My day job is fixing computer problems - hardware and software. I also do webpage stuff on the side.

I also used to be a high school math, science, and computers teacher. Just had to relearn calculus to tutor my step daughter this past summer, so if you need help with intro level calculus I'm your guy. Funny how much math I forgot in the past ten years since doing my degree, not like I used that kind of math on a daily basis though.

I'm another webmonkey, to be sure, though my day job is on the floor in a small factory. I've done a lot of manual production machining, CNC programming, setup, and operation, HT and Cryo, jig&fixture design, CAD, and other R&D stuff. I'm by no means an expert in any of it, but I like to think I understand a lot of the underlying theory, and am happy to help folks figger stuff out as I have.

I can also tell you or find out just about anything you want to know about making hand woodworking tools go.

I don't think I'll ever see somebody toss a bale farther than one of my good friend's older brothers. He's 6'4" and 265 lb. with no fat (collegiate powerlifter and track athlete). We were haying for an old timer outside of town and Konnor threw a wind-row bale that was about 85 lb., from the ground, up through the old loose-hay door in the front of the barn! That's just silly strong. :eek:

Oh, btw- to answer the original post, I don't know how to do ANYTHING!!!

Doh. I was sorta figuring you didn't lift anything that didn't have a mirror next to it :p
Sounds like your buddy can toss a bale pretty good. I'm pretty much a beanpole at 6'2" and 200lbs, so it always is fun to see the reactions of any new help when I stand on the ground and throw a bale ontop of a wagon loaded 6 bales high (I don't generally choose a 2nd cutting 100 pounder to do this with though! ). In the distance contest its all about technique, I can make em land so they roll just about anywhere I want. 8 years for a hay farm has given me a little bit of practice at it.
 
I grew up in the hay field, swore I would never go back, and now find myself missing it in my older years. :(

Technique is everything when throwing a bale. I have found those not using their knee for an assist in power will have no distance or height.

I admit I have never had either to the extent everyone here has, but always manage to get it on the truck. Perhaps while not as strong, I am smarter than everyone here? :D
 
I am a master chef if anyone needs a good recipe. I also know my way around a computer and like Sean design websites and maintain them.

I did have a chainsaw once :)
 
I know alot about the retail grocery business:rolleyes: Sales and marketing in the grocery business. Outside of that I have over 25 years experience with hunting whitetail deer, reloading rifle, shotgun and handgun ammo. I know alot about ballistics in most firearms. Pretty knowledgable about the habits of deer. I've read about and studied them for many many years.

Matt, I'm a small town kid, haying is how many of us around here could save up to buy a rig and/or dirt bike or four wheeler. Seems like it was school and haying all through my teens. But it's been a few years since I had to move more than a couple hundred bales, so you'd prolly kick my butt!

Alfalfa was always a bee-yotch. The year I was 17 I didn't wear gloves at all, and my hands got so ugly I could pick up those 120-140 lb. wire bales bare-handed. They'd probably slice my hands to ribbons now. What a girly man I've become! :barf: :D

So where's all these dentists that want to do 2 yearly check-ups/cleaning, for a couple of years, for a knife at??? :confused: :D
 
I don't know anything, have never known anything and will probably never know anything. But most people that know me, will tell you, I think I do. So from rocket science to septic tank problems, I can give you an answer to any problem, what you do with it is totally up to you. :D

As far as hay bales go, my wifes step father was the strongest man around these parts. He loaded hay bales with a pitch fork and could/would do it all day long. Seem the man walk up to a 25 ft' telephone pole , pick it up and walk off. He was a cop in this small town and believe me, the kids and grown ups too, didn't talk back to him. 1 mean son of a B*****.

I also have allot of experience in tactical emergency medicine and i teach defensive handgunning if y'all have any questions in them areas i will be happy to answer or make something up so that you at least think i know what i am talking about..:)
 
Okay, Eric, how much does a 7' chunk of the "short" RR rail weigh? The stuff that's about 6" tall.

There was a piece down by the local loading dock, and I went down there to get it for use in the shop. I picked it up and carried it about 50 yards and decided I was a wimp. I went back and got the truck.

It was marked "#110" but it sure felt heavy it it was supposed to be 110 lb.!

I'd a just stuck with breaking horses and breaking things if I'd have known I'd get called out like this:eek: Everybody in here used to bale hay!
How many of you were hauling it today though? Yeah thats what I thought HA HA! :p :D Course we didn't have to haul much because nobody wants to pay their bill:grumpy:

As a more serious answer than before, I can probably give advice on basic welding and fabricating type stuff, and know a little of this and a little of that about most construction related stuff.
I've driven just about any kind of peice of equipment from tractors to skid stears to sky jacks and a lot of stuff in between too, but those skills aren't worth a whole hell of a lot over the internet.
 
Printing and Graphic arts, Use to teach Motocross and Desert racing in my younger years. Now its just graphic arts and knives.

Nick railroad rail is weighed per yard i.e. 110 lb is 110 every three feet 132 lb 136lb 141 lb etc. etc. etc.
 
Bill- he sounds like an ol boy that used to farm here in Winlock. My dad hayed for him as a teen. Ol' Joe Zion... a barrel chested man that nobody talked back to. My dad said he was on the top of the trailer, on top of a load 8 bales high, and Joe would wing the bales up there and see if he could knock the kids off. Well, I guess just knock em down if he liked them, knock em off if'n he didn't! :eek: :D

And btw- I still don't know noth'n!!! :( :D

don't feel bad :( if I did no one would listen anyway;)

by the yard, not the foot, I was only 66.6666 % off :)
I edited that because I didn't think you were carrying around 770 pounds..
257 sounds closer but still less than your big anvil :D

I helped put up 1500 bails one weekend,, catching bails from the bailer stacking them in the hay wagon and then putting them away in the barn loft, that was enough for me for memories:D
 
Im pretty good with technical stuff. Database design, Oracle ODBC stuff, .Sql, Access....good with scanning and imaging technologies, etc....

If anyone knows a GOOD java developer, my company is looking for a senior architect and designer....
