I may have asked before, but are you on volcanic soil or know the make up?

Loam and clay , pretty old soil and slowly bringing it back from quite acidic by liming. The area is known for sparce trace elements which is why we always have licks available.

14 years is a good innings, obviously thats a stronger bond you lose.

Yeah. Its sucks losing a good dog, even mates/family dogs if you see them every day or two.

Cheers

Quick survey of the land around tho house, 4 limbs down, one across driveway and one on a fence, fixed fence but the electric is down a bit to 3.5kv, so i suspect there are other branches down elsewhere, winds picked back up so seeking salvation inside and regretting forgetting to get bacon at the shops yesterday :-(

 

[koshari]

google tells me its close to lindsays birthday,

he has grown a little since then,

 

[koshari]

Another day of wind, 4 more trees down, 1 on fence and one over our road, all cleared up again but electric fence is low so probably still a few small branches somewhere, even got some celluer internet again!

Poor bloke across the road lost his hayshed.

 

[ferball]

Fencing after storms. Never ending...

 

[koshari]

Whoo hoo power and nbn back on...

Yep the obvious ones first then hunting the electric fence shorts, the handheld direction tester sure helps.

Short very intense bursts here Koshi. Bitta hail too.

same same, 10mm in about 10 minutes, now slow rain, we also had hail, up to 12mm diameter. guttering couldnt keep up, was a good test of the bluemetal i put down recently though to stop the apron of the machinary shed pooling, hail stretching the netting on the chicken enclosure,
