    Des Latham is awesome, his History of South Africa podcast is very informative

    Buy a farm and live there, but let the farm to an established farmer, is what I'd suggest. As my 60th approaches, I'm heading that way. You get the lifestyle, but not the stress. My newest expense is security, I'm paying R6200 a month for armed security.

    Thanks guys, been looking for the Tracker. Got 2 mates doing the Race To Paarl this year, Blanket wearer Erik Egeland and JG Wardle, a legend in his own mind from Cathcart, Thomas River MTB trail boss.

    Deanbean takes a dive, if you are going to keep using that pic, I DEMAND FREE ENTRIES, the beers are free already so can't demand that edit, and I rode in flats this year so that there was no repeat

    Mike Rowe's "The way I heard it" is excellent. Try to work out who or what he is talking about before the end. All between 5&7 min long.

    RIFLE

    deanbean replied to mon-goose's topic in Chit chat

    With reloading I started at the minimum load and moved up 0.4gn at a time. Did 5 loads at each, then tested accuracy over 50m. Amazingly enough the minimum load was the most accurate on my every day carry rifle(a .222 Remington Sako), which suits me as it's quiet. Only 23.2gn to get a good grouping

    I had a roller and chainguide on my Bigwig, but once I put an oval chain ring on it didn't work so well, so I used a rear Rapide tensioner as well (A bit belt and braces I know). Worked really well to retain the chain on our really bad gravel roads. Its very easy to re-tension the chain, loosen the bolts a touch, twist the plate and tighten, no need to remove cranks.

    Watching bokkie eat in my garden. Now. That's why I've fenced the Rose's off, so I don't have to chase the little ****.

    The wind is pumping here, so I can imagine it's not too comfortable on Lehana

    I've been watching Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman's Good Omens, looking for the motorbikes, this is the only decent pic I could find. Famine, War, Death and Pollution

    Snakes

    A twatwaffle? The Aussie accent is strong when the clip starts then becomes saffer [emoji16] as it progresses.

    Snakes

    deanbean replied to Motard660's topic in The Bike Room

    Idiot, only do this for the kudos of your mates. Easy to get up and walk a few paces away where you won't bother the snake.

    I'm a poepol without a camera. I release snakes and only then take a photo, and then only if it's an interesting specimen or unusual colourLike this puffie
