A bucket of water and a sponge works for wheel. The tire can be hosed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novazeus Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 @Marty Backe i use to use a compressor with an air nozzle that would pick up 90% alcohol to clean my rc helis so i was thinking that might work good. @LanghamP for example again, a trip to my mailbox and back is about a mile. that’s also where my packages are delivered. to my service gate like this morning to unlock it for my cattle hauler is a mile walk in my pasture. trust me, i walk more daily than anybody on this forum probably and at 63 years old with terminal cancer i can still kick ass. my young twenty and thirty year old friends call me “farm strong”. i’m not handicapped in any way. my young friends can’t hang with me on the ranch work wise. i’m hoping instead of grabbing a polaris or the jeep or truck to go catch a cow, i’ll be able to mosey around here on a wheel. mostly to save time. my yard is a little over a half a square mile. trust me growing up out here and learning to ride a bicycle in myaaka sand was no fun. not sure about the 16 inch tire but the 18 inch should handle the pastures ok. gonna learn on the road however. yeah this is not a hobby/sport for me. my time is precious so if they don’t perform, they’ll be junk for me. maybe they’ll perfect those drone boots u fly around on. i got a lot of property to cover. after irma, with all the trees down, drone boots would really be handy. just google earth 1640 cypress creek rd, lutz, fl 33559 and u will see what i’m talking about. and if u know somebody that wants it for $52 million, 6 month due diligence, not waiting until they get zoning, i’m outta here my whole life is in flux. i’m living in a non converted cargo container, i’m camping out out here. i might only sell a portion like twenty acres and then go ahead and build myself a house out here because i’ll be stuck here with the cows on the remainder. my property taxes are $1200 a year because of greenbelt. without the cows a zoned, taxes would be $600 k. and then with my prognosis of 3 months to live over three years ago, it’s kinda like why bother with any of that. i just get done what i can get done daily and hopefully start over tmrw. i’m a big planner, any builder is. it’s weird not having any plans because u been stricken with cancer, the fast, aggressive kind. no mets that i know of. like i said, i don’t go see doctors, they already gave up 3 years ago. so yeah, the wheel works, great, if not nbd i’ll be on the drone boot forum.

novazeus Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 and i’ve been bottle feeding Bob’s gf Betty since may twice or more a day. saving her was quite the task. i don’t think she’d made it without cannabis oil. the normal antibiotics and serums weren’t cutting it. 7 days a week. never ends. and that’s ok.

novazeus Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 oh yeah, i just remembered how we did learn to ride a bike on the ranch. u didn’t have enough strength in ur little legs to get going in the sand so we’d get pushed down hill in the pastures and then crash. don’t think i’ll try that to learn.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Maybe hiring some arborists / cleanup workers might be a worthwhile idea rather than trying to do everything yourself. I get the independent lifestyle, but sometimes time is money. And additional help can be money well spent so you can spend time on other activities. There must be some good ranchhands looking for work? Also they would be good insurance against if something should happen to you, you would know the cattle and dog (it's a beaut BTW) are well taken care of if your estate plan is well written. One other idea is to hire a real estate agent that has experience with large properties who can help deal with developers. That way you can be sure your interests are well represented and to get a fair deal. What do they say, wearing too many hats can make a person a jack of all trades and a master of none? I'd be spending some of that money enjoying life rather than working so hard still. Maybe get a class A RV to live in rather than roughing it. Rethink the fun : work ratio and rework it. If your pastures are like any of the ones I've seen I don't know if an EUC would tackle them well. They usually are very bumpy and if there's lots of sand the wheel will get bogged down easily. Not a great feeling. Maybe the Ninebot Z might work, but it wouldn't be a lot of fun trying to balance ride over that much irregular terrain. Unless it's mildly bumpy then maybe it would be okay?

