    Got the opportunity to have a walk round and about 2 hours of advice off one of the most successful ped Ch herds in the country monday evening. I was in my element. Tis great when people are prepared to pass on knowledge.

    It's great when someone is willing to share information like that. Sure sign there top of there game. At the Tullamore show and I was talking to a few of the breeders there and some of them are very open about the do's and don'ts of there business. A few would hardly tell you the day of the week!

    I finally broke out of the hospital:pac:

    Kept in since last Friday afternoon, they wouldn't discharge me until I got an apt in the mater for another scan. Thought I was going to go mad looking at four walls around me.
    Also have v low blood pressure, 90 or so/ 45ish, didn't think it was an issue but apparently it's not a good thing.

    Welcome back. Missed you.

    Low blood pressure can cause fainting/blackouts.

    Yup, that's what I was informed too, happened a few times to me before. Noticed it went considerable higher when I had my special coffee from home brought in and I had my morning 'dose' of it:D

    Anyone got one of these valves on their older massey? They were being sold by a lad on donedeal a few years back. Can only find them in QTP now. I am planning on putting a bale splitter in a 165 and wondering if this valve will allow me to operate the double acting ram.

    Any advice appreciated?

    The chairman of the clare gaa pat Fitz called to my grandfathers house earlier with the Liam McCarthy cup. They had heard about my uncle passing on while they were in the area. Fair play to them for taking their time out to do these kinda things. It really cheered him up.

    Davy does a fair share of "little deeds" behind the scenes also,

    does it his way unlike others only looking for media coverage
