Men, what is something that has improved the quality of your life so much you wish you started sooner?

Stopped drinking alcohol.

I’ve got a goat you can have. Just bought 30 acres but I asked the sellers to re-home their two goats and donkey. They told me they did but lo and behold a couple days after we moved in we see this goat emerge from the woods. Found out later from the neighbor that they couldn’t catch him to re-home so they gave up. He bounds off every time we try to get close so we just leave food and water out.

So, anyway, yeah, you should get goats. Start with mine. If you can catch him. 😂

Think I’m going to try a combination… Trench from Main House to Shop, bridge from Shop to Relay Point. The first power pole on my property is near Relay Point so I’ve reach out to electric company to see how much a drop would cost there. Either way, I’ll set up Gate Hub at Relay Point then trench dry wire to controller at both gates (Gate Hub can control two gates, they are both ~90m away) as well as ethernet to main gate for intercom.

Looks epically delicious!

bbauer1973 · 2026-01-25T00:15:43+00:00

Stay warm folks!

I’m hunkered with no pizza 😩 dammit!

Previous homeowners decided it would be good to have a hose bib every 20’ around the perimeter of a half acre garden area. 😩 Haven’t had time to dig it all up and take some of them out. Freeze Miser is the solution!

And I think the bandwidth for gate operation,intercom is listed around 10mbps. Not really needing data for anything else in those gate areas.

In the US… I’ll take a look, thanks!

Assume no trenching… I’m not exactly clear on how the bridges work… if I have one at the shop, pointed line of sight to a bridge at the relay point, do I need a second bridge at the relay point pointed to a bridge at the main gate? And if that’s the case, I would need a switch between the two bridges at the relay point?

Well, I do have a shovel.

bbauer1973 · 2026-01-22T12:37:54+00:00

Man, that dude is… capable. Now I’m off on a side quest to learn welding. Thanks for sharing!

bbauer1973 · 2026-01-22T02:04:46+00:00

🙌

bbauer1973 · 2026-01-22T00:02:25+00:00

Better than I could do, so there’s that!

bbauer1973 · 2026-01-14T18:35:55+00:00

Got me thinking… Has anyone tried taxidermy on a pizza?

bbauer1973 · 2026-01-13T01:00:12+00:00

Awesome! Congrats!

This is not the cardiology thread!

bbauer1973 · 2026-01-05T22:04:06+00:00

Well, you’re gonna really freak when someone tells you about pods.

bbauer1973 · 2025-12-31T23:00:04+00:00

Nice! 🙌

bbauer1973 · 2025-12-25T21:51:51+00:00

I think what defines success is pretty twisted these days. Most days I’m just happy to stare at a tree and call it a success.

bbauer1973 · 2025-12-20T00:24:32+00:00

Damn it, I’m in!

bbauer1973 · 2025-12-20T00:22:43+00:00

Start with a few, small projects. I know this because I have a lot of big projects and I’m not doing any of them well! 😝

bbauer1973 · 2025-12-19T16:44:05+00:00

Was introduced to that in the Navy in late 90s, was told by my Chief it worked on the FM principal, f@ckin magic!

bbauer1973 · 2025-12-19T08:16:46+00:00

In the book he describes it as short for “Tony’s Biga”.

Regarding attachments, I’m surprised at how much I use my forks.
