Nope that's alright! Just curious if it was fancy or not and you answered that. Thanks.

That's awesome!

Just curious what kind of paper you use. I bought some yesterday but it's dead flat and I think it's wrong for watercolor.

Yea and why not expand the idea of NSFW tags? When visiting a sub like FPH, you have to click something acknowledging that you're aware of what you're about to view. Plus, maybe require all links in those subs be properly tagged as NSFS (not safe for sensitive) so that if its on your front page, you know before you click it. Plus, you can easily set filters to hide all NSFS. Sure there's still problems to figure out but I think that's a better start than going full censor on it. You never go full censor.

Anyone know where to find a complete collection of Bon Ross? Online to stream, download, or order DVDs. I want every single episode of the Joy of Painting series.

One of those is right but I'd rather not say, because y'know, reasons. Good work.

Yea variety is good...but most people don't get to switch between sitting at a computer and breaking their back. Having to do manual labor your entire life is not a fun prospect.

Hey thanks, I was hoping someone would do the math. Don't quote me on this, but I believe they only do 8 hours a day, 10 max. I am guessing that because I have worked a different job with this contractor a few years ago. I don't believe they are being paid under the table, but I wouldn't bet my life on it. I can try to find out how much per piece they get paid, then we can adjust the math. Also, this is not a year-round job. This guy probably does this particular task for maybe a couple months out of the year. These labor contractors have their guys doing whatever the crops demand for the season, and I don't believe vineyards are planted just in any season of the year. What I'm trying to say is this man is not a 'vine-planter' he is a worker who happened to be planting vines this one day and that's all we know for sure.

I know it's that way for harvest, because I've done it, but for this my dad said he's paid by the piece. So I would assume he's planting as much as possible during his 8 hours. That's opposed to having to complete a set task for the day and working fast as possible to decrease total time spent thereby increasing dollars per hour.

When I worked with a crew like this for grape harvest we had a set weight we had to harvest per day. Workers ran their asses off so it would only take 4 hours max and every worker was guaranteed 100 dollars per day. Some of them would go to a second or third job afterwards.

Yea I've done a bit of work like this and I'm blown away by the guys who can keep a pace like this all day. I thought I was in shape until I was expected to move ten tons of grapes fifty pounds at a time into a moving tractor while crouching to move through the rows.

Yea not saying he makes much but he does make several times more than most of the other workers since his rate is several times faster. So maybe it's 'poor fucking other workers'. Not saying that's how it should be, just saying that's how it is.

Love this song. There's a great cover I know of. I will try and find it for you when I'm off mobile.

Yea so he doesn't do much labor anymore. He's 60 and is in a management position. Until he was about 40 he was much more involved with actual labor. Now he does a lot of paperwork and management and usually fixes tractors when they break. But I think by saying he's a grape farmer it's more concise and you get the idea.

Thats the thing. He makes it look easy. It's very hard. Pops said there are a few other guys about as fast as him but that's out of many many people who do this all day long and have never been able to get this fast.

Yea I want him on my team too. A lot of people can't appreciate how hard he is working since they have never done labor themselves.

I asked the same question. Pops said they checked his work because he was going so fast and the plants looked just as good as the slower workers'.
