Nonsense Rascal
Part One of the Understanding Sorce series.
Empty your Cup!
Bonsai has its logistical challenges.
The most blatant one being the "four man tree", the big ones.
So we're putting these 85ft light gauge metal roof trusses up.
About 4ft high, they are light, but flimsy and unruly.
To save money, which has since wasted it, of course, the powers that be already have us working foolishly.
To save a couple thousand dollars on a crane rig capable to set these individually as intended, we have since spent at least double that on man hours.
4 men, in four scissor lifts, driving out singles from the stack and setting them in place. 2 speak English, 2 speak Spanish, and it takes four way communication to do this without ruining the trusses, or injuring, or killing a man.
So just as we tell these newbs trees go outside and they don't listen...
I tell them we are doing this the wrong and they don't listen.
My well thought out observant plan is safer for man and material, faster, and consumes less energy by man and machine.
So after getting frustrated with their stupidity, I told them what they were doing is like having Edward Scissor hands put their condoms on.
As in, yes, the final product gets there, but for Christ sake it is not going to work as intended anymore!
Deaf ears of course....I only make up these analogies to keep myself from going fucking crazy!
Crazy! Each bundle has had a rope tied on the end....
On to the third bundle and my dick head foreman still yells about "let's go" when the rope is still in place.
It's like a game of telephone sending info to the other end of the building, with different languages!
Morons! No plan! No forethought, no observation, no good!
But get this.....yesterday...I was picking tomatoes with my 5 year old and 8 year old, I was handing tomatoes to one to brush off, and one would pop the stem and put it in the bucket...
My 5 year old said, "hey, this is like a team".
He noticed this assembly line teamwork concept which these grown men can not.
Utter fucking Morons!
So...
I want @wireme to become a legit, for profit, collector.
So I thought he should buy an ass.
What better than a pack animal to haul back some goods?
At one point I told them fellers the Egyptians would have had this done already, because one better, safer way to move those trusses was to carry them like a Pharoah.
Then you have this problem with an ass in bear and cat country.
But a braying ass may be one of the best early warning signs of a hunter near, so how to protect it?
How bout a small iron lean to....
Picture a regular cage....
But add a set of bars in between, set a bit further inside the cage than the others, placed on individual or group hinges, so when the ass kicks, they swing out and bop the hunter in the face.
So here's some random shit that pertains to bonsai.
This thread is going to get real boring real fast.
Can you allow me some fun in posting any other random shit, like, "toaster", or @sparklemotion "knitting", or anything else....
That we can think into bonsai relevance?
