I have the rear transaxle assembled for the golf cart. I had to put the axel tube on. Now ready to add to the cart and do rear suspension. The cart now has a lower gearing for more torque when doing work on the farm.

I got the front-end suspension rebuilt on the golf cart. I took off every bolt cleaned the parts, and replaced parts.
I am glad to have this done and move on to the next part.

I still think this is a while away as hardware is a whole other level of complexity.
Not to mention lower level development on hardware is a die'ing art supplanted by people that want to get rich quick doing react and quick saas websites. There is a skill set about _how_ it all works that is no longer needed.
I fell into this trap for years, only in the last year have I gotten serious about trying to learn a lot of lower level stuff. I have a long way to go.

I got the 40 lb one from harbor freight. It is a bit fickle to work with but worth it with time savings on cleaning. I am happy with it.

So I learned in kdenlive you can split up clips into sequences and then order them together on a main timeline. Such an awesome thing to learn it has really helped with this latest video to only edit in sections. I can concentrate on each part individually. Someday I’ll be good at this 😂

I worked on getting my dad’s old parts cleaner going, it is over 40 years old. Then cleaned some grease and oil. I followed that with soda blasting and these parts are looking clean.
I have a little more cleanup then I am ready to put the wheel hubs back together.
I am glad with the progress made and learning I have done.

I successfully diagnosed and fixed a problem with my truck with no outside input. It ended up being the tensioner pulley for the serpentine belt. So not a hard fix but I am just happy I was able to figure it out on my own.
I don’t grow up learning how to fix or diagnose car issues. My parents would just get new cars every couple of years. So over the last few years I have tried to figure this stuff out myself. I still have a long way to go.

I finally finished making my magnetic bandsaw fence. Yay for 3d printers.
In my journey of getting this grizzly bandsaw back up and going. I needed a fence, so I decided to see about making a magnetic fence. It worked out great.
Both magnets have 180lbs of downard force each. They are securly fastned to the powertec extruded aluminum.
I did some test cutting tonight for my YouTube video and it worked great. I can't wait to finish up the bandsaw table, and put the bandsaw to work. I have some christmas presents to make.

I was able to get a harbor freight dust collector for $100 on Facebook marketplace. Here is step one of the modifications I am going to do.
I don’t have time to do a lot at one time so I am going to do a series of videos where I make changes and test effectiveness.
First step is to switch to a single port instead of a Y.
I will also say 3D Printing has changed how I look at projects and customizations.
Stay tuned.

So I abused the crap out of my greenworks electric chainsaw and cut a part of a cedar tree into some thick slabs to make some Christmas presents.
This cedar tree was cutdown over 7 years ago, and I finally decided to get it slabbed. I don’t have an Alaskan mill or anything. I just used some brain power time and got the slabs.
Flat is not a thing with these so there is going to be a lot of work on the bandsaw, jointer and planer.
My ultimate goal is to turn these into jewelry boxes for my daughters made from wood from the house they were born and grew up in.
Now I need get a moisture meter, and make sure they are dry enough.

I 3d printed a part for my bandsaw. I have had a bandsaw I have been trying to get back up and running for a couple of years now. My biggest hiccup is the guard holder.
I bought a whole new bandsaw blade guide since the one on my used bandsaw was crumbling due to bad metal. Well, I have had a number of problems, but the last one was the blade guard. It wasn't built right, and I wans't sure what to do about it.
Well I finally thought about it and this piece isn't critical to be metal. Just sturdy and the right size.
So I took the one I had re-designed it and 3d printed a replacement, and it fixed my issue perfectly. I am so glad it fixed it the first time too.
Now I can finish getting the bandsaw going agin and using it.

The new workbench is done. It is 30”x8’. I used a lot of new techniques. Then I sealed it with a quart of polyurethane. Minus the casters or only cost about $150. I had use permanent casters because mistakes were made. 😂
I made a bunch of mistakes. From mismeasuring to not accounting for planing boards down in the design.
I am excited it is done and I can move on to some more projects, after I clean my shop… again.

I released a new video on YouTube today about using spray emitters with your drip irrigation system.
I don't like straight drip because the locatino of my plants move year to year, so I wanted to spray. However, with raised beds the solutions haven't been great so I finally figured out polytube, and spray emitters.
In the video I walk through using them, and show putting them in place, and a bit on how I organized them. I am surprised there hasn't been more videos on how to do this so I diceded to fill that gap.

