Feck it, never thought to buy the journal today!!I'd say you are alright! Finally the big time..........Onwards and upwards from here:)
If they were all as good as they look in the picsYou popping them out all sides red!! Lovely pics too, great that's it's so dry out but it's cold enough tonight out I make sure not to get their bad side. Tis chilly alright, I went down the field at about 40 miles an hour on the quad and I came in home shaking!!
It's cold for sure. Would you have many houses near where you calve the cows? I'd go out at night but generally take the jeep and walk the rest of the way, quad awful purr to it at like 4am, I'd be afraid I'd piddle off the neighbours!!0 -

No neighbours close enough to piss off. Were in the back of beyonds you'd say

The dads are gas, its goes from another unnecessary fancy toy/gadget to being essential very quickly.
Well you're not wrong there!
We were moving feed today to top up barrels around the farm. I was told not to get the quad, himself would take the 135. I made up a little platform for on the lift arms and tied it up, put 10 25kg bags on it, secured them and away he went.
All went grand until he got to one awkward spot on the old track, it's all grown over with creeping gorse, there are some rocks sticking up that had to be gone around plus it's steep in spots.
Dad got out of the cab and we had a look around for the best route through that spot. Found a way and just as he left his hand on the tractor door away she went downhill and into the gorse :eek: We reckon the brake hadn't engaged properly. I don't like to think what might have happened if he'd been half way up into the cab.
That bit of drama over we forged ahead and stopped at the first spot, where he turned off the tractor forgetting we had to jump start it
She's still there now :pac: I carried the stuff the rest of the way.
All in all he reckoned the quad is a better job, I nearly dropped :eek: 0 -
