tarred and feathered

[vince smith]

Hello All, "she who must be obeyed" had to go away for a few days and her parting shot was I don't like leaving you alone you cannot look after yourself.

What a thing to say after 47 years together.

Before she gets home today I thought I better make sure everything is shipshape, That odd coffee cup etc.

I start off by releasing and feeding HER chooks. Then I procede to clean the water trough for HER cattle and give them some molasses .

Then I notice a red chook stuck in some molasses I spilt yesterday, well I didn't spil it I started to fill a bucket and walked away and forgot it. (about 10 gallons worth)

Gees its hard stuff to clean up, the shovel was just getting stuck so I covered it with a layer of dirt. Now this red chook scratches the dirt and gets bogged down, good and propper, So another chook comes over to peck the silly thing and gets bogged as well.

I pull them both out and try and wipe some of it off with my hands and they can now sort of limp/jump around but because of the hot weather there are leaves on the ground everywhere and they soon dissapear into the trees
covered in leaves.

That should have been the end of it but because of yesterdays losses I have to use a new drum (55 gal) of molasses and I dont feel like getting the tractor to stand it on end just to put the valve in and think I can just release the bung a bit to do the change over. I've done this before.

Not today I dropped the valve and bung into the bucket of now half full molasses, I try and block the hole with one hand while I recover the bung and eventually succeed but now have another area to spread dirt over.

I spread it much thicker this time.

I also have it on my shirt and shorts so I cannot hide anything but I should be allright, women do like to be proven right, don't they.

I'll try and get a snap of the chooks, if they ever come back.

Regards Vince Smith.

Vince, that sounds like something I'd do.:laughing: And as a matter of fact, that even sounds like my bride of 46 years.:laughing:

If I don't know something, I want to learn. What are chooks? I ascertain that they are chickens?:confused2:

Creek, Chooks, are chickens down under. Need to learn how to speak like an Aussie. Don't think that your would want to know what a "Wanker" is. And the 9 ways the word "Bastard" is used. :laughing:

Thanks, that's what I thought they called chickens in Aussie Land-down under. The closest I have been to Australia, is "OUTBACK". They have excellent ribs there. Maybe you have eaten there. I just don't understand how Australia can be called (1) the World's largest inhabited island, (2) the World's smallest Continent, (3) and also a Country? Now do you understand my puzzlement in regards to chooks or chickens? In the Southern U.S. some people call a paper bag a "Poke" or a soda - a "Dope". People in one area are sometimes confused in regards to slang words and variations in different areas of the World. By the way, I really did enjoy the Crocodile Dundee movies. I found out what a "Bloke" was by watching those movies.:laughing:

Yup, the women always win. Years ago my wife and i were walking into the dining room for dinner, each carrying a plate of spagetti. The wife spilt a little drop or to on the countertop and stupid old me started to laugh and i called her a pig. Of course the next second i go and upend my entire plate and it runs down my pant leg and all over the floor.

She just looks at me, hitched up her head and walks off.

I felt 2" tall.

I've "only" been married 23 years but I learned early on that your wife needs to believe you really really really need her to survive.

So, you went a long way to reinforcing her needs.:thumbsup:
