Goats and Alpaca

New farm additions! A dwarf alpaca and additional miniature goats! 🦙🐐

Full grown bowen mango

Harvest day! This is what a fully grown bowen mango sizes up to

We do a lot of earthworks here, has made hydraulics the bane of my existence.. I always carry a spare of the longest length on the tractor now

Goats stealing guavas right from the tree

So much for harvesting our guava's later this month then...

lol, live on a farm and regularly working on tractors and building.. I was just impatient, and rushing

Had this earlier in the year, I’d over tightened one side (used an impact).. doing them equally(ish) to tension by hand fixed the seal and stopped the leak

Minatare goats

New farm additions for Christmas, and a family barn build for the weekend 🐐

Microsoft Recall screenshots credit cards and Social Security numbers, even with the "sensitive information" filter enabled Despite promising to filter personal data out, Recall still captures it.

oh hey that thing we said was a bad idea is a bad idea

43celcius according to the car

Goodbye Spring 😭

Tag, drench and bulls to steers today.. taught my son how to ear tag and had him do a few, pretty cool experience for a 5yo

First mangos of the season! We’ve 37 fruiting trees, so going to be learning a lot this year..

Successfully rejuvenated 37 mango trees that hadn't borne fruit for the past ~two years. Working with an arborist, we drastically pruned them from 20m to 10m per tree. Thrilled to see that they're now bearing fruit! 🌳🥭

A year to the day I burnt out worse than I ever have, leading to my wife and I selling our house, and buying an overrun farm to restore to prior glory.

... Best decision we ever made. Happier than ever, huge health improvements mentally, and physically. Strongly recommended.

Weekend scrub clearing.. I can get to my bees again!

Came outside to quite the sight. Something tells me the kids have been feeding the Kookaburra's...

Noted, though I’ve already made the mistake of tequila at defcon before my flight home, may consider that part optional

At the time, I was a developer from Australia… seemed to fit :)

Interesting… I’m mostly following the lead of a lawyer friend. If I wanted to learn more about that, with much less experience in this than you have, where would you begin?

Ahhhhhh… sorry, bias. I did the land thing last year / been building out.

Depends on what kind of a master agreement you have with them… most are very explicit on data ownership, which makes this a non issue. Matters for individual <-> individual but not for businesses as press is making out

Thinking this through more too - fencing is about 50k if 10-20 acres (self building), another 10k or so for materials if you build your own barns.. all very, very expensive if you want to build something multi generational with minimal upkeep

Missed opportunity for a subtle “oh hay there” when you walked in.. imagine your reaction later on if they did

Not sure I’d agree if you’re doing food also. The labour cost is high, even if you’re just farming to supplement. Much higher time inputs if you don’t own tractor, excavator, etc also. At least 150k need there

I’ve managed water, and septic.. off grid power, fully off grid starts at min 50k where I live though. Battery technology still isn’t quite there yet

I’ve tried a few times to get going here, but it does feel dead to me each time. Genuine question - what should I do differently? I’d like to post more, but don’t want to spam, and get no interest when I do post

Oof. Feel for the chicken that laid this! Regular eggs for comparison. I’ve no turkeys or ducks in this run..

Just your average danger noodle off to hunt some drop bears

If I join can we get matching tattoos? Worth at least 10-15 skeet’s about how inspired by site we were

Dare I ask. What’s a vagueskeet?

Tell me your best Aussie fact, and I’ll tell you why it’s horribly inaccurate and probably offends us
