The Joys of the new SA....
Posted: Sun Jan 09, 2022 3:24 am
So it's 03:10 am and I've just returned from our cattle camps as the security company called at 2am saying the cattle were out....
Now it still pretty wet as we had nearly 400mm of rain in december and it started raining at around 10 last night....
Guess about another 30mm.
Anyhow, fortunately my work vehicle is a (white!) Toyota 4x4 and I was able to quickly go and take a look. I recently put on new fongkong tyres (more about that in a different thread) and must admit I'm extremely happy so far! Conditions out there are pretty dodgy at the moment.
Getting back to the cattle - I suspect unwanted guests as one fence is flattened and there are tracks all over.
How I LOVE this country (he says with utmost sarcasm).
So I'm up again at 6 -it's my working weekend and we'll have to go looking for our animals.
Should total around 4 hrs of sleep for the night!
What I found nearly as disappointing as the 2am phone call from the security company was that Manny locked his latest thread for comments!
I mean, how do you do half a trip report and then leave your readers hanging???
Anyhow, I trust that the rest of you are getting a good night's rest. It's 03:20 and I must try to get some shuteye.
Will take pics tomorrow of the conditions so that you all can better appreciate the 4x4 capabilities of a (white!) Toyota
