bring on the rain

Its been a nice but cold rain,couple days of this with some sun shine...good..I was given a broken pressure washer(very small) and got it working enough to rinse the tractor off.Its a little stronger than a small airless paint pump but thats all I really needed..It had about 1 hour run time before it overheats..I found the brand maker but not that model..however most of that stuff is basically the same..got 14 dollars in it so far and two trips to the store,45 minutes on the web and there will be a phone call or two to the manufacturer to see if parts are available..it leaks...I have had a very busy couple of days looking for work to fund my new project,its tough out there for commuters right now...we will see what happens ,in the meen time I will play the lottery..

part a and b macropoxy 646

this isnt just weight to bow the counter top it is the "base" paint for all my equipment...consider it c.a.r.k. nock off .it just doesnt react to chemical agents but still carries the olive drab camo feel...this is tough paint and I will be rolling it on thick so my equipment will be easy to wash..All fluids will be so safe they can drip into the water and not be an issue,from the grease to the gas <i will be greener than the current diggers...I will be heading to the locals to get a job to fund this operation..I am also considering a temp workers visa for alberta canada..I need money and I will most likely shut this idea of a 501c3 down and forming an llc.I have no choice,nobody is giving a shit but me...shit being money...soon it will be a private corporation that gives everything back to the community...I am not sure if I will keep posting at that point but who cares ..I need to get more done any way..Maybe I should sell the Idea so I can fund my new mission?I think i will check into that..

wine cap mushroom sawdust "spawn"

this is the product I will be placing in the mulch piles,it is a returning food producer.

I kid you not ,I have so much to do that loosing the morning   turned into a tailspin.My day was negative with strange occurrences...I spent hours getting the radiator out and found the water pump is bad and a lot of other little things I am thank full to have caught...Its quite a compact space and I made a few special wrenches that will stay with the tractor for one or two really tough ares..It runs good and sound s good ..needs a lot of new hoses(another reason to run environmentally safe oils).which reminds me I need to do that tonight so here is a pic of the work so far...I will dedicate tomorrow to it  and then I will assemble as I get the parts in..I have things to do..I will be painting new parts and cleaning and painting hard to reach internal ares..macropoxy 646 is the paint/aactually an epoxy and I am just rolling it on,this stuff sticks to everything and is super tough,versatile and relative inexpensive.under 200.00 a kit is cheap for what you get.google it

this little guy is special

This is a paw paw tree,with a bloom that is just beginning (i believe)It looks like an upside down tulip and is showing signs of redening..some of the Paw Paw's are without any leaves after the big frost..I refuse to tell you all the details when you can google it...I dont even know where to start about the medicinal value of these trees,and the grossness they posses..

more cherries than leaves

This north star was a left over I purchased from either menards or hy vee for 12.00 or so a year ago..this is Red Adams site, its happening here with all breeds having cherries their very first year..some are so laded its ridiculous,as well as the shier size so far on the sweater cherries..It really gives me hope fo9r the future when a harvest is more reasonable and cost effective,,,however if you have nets Mail them too 1028 roseview avenue Kewanee illinois 61443..I would gladly try them out..That botom tree looks like an evens bali from our local landscaper and greenhouse.good trees from sunny field...go see jeff or karen..This tree is suprizingly resistant to the Japanese betel and is a heavy producer,and I found it no where else..

another pc of the puzzle is now nearly ready to be placed

I made a sweet purchase today,and I will be needing it to make money to continue with the current projects as well as make purchases for the orchard..If I cant get them "Jobs" I will need to head toward chicago to find real work ...maybe even around the world,,,I* never under estimate the power of a t.w.i.c. plus well trained journeyman painter..I just dont like working for certain entities.

Wish I could get donations to keep doing what I am doing what ever that may be,seems to be nonstop...I probably could get some cherries this year If I could afford netting,not to worry...I think If we dont start helping the native bird species,their will be nothing left but robins and starlings and sparrows,you know your garden varieties.I have raised birds all my life,even hatching birds under my dads DNR permit for native species waterfoul..We had so many different breeds,we also raised coon ,fox ,skunk and were members of the a.r.b.a as well as dairy goats...Many children who were allergic to cows milk came to purchase goat milk from us for those children,,,My dad worked at the hospital so It filled a need,now this is illegal....I am sure you could get a permit  if you could show a service and you kept it clean,at least I would hope so..I* would actually like to change my I idea a little and if a ll possible to use prairie chickens as a basis for building the sanctuaries..at least my breeding pairs would be safer,at 450.00 a pair I wouldnt want to make mistakes and I so want this to be a success in all ways ,my love for birds ..you get it... wow it is late..

