    THOUGHTS ON WIND ENERGY by Steve Moreland, June 12, 2016

    Good post Soapweed. What a waste of taxpayer dollars, power companies invest in them only because of the subsidies. They have to have backup power for when the wind doesn't blow just as we have to for our stock water windmills. I wouldn't want them on my place or my neighbors.

    If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be....

    Sounds a little high to me. How long did it take them to do the job? The well service I use would have that done in about an hour. Adding a foot valve is new to me since the cylinder already has one. I usually don't replace cylinders unless they are damaged and replacing leathers won't fix them.

    Netwrap

    I use either net wrap or plastic twine depending on the type of hay. I prefer the polypropylene twine because it lasts longer and is easier to get off the bales. I like net wrap for barley hay. I pull it all and put it in the burn pile.

    We are not ready for this!

    Started snowing about 7 am here and has kept it up all day. with the wind blowing it around I would guess at least 4 inches. I'm not even close to being ready for this. :(

    My journal entry for Thursday, June 13, 1968

    The term is used here too. Mostly I use a big rock to tie the fence down to. A lot of places around here the soil type will eat up the wire on a dug in dead man in a couple of years. I have a few let downs in my fence too.

    Bundy Ranch

    I wonder if there previous law that requires them to coordinate with local law? Would take a lot more digging into the law to find out.

    Can Am Side by sides

    I have Polaris 900. When the switch is in the position that shows one wheel drive it actually drives off both rear wheels with the differential unlocked. I had it on some ice and spun both rear wheels in that switch position. I turns a lot easier on hard ground that way than with the...

    We lost a poster

    I'd known him for over 30 years. We had purchased bulls from them when we had Herefords. He will be missed. Here is a link to the obituary.http://stevensonfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/edwin-beery-age-74-of-circle/

    Shortgrass needs our prayers

    Praying for quick and complete healing. We may never know in this lifetime all the good things God is doing because of difficult times like this. If God brings us to it He will bring us through it.

    One more week

    One local supplier is over $5 here. I read on another forum talk of $6 propane in eastern Nebraska. I fill mine once a year in the summer.

    Winter is here

    About 10" of snow here and -12° here. My cows have been liberals since the -30° weather 2 weeks ago.

    Can Am Side by sides

    I just bought a Ranger 900. The bench seat was a must for me. The Ranger has a higher load capacity. The engine is under the box on the 900 making it the quietest side by side I have been around and the suspension is greasable to make it last more durable. The dealer I bought mine from also...

    What to charge for hauling?

    A good rule of thumb to know, I was thinking a little under that $2.75 to $3.00 per loaded mile. Just looked at some receipts from getting some hay hauled with semi pulling a pup. $6.10 a loaded mile.

    Denny and others

    I have a Milwaukee that has served me well for quite a few years. I have a stationary metal cutting band saw that I use quite a bit. The chop saw is nice for its portability. I'm curious what the rest of you are using for cut off blades. The last I got were Metabo. I don't care for DeWalt blades.

    Float valves

    I've used these, they work good but they don't last in my water. I need to use the stainless steel ones. I've used the Roberts "Bob" valves with good success, they do need to be protected from the livestock. The worst one I have found is the Hudson valve. I have had them not shut off, hang up...
