The good morning thread

Same...it's a raccoon. A huge one; rooster fought valiantly, but still fell. And the ******* didn't go in the trap. It's war...

I have no idea what this means. I mean, I understand all the words individually, just not the order in which they have been used!

A giant raccoon...as in upwards of 30 lbs...has been getting in to the chickens through the owl netting. We relocated the layers and put a rooster in the coop that the raccoon had been entering...the rooster fought and lost.

OK that seems un-feasibly large, but we'll go with it

The *what*?! See, already I'm lost

Well, TBF if you wanted to sell me a 30lb rooster, I'd need a new oven....

Bloody van broke down this evening! Engine (coiled light) came on flashing, 100m later it went into limp and then just petered out, cranks over but won’t start.

Morning all and do take care and good luck.
Chilling here but a bit peeved to find that the builders haven't started yet which is disappointing after all the planning and everything has to be finished for December to get the grant money from the Government.
Still the glass is half full

Morning all, got the dead van to the road outside the local garage at 01.40 so going to have a lazier day today than expected. Laying the flooring and starting the fit out.



Have fun all…

Good luck with that. fella.

Morning, all. That's a DIY-tastic weekend done. Now I need to do the work to earn the money to pay for the bum-clenchingly pricey shite needed to do DIY stuff.

Morning...! Think my neighbor took out the raccoon last night. WFH ahead of Independence Day holiday tomorrow. Continued heat indexes over 104F today but storms in forecast. More time on the tractor planned...

It is the one I picked the boat engine up on, it was made from a compressor but by someone in Kent to carry an IPC for window cleaning.

You picked the compressor up from me as well from memory , good to know its still going strong

For that price I'd want each grain to have been hand-sharpened by eunuchs in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.

Unfortunately very close to Lowestoft harbour , not a eunuch in sight
