I have a cabin on 7 1/2 acres, of which half of it is seeded down to alfalfa. Im not a farmer, but I have told adjoining landowner there to treat it as if it were his. I want it mowed, baled and removed. He can have it, and yes, he is doing me a service. ( he also farms the adjoining 60 acres around my property for alfalfa, so its not like he has to bring the equipment just for me.
This is the 3rd year of him taking the hay off of it.
He also runs a small construction company in the time when he is not farming.
I wanted some work done on the driveway, and asked him to do it. I live 3 hours away. . I told him what I wanted and he did it. It took two semi loads of gravel, which if I'm not mistaken, are about 18 yds, or 20 tons. (can someone verify) He told me he worked one afternoon, spreading, leveling and wheelpacking it in...(skidloader),
Needless to say, I got a bill, which I knew was a possiblility, and I paid it, but #1, it seemed high, and #2, I would have thought that the hay he was being given from my property, at no cost to him, shouldve entered into the equation somewhere.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

If I'm whining, tell me so.
