    It's been said before but I'll say it again, Reggie you should be banned from the guntering thread.
    The only thing that I can see in that picture that qualifies as guntering is the bucket hanging off the trees in the background.

    I'll have more pics for ya tomorrow ;)

    Arrived at farm merchants and realised no wallet. Don't have account. Was going to drive home but rang herself who found my card and read out details.

    Saved me a drive home and back... and a red face.

    I rang up 2 businesses during the week to work out what I would pay to clear my account. €250 off one and €200 off another. If I didn't ask I wouldn't have gotten it

    I have to keep you on your toes.:p

    Maybe a wall with variegated ivy to cover very quickly and some grass down to the retaining bottom wall?
    Lawnmower with a mulcher then to keep it tidy during the year instead of the knapsack?
    Bit of calcium lime on the grass to start and then follow on with a covering of dolerite and then dark green grass for the year.

    The fence would be better i suppose to see if anyone was in the yard when they shouldn't be.

    Went on a 1hr 15 mom round trip on the tractor today. iPod plugged in. Phone charging.

    Got home. And went out and did 5 hours work then.

    If I was to go in an old tractor I’d not have taken on the job at all.

    The calving pen here has a headlock set up so that if a cow goes down you can pull out the small pin from the sliding yoke on top.Then the upright can be lifted out of the bottom cup and moved to one side.A little safer than trying to get a pin out from under a cows head.

    Got a red Makita random orbit sander about 8 months ago. It’s diy Makita opposed to the blue as it’s aimed at the diyer instead of the trade.
    Well anyway the backing velcro pad started coming away so I took it apart and guntered a new one from a 3/4 inch lump of scrap and a velcro pad.
    It’s nothing pretty but it works!
