Wasn't there another quote along the lines of - hurling is a game for piano tuners, football for the piano movers.
left the OHs home today- her father gave the gang a ride on the harley. He reckons he won’t be around by the next time we can get out so a lot of tears the last few days. They are calling up to Perth to say goodbye tomorrow.
staying at the BILs tonight and flying back late tomorrow.
I’m glad to get back into a routine but definitely if I had a Time Machine- I wouldn’t take over the farm and go out each summer and work and let the OH and our children spend time with her family.
Anyone on here in the askeaton area in Limerick?
you could still lease it out or simplify the farm to allow it. Life is too short to be handcuffed by a small farm. It I’ll lead to resentment by your wife in later years if she misses out on time with her family. Spend some time thinking about it. It’s never too late to make changes
Wife is the one would oppose it. She is 100% invested at home.
Nobody leases farms around us either. But I will look into the 7 month farming system and maybe look at visiting the odd Christmas for a few weeks.
You’d just be guilty on days like today when you see them saying goodbye,
I nearly sure you can buy those wire racks in most hardware stores. Think they are a universal fitting.

Not a million miles away from there
Any idea how to watch the hurling final from the US for a friend? GAAGO don't have it listed. Is it NORD VPN and then RTE player and hope for the best? RTE player is prone to freezing and showing endless ads, not the best showcase for oversees viewers..
BBC Two are showing it. It might be easier for them to get BBC in the US.

I use Express VPN when I’m travelling. Best one I’ve found to be honest.
Thanks for that. Just amazed that with all the deals with Sky and Gaago to promote the game abroad, the "diaspora" have to use a backroom route to view our national sport when abroad when an unclicking of a tab from the GAA could do it. What is the cost of it?
They don't have a "not available in your region" when buying team shirts as far as I remember when abroad? They say they want to charge people to grow the game around the world, but won't leave an option for the honest person to pay to watch the final?
I'm tired and just cant get my head around it. Sorry for the rant/

I lost both my parents with in 9 months off each other a few yrs back an would kill to get to see then or for them to see my kids
Fu1ck the farm an anyone that says you should be tied to it ,your kids will thank you for it in years to come.
It will be still there when come back.
Not as easy as that- I support my 80yo mam now.
But I will reassess the place and make it easier to take time out.
absolutely
My kids lost all their grandparents and it makes me sad still. My youngest remembers my mum but that’s all. It’s a miss in a kids life.
My grandparents on one side shunned us because of religious ideals and it was and is very hurtful.
the precast silage walls are after coming in handy to close off the site in Coolock…

Young lad here is 13 and lost his granny last year. We live 300m from granny's house and he never failed to go see her every day. He cycles 2 miles to the graveyard nearly every day to visit her or gets us to stop there on the way home from trainings etc. It's sad to watch but the memories he has are priceless. He goes down every evening to his grandad at about 8.30 for the mug of tea. Making more memories and some lift for the boss every evening.
Thats a lovely thing for your young lad to do and to spend time with his grandad. I never had a very close relationship with my grandparents as they all passed when i was young or lived far away but one of my grand uncles (I think thats how you say it) would be like a grandfather figure to me. Thought me to drive, brought me to matches and generally looked out for me as a kid.
Never knew either grand parents here so have no sadness
I've been meaning to buy a compressor for years but I don't know anything about them or what size would be best. It would be just for pumping tires and bits like that, is there anything I should be mindful of and what size/brand?
Reality Knight may be that, the farm income is actually the subsidies. I know each case is different. A low stocking rate will cover you for the subsidies. Time wise a month down under should be possible. The financials of travel are a different matter.
Bought a parkside in lidl about 10 years ago. Run the parlour feeders for a few years. Just pump an odd tyre with it now. No bother with it
much changed France team but a great result for the womens soccer team
Fair play to them and 3 good goals too!
What size of a tank is on it?
dont know. its only a small thing, youd lift it and carry it in the wheel barrow
same. always works, pump tyres and light stuff.
The current one is 50L I think, bought one in 06, it did a nice bit of work, gave up two years ago.
I bought a small dewalt inflater last year. Was debating buying a big compressor for ages and ended up buying this. Does a great job pumping tyres and the kids footballs. Obviously it wouldn’t be any good for tools etc but it’s a cheap alternative to a compressor
Charlie trying to scrap the straw chopping schemce is a crazy move, if he gets the greenlight from Brussels, the damage done to re farmers having any faith in future schemes brought-in that they will even be paid out seen through full-term is gone, when you see the ongoing acres debacale, its unnerving