The slide is up and the kids love it. It went decently well building it. My other kids wanted to help so it got real crazy real fast.
Not sure if they enjoyed it or got anything out of it, but I will assume they did.
If nothing else they saw how things are built to put that little nugget in their head.
It was also super hot in the sun so that added to the fun 🤣

I am building a platform for the kids play set to add the slide to. My daughter really wanted to help, which I am not good at.
So I took this evening and precut everything so all she needs to help do is line things up and make sure we are square.
I am also hoping this goes quick enough it holds her attention. If nothing else I’ll get it done faster.
It has been a learning experience for me to try to include my kids in projects. We will see how it goes.

I got part 1 of my next video recorded tonight on a bit of an overview of drip irrigation that uses spray emitters instead of straight drip.
This is my first time going this route and I am liking it.
Next I need daylight to install. Then b-roll and edit.
I also converted over to a 4 port water hub for automation instead of 4 individual ones. I needed more and the weight was a bit much for the individuals.

I have been reading a history book on farming. It has started with how land was apportioned before and after the revolutionary war.
That part is surprisingly interesting.
What caught me is they had a blurb about “Manifest Destiney”.
It got me thinking with has hard as the concept is pushed in high schools, college history, and sjw’s. I wonder how true and all encompassing it really was?
I have come to learn in reading history, post school, that the things pushed the hardest in high school, while true, wasn’t quite as significant or bad as described.
After all the best lies 90% the truth.
I now have another topic to research.

So a happy accident.
We move our chickens around the property in a ChickShaw, and we throw them food scraps.
Well our mower has been broken down for the last 5 weeks, so no mowing, I haven't been too disappointed about it. Well we finally got it going again Tuesday night.
Well, my wife did not want to wait for the weekend, for me. She took it out mowing and found a bunch of areas where volunteer vegetables are growing where chickens were.
This is kind of cool. She went around those areas so we have extra garden spaces that are fertilized and growing, that we didn't even work on. Kind of a cool thing. We shall see how they develop.
We might wait a while every year before mowing to see what kind of stuff pops up.

True, and I think that is the thing that keeps me going back and reading is I keep waiting for that day. 😆 Granted most of my life has been centered on technology, software, cloud infrastructure. Only in the last few years have I worked on learning things in the real world. So I have a lot to catch up on, and have a bit further before I have enough of a base of knowledge to start putting those things together.

2023-06-09 04:13:15 UTC

Sometimes I wonder if it is worth learning some things.
I just spent $80 on 2 books that is the complete history of the internal combustion engine, and the development of the diesel engine.
There is literally no reason for me to learn the history of engines. Even if it has been a curiosity for years, I gain no value in learning it.
To work on an engine I don’t need to know the history, society is moving to electric engines so the future value is
negligible.
I have read about 8 history books in the last 3 months on agriculture, tractors, and farm tech. Most of it does not gain me anything.
So is it really worth it?

It took about 10 hours from setup to tear down for me and my wife. I did most of the work, and my wife helped where she could. She just couldn't do the evisceration, even though she tried. She also couldn't do the kill either.
I think we got the flow down fairly well, the biggest issue is we now need to figure out a few things in the actual doing.
Here are areas for us to work on:
1. Cutting off the head. I don't know why we had so much trouble this year when in years past this just wasn't an issue.
2. More efficient rinsing of the bird after evisceration. We were using a hose, but we really need a sink right there by the table.
3. The actual killing of the chicken wasn't bad, but the death throws are tough since they are violent at times the chicken wants to flop out. So we have to sit there and hold the chickens until they are done. This is a huge time waste. I need to work on this more.
4. Evisceration could go smoother/faster, but I am not sure how. For the first 10 I was trying to re-remember everything. I then got smoother/quicker. That said with how fast joel salatin can do it, I have lots of room for improvement.
5. Scald and pluck 2 at a time instead of 1 at a time. The new scalder is awesome and our first time using it, but if we can do 2 at a time we should save quite a bit of time.
6. Organization of equipment. Currently I just don't have a lot of room so this needs to get better. We did just get a 40' container so that is going to help a lot.
As you can see there are a lot of areas for improvement, but considering where we started to begin with. I would say we have made great headway.
Also we put 150lbs of chicken in freezer. We averaged 6lb chickens this year, woohoo. I'll talk more later on how we got that, and why, for us, it was a surprise.

I tried to get one of my cubs running tonight. I replaced the points and condenser since that was supposed to be the issue. No success. However I freely admit I might have done it wrong since it is my first time ever to do this. Lol.
It also got my mind off of the prep work I have to do for chicken butcher day on Saturday. I just kept thinking about all the things I have to do, but can’t until tomorrow.
I wish I had learned a lot of this earlier in life that is why my kids will learn it before they move out. They will then have fallback skills if they don’t want to pursue the farm.

Another cub decided to follow me home. Darn.
This is going to be a decent parts tractor, especially getting the hydraulics off of it.
