It is running on gas....

Give that man 1/2 a Cigar!

So ... what's the other part of the puzzle ... you are 100% on the right track.

It's still got the fuel pump fitted

[farmerjo]

Is the engine cooled from the long tail?

[Dancealot]

Changing water, I'm support to do 4 ponds today but the long tail pipe broke down for the first pond...

Maybe a stupid question, RBH, But do you swap water inbetween ponds? And what is the purpose of this?

Cheers.

Goompa.....These are the dogs you liked (my neighbours dogs)

They come and sit with me everyone morning as I have my morning coffee when I am at home.

The one that is standing is the dominant of the two brothers and he owns the street.

He tried showing me who was boss when we first meet....made it clear that Shaggy is no-ones bitch......after that we got on great

...

I think VF's influence is rubbing off ... great photo.

Great subject matter, composure, exposure, subject empathy (the people ... as a viewer, I can see that they are comfortable to have their photo taken) and, for me, being the Farming Forum ... about Farming.

We'll need a 'Best of Shaggy' photo thread soon!

It's a diesel motor.

I didn't think it was possible to have a diesel motor which also used Gas.

When I asked the Farm Father he said ... only one in Thailand ...

The reason to do this is that Gas is cheaper.

@ Farmerjo ... no ... it runs a cooling system the same as a car motor with a standard Radiator.

I don't want to detract from Shaggy's Farm Photo thread ... later I'll do a Farm Machine OP where we can post and explain the stuff we use at the Farm.

Think you will find that the engine is running on a diesel/LPG mix. The LPG is delivered per the air intake manifold to the cylinder and fired with the diesel ignition. Supposed to give more power and better economy .

The pump is also self propelled via a PTO drive onto the axle and steered manually via a jockey wheel which fits onto to frame at the intake end of the pump.

Unless the streams are low and grow out fishes needed the necessary depth, rarely will i swap water inbetween ponds.

people say they never see baby pigeons,

here you go

Thank you Shaggy , They are a crossbreed , I think Aus Dingo or Asian Dingo with a fox terrrior , Maybe I am wrong , often am.

Good looking dogs IMO .

Corn crop is coming along fine.It's over six foot now and starting to flower also note one of my dragon fruit set ups in the foreground.

Home sweet home.

[shaggy1969]

It must be quite intimidating being stood next to such a huge beast.

[David48]

Home sweet home.

Nice photo.

Love the broody mood the storm clouds create.

My Thai is scratchy (bullshit David - we all know you can't read even one word!) ... what does the sign say?

Shaggy's Shack?

Could be interesting........a photo of 'Horny David' (censored of course)

^^ I think that door has been closed now.

Yesterday, I spent most of my free time looking at Baby gear ...

Prams, change tables ... those slings that make the baby hang from your chest.

When I mentioned the slings to MissFarmGirl she said

'make sure they are strong ... any kid of yours is going to have a fat ass' ...

[Dancealot]

make sure they are strong ... any kid of yours is going to have a fat ass' ...

Hmmm..

So she thinks prams and baby carry devices will compromise their physical developement? Have I freely translated that politely?

If so,... I think she has got a valid point.

[Dancealot]

We couldn't resist.

//Closed now, David.

Can someone help me please ?

We had a large hole dug , and the result was this discolouration .

Will this be detrimental to the raising of fish ?

I would like to know from your opinion what this is , and problems I need to address this issue with ,

Thank you , I hope this is not a Major problem.

This is only an educated guess Goompa.

Judging by the rusty red colour I would say that you have hit a patch of iron minerals in the soil.

But as i said it is only a guess,I am sure that someone with more knowledge on the matter will be able to help you with your query.

That (iron minerals) would be my guess also. Any iron pipes running through the area? Not a previous land fill I hope.

Liesegang Bands?

//Edit - possible to take a PH measurement of it.
