What Are You Doing Right Now

Thankfully it got better and turned into a good discussion. But those early responses were all very clearly people who knew a lot less than the OP and were just throwing out wild guesses about things they knew nothing about as if they were serious recommendations.

That is the way I feel when going back and trying to fix old SQL Jobs that somebody else keeps messing up, lol.
It's like they take random bits of code and shuffle them around to see what it does.

Building out a massive Resque farm.
-
Paying some bills. I hate paying bills.
-
Not as much as I would hate not being able to pay them, though
-
Major Mac crash. Screen went haywire. Took a screenshot to show and.... it didn't save!

Got our first hops harvest ever out of the family farm last night. This is just one row of 1st year plants. Next year we should have ~30lbs of hops per plant.

Interesting... Might need to plan a trip north next year... I'll trade some labor for some fresh hops!

Haha, the amount of labor that it takes is staggering.

I've never seen a hops plant... are they low on the ground? i.e. back breaking when picking?

Quite the opposite actually hops grow on bines (vines) that grow up instead of out. This year we unwound the bines from our guide ropes and picked them that way. This will be impossible next year as the quantity will be crazy. Generally you cut down the bines at the top and bottom of hand pick on a table.
-
This is when they were still fairly young but gives you an idea of how our hop yard is setup.

That is so cool. Never saw anyone growing hops before. Is there much of a hops harvest in NY in general?

In the early 1800's our area was the hops capital of the world. Unfortunately blight and economic downturn caused that to go away.
In another few years (I think 2018?) 90% of all hops used in NYS have to be produced in NYS. So there will be demand very soon.
-
This is just 400 plants. Early spring next year, as soon as the ground thaws, we will be planting 400 more.

That's a weird law. They are limiting the consumption based on the production that people can and/or want to do?
