Hello fellows.

I think this will be third black winter on row..
To be honest, I do not mind anymore, cannot even remember taste of yellow snow

What on earth you harvest on November?

Here is warm but gray, I think there has not been anything else than gray sky for few weeks now. No colors anywhere, just gray and mist.
On the another hand, I know now why they invent black and white television, it really makes sense

I've had it with M$. I went and got an upgrade version of Windows 7 for my boys computer. First I decided to do a clean install. Well, with the upgrade version you can't do a clean install, and it tells me this after I'm finished installing it. So I had to reinstall win xp and then install win 7...again. It worked that time. The only problem now is Win 7 Home "Premium" edition only will use one physical processor!! My boys computer has 2 Physical processors. What a joke. I'm so sick of that company I can't believe they continue to grow. I will never buy another M$ product again as long as I live.

I am currintly running xubuntu on my pc "same as ubuntu but for older machines" I am using the bionc that is in the add/remove I have been having no probs with the machine or my WU's

Ookoo, now I see.

That is actually root problem of agriculture here. Time frame for harvesting is very narrow, only few day on worst case.
That will cause that every farm, how small ever, need to have their own machinery. It is not possible to share those with neighbor or something.
Yield are very low, something like third about southern of Europe and right now price of grains are so low that it is cheaper create energy burning harvest than oil.

Right now exit phase is something like thousand farms on year.


Apropoo,

I have been actually destroying one field once.
When still on school I join city's fire department as semi regular firefighter, diffrent between voluntary and semiregular is that we did make contract with city and we did get salary from every hour, even from those practice hours and those actually created something like 99% of all hours.
There was general practice on every week and then some modulary practice fitted for everybody's CV. So I did actually get salary when I was practising how to drive firetruck on city's alleys.

We actually did have this one very old US build truck called International Loadstar.
It was abnormality on that matter that it did had gas engine 5,7 liter if I remember right. This would be something like 350 cubic inches.

Well that truct did run 2½ mile with one gallone. I'm realatively sure that it did not have power steering and gear box did need pumping gas pedal up and down before switching from gear to another. I forget to do that every now and then and what song did I get from that transmission, I could almost see sparks flying.
It was so funny.. At least from my point of view, instructor did have some breathing problem.
I could play that gear box like harmonica.

Back to field,

we did get alarm about runaway granny, they loose their bolts every now and then and just run to forest like somebody would put LSD to their coffee. Main idea is found them before wolves.
Helicopter with heat camera is wonderful aparatus to found sun heated rocks on local forest, so pretty soon we star use some stone age method, called chain.

We start combing with 100% cover, a.k.a. start march on row and there is fellow on every five yard.
It went as usually untill we end up to end of wheat field, I did take phone to HQ and ask what on earth we should do now.
On my group there was mostly firefellows, usually majority of these kind of operations is powered by civilians but it seems to me that more that half of my chain did have orange suit upon them.

When we did get these kind of alerts we always did wear our fire suit, simply becouse there is lot's of moist, snakes, branch, pointi rocks, etc. on forest so that suit offer very good shelter against those.
That helmet with PC visor is something awesome on dense forest full of branches (I did wear it because I was afraid woodpeckers and my was also cased with aluminium foil, from inside of course).

Problem was that there is no way to enter with that gears, with those metal reinforcement boots to wheat field.
Boss told me that government will compensate damage done to farmer, so proceed. And we did....
I think we destroy few tons productivity on very short time period..

Granny run out of fuel before us (they always do), and we just carry her back to base where there was ambulance.
