Muh Public School.

Adventure today.... Pump on a 5acre parcel we have tripped out the other day. I turned breaker back on and pump pulled 10amps, all normal. Today found it tripped again. This time it really tripped every time I turned it on. Isolated the 240v line at the pressure switch and it still tripped. So must be a problem with wire under ground. Fortunately we also had a 2nd set of wires run out there for 120v outlet in pump house. Switched that wire over to pump duty and we're off and running.

Augered 6 holes in the ground today for the pole shed. The very first corner post hole shot off crooked. It means I may have ot move all posts over 1/2 a post width.... If I'm careful I can move the string lines over 2-3/4"and maintain the square layout we did the other day. Dug the holes for one side and poured a bag of concrete in the bottom to make a footer pad. Tomorrow I'll mock up a 6x6 post in that boogered up corner and see if I need to change where we auger the 6 holes on the other side of the building.

Nothing goes to plan.

I swear the sun looked bigger when I took this picture.

Thinking of starting a new religion. We will be the weslatarians. Sun worshippers. House becomes a church for tax write off, enough food growing for our community. Even a cemetery on site.

You will have the safest property in your county. The local sheriff/police, the fbi, cia and all the other 3 letter agencies will be camped around your property......

Something to think about and lok into.......

Traffic jam on the highway today....

Attempting something.... I've aquired two 21' 3" pipes and a 6ft 3" pipe. I've made them into an A frame and put a snatch block at the top. I'll mount an electric winch on the bottom with cable up thru the snatch block. The idea is to make a crane of sorts that I can hold up with the tractor loader and use the winch to hoist up the trusses for the pole barn.

It's gunna work or we're gunna rent a towable manlift.

Neat idea... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLme7ReYy30

Premium 2x2’s.

Can't win today... bad storm came thru... lighting struck 2500ft from the house and triped breaker out to the barn. Blew up my network switch that runs the wifi AP on the roof, and it blew up my meshcore node up on the radio tower. And one leaf of the gateopener at the street isn't working. I'll have to check the electric fence charger tomorrow.

A rather succinct interpretation of our reality.

There is unrest in the Forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the Maples
(And they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the Oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the Oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the Maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?

There is trouble in the Forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the Maples scream ‘Oppression!’
And the Oaks, just shake their heads

So the Maples formed a Union
And demanded equal rights
‘The Oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’
Now there’s no more Oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw…

Confirmed, the electric fence charger was blown off the wall and is in many pieces. Also a fusible link I put from the fence charger to the fences is blown but it didn't save the charger.