novazeus Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 yeah idk obviously how hard it would be to ride a wheel in my pastures, guess i’ll find out this winter. all ur other suggestions i’ve considered but for too many reasons to explain, like , no there aren’t ranch hands to be hired. i don’t consider myself a master of any trade or skill of the many i have, just better than any other human. the ranch sale is pretty complicated. google my name hank king and cypress creek town center and read some of the newspaper articles. i thought about an rv but like in irma, they’re less safe than the container i’m in. i have my boat here that sleeps 4 that i thought i might use as an rv here but haven’t moved into it yet because it’s not situated the way i want it. another on my to do list. i have two older sisters that could pitch in and help me if they chose to and they are silent partners on the land but they won’t lift a finger. i’ve had to do everything, mentally, physically and monetarily. curing my cancer, hello, obviously is the most important thing for me, and i can’t even find a doctor that will discuss my treatment with me. maybe now that medical marijuana is in florida and now they have medical doctors that are marijuana doctors. they’ve had 8 hours of education on medical marijuana, big woop. if you or anybody on this forum ever gets prostate cancer, there are forums where prostate cancer survivors can plug in there numbers from their diagnosis and find other survivors around the world and how there are doing. i’ve done that. found similar people. they are all dead. upon initial diagnosis, psa 35.4, testosterone 884, gleason 5+4 score, 90% of my prostate is cancer, extracapsular and pelvic and lymph node involvement. other than that bone scan clean. the fact i’ve lived past my 3 months to die prognosis is a miracle. july 2018 if i make it, will be 4 years. last psa 0.6. no doctors, no presription drugs. Bob is pretty strong medicine too. until ur head is where mine is at, it’s pretty hard to understand. almost everybody lives thru this before they die, obviously only once, unless ur like one of my cattle haulers that dropped dead from a massive heart attack last month. as far as riding my pastures, when and if i conquer pavement, wirh the 18s, i’ll take it to the pasture. falling out there is nbd, unless ur on horseback.

novazeus Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 if the eucs don’t work in the pasture then maybe this will. that’s y i ordered it. slow but still faster than walking. if it doesn’t work then waiting on drone boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Things always have to be more complicated than they need to be hey? That's too bad about the lack of farm help. You would think in this economy people would be interested in work. That's a nice boat you have. And a pretty good first mate! I was just trying to think of some ideas to see if there was any way to help free up some of your time so you can enjoy riding around a bit on these EUCs.

novazeus Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 i understand. it is what it is. i can’t even get a farrier to come take care of my sweet donkeys and horse and i’ve had 2. $125 for 30 minutes of work. no, people are extremely lazy. employees are more trouble than they are worth. once i either contract with a buyer for the entire ranch or with a portion of it, life will be a little easier. probably because of growing up on 1200 acres in the middle of nowhere, and my impatience with stupid rude humans, my goal once i sell out is to live reclusively like i am now. just me, Bob and Star, my cat, and a few cattle with names. i don’t even see any of my gfs anymore because i don’t want to. can’t eat in a restaurant because food poisoning might kill me. been there done that. google fda side effects of radiation. cannabis oil boosts m6 immune system up back to a normal level but doing stuff like driving is prohibited. idk if anybody on this forum ever tried cannabis oil, but chances are, if they did, they only did it once. it’s not easy to take in the appropriate doses. like i said the dispensaries r saying i was taking around 60 doses daily. i seriously doubt the tiny doses they prescribe would kill cancer. the reason they prescribe such tiny doses is because humans little fragile minds can’t handle it. fortunatley for me, betweem 18-20 i did a lot of orange sunshine but mostly windowpane acid and God knows, how many pounds of psilocybin mushrooms, so my mind kinda knew the road map of hallucinogenics.

novazeus Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 about 7 or so years ago i met sarah at a little college bar i use to ride my bike to late at night. we hung out a little bit. no romance. she was working at shangrila in tampa, a bikini bar, now scores. i went to visit her at work once and her pole dancing was like nothing i’d ever seen. she was a sweetie. unfortunately, she caught the eye of a pro wrestler and he wound up marrying her. dave bautista. never met him.

novazeus Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 that’s me about that time. a little fatter then i am now. i’m selling my 2008 ktm superduke r to a boat captain buddy of mine in ft lauderdale. hoping he doesn’t kill himself. not knocking euc’s, haven’t even tried to ride mine yet, but hard to get real excited after owning and riding this radical ride.even tho i’ll never straddle ride anything again, i thought about keeping this ride as a collectible. they only brought 50 to the US in 2008, the first year. i had to drive all the way to the alabama border between atlanta and birmingham to get his one. about 18k invested, selling for 6k at only 6k miles. typical loss on motorcycles.

When I saw those paths they looked familiar somehow but I was wondering what would make such a narrow path? You made me remember visiting our relatives who had cow pastures, and the cow paths they had. The only thing to look out for is fresh cow patties. The dry ones should be no problem.
