Was curious as to how many blocks I have placed in the past 3-4 years. So I selected my entire vehicles world, and subtracted the air blocks. I came up with approx 1,340,959 blocks across all my vehicles. Which for some reason I actually find sorta underwhelming lol
Got everything for the garden planted now :) Its been so rainy, had to squeeze it all in between rain, sometimes I got done minutes before the rain. Planted: 8lbs of Yukon gold potatoes, a whole bag of yellow onions, Autumn gold pumpkins, sugar snap peas (under tight lock down in wire cage because of some wild rabbits XD), 250 sweet corn seeds of Bi-color variety, Carrots, lettuce, Cucumbers, Sunflowers, and 4 tomato plants. I was going to get 10 or 11 tomato plant, and some pepper plants, but they are so expensive =0.
Someday when I have my own place. I want to branch out into fruit trees, and fruit vines/ bushes, as well as animals
I garden a 40', 30' area. I am shocked to hear that about potatoes actually. Its one of my main crops. I bought 8lbs of seed potatoes for 17$ at Tractor Supply, and I will yield about 60-80 lbs or more, that will last me all winter
Congrats on getting it all in: that sounds more like a farmer's truck planting than a typical garden
(Surprised you're growing potatoes, I'd understood that to be a crop that was not cost effective to home grow. Are Yukon Golds a non-commercially obtainable varietal?)
Nice I have tomatoes, watermelon and my dad gave me some "self-planted" cucumbers. My family has more plants, because it is more accessible and sellable
Self planted means that they grew from themselves, from seeds that fell to the ground.
You all are probably going to be tired of me posting about it till I am finished. I am just short of having worked on the Bagger288 for a month now. I am about a little over half way done. Currently standing at 57,509 blocks! I really am excited for the end product, but that can only take time
Was trying to cut a board with a handsaw for the garden today, but the saw was dull. So I got frustrated and gave the board a pitch to go get my power saw... When It landed, it broke where I was trying to cut it.
Experimenting with Large letters on signs. Also I realize that the ETTX lettering denotes that my auto rack is a "Tri-Level", when mine actually only has two levels. So it should be lettered "TTGX". I only realized this after I built and posted it, don't go to hard on me XD
I was just thinking. When we say we're going somewhere and say we are "Going: "up to ___" or "Down to___". Like : "I am going up to the store, or I am going down to work". I have noticed that when I use it I use it interchangeably with no reference to its actual location on a map, or physical elevation. So what gives? What is the whole up or down about? and what makes us choose one over the other?
Typically, terms like "up" and "down" can either refer to the cardinal directions (on a map, North is usually up and South is usually down), but I have heard them used in reference to elevation changes. Regardless of how the phrases evolved, they seem to be meaningless artifacts in slang today.
maybe it depends on where we are? like you could be "up the street", and if the store is to your right from your front door rather than your left, you might say 'down'?
i guess i sometimes say i'm going up to somewhere when its elevated higher above the place i started from... but most of the time i just don't say it :P
