I can see us winning Sunday by a point or two but after that it will depend what comes out the other side.

Back in the north county of dublin this afternoon to prepare for the new office job on Monday :eek:.
Since I am in excellent internet land I have spent the afternoon catching up on some of the F&F threads which is a great break from being bounced about on the tractor seat while drawing the turf home.
1 - Pity to see Moy and JT gone. Hopefully they will be back soon in a different guise
2 - I missed the farmer bashing thread over on AH :mad:
3 - I wish I had fingernails like Kovu as I could put a coat of nail varnish on them and be a proper Metro woman on Monday morning
Anyway pic that my brother took of me drawing the last load home late yesterday evening

Apprehensive and nervous to be honest. It has been a several years since I worked for someone else. I know that I am on a contract and not directly employed but still it is not the same as making your own mistakes and suffering the consequences, if you know what I mean.

Kovu

Ah you'll be fine. Remember that brilliance can be confused with confidence, act like you know what you're doing and you'll soon be in charge of the place!

Lovely, Clare v Wexford for the u21 hurling final, the revenge will be sweet

Best wishes to you for monday B.P.
Probably best not ask some of them up there what they give to a cow with a start - better used the word mastitis. Start a cavan word for it.

I always act like I know what I am doing and in fairness normally do know what I am on about.
However betya I won't be so confident this time tomorrow evening as the clock tolls in the final hours :eek:

Do something relaxing tomorrow evening, go for a walk in Phoenix park, the cinema or read a book. I'm sure you know your stuff backwards, you always come across here as someone that has a lot of knowledge and practice behind you.

On route to the big smoke will blame u Reggie tomorrow for the hangover

was thinking about it today, i was finishing off powerwashing a pen in the slatted shed, you know when you only have a small corner to do and all the crap is blowing up in your face, the ice bucket challenge is clean water .. ffs the reaction of some of the people is crazy. I also wonder if alot of them will donate the money at all, btw a lad up the road from here has mnd

I agree with you but if people were adding ice rather than just water you could understand it as it'd be cold but most seem to just have water....

Eldest son collected nearly €100 from his friends for his effort. My Mam and two brothers & my sister, along with OH and myself rounded it off to €250. Not bad for a young lad sitting in the yard getting drowned by a bucket of water (including some ice) from a IH front loader.

Fair play but the story of the loader reminded me of an article that I read a month ago about a lad doing the ice challenge in Germany. He used a telehandler to lift up the water and when he raised it up it tipped forward and killed the man underneath. :eek:

Yep did it today. Big barrel of cold water. No ice. None available. Good Craic and we raids a nice few pound. Think it's more of a game on face book than fundraiser now though.

Think I got away with it. We run a tractor run every year from the FIL yard

Some great tractor runs in both my areas - Longford and Fingal.
However if I had that shed, (wish I had) the walls would be sprayed with dung and serious vents in the side and end
Good shed for a winter barbecue







When we F&F's are eventually invited.......

I did not hear or read about that incident. That was very unfortunate for the man who was killed and his family.

That's some shed! When I, eventually grow up I want one like that, especially like the white internal sheeting to reflect natural light, nice touch. Best of luck with the run tomorrow, hope there's plenty of red!

In Sligo for the weekend. Climbed Benbulban today. Stunning views.



Climbed Knocknarea yesterday. Stunning views there too.

Have 11 and 6 year olds in tow so it takes us a little longer than most.

You'd be better off sticking the farm on Clare, there will be no slip ups from here on out

Reggie.

Very close call today.
Driving down the road in tractor when noticed a slight wobble in in the front left wheel.

Few seconds later it got slightly worse so I pulled up and checked the wheel.

Lost two studs and other 4 were loose by about a half inch. Found 1 stud on the road and When I tried to tighten 3 of them were rung.

Limped back to yard and luckily I was just 200 yards from it. Creeped her home

Dunno, no contest in the semi for Clare, a good tough game for the Yellabellies. Throw the 3 in a row expectation into the mix. An oul wet day in Sept. I can see it goin only one way. :-)
