Poly twine is the devil.

I've been digging that crap out of the ground on the place we least for years now.

On square bales, I can see using it though.

We cut the twine and remove it always when we feed. We dispose of it and never leave it on the ground. Drives me crazy when I see it on the ground at my neighbors farm. I like the bearings on my equipment to last. Had to help the neighbor with his Heston round baler last year, twine wrapped around the infeed bearings so tight it would not cut, hard as a rock. Had to burn it out. I told him he should switch to netting, then he would have to remove it when feeding. Said he would rather replace bearings.[/QUOTE]

Married to the job? That's not right, unless your name is on the side of the truck, then I understand. Balance Tim, always balance.

Yeah, but the industry Tim is in, like the Ag industry, the customers have deadlines as well and like everyone want their equipment running now. It's tough to balance and I can see both sides.
My hat is off to those guys who have to go out to a different place every day and fix someone else's broken chit, often at odd times too.
Brent is in that same boat as well.

Good morning fellas. Rain on the way!

You been getting hit by storms too or are they missing your area?

I understand all too well. I do field service too, and being on call is part of it. Hopefully there is more than Tim in the rotation. Just warning him not to work his life away. Would hate for anyone to look back and wonder where all the time went. Believe me, I get it.

Morning / Evening All. Sun is up looking like a nice weekend for the beginning of May…

Lots of home/ family stuff and then of to BC for the work week.

The reefer madness crowd would place that box in the same category as the opioids, which are actually chemically addictive. This is my speed. Very low dose. Very cheap now. The effects of ~3-4 beers at about 90 cents a pop. Very consistent. Nice on a Saturday night.View attachment 338900

I have yet to find the right “high”. I wonder the make up of those. Our labeling is more specific. Not just MG but of CBD or THC, or at least the ratio of each. If THC they usually indicate the type of varietal, sativa, indica or hybrid.

Just to wrap my head around this, you believe 2.5grams of fentanyl is a low dose?

Certainly not, not even saying I agree with everything in the law, I do believe in harm reduction and trying to help those that may not be able to help themselves.

Sadly....and speaking from experience, the best "help" anyone can give to an addict is no help at all.

Can lead a horse to water saying comes to mind, there’s opportunities all around if they wanted out. Social/public funded support like we have in Canada is just a drain on productive people who made the right choices, and when it’s so easy to be a addict because it’s all around(decriminalizedin BC ) and the government pays for their drugs(methadone treatment) it just ends up creating more addicts in the end. The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Yep.
Not as bad as it used to be, but we have guys working today.
I just missed having to work, only because the part wont be there until Monday.
I was aware this was a 24/7 obligation when I signed up.

Most of ours do, those don't for some reason. There is a label required by the state though for exact amounts of CBD/THC per "dose" on each package. I thought CBD would be the ticket but I didn't like the sleepiness. I'm not sure the source of the 5mg(4.95 in that batch) THC in the ones pictured but I've had a couple packages now and it's just a little relaxing with a clear mind. I'm sure a second would put me to sleep. I'm a lightweight. I will never smoke the *s-word again.

What makes you think their intentions are good. Pretty sure all governments want the population dependant on them. At least it looks that way to me.

You’re absolutely right. I’m not sure how I feel on decriminalization, but I’m definitely against taking from productive tax payers to pay for these free loaders “recovery”. More often than not they’re just people who don’t want to work like the rest of us for a good life and just get high all the time for that good feeling instead, usually ending up with them stealing from abiding citizens through thievery to pay for the habits as well.

 

[Bilge Rat]

Until the addict decides to help himself nothing will change.
What we are seeing here is the DA is letting people go that are charged with burglery, theft, distruction of property just because they are addicts and can't help it.
Addiction can be helped but theft should be punished.

The thing you don’t understand is that harm reduction tactics are cost neutral at worst, more commonly cost savings. Police and medical emergency response and the cost on society is much greater when you let addicts shoot, smoke or otherwise all over the place.
We have a store on East Hastings in Burnaby, thankfully we are far enough out that we rarely have issues. I work with a team that has an office in the 1300 block and it can be quite disturbing going to their office at time. Last time I was there it was 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon and I couldn’t get to the secure parking lot behind as there as a group passed out blocking the access. Had to park out front on the street, have the front gate opened to access the front door. That has a serious economic cost that is often ignored by the “don’t give my tax dollars to those *s-words that have decided they don’t want to contribute “. Very few people choose addiction, circumstances in their lives lead them to a way to dull the pain. Residential school survivors, survivors or the indigenous child and family welfare system, veterans and many others are the ones that populate these streets. Not to mention the one with serious mental health concerns that can’t get proper treatment do look for help any place they can get it.

Best guess is that there are around 230 Canadian veterans living on the streets of Winnipeg, did they chose this life? I don’t think so, any that I have spoken to or heard interviews of will tell you that their experiences changed them so much that they don’t feel like they can fit in with normal society. They served our country and now we turn our backs on them, should we not do something for them? It took private industry and a charitable organization to start the ball rolling. Homes for Heroes is working to create tiny home villages to get them transitional housing and treatment to integrate them back in to society. The gov has kicked in some cash but not more than they will save by not needing to provide constant emergency services for them. The will integrate back in to society and become producers again not just consumers of social services.
This is the goal of all harm reduction, not allowing people to be life long addicts on our dime.
The politicians themselves are far greater grifters of the taxpayer dollar than any addict or street person.

As ive seen with several people i know including my sister in law, theres no better rehab than sittin in county jail for a few months to put some decisions in perspective.

I do understand, it’s just my ideology is different. I’m very much against socialism and burdening hard working responsible people, when you pick up that crack pipe for a first time, it’s a personal choice. I want these people to do good in life too but not at the cost of people who follow rules and contribute. Not only do we get our property broken into and robbed by these people, now we’re suppose to feel bad for them and pay for their recovery?(which usually ends in them just getting in for free methadone). Vets are a different discussion, I believe in covering their costs with medical physical and mental.

I don't think government has ever solved any problem ever. All they do is add more expensive levels of burocracy and create an ever increasing government.
