How do I "adjust" the high quality Chinese radio in my excavator , ahhh , yep , that did it . In Bart Simpsons most evil laugh .
Thats a....oxymoron...or something... You said "council" "foresight" and "brains" in the same sentence..
i wasn't thinking clearly squizzy, i should have broken it up in to two sentences..
Over here its much better managed...if you want your Mayor to develop some "feelings, foresight and brains" {ie to approve your new canal development} you just whip him 40 G's under the table at lunch.......just don't let your ratepayers find out!:cool2
I wouldn't hesitate to give someone a backhander , as doing it straight has got me nowhere . But how do you know who to talk to or how to go about it ? Is it like a Mormons handshake or something ? Or is there a twitch or wink that Ive been missing .:Banghead
Australia , land of drought and flooding rains .........
I started a Government contract on Monday , Tuesday it started raining . Wednesday i got a bad feeling and brought the gear home . Today , Friday they are evacuating Grafton as the Clarence River may top the levy banks and flood the city . It looks like being a 1 in 100 year flood . Things can happen quickly here , 2 months ago we had raging fires .
it is absolutely pouring here now, fortunately no hail.For the first time in my life, today I plowed snow.....no..thats not true...I pushed ice.... with the loader....I swear those hail stones where the size of golf balls.....shoulda seen my compactor man run for it
dorothea mackellar summed it up pretty well.
i love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains
of ragged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains
i love her jewell horizons, i love her blue sea,
her beauty and her terror, this wide brown land for me.
my apologies to the author for any errors.
Don't go getting all sphillisopffical on us now Pete. Banjo Patterson get it right...

that looks like an excellent idea reg, what brand is the dedicated machine ?This is what i want to do to my excavator . I want to fit a tractor PTO driven drum chipper between the tracks at the front , driven by a 400hp horizontal bus engine between the tracks at the rear . The two would be connected with a PTO shaft running through a steel tube cut into the center of the slew ring tower . I want to be able to snap a Camphor Laurel tree off and feed it straight into the chipper which would throw the chips out the side and onto the ground . It would work the same as the dedicated machine pictured but would have the added ability of also falling the tree . I got a silly price off of an Australian company to supply the chipper . Does anyone watching this forum have the ability to supply me with a 400-450mm capacity chipper at a reasonable cost ? Please PM me if you can .
do you reckon banjo patterson wrote that ? i may be wrong, i learnt that poem in primary school over 50 years ago, i thought it was dorothea mackellar.
pouring rain here again.
I wasn't talking about the Sunburnt country...whenever I think of things typical of Australia I think about a wonderful country run by buffoons. Did anybody actually click on the link I posted...BP wrote "when Dacey Rode the Mule"....I was just trying to covertly put a political spin on the thread.
