Yesterday, I decided to prune a big willow limb that was hanging over the fence, and over my "Dunder Den".
For some stupid reason, I decided to climb the tree and prune back from the end (branch was 5m high).
After the first few smaller branches, I became a bit cocky, right up to the time a branch that I was balancing on broke.
Luckily (or unluckily), I landed flat on my back, right onto the roof of a car that I was doing up.
Think ill have to re think the car project now (convertible), but at least I came out best.

Found my missing bushknife, pity that I found it by running over it with the lawnmower and it flying at me out of the grass chute in several high-speed pieces. :scared-eek:
No damage done except to my undies...

Well I was going to have my kids for a couple of days, today makes a week. Yeah so I would have to say my luck is well above average right now, oh yeah and my two mashes that were over three months old smelt body but yielded 20 ltrs at 70% of the best sugar head I ever made :D .

Yesterday I found a bottle of 12month old nutrigrain :dance: ( I thought I had run out)
it turned out to be a bottle of foreshots which I forgot to re label ( and take the fucking oak out) :angry-banghead: :angry-banghead: :angry-banghead:
serves me right for being lazy :laughing-rolling:
On the flip side, It reminded me of my very first brew :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :puke-huge:

Sitting back here minding my own business having a browse after being busy as fuck & crook for week only to find some arse clown accusing me of deleting posts n shit, lucky I paid the server fees & hosting for another year of copping shit for providing a forum for free.

It'd be nice to leave the dickhead filter turned off for a day :laughing-rolling:
