with geese too !
What a lovely place to build a chook yard?
After dozens of cement wheelbarrow loads, you get this:
Cut out lip so the geese have a gradual entry and exit
This technique save hours, use screws instead of wire and 2 holes.
Wire secured to tank
The drainage pipe placed in
What was about to begin
A new day with new challenges and new mercies, but my muscles are sore already
The smaller green tank is out bore water tank, 8,000 litres. The big tank is over 30,000 litres, I moved to align with the other tanks.
A picture of a big tank I moved using my tractor, digging a hole by hand to place it in, and having guttering set up to collect rain water. Two storms now, we have 2 feet water in our big tank.
@ionores not really, trying to set up things

Quite a big goose pond, 4m diameter and over 600 mm deep, will use the water as part of aquaculture, and show you off-grid -living using this system.
Have to cut the tank down 4 inches more, and cement line it this weekend. A busy day coming.
Looks small? But its 4m by 16m in size, and over 100 year old, and full of memories from the past.
\nThe barn as it looks now, removed dead tree, braced it from falling over, walled up sides for chook shed,

Bad storms hey? we got nothing here :)
Notice the power left in the batteries that are old.\n76% left in one and about the same in the other, which I never used, but loses charge every night over.

No smell, you can make the log and big as you like. LOL
That's the little blue house, if people can't see it, a compost toilet, with a 24hr computer fan in the stink pipe, that sometimes on windy days, blows backwards into your toilet pan..... the effect?
Everybody needs a loo, my wife wants an outdoor loo, she loves these kind of country living memories.
The file was cut and pasted 40Kb, and camera is sensitive to clicking, no indication pic is taken.
\nToday I am digging a new goose pond, 4 m diameter and about 400 deep, the sides go out another 200 making the pond quite deep. Cement lined metal tank.

We had a planter box, 4m by 2m and was large enough to grow all your vegies for a family of four, the Diggers Club says such a small space is enough, we just need to be organized in our seedlings.
My PC, bit old, still running Windows 8
A 4 Kb file of me from my new moto phone, thanks to James. Had to copy 5Mb file into Paint and rename it to a smaller file. In Paint a 5Mb file is about 2 metres wide and 10 metres long. Wow. Now the image pixels are 12mm wide and 25 mm long. Way smaller picture.
For example surfing the www in Blackwater on 4G between 6pm and 9pm is a total waster of time, the town has a population of about 2,000 people and it's so slow you can't even view downloads using HTML. I gave up. So I surf at 3AM in Blackwater, and everybody reckons 5G is great. Give me a break. The WWW will never be anything more than 20Kb per second, people will flood the network with video files, both upload and download.
This planter box is nice job, a less than 12 Kb file.

Those of you who think 5G is fast, try uploading 100Mb video files to a computer in the middle of Australia at any time. I surf at 3 AM for a reason. At Dululu I doubt hardly anybody is using the silly bandwidth. It takes 2 seconds to upload a 20K file, and over several hours to upload a 5Mb file, go figure.
The picture files were copied into paint and renamed into a tiny 12K to 4K file, not that silly 5Mb file, who wants print copy quality these days, when you have digital world viewing of files? Why don't cameras have options. I can't stand 5Mb files, simply because my 3G Network cannot handle them?
Kate has nice planter boxes, grow your own vegies. That's nice.
Drat, the phone takes 1 to 6M pictures, not the usual 20K pictures I prefer, hence the upload is way too slow, and my 3G is not uploading the files. Bother
Well I figured out with moto E6s help on www, to change my settings for charge cord to FTP file transfer
and transfer brand new files, thanks to my Son for this gift.

Off to Dululu this weekend to round up all the geese and chooks for the big move.
A Practical Comparison of Mastodon and Micro.blog. It seems TWTXT is not the only alternative to tweets out there?
Actually 3:38 am my local time :)
Finished bracing the chook pen, walled up sheet of roofing iron, fixed door, made a window
The 100yr old barn, can't continue falling over any more.

