    Hasn't LV gone to recycling wastewater already?  I remember that Santa Barbara had ceased all new construction because the local well water was being drained faster than it could be replenished, and that was 15 years ago or so.  Also saw recently that one of the two main reservoirs in the SW (Glen Canyon, or Hoover?) is only 26% full now and hydroelectric power to a big portion of the SW United States may stop.  That's very scary, to me.

    5am yellow jacket nest exterminating that’s right outside my shed. All this property and the little bastards always seem to pick the most inconvenient place. Flooded them with Talstar P. I don’t want to use a dust with the beehives nearby.

    Just ensuring everyone’s portrait and landscape orientation is working. Some may have the lock on and not know it!

    Thanks for educating me as to what I’m eating!

    I have been watching some black hornet looking things building a nest in my camper fridge vent.  I have to get that taken care of soon.  Hoping that when I move it 15 miles they fly away and don't come back.  It will be a night time inspeciton/operation.

    It’s been quite the day. 

    Bearing seized on a 1000# capacity mixer (drive side of course). When it seized it didn’t tell the motor. As you can see a 35/70hp motor doesn’t care. Broke the shaft. We’re in the process of attempting to weld it back up and turn it down until the replacement arrives in 2-4 weeks. Triple sprocket, triple chain, seized bearing pieces, seals and rope packing all out. For reference it’s an 8” shaft turned down to 4.5” and keyed to fit all of the gadgetry. 8.25’ long.

    It’s not gonna be a cheap fix. The weld job may not even sustain until the replacement comes in. We know that going in, but we had to do something. I’ve split my one shift into 2 until we can get this mixer back operational. Staggered them 8 hours apart to share the other mixer. Of course, none of them are happy. It’s great being a business owner lol

    Have welded those up and turned them down and they were fine.  The problem is if it got bent further back.   Have one that’s 27 feet long in the shop right now.  2 to 4 weeks and new is a better option imho

    No bends or further cracking than what is seen in the pic. Looks like it just twisted the end off. New
    one is already on order. Our local machinist came over and measured everything before he ordered. My guy is welding up the broken one, the machinist will be there in the morning to work his magic getting it back into round

    We had the same fear but it turned out well because a local non-profit entity bought the property for future preservation.  Whew!
