Aaaawww, waaah, waaaah!you guys had to destroy a perfectly good forum by chattin' politics. hey whadya think of Paul Martin? He's our leader in Canada. A liberal! YOU LIARS!! ya never even heard of him until i told ya. Think anyone up north here doesn't know who Bush, Clinton, Regan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy etc... is/are/were? Can you guys name 2 prime ministers (=prez) from Canada? Who was the first one? (Washington in US)

I don't dislike republicans, I watched a couple of programs, biographies, etc.. on Cheney and came to the conclusion he is a brilliant guy. I think Bush is a moron cowboy who'd be better served writin country songs 'bout Texas. Just the image he exudes, no matter how much they try to dress him up or write speeches for him.

Okay, i promise, NO MORE POLITICS on the Ford forum. I run 100% stock suspension on my psd. seems to have been pretty good, except i replaced upper/lower balljoints way earlier than i shoulda had to. they don't handle much loggin' road.

the folks up north buy a house for $60,000-100,000 (US), with acreage. They work as loggers, miners, making $60k-100k/year. Easy to have toys and trucks under those conditions.

the moose and bear were road kill. it was an average size black bear and a small moose. Neither woulda done a lotta damage to veh. BUT, many moose kill vehicle occupants every year as their long legs get taken out and 1500lb carcass slides up hood into windshield as car is going 70mPH. Can you say splat? Skinner, even the Dae-woo might get rinsed off the Moose on that one.

hey skinner, you didn't waste a day, look at all that technical stuff you trouble-shooted and repaired. I'd say that's a pretty honest day of hard work. nuthin' wrong with that.

 

MD: The electrical alone on those things cost more than a fully loaded PSD! (IIRC about 65K for a small 1x 75HP good for 320 acres.) So probably 80K for the big one. Customer thought we were overcharging.

But I was the one who screwed it up in the first place. Well, ok, 3 fuses. Boss wasn't even tweaked. 3 fuses were like ummm $20 I think. Spensive little turkeys they are. But they saved a few hundred bucks worth of stuff. THe wrong and used fuses really tweaked me big time. Of course there was the wrong coil. The bad switch...not sure why it don't want to work. Looks the same as one that does.

You know you're getting used to the road when you start doing 70MPH on a 55. Nice thing is, you can see for miles around you with cross traffic. It's all relatively flat land out there. Only saw like 1 or 2 CHP and that Sheriff.

But overall I could have been sitting at my desk yacking with you guys! I do have my priorities. We still have some future work to do. Put in the new main conduit run to the new PG&E pole whenever they set that, and wire back to this OLD (like 50+ years old) 75 HP pump. You go out on these farms and it's amazing what you find. I guess if they blow something up it's not a big deal. No buildings around.

We did a set up like this on the other side of the road. THey planted the trees in Jan. Almonds. Trees were about 2' tall max. THey are now 4'-6' tall. Talk about some good ground. Used to be tomatoes which I guess really put a lot of good stuff into the ground. They are planting almonds out there like crazy. Seen a couple of large fresh plantings. At least 2 1/4 sections. So 320 acres. They almost constantly run the pumps. It's expensive (like $4K/mo.) but the results are astonishing. Huge yields. I think the farmer said he got 2x to 3x the yield with drip over old school flooding. Compared it to feast and famine to a constant nibble all day long. Same amount of water though.

The other farmer we did those 19 stations for had a big increase in yield (row crops like brocoli, cantelopes, corn (not sure though) and cotton.) They were running embeded sub-surface drip lines. They had a reduced water useage as well. Lower weeds.

Confused, Went to a auto accident one night, pulled up, blood all over the place, in the car, on the car, roadway, on the passengers, etc[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] When everyone was taken out of the car, couldn't figure out where all the blood came from[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]Finally, we found the culprit, a dead horse, that was hit in the middle of the roadway, on a pitch dark night.

Creator, I run 33's on my truck with a 4 inch lift and single Edlebrocks on the corners. They ride is better, then my old 2000 Z71[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]I'm thinking about going to duals up front. From what I've learned, they help a little bit more, but, are more for the cool look not the functioning. I also run the banks Big Hoss power chip, mine's set at 65 hp. You can have it set, at I think, 5 different levels. It gave me the fuel mileage I lost, when the bigger tires and lift was done. Also, I went with the 4 inch exhaust[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] My next change will probably be the K&N filter.

Skinner, that's a lot of money for a sprinler system[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]but, I guess it's cheaper in the long run.

 

Yea, drip systems are the way to go[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I put them in my planter boxes, weeds went down 90% and the PSD doesn't get overspray from the sprinklers anymore. Now, I just yell at the neighbors when they water my second driveway[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]I wish concrete grew like weeds,when watered[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
