Woke up this morning with a damn headache, and I still have it. Gonna call this one a night. Have a good night gents.
 
on the way home from work tonight my neighbor calls and asks if I've got my burn permit yet for this year -- so I stopped on the way home and got one.
2 1/2 hours later, I had roughly 11 acres of ash......

trying to rehab an overgrown hayfield -- normally you burn a field every 3-5 years to keep it from being taken over by scrub, trees, etc... if it's not being actively mowed, fertilized, and weed controlled.
this one got out of hand, we burned 3 years ago, sprayed 2 years ago, got rained out last year (burning to late is worse than not burning at all)
yesterday we got a good burn, hopefully I can get the tractor torn down and replace the bad fuel line tomorrow, so I can mow down everything still standing next weekend after the ash has a chance to settle a bit.

I worked in Brazil a while. The first time I saw them burn a cane field it looked like a mushroom cloud from a tactical nuke lol
 
G'day snarkers. Been a while. Glad y'all still kicking.
Back to you're regularly scheduled Snark.

Yep, signature still messed up :D
 
My son's starting his own bicycle company. He rode his bike 70 miles today. I couldn't ride a bike around the block, haha.

Is he going to be manufacturing bikes or just retailing them?

Out sourcing to China. Manufactured there. He has a bunch of shops interested in them. He'll be wholesaling to the bike shops mainly. His first order is nearly a month behind schedule.
 
Start-up is always a bitch. Nothing ever goes according to the original schedule.:eek:

Is he doing road/street bikes or BMX/off-road bikes?

Congrats to him going out on a limb to start his own business and here's hoping all the kinks get worked out of the system.

I can believe it -- if I hadn't been busy with a torch, I could have gotten some really cool "fire-storm" video the other night.
I like to light the edges and let everything burn towards the middle -- makes for an impressive fire when 2 walls come together.
