Man Happiness

The last 2 and a bit years my Darling Husband has managed to achieve a new level of “excitement”, “winning” and absolute pure “joy”. How has he achieved this you may ask? Well it all started after we sold our suburban home and moved to our current property.

We moved to our new 20 acre digs about 6 years ago and within 3 months of settling in we had been gifted a few head of cattle. Now the history of those cattle are for another post but, those 8 head of cattle got him looking on the internet for more land. Eventually he found (for a ridiculously small sum of money) what would become our Bush Block.

The creek that runs (when we get enough rain) through the middle of our Bush Block.

This Bush Block has given him the will to live (seems an extreme idea but considering how sick he was in 2020 it was driving force). This place was what drove him to not give up and rethink his purpose and return to his true calling…..Farming. Or better yet Grazier!

Fixing the machinery with the “supervisors” looking on.

Now his joy and childish excitement did not stop there. Oh no! Now he needed motor bikes, portable cattle yards, cattle truck and many other heavy duty machinery. 2019 he got himself, well I got him as a birthday present a 6 tonne digger. Insert Tim the Toolman Taylor grunting. This of course has lead to him purchasing extra bits and bobs for it so he can do more with it. After the success of the digger he managed to score himself as a Christmas present a bulldozer and saw mill!

My Husband is currently leading 2021 like a kid who has been let lose in candy shop with no adult supervision. It does not help that his father recently gave him this pearl of wisdom “A man with no gear gets nothing done!” I’m sure you can imagine where conversations have led since that statement.

The digger!
The bulldozer. If you want to see it in action check out his YouTube channel “Mountain Block Moments”

Let’s just say that Husband Dear is slowly getting his heavy duty gear and I for one am expecting a lot to get done. Especially as he his now a man with the gear!
