The quarry was not making money. Omaha swishes a three pointer from the perimeter! His exact words were. The quarry was no longer profitable. Apparently the quality of the limestone wasn't as good as some other nearby quarry operation. He said the limestone was "soft". Which is interesting because I always wondered how useful the limestone would be because I could crush most of it with my hands. I wonder what makes some limestone really fragile like that, and sometimes it's really super hard....

Everybody so far has earned two points, but I'll start the process of revealing the answer.
The quarry ___ __ ______ __________. ". . . isn't making any money."

In all honesty, I almost posted the correct answer last night or whenever it was, just seconds after Bruce posted the Question. I actually hung around for Bruce to pop on the forum knowing that for a long time, Wednesday night is JD night for him. Also, I havent been able to follow all the thread; but that was the obvious 1st choice considering the economic times. Quite frankly, just so long as I am ahead of JHAP, it's all good.

Don't let it go to your head burgermeister. The only reason that you got ahead of me is that I didn't know any of the answers.

Final question, with a chance to gain extra credit.
Look at the house in the center of the quarry lake.
To the west, and northwest of the house are two roughly rectangular areas. What are they? (Three points, and four points to first correct answer)
Extra credit: Coming this evening after somebody answers the question correctly.

It looks like they've been there for roughly 5 years. Is that where the topsoil was scraped away for use elsewhere on the property? Or are they future building pads?

At first I thought they might be garden plots, but now I'm pretty sure they're just composting beds for any GSF that happen to be caught in the quarry.

Either enormous gardens or the foundation of equally enormous garages.

the larger one is piled up. so could be 'dust' from the quarry(tons of limesttone). smaller one is a, non IMO, ISO, helo landing pad.
per Brettski, no 'H'.

The smaller rectangle is where they staged the lime that was removed from the quarry.
The larger rectangle is where a thriving coconut grove once grew.
In close proximity stood large stainless steel mixing vats. This is where they put the lime in the coconut and drank them both together. They put the lime in the coconut and then they felt better. They put the lime in the coconut and drank them both down.

this is a brutal question. i am struggling to understand the topography, but it appears they are on slope, it appears they are scraped bedrock surfaced, and may be some kind of engineering/drainage control between the house lot and what appears to be a knoll or low ridge to the west/northwest separating the pond from the house property. in summary, they may serve to direct the groundwater table and surface run-off in southwest direction away from the house lot.
GSF are people too!

i will further speculate that although they are on a slope, they are lower than the ground around them, and probably serve as a sloped drainage basin so to speak.

i have no idea why they are rectangular other than the home owner has an OCD with his landscaping. it appears he put a landscaped/grassed "bridge" across the small drainage essentially breaking the feature into two parts...

I see nothing in the aerial that would say for certain what they are... Any guess I'd make would be just that.
