  • Cleanup at the depot. Getting ready for building... I will need to get the Clark Michigan Tractor Shovel and the John Deere excavator running again.

    Would love to have you do a background story on how you came to pickup/discover this place and how you collected all your gear, just would love to know more about your life, such interesting stuff you have going on there

    You should talk to the crews thst work on the roads and when they tear up a road to redo it, you can get the truck loads of stone and chipped up asphalt and put down on your road to stiffen it up 😊 that pa2a stone is really great for driveways when it rains it gets compacted like concrete

    Ultimately Alan will realise that to do everything he has planned, he needs to become the first true CYBORG. He has the scientific knowledge and plenty of spare parts. As he wears out body parts he can just replace them. Half man, half hydraulic, plus clip on tools.

    I don't know why I keep watching you...maybe you remind me of an old friend. I'm a NYC gal retired at 50 in Baja San Felipe on the beach, after camping 10years cross-country to 47 states with my dog. I guess I loved Utah, most, but you are easy on the eyes and intelligent, too. And I love engines. Visit any time.

    WIZARD you're amazing with all your "BIG BOY TOYS" and having the knowledge of how they work and knowing their maintenance needed and finding all the parts you need to get them running - as good as new. You're a WIZARD with multiple skills and a creative human being and a "work-a-holic" always working, working, working and enjoying what you do best. That's going to take you forever moving those block of wood - you need a "go-to-trolly" to cart that stuff, maybe you can make one LOL!!! I see you've made a wall out of your "builders blocks" looking nice and tidy - well done WIZARD - time to rest your body - nah spoke too soon - that "generator" don't want to move it's stuck to the ground - you a hardcase character but always trying to solve a problem - with your mean machines - looks like it's got flat tyres LOL!!!

    Man, the irony of seeing you log those logs while in the background seeing two loaders and a digger is hard to watch. Your work ethic is amazing! It pains me to see you have the equipment but not enough of it running to make your life a little easier :) When those monsters come to life you'd be getting so much more work done! Keep on, keeping on Wizard :)

    • @wesman7837

    I've had fun with one of those cutoff switch arrangements on a Cummins powered Kenworth semi I used to drive. I was coming down a long hill into a town when through fatigue I guess, the wire decided to break off. I only realised I had a problem when I went to shift down another gear and no revs because it had cut fuel. An interesting situation as I'm having to slow down for the town, swing around a fairly tight approaching bend too, all with no engine braking and knowing there's no engine running so no compressor to refill the air if I use too much on and off braking so tried to judge a brake pressure that could remain constant, preferably till I could pull over somewhere out of the traffic, also with no power steering. That blasted wire was the problem and I was very lucky to spot it almost straight away one I swung the cab over. I just stripped a bit of insulation, wrapped it around the thread clockwise then did the nut back up on it and it never got any more attention after that.
    The luckiest thing was I'd dropped my load grossing 45 tons about 400 kilometers ago and was returning empty so that was bloody lucky for me. I'm not sure how I'd have done if it had happened the other way around. I know it's brakes almost certainly would have gone and hauling it around that bend would have been, , , interesting lol.

    You are living the dream Allan. You're property is amazing brother. I am in aww at how much work you have put into it all. How did you come to own such a vast plot of land so secluded. It is everything I have ever dreamed of. Burning sage brush is a way to bless and purify and show respect to the land spirits.

    Years ago, while in the process of moving, my trailer burned to the ground, turning nearly everything I owned into smoke and ash. To keep my spirits up I came up with a new motto: "Fire hot, burn up all my chit". Only just replaced some of those tools and equipment this past month.
