I have a orange tree in the yard but they are uneatable but I keep it for the Swallowtail butterflies. I need a machine like that to get rid of the fallen fruit. Probably what they are doing too so they don't rot on the ground.
I ran a similar machine back in the 1980's tp harvest prunes up near Calusa. We were there two weeks until the harvest was over, and they moved the machines down near Fresno to harvest pistacheos. They moved me to a regular shaker for almonds and walnuts, so my time on the wrap-around shaker was limited.
I think the fruit is for factory or shipping. The apron around the tree catches the fruit and it rolls down the canvas onto conveyor belts. The belts carry the fruit to a bin in the back.
When I was a kid, my mom took us kids to a fish hatchery. I went to feed the fish the hatchery supplied food, and a trout nipped my hand. It was not a nasty bite, such as with a bluefish, but I knew for sure I was bitten, although not severely.
In the South, there is a practice called “noodling” where you stick your arm near a catfish, and it tries to swallow your arm, and you then pull it out.
Heh. Had breakfast there 2 days ago. They charge a couple of bucks to get in and 5 for a bucket of food. And advise you to be careful because the tarpon do bite Coelacanth
Back in a past life I picked oranges, one by one into a bag carried over my shoulder. The first thing I was taught was to cut the orange off as close to the fruit as possible while leaving the nub of the stem still attached. They said that nub helped keep the fruit from drying out. Ever since I look for the nub when purchasing oranges. Why take the chance? I bet the machine didn't leave one nub from the whole tree.
1: Someone's about to find out. 8: Apparently, you're supposed to not back down if an elephant does this to you. I doubt I'd have the nerve to stick around and find out if it was a fake charge or not.

Were the prune trees right next to the raisin vines and craisin bogs? Just curious.
Delete#8, I swear that elephant is laughing at them
ReplyDeleteMy thought too.

DeleteFriends had a houseboat. Used to bring the blue cats in by tossing flour tortillas in the water. Don't know why, but the blues loved flour tortillas
ReplyDeleteI've caught channel cats on flour tortillas before.

We used to use Ivory soap. Cut into chunks for floating bait weighted to the bottom.
DeleteThat orange tree shaker thing, do they make a smaller hand held one? Like for guys personal use?

ReplyDelete#1. Amazing how the cops default response was to reach for his gun. Speaks volumes about the typical cop mindset.
ReplyDeleteAfter something happens to you, it's probably a good thing to check that sensitive items are accounted for before doing anything else.

ReplyDelete#1. He gets drenched. Remains standing in same spot. Then without moving from that spot, he looks up. Then draws his gun. Puzzling behavior.
ReplyDeletewet gun would be my first concern