we need rain bad

I watered the trees on new  and the ones on washington..they were looking rough,very wilted..two and a half gallons each was the deal and if it doesnt rain tonight I will be waterin 200 more tomorrow..I also went to the city to see who owned the lots on the creek bed,I got parcel numbers..I need to get money bad...there are so many properties here that can be put to good use...just think about it ..you can purchase a 631.00 parcel of land,get it appraised for 240.00,,most appraise for 3800.00 or higher...look at your deduction631+240=871 ++ 150 title search...1021.00.Lets say it appraises for 3021.00 for easy math...that a deductible loss of 2000.00...cmon help me or pay the IRS...

the work never ends

go go go all day long and still its hard to get things done.Spent some time getting the new dump truck home and even more time fixing the soon to be utility tractor,which brings up the fact I need to get working on the bolens as well..Got turned down for a job in cedar rapids and smashed the crap out of my thumb putting new handles on the shovels and axe.Met with the attorney over potential property snags and still havent got that permit application,Took several pictures for the "master plan" and went up to visit the geese.I mowed the two biggest lots thanks to Chad letting me use his tractor and now i need food shower and to talk to a fella about the problem with his land..Good Times

got fish today

30 hybrid bluegill and four catfish,pound of minnows.

A gift,much needed gift...one problem

 So this tractor has some cool attachments out there,back hoe which would be great for composting in my newly sanctioned bio remediation areas.Huge mushroom grow beds if I get jobs like tearing down houses and barns...OOps see how easily things slip out..necessary secrets..Remember that guy I mentioned a year or so ago...still haven't locked that in..I didn't forget,,did you??

You can see the Pto has issues,just wish I was a mechanic...What a gift,If i get it running I will purchase the finish mower for 700 that is the deal..it cuts 1 to 5 inches..google the tractor its a goood gift..

working the angles or should I say angels

Well I thought I would get many more hits using the titles that I did but,ehh.Good news we have a dump truck...A few repairs from the previous owner,and me putting on some new lights...This weekend that bad boy will be mine..I did trade my riding mower and have to spray the rafters in the crawlspace of a house..plus 1200 dollars..Not great but not bad,fair by most standards...

I used Franks tractor to push around some mulch piles,and have to drop off some beer cans to my neighbor on Jackson as a thank you for mowing the lot given to us by Lance=== I stopped and thanked him again for his gift...Even bigger than all of that ..I may have met someone to help with the paperwork,..I trusted him from the first time I heard his voice...This could be who I have been needing..I cant express how much gratitude I feel when I hear people offer to help..Oh I may have a small tractor,traded to me for wood and I will be getting him some beverages as well..This is what you call a good day...Thank you Jesus and all others who are on board.

White Dragon Society

I made some offers on some equipment today that I would be using if I get this permitting done..yes I could have borrowed or hired but I just want to make sure all my equipment can be outfitted with oils that are environmentally friendly.Imagine what a blown engine could do to fresh soil..the only way to clean that is to dig it out and burn it,right now..What if I am digging at the threshold depth and have to dig it out..now I have changed the flow of the water..Now I need a new permit and my equipment could be damaged or lost..So why take a chance,besides I can hire an operator cant rent a machine with biodegradable oil,yet...I will also be converting any gas to ethanol if possible and bio fuels...Now a few drips aren't nearly as dire..I will be calling about a possible job again tomorrow to help fund the whole operation..I dont understand why people aren't giving me money.You gettin more bang for your buck from another charity...bullshit..thats ok I ll do it on my own if I have to .cant keep sayin somebody has got to do it..Im frikin doin it..whats up..I need about 25,000 to keep planting trees,get the equipment updated,get someone on the paper trail,and buy up many more lots for fall planting..I WILL BE LEAVING THIS WORLD WITH A SATISFIED MIND!! maybe you want to keep coming back until you feel the same?Thats cool...By the way Fulford fans..Still havent been in contact with the name title...am I not worthy??   hmm..

Well I guess I have been not a good host

I really have been out of control busy.My wife is sick and it has been raining..Im sorry but I got no place on here tonight..

