The Family

The family. Today the big boy (Holy Moly) got to meet his son (Kunye) for the first time and talk to his wife (Venus) - his 1st wife, about what they wanted for their son. They didn't invite me as I'm debating with myself if I castrate or not given the next child expected in a month is from a much better looking mother (wife 2 - Serena).

Bath Tub for Water Troughs

Image
I don't know if this happens else where around the world but an old bath tub makes a good size water trough and you can usually pick them up from renovators for free. Unfortunately they are often just tossed in the paddock and the water is attached through a hole drilled in the wall of the bath. That's what happened on my farm and a few years on now the bottoms are rusting out of the tubs and the constant leaks are becoming a concern. I like to to things a little different. A mate of mine who renovates old houses had a bath he didn't want so I used it to replace the worst one I have. I put some plumbing in so it could always be drained and cleaned then poured a slab of 2 barrow loads of concrete over top. I then built a frame around the bath like you would when installing it in a house. A bit of 3 ply wood as the cover on the sides and a few layers of paint I now have a great looking water trough -- very swish indeed.

Apple Watch and Farming.

First my circumstances; I'm retired, knocking on the door of 60 years old. I live alone on my small farm which I purchased for my retirement to keep active and health.  My initial purchase of the watch was encouraged by my daughter concerned about what would happen if I had a bad accident, who would know? I'm sometimes up a tree with a chainsaw, sometime on a mower on steep slopes, my farm has its share of deadly snakes - you get the picture.  Security   This gets a big tick from me. The Apple Watch has 'Fall Detection' built in and a simple internet search shows it has saved lives. The concept is that if you fall down it detects your fall, activates the watch with vibrates on your wrist and asks if your ok. If there is no response within about a minute the phone rings emergency services and your emergency contacts. Now I've set mine off at least a dozen times in the last year so I know it works and each time i've been able to answer the question "Are you o...

Never trust an ‘Influencer”

The primary reason for having a vegetable garden is to produce food, to be truthful it’s the only reason to grow your own fruit and vegetables. There is certainly an element of online gardeners desperately trying to build their followers for ego stroking or financial gain that have a garden, or fake a garden, for show rather than the resultant produce.    In my previous profession as a marketeer I learned that social media was a channel to market which marketeers had within the range of all possibilities, TV, Radio, Direct Mail, Billboards, newspapers …….ect. Like all channels to market Social Media has it’s benefits but also many pitfalls for inexperienced players. A marketeer must look at each channel and understand who is the audience that can be reached and is that the audience that ultimately that can be converted to purchase your product and/or service. When looking at a magazine advertisement, as a marketeer the magazine will give us the number of ‘paid’ subscribers the...
