Just reading up on them and they only live for 24 hrs or Less. They don't have a mouth so don't eat. Only live long enough to breed and lay eggs and gone again. You'd have to wonder how they stay going or their purpose? Every day is a school day lol.

You are confusing mayflies and maybugs/cockchafers. Mayflies (a well know trout favourite) live for 24 hours but cockchafers/maybugs live for a couple of months.

Had a football game this eve and one of the boys broke his ribs. Poor fella was in a bad way. Couldn't breathe, going into shock. Took a full hour for an ambulance to come...you wouldn't want to be dying anyway.

I’ve broken ribs falling out of a tree when I was a nipper. Jesus it’s painful, I thought I was dying.

Are pallets worth anything ? Have a good few fertilizer pallets here in a shed from last year and this year

I doubt it, a neighbour gets loads of them for nothing as he uses them in his central heating furnace, only disadvantage is he can't spread the ashes on the land because of nails.
I usually give the pallets back to the merchant

Do they refund what you have paid for the pallets?

Yes, it'd always be written on the delivery docket by the lorry driver if I returned pallets. Grennans would always need pallets but they'd always be getting their own pallets back from me, same with Flynns in Mullingar.
Unlike some farmers I don't use them for fencing etc

Our kid is very into codes and maths etc, so I ordered this nook off eBay, as part of the birthday present.



All good except for one problem.
Where the hell am I going to get an old computer that has a 3.5 inch disk drive?

Pallets used as a base for hay and straw bales. Fierce handy. Always have the fert on 4 pallets to save the back.

Anyone ever see a vet remove a calf bed?
Chatting a fella up the road and that's what the vet had to resort to on one cow. Calf had died inside the cow & wasn't noticed, infection had spread all through the calf bed. Suppose it's just like a hysterectomy?

That's a major operation and might end badly yet as the whole operation area has been exposed to infection.

Who knew Nuns travelled in vans?

Just met a transit van with three nuns in the front. Habits and all.

Apparently he closed the end off with a cable tie. Dunno if that's true though! She's doing great now though. Calf bed was ruined with the half rotted calf.

Those must be the 3 nuns in the ad visiting Johnny Lynch's buffalo. Changed from the Honda 50s.

I think I may take to sitting at the side of the road and watching the traffic pass by..

You wouldn't know who or what'd be trundling along.

Could be. It was in a rented van.

White headpiece and light grey tunic (or whatever it's called).
They have to live too, whoever they were.
