The inside of the barn with the cats hay bale condo in the back.

I dropped off the dove carcasses for the crew. The cat census was disturbingly low as I only saw 2 cats the entire weekend

[ben ji]

I forget that we have a motorcycle out here in a random building

I drove it once as a teenager but who knows what all needs to be fixed before it will run again

[bucket]

I bet it was exciting to see all of them Antelope!

that shed stresses me out, man

Me too man, me too. My dad claims he will let me clean out all the buildings after my uncles lease is up this spring (something about not knowing what junk my uncle actually uses/will take).

Ben Ji, what is that 2 wheeled thing in front of the open door?

If this is what you are asking about it's a small carriage type thing that my uncle's mini ponies used to pull in parades or something like that. I don't think it has been used in years but there are still a couple mini ponies hanging around.

[michigancat]

I can tell you that your uncle does not need that paper or rotting wood pieces

[steve dave]

people dogging on kanye but this is irl how you start farming

you also need access to a shitload of equipment and farmer connections but the gov will give you a ton of starter cash through various programs to buy land and other required stuff. especially if you are young because they need young farmers because nobody wants to do it because it sucks crap

TY Ben Ji, I would have never have guessed.  Are you thinking about hooking it up to the ponies.  It could be more fun than messing with the rice burner.

[ben ji]

Sometimes our katz suck and you get angry but then you head up to hay bale hill and watch the sun set while you crush brews and blare tunes with your mutts.

Back in KC and already missing watching a sunset on hay bale hill.

I'm going to ask/offer to pay for my uncle to leave a couple bales on the hill this winter/next year so I can continue to sit on them and  blast music while watching sunsets.

Here is a picture looking back at all the hay bales (which are actually like alfalfa or some sort of silage)

I am afraid of Horses and was terrified of the mini ponies (they sprint up to you!)  until my 2nd cousin (25 F) came out one day and called me a panzy and started petting them.

I am no longer afraid of the mini ponies but still harbor a deep distrust of horses in general.

Now I'm just LOL'n again at my dad thinking he could rent out our big barn for people to store hay bales in....like this is how close the barn (white roof) is to all the hay bales but my uncle just leaves them outside on the hill.

[michigancat]

LOL but you can't leave small square bales outside like you can the big round ones

[Katpappy]

Those are round bales that most ppl. leave outside and usually on a hill for drainage.  They are mostly weather proof.  The barn would be great for small square bales which don't last very long in the weather.  Horse ranchers like small bales and may want to rent the barn.  You could charge by the bale and have several renters, since I doubt there are horse ppl. that would want to store enough bales to fill that large barn.

[ben ji]

I'm pretty sure those small square bales have been in that barn for X years and just slowly get used for something I have no idea about (definitely fewer small square bales now than last year)

My very limited understanding of horse people is that you have to be closeish to a major metro area to make money selling square bales used to feed horses.

Anyone that has horses in NWKS also probably has enough land to feed their own Horses.

People in NWKS still have to feed hay to their horses in the winter.

Probably not too many folks with horses tbh and most that do probably have plenty of room for hay storage

Did some digging this morning and old Meade MFG made everything from riding lawn mowers to campers to cabs for tractors.

http://www.oldmeadecounty.com/meade_mfg.htm

The business continued into the early 1980's. In those days tractors started coming out with cabs already on them.... camper manufacturers abounded and the economy started to tank. It was a sad day for the town of Meade when Meade Mfg. closed... those 100 jobs were sorely missed.

what an adorable goddam lawn mower

yes ridiculously awesome
