Brought my jeep to the mechanics earlier to see what it need for the test. I knew my back shocks were shot but one of them was completely broken altogether! No wonder it was like driving a bouncy castle. A fine long list of parts to go into it along with that

If your putting in new bushes put in poly uretain ones. Much much better and last an awful lot longer and take more hardship.
Cost more of course

Put 300 litres of water with roundup in sprayer yesterday to spray around yard and house and stone walls on the road.
Used the lance. Still have 200 left and no where for it to go.
What will I do with it?

Some of the active ingredient will go out of it after 5 days when it is mixed with water.

Ask the local tidy towns committee if they need a bit of spraying done. Or the local clergy if they need round the church/school done. Or the local GAA/Soccer/rugby club if they need any spraying done.
Or just go to the local golf club tonight and spray the lot!

Sprayed off a few dry drains and sprayed the fence on road way between us and neighbours barley.
Father went crackers when he seen me do it. But then I said they'd do it to us so why shouldn't we keep our place looking tidy.
Don't think I got any barley any way
Fence was full of thistles and docks that would have spread to us

Don't think I'll have much change out of a grand, 12 months ago now I suppose apart from changing the oil and the filter.

Seven new handles and ten new heads.

Glad to report that the bullock with the problem in the nether regions is much improved. Swelling has gone down considerably and wound is healing nicely.
Had another bullock in the sick bay this morning with an abscess in one of his horns. He has two bits of stumpy horns and one of them is slightly split. The poor fella was in agony.
I managed to inject peroxide mix into it a help clear out the infection. Got some Dexameth and Betamox from the vet. By lunch time he was back out grazing with his mates.
Also Biddy the cow is back to normal although the quarter is still slightly larger than the other one. Calves are sucking it with no ill effects.
Thanks to Whelan for the advice

Fixed the chainsaw. Cleared out the dung from sheep sheds. Changed the sheep to different paddock. Got the turf cut this evening also. Off to a wedding tomorrow so a day on the beer. Was a georgeous evening to be at something. Had a nice cool bottle of Heineken. Now off to bed

Between problems in the nether regions and abscesses on horns is any male safe about your place?:D

Word of advice, bring him to a proper bike shop, Smyths bikes will melt on you.

He got two there already and they were alright , I found them pretty helpful aswell . The last time I brought him to a right shop we left with one of them go carts that left me broke !
Herself got the other fella an electric quad out of swyths last year , he dogged it through puddles and it stopped working . She brought it back and they replaced it free I was pretty impressed with them after that .
