THE Random Chat Thread - AKA "The RCT" - No shirt or shoes required - Open 24 / 7

Seems like this year it's a case of the great divide when it comes to getting the rain.
It's heading right for us-then splits off into another direction at the last moment.
The folks haying are really pulling their hair out by the roots as if they believed the weather reports then there wouldn't be enough days to take off the hay.
The permissions call/text me -the hay is off Pepper-Pepper busier than a 2P billy goat these days.
The thought of treasures in the fields, and no time to play.

Need to water/pick berries/get a stronger grade shear bolts for the chipper/continue cutting trees/clean filter in saw (hack/cough/stop) clean tree debris up around the barn (chickens are freaked out).

OK! Now what will I do this PM? :laughing7:
Humidity starts to build now with rain tomorrow (well, depends where you are) and around20% odds after all but one day.
Given dew is generous when humidity is up on days it don't rain...The one dry day predicted here will have dew in the morning.

When to cut to start drying , and when to rake/ted then bale all while keeping it dry.....
Bad week to even try it . Here West of you anyways.

Chipper like green wood better?
 

Good morning everyone, seeing lots of cool finds meanwhile my best finds lately have been change, keys and pulltabs. I give up lol. It's been many months since I've had anything cool to show.
 

Hmm well this looks highly pleasant

The chipper did like the green. Blades are dull, another shear pin.
Too soft, need a grade 5 at least.
Ok pepper going on 3pm.
Berry patch produced 20 qrts of raspberries.
250 gallons of water.
Time for food, then tree cutting.

Nice!
Second cut?

I may have never slept better than on fresh hay in a good barn.
i get a whiff of Timothy hay on the property sometimes from the rare scattered volunteers.

Getting late and warm awaiting her royal indoors to take over dog duty.
Bulldog squalled when I put one of his front legs back through the sleeve of the t-shirt he's wearing.
Why she took the one off him I had on.....

Anyhow , I should be mowing out on the hunting property.
Checked the rye last week and it's still in the doughy stage so I don't need to crimp it for manure...Yet.

However , I have haresfoot clover below the rye. Again. And I don't spray to kill .
Haresfoot is not good for livestock. And deer don't like it either. Which they shouldn't..
Cultivating last year didn't solve the haresfoot . And I don't want to be cultivating. Would rather crimp or mow and go no-tillage.
 

I remember one vision explicitly ... literally... in fact its burned in.

Was cruising coastline... just cruising... and my girl goes... "holy sh!t look" and points at the beach....

There stood 20 or so people waving at us... all in their late 60's-80's...

All naked.
60’s-80’s? I’m finally old enough !

Easy now.
I might ply you with rum , but there comes a time early on you don't be congratulating a gal on her aging another year. (More so when she has certain leanings.)



ou people can watch while I'm scrubbing these floors
And I'm scrubbin' the floors while you're gawking
Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell
In this crummy Southern town
In this crummy old hotel
But you'll never guess to who you're talkin'
No, you couldn't ever guess to who you're talkin'
Then one night there's a scream in the night
And you'll wonder who could that have been
And you see me kinda grinnin' while I'm scrubbin'
And you say, "What's she got to grin?"
I'll tell you
There's a ship
The Black Freighter
With a skull on its masthead
Will be coming in
You gentlemen can say, "Hey gal, finish them floors!
Get upstairs! What's wrong with you! Earn your keep here!
You toss me your tips
And look out to the ships
But I'm counting your heads
As I'm making the beds
Cuz there's nobody gonna sleep here
Tonight, nobodys gonna sleep here, honey
Nobody
Nobody
Then one night there's a scream in the night
And you say, "Who's that kicking up a row?"
And ya see me kinda starin' out the winda'
And you say, "What's she got to stare at now?"
I'll tell ya
There's a ship
The Black Freighter
Turns around in the harbor
Shootin' guns from her bow
Now
You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face
Cause every building in town is a flat one
This whole frickin' place will be down to the ground
Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound
And you yell, "Why do they spare that one?"
Yes
That's what you say
"Why do they spare that one?"
All the night through, through the noise and to-do
You wonder who is that person that lives up there?
And you see me stepping out in the morning
Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair
And the ship
The Black Freighter
Runs a flag up its masthead
And a cheer rings the air
By noontime the dock
Is a-swarmin' with men
Comin' out from the ghostly freighter
They move in the shadows
Where no one can see
And they're chainin' up people
And they're bringin' em to me
Askin' me
"Kill them now, or later?"
Askin' me!
"Kill them now, or later?"
Noon by the clock
And so still at the dock
You can hear a foghorn miles away
And in that quiet of death
I'll say, "Right now"
"Right now!"
Then they pile up the bodies
And I'll say
"That'll learn ya!"
And the ship
The Black Freighter
Disappears out to sea
And
On
It
Is
Me

I love it! Thank you! That’s an excellent pirate song! Yes you can congratulate them. Ya just gotta know the right words. Like, “ No way! You don’t look it!” Even if she looks twice as old, you won’t be lying and she will take it as a compliment. 😉
