn new style controls (this fucking TV talks to me: "Your volume is now set at 51") and scanning all the channels so it would recognize the Dish channels. Different, but as long as it is not reporting my crude comments to the NSA, I suppose I can get used to it.
Yep. I modified a TV stand to hold one, so it can swing out over the end of the bed when we want to watch it. Otherwise, we simply swing it out of the way.Yeah, it's amazing how much those new TV's weigh now.

That's about the size for the bedroom. Got a 55" in the living room, on a stand I built, with a cabinet under it to hold the Dish box and a DVD player along with movies.I only ordered the 26" version. Anything larger in the den would be a waste. I have no wall space down here (too many book shelves on all walls) so I had to use the plastic legs and sit it on a shelf.
Mine is sitting on a coffee table in the living room, too damn lazy to hang it from the wall.I only ordered the 26" version. Anything larger in the den would be a waste. I have no wall space down here (too many book shelves on all walls) so I had to use the plastic legs and sit it on a shelf.
Yup, the only thing I watch is nat geo wild, and not very frequently. There is absolutely nothing on any channel which suits me, I'm odd tho, I'm told by a lil lady in EC anyway......I don't remember how big the TV is in the living room, but I put it on top of the cabinet that used to hold the old CRT TV (fried by lightning). That cabinet and an old bookcase and several shelves on another cabinet have both DVDs and VHS tapes stacked everywhere. Must be a couple hundred of each. I'd much rather watch our old movies than the crap that is broadcast today.