Look Listen Learn Love

This is a new campaign I have held to myself for many years,at one point in time I believed it was a program I should write to encourage better employee behavior as well as as only hiring  people who gave a crap about "anything".I believe it has been with purpose in my life.
 LOOK= see into the eye of your fellow man..when you are talking..when you are listening....See the 800lb gorilla in the room..Know your surroundings
 LISTEN=hear throughout your entire being as if feeling the very vibration of the sound wave.Look into the eyes of all you meet..Test the speaker by repeating it back as if your not just listening your learning ,you see the bigger picture..
LEARN=study what you see and hear.....get the facts and avoid persons who have no interest in any thing or feel they are entitled..know the truth in every person and situation...when to eave the situation in Gods hands
LOVE=easiest to say hardest to do for many,don't condemn your enemies even in though ...spend time reflecting before you act....do not let it take your sight or deafen you for it is sometimes easier a as a memory than a goal...
These definitions are just some examples of what may follow the four words that should be the goal of all who exist..It is the four words I am touting.I know the post have been all over  because I have..Things move very fast in my world,as I need it to keep me interested to say the least.I feel if I get this new project going,It will be something that will change the hearts and minds of all of us who will be putting forth in such an extraordinary environmental rehabilitation slash renovation project thats impact will be felt years into the future.Even more so..It can change how a city views itself..clean that baby up while giving mother nature a boost.We are the ones who change the world so lets make it something good dammit!So many people are helping behind the scenes.Coming soon migratory bird sanctuaries or dry water basins or urban marshland all lined with cherry trees or even some genetic walnut(retirement trees) in lots but mostly cherry so we can control the color of the bird poop!yes some cherries have clear juice.there is just to much to describe in one sitting..

Benjamin Fulford

Again I must post a little something some of you may find interesting...I personally dont see why this group hasnt been in contact with me.I accept the "temporary" position as bringer of truth and free thinker..where do i apply for any of this so called money....I can picture it---A beautiful brilliant super bright stippled light filled baby dragon emerging from the very soul of  man----as if hatching from his own pineal gland...Is this what I have described the white dragon...watch out for the one with the purple cross--that ones mine...
If any one reads this post,my friends will know I search the web for any and all things" strange ".This story is of such special interest to me for the craziest of all reasons...theater for your mind.... anyway I suggest to my readers to "check it out" and if you meet any members mention my name BHCO and how we would like to have some of this money to continue "moving towards a cleaner greener way of life"

again I am happy to report it is raining

Met some of the neighbors<if new lots are purchased..I have a great feeling about the one set and reservations about the other..I kid you not..if this project is meant to happen,It will happen....I wonder if people realize how stupid they are when they tell me stuff  about why their current situation allows them to dictate my actions...I guess we will see what the future holds for the new enemies I will be declaring war on...May god make your judgment swift and just,In Jesus name I pray this for all who cross me...Now back to business we can control,maybe on the two dump trucks and a lead on two bucket tractors as well as some used fencing..As for the tires,I am positive that wont be a problem..some permitting will be needed and a civil engineer has volunteered some time.Some of these may fall through and some may happen,My hope is that the DNR helps me secure this creek bed through the entire town and even other creeks in town...placing bird sanctuaries throughout the creek beds...I will need to make  some money but I definitely will put all the profit back to the cause.I guess the only proof you have of my last statement is that I have invested almost everything I had in what is currently done....And the assets I acquire are used for the buisness...Yes I Anthony James Holdgrafer am telling you My actions are undeniable...I need help to continue..What are you waiting for....I am trying to help you...Oh you didnt ask for my help you say,think about that statement..Thats right to help is to have purpose,to watch is selfish...I dont care though..it is your decision and you are accountable.

Finally its raining

maybe maybe baby

My friend Wilson accidentally made me an offer to purchase some properties for  clean up.This led to a rampage of a fact finding mission today that ended with calls to civil engineering firms as well as a call to the DNR.I hope they have jurisdiction over this FEMA flood plain so I can get quick results.I think I can have these ready for fall planting and for waterfowl nearly instantly.What a great addition to or town to have some areas set aside for the birds,and for controlling flood waters.Im sure my neighbors will bitch and fight throughout the whole process but I dont let a bad apple spoil the batch I THROW OUT THE BAD APPLE!!!!!If they have legitimate complaints I will listen ,but mostly its just bullies who are throwing punches but cant take a hit.I will hopefully have news soon,the city has given me(city manager)some leeds that  avoided a potential money pit snag.I may not be impressed with a lot of things that take place here in Kewaneee ,but I have to say I understand a lot of why things are the way they are.We have some very smart people whos hands are tied with red tape.I respect them,I however have lost respect for a few that should have the respect of everyone.Gotta go my brain is on fire...anthony

Ooops

I accidentally bought 10 of these guys at a recent trip to farm king.Wish I could let them roam the orchard!Have 4 for sale...8.75....

