swampy just a bit about drip irrigation. Most of the trees we will be growing will only need 1 to 5 gallons a day(4 to 20 liters) because we are drip irrigating them, otherwise we would be spraying hundreds of gallons of water a day. We can also feed them this way and have no fertilizer runoff. The water and food go directly to the rootball, no waste and it is largely automatic . This is very useful in hot climates like Jawja and Tejas. If we have water use restrictions due to drought, we are exempt. The equipment is relatively inexpensive as well. Something your Church might want to look into, if you need some help getting started just ask me. Yes what you are doing is really cool, tis good to hear. Go you. What is your favorite fruit? Possibly you should donate a tree of that kind. In just a few years…
Well, my favorite fruit is OYKW. Oh like y’all didn’t think I’d do that!
Drip irrigation sounds intriguin’ Jim. I shall bring this up with those who are in charge. My end of things is grunt work cause I’m pretty good at the show me what to do and I’ll do it stuff. As for the orchard, the idea of donate a tree has been kicked around. I think folks would get behind that.
Man, I’ve got a backache. But lunch is being acquired (by a coworker!) which means I won’t skip this time. I’m going to be eating food that can taste me back (lengua taco. Nom nom nom.)
Howdy all! I opened up a Photobucket account to be able to show off my pets but I’m too computer dumb to figure out how to post here. I will figure it out or ask someone eventually.
I’ll take your backache and raise it to sciatica and cervical radiculopathy.
Just had an odd experience with an MRI. To help them count vertebrae, they use things known in the trade as markers. This place uses almonds. The tech says they show up really well and are cheaper than the purpose-made items, which being “medical equipment” are silly-expensive.
So, after the scanning was done, I was de-nutted. :eek:
Good news/bad news is that my back is screaming now after the various positions they had me in. The good is that anything being pressed on or squeezed that shouldn’t ought to be readily apparent. Bad news is that it hurts.
Let me say right here right now that teachers are not paid nearly enough for the crap they have to deal with every day. I just spent 6 hours with my daughter’s classes assisting with a measurement test. On my side of the room, they had to measure the mass of 3 items using balances and gram masses, then measure 4 lengths of tape - 2 in metric and 2 in standard units.
This was a test - they’d been taught all of this material. I can’t tell you how many kids asked “What’s metric??” <headdesk> Plus they were supposed to estimate the lengths first, get their sheets initialed by me, then do the measuring. The longest strip was a yard and a half. I had several kids estimate it at 100 feet. Honest to goodness, they were just pulling numbers out of the air. One boy put down temperatures in inches. :eek: I don’t know how my daughter deals with this day after day… But I’m home and I won’t be doing that again since she’s moving to FL, so there’s that.

FCD **is out on his bike. I thought about working in the yard, but I just don’t feel like it. I’m going to build a tuna-noodle casserole for supper, and that’ll be the extent of my activities this evening. Altho I may decide to drink heavily later.
Howdy from da cave! Dindin is simmerin’ away. Hamburger steak (glorified hamburger patties) and onion gravy with smashed N.O.T. and field peas w/snaps. I shall also bake up some frozen bizkits bein’ as I’m too lazy to make bizkits from scratch today. An easy but nummy dindin shall be had. Even doin’ some prep work for tomorrow night’s dindin which shall be jambalaya. Go Me!
Buttercup, to share a PhotoBucket photo once you have it uploaded, click on the photo. To the right of the photo there’s a little box that says Image Links. In that box it will say Direct Link, and there will be a URL. Copy that URL.
From there you can either paste it into your post, or you can be all fancy and create a link in your post by highlighting the word you want people to click, then clicking on that little icon above the message box that’s supposed to look like a globe and a link of chain. (It’s the second one from the right.) Paste the link in the box that opens when you click that, and it will add the code into your message.
Yeah, I noticed. Actually, it seems like my profile gets skipped over a lot, so I end up contacting people. And mostly hearing nothing. I suppose I could put up another pic where I’m dressed like a girl (my main pic I’m in a pink shirt and you can tell I have tits. The other I’m in a suit coat.)
Oh like y’all didn’t think I’d do that!
