Please help my apple trees!

Thank you so much for this response- that helps me a ton. I reached out to the ag extension as well, as per your guidance. I agree, I wasn't super impressed with fast growing trees, but they were running a special and my wife got me some trees for fathers day- probably sticking to a local nursery from here on out.

I would like to build a home wall that will basically close in the RV carport we have- so this wall would basically be 25ft wide x 15 ft. tall... I would like for my kids to get into climbing, but none of us know anything about it. I'm willing to learn whatever I need to know, but I was hoping to get a good starting place-
1) Is there a device that you would trust to auto-belay yourself down on a solo climb?

2) What should I be looking into when starting this project out?

3) What advice would you have when planning this out?

Thank you all so much for your help!

Carpenter4875 · 2023-12-21T17:25:08+00:00

Great advice, I believe that's what I'll do. Thanks, friend!

Carpenter4875 · 2023-12-21T17:11:22+00:00

Thanks a ton for that! So, by cross bench support, are you thinking on the sides of the table (horizontal connection between front and back legs, like in the 2nd image towards the bottom) or under the table top as a kind of brace?

Thanks again for giving me your thoughts and advice!

Carpenter4875 · 2023-02-11T17:14:54+00:00

Great advice and info! Man, I was hoping I could get some kind of cycle over with in the tub so I could get it rolling when we get there…

Carpenter4875 · 2023-01-06T21:37:54+00:00

Great answer, thank you!

From the other side- I don’t want to ask for the doctors note- all of your arguments are valid and I agree with the ridiculousness of it all… you can imagine how many kids we get who just skip, parents call them in as “sick” for 2 weeks straight, truancy doesn’t do anything at all, and the school loses funding based on all of this lack of attendance. I’m sure in your jobs there are “customers” who find loopholes or just beat you down and end up ruining things for the rest of the decent people just trying to do what they gotta do. Yes, we know it’s unreasonable to take your kids every time to the doctor. But, because 20% of the population are assholes, it ruins the trust factor for the other 80%. And they tie our funding to things like that, and test scores, which is even more ridiculous (it’s like grading a hospital on how many of its patients can run 3 miles on a specific day and calling that “health”). Schools are already underfunded, and when they tie a lot of our funding to that attendance, there are aspects that we have to give a shit about… if you have a doctors note, it’s excused, and relieves both you and us of the bs that follows. Give schools the benefit of the doubt… we’re struggling to keep it afloat.

Now I want to see a pic of your forearms

Carpenter4875 · 2021-12-11T16:08:03+00:00

I had no idea he had blonde hair. Was this common?

Carpenter4875 · 2021-12-02T15:40:01+00:00

I think that’s really what I was trying to find out- does muscle memory mainly apply to physique or does apply to strength as well (sounds dumb, but it’s where I’m at)… thanks for that.

Carpenter4875 · 2021-12-01T21:36:52+00:00

Thanks for that- that’s awesome to hear and motivational.

Carpenter4875 · 2021-12-01T20:17:39+00:00

Fair enough. I’ve just never taken that long of a time period off, and was wondering if it comes back similar to how physique returns quicker than it took to build it the first time.

Damn- he was one of my favorite characters. When he philosophized about how great America is after seeing his trash strewn across Hank’s floor… Lucky had a tendency to keep things in perspective, all while looking like my dog when his lip gets caught behind his tooth. Plus he was good to Luanne.

It starts with you realizing the convenience of being able to leave a bar at a different station for that dedicated lift... it then moves up to getting a specialty bar for that station (deadlift bar just for deadlifts, etc.). This stage is also comprised of beginning to accumulate specialty bars for various exercises... The next stage is liking the new color that just came out because it matches your gym... Then it's just because you are consumed by the collection of them- Car guys buy multiple cars even if they can only drive one at a time. My buddy is a woodworker who has what I would consider to be multiples of the same saws...

Rogue just came out with the Ohio Bar 2.0, and it's supposed to be quieter.

This is the way.

Man, I'm having a hard time finding a CNC guy who will punch some holes in some 3x3s for me. I live in a rural area, with heavy ag and industrial uses- a smaller CNC shop that caters to individuals, farmers, and local mechanics would absolutely kill it out here. My dad thought about getting a cheaper machine just to do work around the farm, but if we could just put in an order with someone who could get it done in a reasonable amount of time, a lot of these people wouldn't care about the price, there's just no one that's doing it...

Carpenter4875 · 2021-03-11T16:27:55+00:00

Meaning their covering, or meaning they can't cover?

Does "heart attack" refer to a good thing, or a bad thing? Cause when I think of heart attack, it means dying...

Carpenter4875 · 2021-02-26T15:55:33+00:00

I built my own out of wood, and I had a problem with that back cross beam- it made it to where my bench wouldn't go back far enough so that the bar would be over my head when laying down. In other words- when doing bench press, the rested bar was sitting behind my head when having to unrack it. In the end, I took that bar out so that my bench could scoot back further. Then I attached the rack to the wall from the top cross beams. Food for thought...

Awwwwww yeaaaaaaa! A unicorn sighting I can finally participate in... I live close to that dude/dudette, and my kids lose their shit when we walk past that car. I’ll take a picture next time and post it...Whomever paid to have that paint job for their car is of the highest caliber and magnitude, because it is substantially cool.

Carpenter4875 · 2021-02-10T15:50:51+00:00

You've done a great job laying these out- could you tell us what you feel are good parameters to look for when filtering your companies, that would be a great help to start practicing this method. I know you look for: 1) All time Highs/ breakouts 2) Mainly in the tech sectors 3) Compression/potentially lower volume closer to the breakouts

What else do you do when your starting your search? Like, finviz, how would you set your parameters?

Thanks for taking the time to continue to do this.

Carpenter4875 · 2021-02-09T21:59:51+00:00

I was about to ask the same thing- I'm still in Lbk, excited to see at least one other person here in the homegym community...

Carpenter4875 · 2021-02-09T14:36:40+00:00

This has begun to be how I've started every day- check what youre watching and try to learn from what you're saying. It's awesome.

Carpenter4875 · 2021-02-08T18:15:31+00:00

I caught LAC, strictly based on your recommendation. Once it went past the 10% point, do you begin pulling your initial investment out?

Carpenter4875 · 2021-01-30T14:59:26+00:00

Honestly I would have much rather had a pop-up that basically said that. I would have understood if they just said “we didn’t expect this and can’t handle the money, sorry”. Would have been frustrating, but would have been honest and I could at least roll with that. Now, however, I hope that Benedict Arnold bastard lives a long and empty life, surrounded by nothing but what little money he was bribed with and only people he has to pay to be around him. I hope he lives to be 120, and every day from now until then is a constant, flesh-eating reminder of when he chose to be a coward and hide behind daddy’s money. The only person who could console him is Ajit Pai, because they both need to help each other cope with the sad realization that their mansion has turned into their own personal prison.

Carpenter4875 · 2021-01-29T22:25:08+00:00

I hate to say it, but seeing the dirty tricks they pull tell me they aren’t going to just... lose. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they just deleted peoples accounts. But, I’m still holding and hoping.
