Pig Count Down
Looking for new pigs at Detour Ranch. It looks like our Berkshire sow Cathy will have a litter of pigs this weekend 2/20. Everyone here is excited to see what she produces because we all like her the best of all our pigs. She is very mild mannered and fun to be around. We put her in one of our pens a few weeks ago so she would be able to give birth without the other animals bothering her and she has rooted up the hole pen. I was going to plow it and plant grass in it this spring and she saved me the trouble of plowing. This litter of pigs will be crosses of Berkshire and Duroc. We plan to get a full blood Berkshire boar so the next litter will be full blood Berkshires. We currently have 7 new kid goats and expecting a bunch more this spring. Our Great Pyrenees dogs gave us 9 pups in November so we now have puppies for sale. You can go to our website to see what happens next. Detour Ranch

Diamonds Formation
Diamonds are formed from carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a variation of the face centered cubic crystal structure; called a diamond lattice. Diamonds are less stable than graphite, but the conversion rate from diamond to graphite is negligible. A Diamond is renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities, most of which originate from the strong covalent bonding between its atoms. In particular, a diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any bulk material.
Most natural diamonds are formed at high pressure and temperature conditions existing at depths of 87 to 120 miles in the Earth mantle. Carbon containing minerals provide the carbon source, and the growth occurs over periods from 1 billion to 3.3 billion years. Diamonds are brought close to the Earth surface through volcanic eruptions which cools into igneous rocks known as kimberlites and lamprolites. Diamonds can also be produced synthetically in a high pressure high temperature process which simulates the conditions in the Earth mantle. An alternative and completely different growth technique is chemical vapor deposition. Several non diamond materials, which include cubic zirconia and silicon carbide and are often called diamond simulants, resemble diamonds in appearance and many properties. Special techniques have been specially developed to distinguish natural and synthetic diamonds and diamond simulants.

Bucket Truck
Bucket Truck: A piece of equipment known by all those that work on things of the ground. If you have ever been driving, and saw a utility crew working on overhead lines you probably saw a bucket truck. They are used to lift workers up to high places. They are much more maneuverable and safer than a ladder if used properly. One of the great things about a bucket truck is the ability to move several feet without having to reposition your ladder. You do not have to have something to lean a ladder against. For inspection check list and other bucket truck information go to: Bucket Truck

Bucket Truck Purpose
Bucket trucks are sold in a number of sizes and shapes, each to help make work easier. While the bucket truck is used for many different purposes, the most common is power linemen. By using this type of equipment, they can complete their work in a comfortable, safe, and efficient manner, primarily where steel or concrete poles are used.
Bucket trucks are used for a number of industries and can be seen along roadsides every day. For example, have you ever watched as the local telephone or Utilities Company rides in a bucket to the top of a pole to fix something? If so, then you have seen a bucket truck. This is exactly what a bucket truck is used for - lifting and lowering workers to places too tall to reach with ladders.
The design of the bucket truck includes a storage bin that is great for holding tools and material needed by the worker. In addition, some bucket trucks are designed with a single or double-arm boom for one or two people or a hydraulic outrigger jack, which provides extra stability. You will also find some designs that are powered by the actual truck engine while others are operated with an auxiliary engine that is mounted on the back section of the truck.
Just remember that while the bucket truck is easy to operate and can make the job much easier to complete, this is still a large piece of equipment that needs to be handled properly. When the manufacturer’s operation is followed, the worker will experience a smooth, safe ride while keeping maintenance to a minimum.
There are many rules that fall under OSHA guidelines to ensure safety when using a bucket truck. However, when employees are trained and the truck used the proper way, this piece of equipment can provide years of support in the workplace. Just remember, this is a large truck and if not handled according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and OSHA guidelines, injury or death could occur.
Therefore, while a bucket truck can save tremendous time and effort, it definitely needs to be respected for the powerful machine that it is. For the business owner, the key to safety is training. You can obtain a number of excellent tapes for drivers and bucket truck operators to watch through the truck manufacturer or directly from OSHA.

Understanding Truck Insurance
Trying to figure out what truck insurance you need? Maybe this will help.
Typically, there are four types of insurance coverage for trucks: truck cargo, primary liability, general liability, and non-trucking liability.
Primary liability insurance is required by the government to drive a truck on the road. This insurance covers all the damages and injuries caused by the truck while on the road. A coverage amount of at least $750, 000 is required to drive a truck legally. Should an accident occur, this amount will be used to cover the damages. If it is not enough, then you have to pay the remaining costs.
General liability, on the other hand, covers the accidents that occur of the road. Like when the truck is parked. Vandalism and theft are the two biggest problems when parked.
Truck cargo insurance covers the cargo in your truck or trailer from possible theft or loss. This is not mandatory by the government but most client's require you to insure there cargo.
Non-trucking insurance this is for times such as when your truck is in the repair shop, in your garage, or bobtail.
Things can’t be simple these days and just by truck insurance! you have to get all different types in order to be covered for everything. It amazes me how the insurance companies keep breaking down the coverage ad requiring us to pay more to get the same coverage.
