Just came back in from four daze of massive labor

Scene at my house last night:

I showered after getting home, toweled off, jammies on, in the bed, next event I remember is Scout's face in mine with a ball in his mouth about 0800 this morning!

Wife said the boys are sore all over. They didn't talk much but just climbed in bed and passed out

Dogs, both of them, came in, ate fell asleep!

Wife thought her whole family abandoned her!...Have to deal with that for a while today I guess!

I purchased a go-pro camera since I am always leaving my good camera out in the rain or driving over it ow painting next to it, or welding next to it and so forth

It has recorded much...Problem is the cable used to connect it is still down farmside!

I added 300 gallons to the water tank and watched its consumption. Over four days, three of us used fifty gallons. It is necessary to clean up after hot sweaty dusty work, and of course cleaning cooking utensils

Then I got started on this area. It needs a retaining wall and a roof. Need being is shelter and protection against a tornado. It won't take long so I am prioritizing it over the barn construction for the short term...That and getting the outhouse in and running (Does it actually run???)

CARREP: After the boyz cleared out around the future outhouse site, I mowed all around it, venturing into the woods, even "Mowing" a new path a hundred feet or so into the woods...

Then I remembered I had Jaws attached with its snorkel like discharge chute...

This work was all by my lonesome during the hot part of the day. It was slow going. Drill a bit, then dig out the rock, then drill a bit more and repeat. It took me on average maybe 40 min per hole times seven.

The food was mostly delicious.

Cooked directly on campfire coals, I made up tin foil bags with cubed steak, chicken, potatoes, and shrimp drenched with steak seasoning and olive oil and a dash of pepper and salt. Could have eaten the tin foil.
Tin has honey beans with steak seasoning. They went down easily as well. Served with an ice cold water and chased with some sweet tea!
My sister supplied some delicious kielbasa and broccoli and some pulled chicken.

Those are some good looking polls, should do the job nice.

With all those shavings, maybe you need a way to store them some. Then move where needed?

Tin cooking is great. Last time we camped I heated things on the dmax.

Funny!

Especially for those memorable times when you have the "Green Apple Quick-step!"

That dude is intended more for when activities are centered around the mill area, or when knuckleheads (Nice knuckleheads) show up from Chicago! ;-)))

It's more than a crappy job for the boys...

Sorry, couldn't resist

But

I intend to grow men. That soil is so hard it paves the transition between mud and stone, Literally! Bu setting a seemingly impossible task ahead of them, I have given them the opportunity to explore their limits. They may not enjoy digging it, but bet you me, they will shine with pride over a singularly insignificant hole in the middle of Kentucky. That hole will help me build them!

My youngest son commented in disbelief after watching the thing ripping up mother earth. "Dad that thing is just pure death and destruction!" Spoken like a true future infantry officer!

I started with mucking out the original hole. I went down through four feet of goo and maybe 40-50 yards of the stuff until that side had reached a solid clay bottom

Then I doubled to tripled the hole size. This was just a starting point. The pond (hole) as it sits now is 5 times or more larger in length and twice as wide and over 10 feet deep across the entire long axis

After a lot of digging I fired up the Sarge and moved a lot of dirt and tracked it in on top of the levee end of the pond. I stacked that up 3-4 feet higher and widened it considerably. All that goo I had piled up on the backside slid off and went down the hill. It's a four feet mud slide a hundred or more feet long. It's drying and when it gets dry enough I'll stack it back up on the bank

Riding on Sarge on top of that levee 30+ feet up in the air was pretty creepy...But I survived and that's' my story!

I forgot to take pics today, but the "Shelf" on the high side was cut all the way across the long up-hill axis, and all that dirt was piled on top and along side of the levee and tracked in where I could get to it.

That pond is now a couple hundred feet long, 10-12 feet deep and wider than yesterdays pics depict. Additionally I cleaned it all up, curving the sides and ends. I still have to work the excavator on the uphill/shelf side to curve that side and cut another 8-10 feet out.
I have stacked a bunch of really big boulders along the "Road" that is adjacent to the hole so some mixed up night driver doesn't practice submarine crash dive techniques.

I think the place was subject to some big winds. The little Oak tree sitting beside my camper was broken and on its side, and I found stones embedded into the side of the camper!

And now for everyone's favorite

My weekly CARREP:

Coming down the lane, when I drove Chief in, I destroyed a slew of pesky trees, because I could, and they needed to be destroyed. I now have some great new neighbors who agree that the road needs to be widened and improved a little.

Well, I took out a clump of Cedars leaving the largest one. My thought was to just trim it up to make it "Pretty"

Then I remembered the neighbor saying he was bringing a camper in. That single tree would scratch the dickens out of his camper so I went down the lane with the tractor to remove debris and pull down that tree.

Turns out that tree was a stubborn cuss, refusing to yield. So, after grubbing the rootball, I started ramming it with my tractor and grapple

Note to self: In the future, do not ram things with your expensive tractor.

Well the tree yielded after awhile and I won, I thought.

When I tried to curl the grapple back, it groaned and refused to move backward

On the post flight inspection I noted this:

The last pic shows what it should look like.

I yanked that cylinder off

John deere wants a new born child and $481 for a replacement cylinder

I think I'll drive over and visit a hydraulics shop or my buddies at Case to see if its repairable. I know pros straighten motorcycle forks, why not cylinder pistons?

Hey Don you might want to have a guy that knows ponds, dams and the like come check what you dug. Hate to see it fill up then give way and wash out some neighbors place. At the same time you might have the EPA or similar fed agency crawling down your neck for water related stuff. I would just be careful....with that size that much water packs a lot of weight.

I believe the EPA and clean water regs only apply to navigable water or those tributaries connected to it (thats the new stuff).

As long as his water is from his property and does not run to a navigable waterway he should be fine.

Heard some crazy stories about that!

They might be able to straighten the cylinder but they usually break. We never buy them from a dealer. Always from our local hydraulic shop.
