Irrigation pics to come of friday..

[Wet_Boots]

Party hearty, dude. Drinking some of my last bottle of 1991 Carneros pinot noir, and listening to music older than you are (Kraftwerk's Autobahn)

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

This is what I'm enjoying. Plus I've got to get those slabs of ribs ready for Cowboys tomorrow with da guyz.

16 apple trees my company dug moved and reinstalled into the hill side.
then we irrigatied it with stream rotors and mp rotors.

they came out wicked pissah

[Wet_Boots]

The shrub version of the stream rotor was always a maintenance problem, since the nozzle could be easily removed by anyone.

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

anyone care to take a guess what that is?

What a mess
http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i1143849_Library3643.jpg
This controller started with 10 zones installed last fall.

after some drip and adding around the proptery all 24 are maxed out.

9 months!

this account=huge.
decent spray patter

24 Gpm @ 70 pounds
http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i1143842_Library3660.jpg
Great coverage...we run this zone for 15 mins every morning.

A number 6 number 6 and a 8 gpm

Agreed..The mp blow its out of the water no question asked.

[Wet_Boots]

I would just install regular 300 popups on the risers, and gain some reliability, even at the cost of needing extra support.

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

You know duct tape comes in multi colors. Why not mix in some Patriot blue and give it some football colors.

WB- I cannot take the credit on the duct tapped 12' pgp's.

my boss was feeling like an irrigator that day..

it works. dont give much with the push...

but yes the 300 12' with 3 Gpm nozzles would of been my first choice.

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

Slap a pigtail on that thing and I'll bring my RM next time in Boston and we'll check all 24 zones in maybe 30 minutes at most.

This is the type of technology we need to get this place running like a top

there is never a budget ever..

I have been trying for my boss to get a rain master for a while.

if you come to the cape i will be taking you on a serious tour of this place...
its my pride and joy of the installing and service work ive done.

I learned about irrigation the most on this proptery!
i love irrigation!

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

my last pics!
spray pattern with the blues is clearly superior!

I love the rain curtain!
REd nozzles=for kiddies
I owe those pics to fimco!
the 8 gpm shooting easy 40 feet with great coverage.

single stream still gerthy
http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i1143892_Library3673.jpg

the way i like em...already spread open!

me and brian my buddy working together to get the bobcat washed!

http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i1143895_Library3696.jpg

[Kiril]

That single steam may be "gerthy", but it will perform much better in windy conditions than your "spread open" stream.

Great coverage...we run this zone for 15 mins every morning.

Why?

[Hank Reardon]

A number 6 number 6 and a 8 gpm
http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i1143840_Library3655.jpg

OMG that duct tape is repugnant. Sweat together some 3/4" copper risers and go beyond ghetto bradda. I can't believe your "boss" authorized that. :confused:

Sometimes I think their is a method to CSR's madness. I can't imagine that Rotar would do that but he loves to see his boss lambasted over decisions he's made. I mean a 12" PGP swung up on poly?! Taped to 2" by 4" stakes? At least use rebar with ring clamps at the minimum. I'd personally use 3/4" copper with rebar support and use adjustable impacts. I've never been a fan of single stream gear rotors on risers. Will those PGPs survive the winter?

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

By the way Rotar I've switched to the 5004 plus. Got some I'm going to try out with PRS in it.

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

FWIW that was about 10-15 mph..Im not sure if you took a look @ those pics Krilie, but 1 thats on the water,2 its a open field...so yes it was holding up nice to the windy conditions..Thanks for asking

Why?

cause my boss feels these plants could use the water every morning due to the fact that they were recently transplanted..Which is why we built a tempoary nursery.

May i ask you a questions?

Why are you such a girl?

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

Hank-MY big boss is the guy that Ownes the company!!!!

So i have to nicely work around his ways...In most cases I say to him
I would of done it like this.....or with a smaller pipe...

but I mean come on guys its a sprinkler ductapped to a stick thats 2 feet in the ground...

Who CARES!!It works my boss =happy....He signs my paychecks so I deal with it....

