#10. Here in the Yakima Valley, you can see fields being irrigated during rainstorms. WTF? you might ask. Well, turns out that irrigation water is allocated and must be used or lost. So, if Farmer Jones is allocated X amount of irrigation water this year and decides to be frugal, water wise, and to not irrigate during rainstorms, then next year the Powers That Be may well say "Well, Jones, you did not use your allocation last year, so We are cutting your allocation this year." Even if the year is expected to be a drier year than last. Idiotic method, but it is easy and requires little from those same Powers.
While you are correct if they’re getting their water of the Rosa Project or out of the River, back in the 70’s when center pivots were introduced into the San Luis Valley, CO you’d see the same thing, only for the growers, it was just too much trouble to go out to start and stop their center pivots, and they were on deep wells, so… they just kept pumping and called the extra good. Now days here in the Lower Columbia basin, computers run the center pivots and their watering schedule is based on evaptranspiration projections for the week. If they get rain, they make adjustments for the following week.
My anointing on #8 . After the first wall went up we switched from nails to screws after ruining a bunch of studs . Not one nail in my house or barn . Big strong screws . They call me the wood butcher .
For test shots, you have to fire several rounds to check out velocity (maybe tweak the charge weight), instrumentation, etc. No need for a fuze...in fact, it's probably an inert mass simulator.
#3 is what we refer to as a National Guard ring VT fuze. They seem to fire them like that quite a bit. It’s a lifting lug, by the way. Eight 97 pound 155 mm to a wooden pallet, banded together. Lift the pallet off the truck using a boom loader, break the pallet down, remove lifting lugs, replacing them with the appropriate fuzes (preferably tightening them with a fuze wrench), set the fuze, load and fire. The 155 is separate loading. No cartridge case. Shove the bullet in the gun , load the propellant bags behind it and close the breach. Load the primer in the little breach located in the big breach. It looks just like a 7.62 blank. Eod1sg Ret
#1: When a playful puppy encounters an unattended special needs type person without his handler. That's the vibe I get from this anyway.
#5: Anyone in my city trying this would suffer a traumatic and well deserved pothole related injury.
#7: Imagine you're a truck driver, just trying to earn a living, maybe to feed your family, and one of these twats crashes head on into you in a Darwin Award worthy death.
#8 is too relatable. I'm also prone to "I'll just freehand this cut, what could go wrong?" Lots, actually.
3 Wouldn't the lifting eye mess up the ballistics a little bit? 8 You guys wondering how it happened..don't you think maybe the end result is just for the sake of the gif?
#8 - Yeah, I've screwed up that bad on carpentry jobs, but how did that happen?

ReplyDeleteHe cut off about 1/4 inch, how could it be too short now?
Not sure how it happens, but I've made a second cut and came back to find it was too short before my second cut.
Delete#5: The driver reported to the motor pool supervisor he was suddenly getting poor gas milage.
ReplyDelete#8: Shoulda used a thinner blade on that saw.
#2 - Too bad you don't have software that can make the bug crawl off the picture and onto the web page!
ReplyDelete#1: Good Boy.

#10 must be in Florida. Or, as I like to call them, Floridiots
ReplyDelete#3 It doesn't look like a fuse was installed.

# 8 is me measuring once and cutting three times. I totally f*ck up carpentry to the max.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I can't drive a nail straight to save my life.
DeleteI cut it 3 times & it's STILL too short…
DeleteThe only thing I can think happened in #8 is that the pieces of moulding got switched OR the guy didn’t have the other end right.
