Oh my hat. And it's the end of May. And life continues in the wild. So......we hire ANOTHER huge TLB machine because we need to get cracking on this dam we are building (but it's looking good so far me thinks), make campsites, etc ad nauseum. And the weekend comes....so the TLB owner decides to leave this monster machine with us, because really, even in the arse-end of the bush, nobody even in Africa is going to steal it. Are they?
Well......
The man decides, in his infinite manly-wisdom, that this earth moving giant can't be that difficult to operate. Can it?
And he steals it. Yip, he truely does.
What a farmer brown. How he managed to get up there in the first place is just beyond me. Let's not talk about operating it with only one leg (gasp). And its got a big scraper digging thing at the front and a big squashy thing at the back. And he PLAYS with it for a very long time. the chickens and Bartholomew and I barely escaped with our lives.
And all he did was make a humungous mess which we had to clean up by hand afterwards so the TLB dude wouldn't know his machine had indeed been hijacked, in the arse-end of the bush!
Bloody McGuyver. What next?