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

Man Forget all you guys.... When ever I post pictures its like i have to include a 2 paragraph about how i DO NOT DESIGN OR CHOOSE PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!



Its honestly getting old saying this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over..


Come on guys relax....or keep the comments more positive..

Thanks CSR

Key word here that was not taken into account. Temporary nursery.

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

YOu could never do me wrong..

That comment was directed to HANK and KRILLIE...

It seems both of them enjoy being negative, or not positive.

Which is fine cause we haven't seen much picutres from Kril..

And according to my sources Kril invented water for us all to enjoy..

Hank helped invent water but was more of a lunch time Gopher.

Time for my morning bike ride so I'll post a pic of my pregame meal

If I decide to sell my biz I'm going to hang out with you some summer and help you get a high end service biz going. We'll get Leary to put up the venture cap.

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

I just got really hungary!

That looks good!

how many hours are you going to cook em for?
Slow I assume?

[Kiril]

How about you stop getting you panties in a bunch. bigger droplet size = better wind resistance. Spin it however you want, this is a fact, and it has nothing to do with red, blue, gray nozzles.

Personally, I think that area is begging for micro irrigation, new plants or not.
Given the slope of the area and what looks to be nice "neat" rows, what better conditions could you ask for? Looks to me like your watering more weeds than anything.

We all know your a grunt, but how are you going to learn anything if no one points out flaws? Learn to take the comments for what they are, constructive criticism. The more intelligent you appear to your boss, the more likely you will get a bigger piece of the pie.

So what was it like to invent water?

Smoke them for 4 hours at 205 and move to oven at 205 til 2pm. Started at 6am this morning. Making baked beans with fresh jalapeno and Shiner beer to top it off.

BTW, perhaps you should check your pictures before making statements like the one above. I really like your 10-15 MPH wind. :waving:

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

I actually tried to edit that...
I knew you were so on my balls that you would point that out....

Thanks brotha! for proving my point that you are a internet troll on a message board dealing with irrigation...

You are a grown man on a internet message board knit picking ever post of a up and coming irrigator...

So do you have PGV's pumping blood in your heart?


Check out my last PM to Krillie:

Hey pal how about you dont post in my threads and i wont post in yours?

lest see how he responds.

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

He waited for a lull to take that shot. I'm sure that is what happened. The Cape does get a lot of wind. I remember they were going to put wind turbines on it until the Kennedys threw a fit. Crazy thing was Joseph Kennedy Jr.? was on the alternative energy committee. Typical elite arrogance.

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

Carolina/Tenn for pork, Kansa City/Missouri for ribs, Texas for brisket.

lol It was windy that morning...

Remeber Krilll that flag is on a hill, and i was in a depression about 60 feet under it.

Is it possible you were there and knew I was lying about no wind?

Just call me a liar right now pal

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

Give it a break guys. I hate having buddies fight. The industry and this site needs the unique talents you both bring.

this "grunt knows nothing except what he is told"

sorry you have the wrong guy.

This thread = another reason why posting pictures on here is a waste of time.

[Kiril]

Consider this. Perhaps if you didn't have such an abrasive personality, you wouldn't open yourself up to alot of the crap you receive on this forum. I just pointed out that the flag on the top of the hill, where you would expect conditions to be the most windy, is not moving. Your the one who suggested I take a closer look at the pics, heh?

FYI, I grew up in NH and vacationed frequently on the Cape, so I am pretty familiar with weather conditions in that area.

I do agree with you on one thing. Those who post pics tend to be the most reserved about critiquing. Purp rarely crticizes a pic. I'll try to take up some pic slack. Mine are just boring and don't have much variety. How many times can you post a bad valve?

Any comments purp gives towards me i appreciate...

Where are Krillies pics?

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

Kiril's talent is presenting research papers. Some of the threads he has put in I have found fascinating as a student of water and irrigation. Right now I'm doing an experiment with moisture sensors that I would never have done without kiril being on this site.

[Kiril]

I see. In your world, people who post pics can critique, everyone else is just a hack. I don't carry my camera around with me everywhere I go, and even when I do, I usually don't have the time to take a pic, or I just plain don't think of it.

Anyhow, I'll post some pics so I can be "qualified" to comment in this thread.

That first pic is a typical lawn boy sprinkler fix. What did they do here?

[Wet_Boots]

Is the steam furnace working, or is there another hissy fit going on?

They forgot to screw it into the nipple?

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

By the way the Mantis pick looks cool. My daughter and I used to hatch them every year and turn them loose around the house. It is amazing how many emerge from the shell and they all look like mini-mantises. The japanese have a fighting technique based on observing mantises defend themselves against big prey.

[Kiril]

They forgot to screw it into the nipple?

:laugh: Nope, look closer.

The mantis is my favorite insect. Those two insect pics were taken by my friend who has some serious cash sunk into his "hobby".

Here's one I took of a mantis out front of my place. I was about 2 inches or so from the mantis to get this pic with my somewhat lesser camera.

And one of my BFF.

That first pic is a typical lawn boy sprinkler fix. What did they do here?

They didn't flush it first thereby allowing rocks to keep it from seating? The cap is on loose? It was a trash head and was reused? Screwed a newer 570 cap on the old style body? Pulled the peeling plastic off the stem and reinserted it thinking that was a fix? Used the nozzle screw as a flow adjuster? It is a 15H and should be another pattern?

[Mike Leary]

Is that a RB body with a Toro top??:dizzy:

Ding ding, we have a winner. :dancing:

Needless to say, it was not working very well.

[Rotor_Tool]

OMG that duct tape is repugnant. Sweat together some 3/4" copper risers and go beyond ghetto bradda. I can't believe your "boss" authorized that. :confused:

PGP's and Duct tape, is there a better combination? It's like chocolate and peanut butter, some things are just destined to end up together.

Temporary or not, that is repulsive.

No offense CSR, I know you were following the advice of your "boss".

That first pic is a typical lawn boy sprinkler fix. What did they do here?They put a 4" inside a 3" body?

[DanaMac]

Hey Kiril, how about stopping the lame personal banter that we all can't get in on. Especially the kitty cat and bug pics. This crap is getting so lame.

Rotar - you're doing a good job. Doing what "the man" tells you to. Just like an employee should. All these guys b!tchin' at you would be b!tchin' if you were telling them as the employer how to do things. You'll do just fine when you're able to go on your own and do it the way you want.

[Kiril]

Hey Kiril, how about stopping the lame personal banter that we all can't get in on. Especially the kitty cat and bug pics. This crap is getting so lame.

WTF are you talking about? Perhaps you should take two and read thread again in morning. :clapping:

[DanaMac]

WTF are you talking about? Perhaps you should take two and read thread again in morning. :clapping:

What don't you understand? your personal conversation with Rotar is getting old, and the bug/kitty photos are irrelevant. Whatever dude, let's just drop it. My bad for starting it up again.

[Kiril]

What don't you understand? your personal conversation with Rotar is getting old, and the bug/kitty photos are irrelevant.

I think your a bit confused about what a personal conversation is. Was I making plans to go down to the local bar with Rotar and have a beer? That would be personal/private.

Anyone can contribute to this thread, there was nothing personal or private about it. Fact of the matter is, I simply made a statement about the effect of wind on droplet size, asked a question about watering frequency, and got attacked for it.

The pics are for everyone to enjoy, especially since it was pointed out the lack of them. Anyone can enjoy pictures of nature and animals, there is nothing personal about it. In any event I fail to see how they are irrelevant in a thread about beer. The whole thread is irrelevant.

My comments were objective and referred to your boss as a git for allowing such shoddy work. Honestly, a rotor duct taped to a stick? I would never do anything like that let alone post it. You had to have known what kind of response that would garner. If you want a "warm fuzzy", your duct tape was evenly spaced.

I did help invent water just before the internet. This lunch time Gopher sweats all his risers because I can. I am the boss. I only hope you are learning from our constructive criticism what not to do when you have your own reins.

I would not compromise my reputation by doing shoddy construction. It's not b!tching but merely laying a baseline for professional work. If we as contractors condone examples such as these, we only validate the stereotype put upon our industry.
