Caught the lizard

We had one of those lads stuck in a bucket swimming like mad a couple of days ago. Had filled the bucket to put out for a dope of a calf that stands around in the sun lowing mournfully at us instead of going off with his mateys. These are lovely little creatures I'm glad I found it before the cat spotted it.

Make him an offer..

Maybe it's all part of his cunning plan.

Nah, not in good enough condition to buy. The middle gear- the one with the hare/tortoise on it- isn't working at all. Just a bit battered but it's an 87 so can understand that! Nice to have experience of a differnt tractor though, somehting to build on when I do go tractor hunting.
There's even too much power in it for what I'd need anyway but who doesn't like a bit of tractor willy waving. Especially when you've no willy to wave anyway

Oookay then!!

I blame Whelan2 for all this talk of Willy waving on here. :pac:
Pride it's called pride. There's no shame in having something nice and you'll always find uses for "the extra power".

Now you know your next tractor will have 4wd. So not a total waste of a lend.
Then you'll have to have to have a good loader with that 4wd.

Well we knew it was going to be a 4WD anyway! But that's as far as the discussion got :pac: But I don't want something that's going to have bells and whistles I'll never use. Cause bells & whistles cost extra!

Its not a nice part of a game but when he was being effected by it,the cork fans wanted to win

I was above in Croke Park a number of years ago and I got chatting to a couple of the stewards, I dunno how the talk came up but it was about the most troublesome supporters. Theysaid a section of the Cork hurling supporters were by far and away the worse.
I'd never have called it but that's what they said.

They've something to celebrate tonight anyway.

The only real violence I've ever seen was at a Clare - Cork hurling match in the Gaelic Grounds in limerick, early 80's I'd say. Riot broke out during the game at the Clare end. A free for all. Poor guys selling fruit and drinks on makeshift stands were plundered for missiles.
There's an element in Cork City that follow hurling, unlike an other city in Ireland

I think that was kinda brewing from the munster final of 1978, That element you mention only show when the team are going well, you won't see them in the lean years.

Looking at my garden yesterday, I have simultaneously underestimated the productivity of courgette plants and overestimated my ability to eat courgettes. :pac:
6 plants, all look to have between 10 & 20 buds on them!

Have you asked around if anyone knows of other uses for them..

Uhhh
Got to lunchtime at work I’m out of the office on site and realised I must have got splattered with calf **** on back of my trousers when I was feeding calves this morning:(

There hiking the type with zipped legs and I only noticed when I was zipping off the lower legs.

Must have been quite the sight trooping about the office with back of my legs all calf ****

Put in 4 plants in old trough filled with soil and fym....

I now have a load of courgettes that are marrow sized with all the heat - and that despite taking a whole load already - might see if some of the poultry are interested!

Hens should eat them, they eat everything else.
Have a recipe here for stuffed marrow, which basically means just bake it, remove the middle bit & mix it with yummy things & refill it. Though i'll probably just freeze mine as I go along, in a mixture of cooked & uncooked things.

I'm a bit stuck with the Zetor, can't get to the other end of the hose which connects to the clutch, can't get the pedal out as the nuts on the end of the bottom bolts have stuck. Dad says split the tractor but I think i've given it a good try and reached my limit!!

Some goal there by Japan

Good finish

Just finished our silage so mustn't have been near us Brian :P
Yield about the same, up in a couple of wetter fields, down in drier ones. One field in particular was very good, it's about 1.9 acres and gave us 24 bales, had no slurry whatsoever and only a small bit of fert.

Happy now that it's done! Regardless of the weather forecast:pac:

I'd say they are running out of grass to bale

I'd say you've had your fill of it by now

Think today and tomorrow is the last of it around here bar a few stragglers maybe. Bit of topping to do for lads and that's about it. Second cuts will be abit away I'd say. At least I'll be home a little more often now

Indeed.
Nothing regrowing either.

Was talking to a guy earlier and he said that the whole country is either ate, mowed or burnt down to the same level and when the growth comes it will be hard to use it all as every scrap of ground will have the same cover.

A problem I wouldn't mind having to be fair.

Booing as Peter Duggan was taking frees. Its a pet hate of mine. I love the respect afforded to kickers in rugby.

Firsr time i ever say opposing fans turn around to shake our hands was at a rugby union match, all i ever saw at a GAA match was bitterness towards the winning side fans.
