No truer statement has ever been made!!!

I counted 47 cars behind a motor home going about 48 MPH
I was doing the NASCAR weave behind my F'in tourist convoy.......

I was traveling to another town the other day. Two huge caravans behind huge 4wds alternating between 70 and 80kph. Km after km, oblivious im behind them paying zero attention hogging the road in the middle of it. Finally I think they know im there so I floor it to overtake, nope, guy in front just swerved to the left for a bit, now im beside him he decides to swerve back the the centre of the road. I have to drop my side wheels into the gravel at 110kph to avoid the old git, huge gum trees just meters away. Totally oblivious still that im there. Its becoming more common now these huge rigs driven by idiots with no idea. Vans are getting bigger and there are calls for special drivers courses for these monster things as your getting city slickers retiring doing around the county trips that have never driven bush before let alone towing giant off road caravans. With the starlink satellites too many are choosing to work and travel on the road so there is also these younger no idea nor experience what its like driving in the bush getting them. Iv never seen so many, it absolutely exploded all of this after covid and the lockdowns. The new work remotely generation.

I'm going to venture a guess that your roads and assholes driving on them.....are a bit different. Almost like it's a different country!! My fire bird has an air horn and today a few blasts were administered!!!

Our rural connecting roads mostly have just enough room for two vehicles and not much wriggle room for error. Typically when im on one of those and see a semi coming ill pull over and let him have it all. Better to wait a minute than have them drop the passenger side wheels into the gravel and shower you with it all at 100kph. 9 out of 10 give you the thumb up for doing it and get why you did. Safer for them and for me.
Speaking of horns. Back in the CB days a mate had a speaker set up under his car hood which you could talk through with the CB mic. I had doing a Police siren down to a fine art by whistling. It was hilarious seeing cars move over when I'd do it thinking a Police car was coming. 😂
Different sirens now, I couldn't copy these new ones.

Well the tractor had a big gurgling burp, then a big hydraulic burp/fart.
Hydraulic oil shot up 6 ft where the filler is.
Working great now.
I guess it had a airlock in the system.
Buddy fine tuned my new mig welder.
Now the welds look like welds.

Had another guy help put the front guard on the 5000.
He said we'll use his skidder to pull some fallen trees out of my bush this year.

Had this broken shovel for 6 yrs at least.
Buddy that tuned up the mig, welded it up at his shop. Took the plasma cutter cut the blade down.
My new turf shovel for digging.

If you stir a sweet with peanut butter it will turn to a very firm mixture.
Molasses works well also.

I learnt something new. I never knew doing that made the mixture firmer, if anyone had asked me what I think would happen id have guessed make it runnier.
