Farm Photos

[samuijimmy]

Good folks

This is just a friendly reminder that this is the Farming Forum and not Pub and Entertainment.

(Sorry if that sounds a little like Shaggy is 'up his own arse' but I feel that it needs to be said.)

I started this thread to show my own farm photos and hopefully in return you would show yours.

Please don't get me wrong,there have been many wonderful posts and I think I can safely

speak for all of us when I say that we have all enjoyed viewing them and still do,but it is starting

to become what I had hoped it wouldn't.

Believe me when I say that it was not easy for me to share my own photos,because I knew that

I would have to publicly admit to everyone that I had failed,none the less I continued and in my

eyes this thread has become a nice place to come and to view what myself and you guys have made

and are making for yourselves in Thailand.

So lets please try and keep this thread on track.

Many thanks and kind regards

Shaggy

Well the big one is not coming out this year.

Man, that's some sloppy soil.

Actually, I would have thought that photo doctored but,

many years ago on my Uncles Farm in those rich deep

black clay soils of the Darling Downs, he bogged it past the axles!

and WOW ... you have those fancy thing attached to the wheels

designed to cope with the mud ... I don't know their name.

So ... what's the plan to remove thus tractor?

Shaggy, there aren't many threads with over 1000 posts.

You started a blinder here, but with that many posts you have to expect the odd stray

I think we have a nice micro community going here, I for one am glad I found it and was welcomed.

Love looking at the pics but also love the occasional piss taking...

Boy oh Boy David~~~!!!

I did re-size that down to 1024 x 8 --? (normal size I thought was OK with everyone, I have been trying to watch for that....) What browser do you use? .... This size shows up OK on my 11" Mac Air with Firefox... although normally I use the Mini and larger screen, but I was testing Wifi yesterday, with the smaller screen and all was OK

It was almost double that size before I did resize ~ It was a huge pile of Doo Doo

Anyone else having problems? Seems to me those of us, using Picasa or Flicker use this size I think ? (some use the 800 x XXX size....

It also works as a back up of images, which I don't want too small !!!

Feed back is OK!

Maybe it's only a problem for me.

Tywais has mentioned before a suggested size ... though I looked and can't find that post now.

What browser do I use ... FireFox.

David said I should make some more photo here now

because it good for shaggy, good for the story

so, here is some of me and the Farm

I can only do few photos because it is early here, sun not up

but have to go in to the Bangkok

I learn how to put photo inside :-)

easy for me to show photo of the Farm

but David say also nice for show photo of me working

I hope you like them?

MissFarmGirl

Anytime we can see your smiling face and your farm it is good for us.

Thank you for finding the time to post these wonderful photos.

I hope that you had a safe and happy journey to Bangkok.

[shaggy1969]

But not all Farm photos revolve around animals ...

shaggy1969 ... I hope I and MissFarmGirl have anticipated what you were looking for in a return to the Threads focus?

Let us know ...

.

How true you are David,not all farm photos revolve around animals.

Variety is the spice of life and your photos certainly help spice up this thread.

A big thank you to MissFarmGirl and your good self

[shaggy1969]

The gutters done,along with floor and electric.

The grano workers start on outside toilet for fil today.

Just waiting for builder to come back to put link mesh in remaining space near roof.

Happy Birthday farmerjo

Your building is looking great

It has been really interesting seeing the progress over that past weeks.

your little tractor will have a fine place to stay.

Good luck with the skull drag.

Carlos,you are absolutely correct in what you say.

I hope my post last night has not spoiled the community feeling that we have here,because that was never my intention.

I love looking at everyone's photos and also sharing all of your experiences,it makes me feel closer to Thailand when I am not there.

Maybe I took some of the posts too much to heart,

Can we all agree not to make fun of family members and keep the piss taking between us folks?

Anyway,enough of my waffle....this is Farm Photos thread after all.

Another farm sunset.

[samuijimmy]

Partly for David's benefit I have re-sized this down to 800 x

Buffalo along the canal, near Thali Noi Lake Songkhla. Sometimes there by the hundreds...

RedBullHorn ... Nice ...

Guinness !

I wish !!!!! It's my EM brew mate...

I'm a super nice guy in my village, everyone respect a hard working Chinese with a clean nose and good contribution to village activities. My machines are all marked, if thief steals them, they better dispose them far away... I'd suggest Mars or Jupiter. Everybody knows...

Yes I agree with you.

However it's very nice to enjoy posters who actually read, understand and prefer to reply in their own personal ways with a picture accompanied by words.

I DO enjoy the now and then laughter and banter, but over time all things farming have become a more serious thing for me.

I have to emphasize this doesn't take away the fact that I am able to respect and adore someone who posted a big pile of dried horse manure in the middle of a more serious conversation.

It was buffalo poo poo.... DAL.... if you are going to be a farm boy, you need to know the difference

Have another beer

I just liked this one.

It's the Farm Father moving one of his water pumping machines.

These things are so dangerous to drive as you propel it forward

by pressing and holding the drive pulley into the rotating drive belt.

The margin of error is minimal.

I'm sure more then one Thai Farmer has lost a finger or maybe more.

[Dancealot]

You have read and understood what was written, previously? -No more bull manure.

[shaggy1969]

Anyone know the name of these vegetables?

This is photo was taken at a friends farm back in 2008.I remember Tong Dee being very proud of these vegetables but I can't for the life of me remember what they are called.

I had to admire this guy for what he was doing,he was a highly educated man that decided to try and live his life and build a farm to the wishes of The King of Thailand (Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy)

Not only did he try an live his life according to the wishes of the King but he was also teaching other how to do the same,an admirable and very nice guy.

They look to me like a type of sweet potato and my wife confirms that although I couldn't get my mouth around the thai pronunciation.
