Not had the best day here today as have managed to blacken four finger nails have done three on one hand and one on another. Hopefully will be ploughing some ground for spring beans on the frost tomorrow morning as sheep have just cleared up the last of turnips. Was putting weight block on front of tractor with a chain and it slipped and trapped three fingers which made a mess of them then in a rage jumped in jcb to lower it down and trapped a finger of the other hand as I slammed the door shut. Just waiting for the wife to get home so she can drill them and let the pressure out .
I wouldn’t let my mrs near me with the drill,drilled my last one myself.

Ohhhhhhhh here comes super curler throwing his skippishness in our faces telling us how he likes it swept.

Skips need good sweepers so they don’t hog it all the time :sneaky:

😂 It's a team sport - team work makes the dream work!!

Everyone needs to pull their weight! sh!t sweepers annoy me even when I'm playing down the team... the most annoying is folks who half try when they sweep - but the brush is never actually Infront of the stone at any point 🤦🏻‍♂️.. sweeping the ice to the side of the stone like that'll make any difference 🤣

Always do. Just saying an analyst can't be a farmer and a farmer can't be analyst. Sometimes we should just let professionals handle it while we do our part.
And present us with yet another invoice for something I can achieve with a few phone calls and a quick check on here?
As long as I don’t try to Google anything @unlacedgecko says that is… 🤣

Should bring your Scottish team here for the bonspiel Niths. It’s a yearly to do that used to be an all nighter but there aren’t enough teams anymore so it’s more like an 11 o’clocker.

There’s even a theme. If you book next year I bet they could make it Scottish! :woot:

I need the broom on the ice. It’s what’s holding me up :ROFLMAO: Where it is I’m only half in control of.

You're needing to work on your core strength ... your man should really be helping you with that 😏
