Pictures of the cow poop sprinkler system next please.
Update on this. It now feeds directly into the center pivot system. Asked my dad last night specifically to answer to this.

Are all of these old abandoned buildings on the SD Ranch? It's an impressive collection if so.

Yes, that’s like 1/10 of them. We’ve got old houses and crap everywhere.

Right or wrong, this makes me think of The Homestead Act. A house per 160 acres. Or "quarter section" as my dad LOVES to say when talking about land.

This sounds amazing, center pivot sprinkling cow poop slurry?!? I assume you cant water within X amount of days before harvest to let the cow poop dissipate?

You don’t water near harvest but I doubt anyone would say anything

How many handyman jacks do you need? Well, at least nine.

I asked my dad about them and he said they suck crap and are good for parts for other ones because they bend and break all the time so these are just “parts” handyman jacks. lmao.

the only reason I found that song was because my second favorite turnpike troubadours song was on the same playlist

*back when I was a kid my grandpa smoked a pipe so we had empty Sir Walter Raleigh tobacco cans to put nuts and bolts in and pour out the oil sopping up stuff. seriously we had like a million of these cans and then my grandpa had heart surgery when he was like 75 or 80 and just quit cold turkey and now he's kickin' in his 90's



my grandfather had at least nine million of them and it's (the innards) the best smell in the world.  if i knew where to buy these things, i'd buy a few cans to set around the house like potpourri.

What a great idea. My grandpa had a Lincoln Continental and holy crap did that leather smell good. The place I got the image from sells it!

Both good songs but my favorite is Bird hunters. 100% of the reason I got a pointer instead of a lab for bird hunting. It was dumb and now I have a little terrorist.

apologies to sys but didn’t get the chance to get more cow pics. Drove by a field with 100 bulls in it (it’s the time of year where you keep them separate from cows) and wanted to take a pic but was driving and it was muddy and I had to pay attention. The sight of 100 bulls in a relatively small space was pretty incred.

Look at this efing guy.  Renter went out to check on cows in flint hills, and some shirtless dude was in the process of scaling the KDOT tower on the property.

No, old age.  He would be 101 if he were still alive.  But he was a Gleaner combine man and a John Deere tractor guy.

hell yeah

I remember debates among farmer kids on the value of a cylinder combine (John Deere) vs. a rotary (Case IH, Gleaner). Pretty sure all the John Deeres are rotary now so those cylinder purists look pretty silly now! :lol:
