Every time I've met a farmer it seems to be...
Do an insane amount of work, have a cup-a-tea.
Do an insane amount of work, have a cup-a-tea.
Do an insane amount of work, have a cup-a-tea.

For Tara it's:
Do an insane amount of work, have a cup-a-tea.
Do an insane amount of work, have a cup-a-tea.
Do an insane amount of work, murder a spider.

I absolutely love watching your channel.. yes sheep are interesting... but you are hilarious... I watch just to laugh att your brilliant sense of humor.. you make me laugh, your running dialog is hilarious. I wish I could talk like this when I go to work... so it's a therapy for me. Because you have more freedom of speech then I do. And trust I work with 'human sheep'. I wish I could give them the nicknames you use for actual sheep... if I could buy you a dream vehicle I would.. You are also a great example of free range animal 'husbandry' is what we call it in the USA.. but in my book, your a great shepherd!!!❤❤❤

I'm the person who gets called to remove eight legged intruders (at home and at work) because I've lost all fear of them, and even *I* would be like "sir, that's yours now, drive safely."

I have a rule. All spiders, snakes and other things allowed to live as long as they don't let me see them

When I visited a friend in Sydney, they had an annex that was vacant and infested with Huntsman spiders. I wanted to sleep in the car but I couldn’t let them know what a sissy I was. When strolling through the gardens I accidentally kicked a Sydney funnel web’s home. She charged and literally chased me around the yard until I escaped inside. A few hours later I went outside and she was still waiting for me by the door. And of course the red backs were all over the shed. Was so happy to get home to the nasties that I know. (I loved Australia and would have moved there in a heartbeat but I was too old.)

Absolutely adore this delightful woman. I could hang out with her and be happy and laughing the whole time. Witty, very smart, and I love her style and sense of humor. Great energy.

Every time I see you with your dirty pink sunhat mesh over your face, it makes me nostalgic and kinda sad. One of my all-time favorite jobs was running heavy equipment like bulldozers, and they kicked up a regular sandstorm here in Florida. I didn't have a cool sunhat, just tied a bandana around my face and it was always filthy at quitting time. Enjoy your life girly! It looks like you've got a sweet one, spiders and all! Scratch Slug for me!

If quick connect hydraulic lines don't want to come off there's pressure holding in the line. Without running anything just move the controls back and forth and that will let the pressure out and they'll come apart just fine.

[jten]

That was a block who left the hydraulic like that, starts with the toilet seat.