I hope somebody one day, loves this old 115 yr old house number one, as much as I did renovating it. She was originally built in 1917, and added to in 1952, with pennies in the walls to verify this fact.
Dane wants me to build one of these/ have the frame, roof. Have to make some wagon wheels.
Our pressure pump ran out of water. we finally are taking out more water than it's flowing in.
This is a problem for any off grid living, learning to live within your means.

Tried out a brand new hedger the Stihl ASA 8500 nice light very quiet.
Compared to the Stihl ASA 8600, little heavier (400 gram more) and older, hence louder.
Both electric 18Volt, both nice.
The long 12 hour day went nicely :)

my mobile phone last night had a wash in the washing machine, the screen got water logged, and now the phone is RIP. Where do I buy another $10 phone from Telstra from? Mine older one was unique I an sure, maybe even a dinosaur :)
@prologic_blog Nice 57 video on TXT.social.
Maybe get an expert to do video slides and add video to the video, rather than black screen. Place same words under the video, you need a video editor of course. Give Emmanuel Higgins a call. He is one I know does a good job, your cousin.

Get new assistant, called wade , a 19 yr old country boy from Nanango
Nice rain, nice sunny day, nice smell of fresh. What else for new mercies every morning?
\nWe got a nice storm today 25mm rain. How good is that! Rain in our new rain tank.

My camera cable doesn't work anymore. Darn.
Except my wife has never downloaded an app before, nor have I?
Grace on your new job. New mercies every morning is a promise from God.

wow goryon is finally here!
The idea that Ingenious Aborigines were smart, clever famers does not surprise me, farming bundles of native grains as far as the eye could see, according to some historical accounts. Good on you Bruce Pascoe.
Many mock his findings and research, but Bruce is getting a following even if some of his ideas are stretched.
Bruce Pascoe wrote a great book called the Dark Emu. It's about aboriginal lands that were cultivated using native seeds, and ground to make bread. The first Australians assumed wrongly the Aborigine was mostly primitive. Not so it seems

@felixp7 The different strain is called “D6-14G” and could be even more infectious than the original virus. "\n\nWith the family of 32000 bases of genes, and sexual recombination's possible all the time, trillions of different strains are possible. After all COV19 is one of 57 family members, 6 are called virulent to man, and most of them are like H1N1, Sara, Mers , Pneumonia and Bronchititus viruses, these are all COV19 related. SO folks we are just talking about a influenza virus here. Of course you can get reinfected....

@prologic @markwylde what a strange video, making fun, to make a point. Remember the bali bombing, hundreds of dead and wounded, suddenly not enough hospital beds to go around, how is this the public's fault. Governments have reduced hospital beds intentionally world wide. Hence we cannot cope with any medical emergency.

I think we planted them here, what it looked like before 
All weekend my wife and I planted 27 new fruit trees. What a weekend !
Planted 10 more fruit trees today
\nGardening at it's best, nice on the eyes, soothes the soul.

Has goryon got running as an app yet?
just watched Alone, a surviving show where 9 men try to live on vancover island, before winter sets in. Cold, bears, wolves and cougars all prowl about.
Took 3 hours off my sleeping time, dreaming about survival.

@vgn @prologic You're lucky in the USA, you have bigger download speeds, in Australia we barely get anything like this, even on a good day.

The lithium batteries alone cost 250 AUD to replace, they charge up in 10 minutes and run for 90 minutes before running flat, allowing you 2 hours of work between charging's. (You rarely switch on machines to maximum current draw we have to be aware of noise factor when working in our 560 guest motel for mining workers some who are sleeping during the day.\n2020-09-20T19:20:52Z\t@https://twtxt.net/user/vgn/twtxt.txt> @prologic (#2tjspma) You're lucky in the USA, you have bigger download speeds, in Australia we barely get anything like this, even on a good day.

The three tools I carry for hedging, a 18V blower, a 18volt hedger and my rake, that is a rake tool, fluff tool and shovel tool all in one application.

You can also use the rake as a shovel to guide piles of leaves and cuttings under your hedges.

I sweep the top of the hedge from side to side.
It helps with what I call fluffing, removing cut hedge cuttings, and fluffing up the new (now freshly cut) hedge so it looks pretty.