This is comon practice in this area

I beat most of that slab apart with a sledge and cut the wire for salvage,short day because of the wind.I also planted the remaining trees temporarily until Blue Jay gets back from vacation to finish the mulch pile(maybe mon or tue of next week).Its time for this land too rest,forever an orchard should do the trick!

nobody seems to care

I work all day at this and get nothing but negativity,illegal dumping on my sites,people being asses and trying to take advantage of anything they can,and still I power on because of my mission.It is slowly coming to crossroads again,I wonder what will happen next?I wonder if anyone cares but me!I have worked so hard that I spend nights in pain from cramps and screaming out for Jesus when my "training"gets intense.I believe it is almost time to say goodbye to the blog and the facebook and the youtube as it seems to be more trouble than it is worth.I have said it before,I think I was the wrong entity for the job.I guess time will tell and I will give very little warning,It has been very interesting doing this project and watching the movement take hold.I have even contemplated selling all of it,Im not sure just yet.I think loosing faith may be a part of my decision(not in God)>It was my lack of faith in humanity that got me in this mess.Or should I say it got me out of a mess?Im tired of liars and greed,people who play stupid and thieves,lazy people and people who think they are entitled.I know their time will come,If I am in charge when that happens,I will let them starve.(See not the right guy for the job) Or maybe I am,and no I am not worried about my salvation,I gave up my life in so many ways to get here.I never thought this would be something I would do,funny how things work out.I guess we will see,dont underestimate me however,what I think has no bearing on what is to be done!

a walk through

white dragon society

Because you can only burn certain times,I had a huge day which caused me to fall out for a day.Of course there is the aquafina bottles in the new lot,and nothing is getting resolved.I am going to start bringing the bottles to the star courier.Wake up Kewanee,your leadership is so out of touch with you and the world they might as well be in Washington,WAKE UP!Cant plant those trees on rose street REALLY.  Mayor told what I was doing was illegal!A Geneseo law firm said there would zoning issues! are you f 'en kidding me? How stupid does this hierarchy believe you are.I'm not playing this game,Ill make a difference.Time to get your heads in the game,im about to ask the Mayor to step down!Ill show Kewanee how to get on the Map.I will bring change hard and fast,I bet you cant imagine what you are missing because you haven't had it in so long.PRIDE.... Oh yeah the tittle should give you something to think about....You don't need them,you are what you are the change you have been waiting for....

Too tired to postand there is a lot going on

we planted the rest today

All but some that are heading to the edge of town.Maybe as many as thirty Montmorency .Ill try to get some pics up soon as I can.I have been overdoing it with the labor and other pressures.Got a little help now so we will see how that goes,they did great today.I needed the break,unfortuanitely without more financial support money is becoming an issue.So I will soon be on my own again,which is fine because I have lots to do that requires my own personal attention.I will also be rededicating some time to catching the aquafina person who now seems to have placed a huge bag with 30 or so dead crappie fish .They were not of legal size and way too many,I wonder if the DNR would be of any help to me.They are federal,so maybe....What a bunch of poaching,litterbug cowards.
They have started to now give me sacrifices(FISH)and (WATER).I shall allow them to worship me but only for awhile,maybe they will come to thier senses!Im not God !But I work for him.It seems as if I am the karma police and it scares me that I get great satisfaction watching those who cross me get their "reward".I believe its tied in with my mission,I do however pray about said instinces or obsticals.
Just to put it out there,It works both ways.When good happens it is rewarded as well.It is very quick either way,nearly instant.

proof there is still good out there

 Its a bad pic,but you get the truth.I did pay royalties without hesitation.These are some trees that normally wouldnt produce well here.

Check out the plums,how amazing.

Even planted ten tonight!

 What an amazing pile of trees,very few were showing such extreme budding as below.Most were just beginning to swell.

The tree size is three too four times larger than ordered,a contribution on behalf of the nursery owner.If you just think about that for a second,its worth thousands in dollars and uncomprehending in faith.

holes

 So there are approx 85 holes for the Lambert cherry trees.

There are  about 100 holes in this huge lot(5) times the size of the upper lot.These are on  a 20 foot stagger.Big trees need lots of room.
