What I do best

[sberry]

Not rocket science. But this rinse water saddle tank on my sprayer. If finally dawned on me to add a couple brackets and a T with valve in the suction line and I can pull fresh water thru the bypass for some rinsing, I can tap it for hand wash and to rinse jugs,, as a side benefit I have a spot where one tank doesn't do it all and can pull on a bit of make up water. As a side thought could or should find a real sensitive check valve to put in line but I can keep suction on it while switching.

This is going to save me a lot of grief, should have plumbed this on years ago. I can use either 35 or 55 gal tank. It still is amazing even with technology how many of lifes problems can be solved with a welder and a torch.

They are technology.

What is rare is the problem solving ability.

They are technology.

What is rare is the problem solving ability.

And a little ingenuity

We tend to over complicate stuff too much nowadays. I find the age old adage still applies "Keep it Simple Stupid"."

My issue is its always a toss up between being deliberate and winging it. I usually got to do it twice,,, and I do to get it right. I had some interference when I started it, didn't write it down or draw it out and by the time I rounded parts I forgot about it, cost me an hour do over this morning. but I worked a couple more preventive problems out.
I used it, the weather was changing and debated with a gues, shorted myself 10 gallons on the first mix, I made it up with the jug and then parked over the bank a little to pull a little rinse water thru.

I am not much for fine tedious work, I am a speed demon once I get going and am in between a pit stop and going to a major fire. More like an installer vs a machinist. I got to make a little better saddle scheme for the tail end yet, went down a lot of ruff road. I might be able to score some water closer to the job too.

35 yrs and just starting to get good at it.

I solve a lot of problems welding simple brackets on or running a screw in. Drilling holes has got huge easier with the advent of the hi power battery drill.

OK. I'll be the first to ask. What's the rig with all the rakes and brooms used for? Your little helper seems to be rather amused by it.

Hey, has anyone seen my box of single hole conduit straps?

Sold in the yard sale.

It was an old tined weeder, used to have steel tires. We removed the tines over berry rows and the brooms and rakes weed over fairly small plants.

I figured it was for something like that. I do like the white, raised letters on the tires. That just completes it.

Seems to work well. Sometimes you have to create or innovate a new tool to do the job.
