Yeah if the area is over fed it means there are too many cattle there, or it hasnt been given time to regrow between grazings.
I remember flying over a mountin that had been dug out as a big mine.... (Kennecott Copper Mine) it was weird basically a inverted mountain...
Yeah it can take a decade or more for some trees to start producing fruit, and possibly another 5 or more before they start producing heavy loads. Depending on the type of tree, the soil and the climate.
Rock climbing is cool, but Im not really a fan of carrying the gear so I preffer to go bouldering. This is one of my fave places to go bouldering, Its about a hour from where I currently live (or 30 mins from when I was living in the mountains)
Yeah Im glad when I
dropped that 300lb weight a couple days ago, and basically "took a knee" to bring it lower to trust it back and keep balance. That I didnt do much more than scrape that knee on the ground. But at least I got
one squat out of it first
emotion_kirakira But yeah that could have gone worse on my knee if I didnt manage the drop better.
Not saying Im smart...yeah you wouldnt want to imply that XD. And its true I only have a batchelors of science, smart people should have a masters as least

Mango is awesome, the first month about a block from my condo there was this really awesome street vender who made awesome fresh mango smoothies (Not much more than mango, ice and a bit of thai sweetener not that it needed it). And that was about 75 cents. I got one of those most days.
A lot of times there isn't any time between cull/birthing/eating to regrow any grass, so the place gets stampeeded, and then the big guns have to come out, re-seed, and the cows are moved to a different pasture... But again, that's money.
I admit, I kind of enjoy looking at mines from the sky. They fascinate me. Sink holes do too, and so do "blue holes". Holes fascinate me in general. I always wanted to go spelunking, but that was even more equipment, and I just couldn't face that. Also, I've got this small/gigantic terror of creepy crawlies in caverns...
I enjoy indoor rock climbing when it is possible, versus outdoors. I never owned gear, I prefer to rent mine at the indoor centers when I go, and if I go with a partner, even better, because harnesses cost a lot of money to buy. Bouldering seems pretty interesting though, not going to lie. I require my lines, because I get sudden moments of imbalances where I will be fine one moment, then dizzy the next, and I'm terrified of falling. That being said, I'm also fairly sure-footed. Hiking poses few problems, unless my knee decides to say "Nope nope." Honestly, I would love to go horse-back riding up trails again someday! That would be fun to me! I've only done it once, but I hear riding is like biking, you remember it fairly quickly (Which as I've dealt with horses off and on, I know I adjust pretty quickly).
Yeah... I think we succored the trees perhaps 3 or 4 years before having to let them go. My dad did want to put in a water pump on the property, but it cost money, and we weren't living there at all... Since the 20 acres will be split between 4 kids, I get to look forward to 5 of the acres. I want to move there and fix it up, but 1. It requires living in a tent for a few months to a year... 2. Eventually, plumbing of sorts, and some kind of electric generator. It's Washington State, rainy side. I don't know how much electricity solar panels will net there, or how much would be needed to keep a house functioning around the clock. 3. It's a mountainside... a good portion of the land isn't actually very usable. 4. I'd need a job that would allow me to infuse money into the land essentially, and have the time to even play with the land...
Yeah.. Just be careful. Once you need a knee replacement, you're screwed for the rest of your life. I don't need one just yet, but I have a hard time bending, scooping, or even touching my toes.
You are
EXTREMELY smart. Smart to me isn't measured by how much someone went to college, because in that case, nice to meet you, I'm a college drop out and I graduated the lowest 25 percentile of my class in high school. ~doffs top hat~ I mean, I don't have a super good job or what not, but I pride myself in not OH MY A SQUIRREL!
Let's also put it this way. I know someone with a PHD in child psychology. I hate talking to him. Oh, he can really nerd out on the chemistry and such behind it, but when we discuss basic psychology, he's somewhat... dunderheadish... and if I try to talk to him about ANYTHING else, he is like a sieve and I'm trying to pour some water into that skull of his... There is only so much the sieve is going to retain as surface tension. Some of the smartest, most well-educated and to-date people I have ever met never even went to college. I'm not belittling your education in the least, because I do think education is important, but I don't want you to think it is a defining moment. It's like... Asking an accountant to start talking about gangs and jail cells. They will have a pre-concieved notion often enough, and never bother to dig below a surface.
No, what makes people very smart is their ability to think, asses, and act on their feet. It is measured not by what you know, but by what you understand. It is something you get through your experiences in life and can apply to almost anything. Smart people can still experience wonder in life. Intelligent, ones with their degree that they ground out by putting their nose to a grind stone and missing so much... I'm not belittling them in any way, but they often (Not all of them) completely miss some of the beautiful things in life. So to me, you are smart. Trust me, I've met many a man who had a pretty face, but there was no oxygen to the brain.
This page has it down pretty funny. Actually, I find the whole web-comic funny, because... well.. After living through a small portion of it... So much of it is true.
eek
That drink sounds awesome! I kind of wish I could try it!
