[AT] OT stamping press pits

[Indiana Robinson]

I have done my share of "temporary" installations that may have been a
little shaky as is common for old school farmers but my general plan most
of my life has been to do things "code +" or to be more technical, "Hell
for stout"...  😀
I do find myself being less concerned these days about making sure that
what I do will last 100 years. I'm still optimistic enough to pretend that
I still need a 5 year plan but my old concept of a 20 year plan doesn't
carry a lot of weight.
There are several reasons for that. The first is pretty obvious, one of
those other reasons is that the farm I put my blood, sweat and tears in
since 1951, which was a couple of miles out in the country is now only
about a quarter mile across a creek from a rapidly moving city limits...
Land around me that I grew up farming either as rented land or as custom
work is now infested with houses... The chances of this place falling
victim to the bulldozers just keeps increasing. In recent years the words
"eminent domain" are getting tossed around more and more freely. (shrug)...
