    Hearing the white cockies screech as though the grim reaper is after them when our 'gas cannon' goes off.
    Have set up one under our walnut tree in attempt to get some walnuts this year.
    Someone (not neighbours who are ok with it) reported 'sound of shooting' in area so a constable came investigating .....
    He went away, all ok, when shown source of the 'ka - booms'

    Hahah I can relate to that, I've got a walnut at my place which the cockies make a mess of every year, I've had some hair brained schemes to net it but it would cost a lot of money and time. All I want is one crop from it, one year I netted a small section and the walnuts were terrific, better than the crap you get in supermarkets. There at at 6am hanging upside down and you can here the walnuts. Nothing works with the buggers, well I know one thing that would work but it would attract a large fine and a possible jail term.

    One Ariens 3 in 1 self propelled for nicks.
    I know it's an Ariens and yes I wouldn't buy one(I'm only using it for side throw jobs) , but for nothing,it works perfectly and it has a Kwaka FJ180 on it, makes me happy.

    The Hustler has been paid off as of today! A milestone as I'll probably never need to buy another!

    It is a good feeling not having $500/mth taken out of my account every month thats for sure. Just the ute to go, 14 more $500 payments. That will be a huge monkey lifted off my back when that happens. 7 or 8yrs of $500/mth payments! I screwed up big time on that!

    Shhhhhhhhh!

    Australia Day coming up I think I get more patriotic as I get older and more **** happens in the world that reinforces to me we really do live in the lucky country. Just not quite sure how long that will last though. As always this year we will go to the annual BBQ in Carrissbrook Reserve. Have it down pat now. Looking forward to it. One sour note is the distinct lack of ppl flying the Aussie flag on their cars this year. Pretty piss weak show in Adelaide in the lead up.

    And how many actually fly the flag at home. I do both and fly the flag at home all year round at home. When I look at house driving around I reckon less than 1% of people do. Pretty bloody poor show I reckon. Who flys the flag.

    Thanks guys yep, its a bit of a milestone.

    Redeye, I'll also be happy when the tourists fcuk off! Tourists are a given where I live but man, it gets old towards the end of the holidays! Only issue next is the traffic in the school run! Thats a friggin nightmare around here!

    Geoff, yep! I learnt early on that buying non commercial stuff just is not the go! Sure, it costs more but man, NO WAY home owner stuff could stand up to what I put these mowers through. Cheers

    Bluey, funny you mention cooking (ignoring your ignorant comment about "real smoker" lol) . I put some lamb ribs on about an hour ago. Its pizzing down rain and we'll wait and see how they turn out. They will be shown no love, quicker they cook the better. Have a chunk of hickory on there though! I'll take a pic for you to wank over! ha
