The journey into the abyss of no return

[SageHill]

Yeah it has the RTH. Problem is wife thinks I am trying to justify getting one with the perks. One day, one day.

You need all the perks you can get. They bail you out of crashing or losing the drone! Especially with the distances you’re looking at.
But …… crashes are part of the learning curve

I love all the big boy toys that you have. Sure makes homesteading easier. Not that this was easy, you have amazing talents, the know how to get things done and the equipment to make it happen.

This is so exciting, you have water! Are you planning to pipe the water to the house or is it too far away.

Explain why the liner please?

 

[farmerjan]

Cause the hole that was opened down to the water would let surface water straight down to our drinking water instead of flowing to where ever it goes and being filtered down. Thus that would contaminate the well, literally would have cow schit going into our water. The liner stretches to where the soil wasn't disturbed at that leads to the water.
Most wells are sealed with bentonite around the casing so many feet to prevent well contamination from surface water. Wells are 4 to 6 inch holes, not looking like a asteroid hit earth and made a hole.

Thank you. I didn't think about the disturbed ground offering a direct route to the water below. Here our water is from underground springs etc and the well drilling rigs all go straight down with the 6 inch pipe or whatever size they are using.... without disturbing the surrounding ground so not opening up a pathway for the water to go directly down alongside the pipe into the water source without being filtered through the ground.
Makes sense.

Boy he is getting big....

 

[Baymule]

Gusifer……. Hahaha!

 

[Baymule]

You just impress the hell out of me.

 

[SageHill]

No --- more like who did you bury.

 

[Baymule]

What breed is he?

 

[farmerjan]

Had to read up on the meishan breed... sounds like the meat is very tender.... Berkshires are known for their more tender meat with more marbling throughout than most of the more common breeds. I was somewhat surprised to read that Meishans are known for big litters with sows having 16-20 teats. I would never keep a breeding animal....male or female..... with less than 12 teats. They sound interesting except for the pendulous ears. They will be more likely to freeze in your terribly cold winter temps...

Hey, good place to start as I like Berkshires...and some of the ones you brought home seemed to have some Berk or something in them with the white face and white feet.
