Whenever I have had youtube viewing problems in the past it was because my flash player was way out of date. You might want to try the latest version of flash: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Things to do during these stinking hot days--open cab on the old International--at least I just get to haul the blocks.

Is that silo going up or coming down? Not much fun either way, but at least if it's coming down you will have a nice supply of very rugged blocks (silo staves).
Short Story - When I was just a little guy I watched my dad take down a 24'x60' silo with a 20 lb sledgehammer. Him and another guy started on one side and started working their way back to the other side (started at the 6 'oclock position on the bottom and headed towards 3 and 9 o'clock), breaking the first row of blocks as they went. I remember that it went pretty well until they got about 50% across, then the weight of the silo was really compressing those last blocks. The beat on them for what seemed like an hour, finally it started to crackle/pop and they beat feet in opposite directions. The silo kind of "walked" down, then stopped about halfway. We all stared at the half silo sitting on a pile of mangled blocks and steel trying to figure out the next step. The solution came from a big frontend loader...a big push on one side finished the job.

Goin up--but remember, it had to come down somewhere a few foot of silege in the bottom--take the top hat off piece by piece--rope that down--& start dropping blocks from the top down & 1/2 dozen teen boys moving the block as it lands. No breakage--neat band tightener tool--6' 1/2 inch steel rod with a hollow 1" impact socket welded to it--drop it,work it onto the tightening nut & walla--you'd think these guys had done this before--or at least watched Dad or Grandpop do it

The amish in our area are very adapt at re-use. They still know alot of old-school technology handed down from father to son. They throw out very little. The modern world is now imbracing these same concepts and calling it "Green". You wonder who is really behind the times.freetown fred wrote:Goin up--but remember, it had to come down somewhere a few foot of silege in the bottom--take the top hat off piece by piece--rope that down--& start dropping blocks from the top down & 1/2 dozen teen boys moving the block as it lands.

Still has a few centuries of life left in it, doesn't it FF? Silos an me don't get along too well. I worked on a dairy farm when I was a teen. Got the privilege to milk 40 alone on Sunday evenings. Silo unloader got jambed so I climbed up the enclosed ladder that emptied into the malt room and cleared the unloader. On my way out I slipped on the slime. Lucky me I didn't fall too far before I grabbed a rung and stopped the fall. Not a scratch. The second tangle was when I got gassed uncapping that year's fermented load and spent all day inside the dome shoveling the decayed silage down the shoot. Got all goofy (not comments from the peanut gallery ) when I came down out of the silo. Next day I had a good case of pneumonia. Thank goodness for antibiotics and a needle in the butt
Well, back to coffee talk. A couple of us didn't have time to partake of the breakfast, sorry Freddie. I did grab a cup of joe to go. Headed down to DVC500's and helped load up his last bit of goodies to haul from NJ to NC. The going went off without a hick-up. Took us better part of 10.5 hours to make the trip down stopping a couple of times to lighten our loads and once to refuel both the bodies and the fuel tank. He's happy again to be back in the bucket seat at the new NC homestead! I was happy with the gas mileage, loaded bed and pulling ~ 7,000 Lbs the F-150 4.6 3V got 11.8 mpg.

I see a problem ... it's pretty serious!
There's a plate on the front of the Ford there .... it has too much ... yellow in it ...
But that's not nearly as bad as the "Spirit of America" plates ..... oh, the irony!
