Yesterday we went and looked at a too good to be true f350 dump truck 4wd for just $7500. It was all the way over in Lahaina and the guy was adamant over the phone that it had no big issues. As soon as it got to over 45 mph the front end start shaking violently. The guy was a big fat property developing bufo/snake man. I pretended to be pretty clueless (it isn't that hard for me to pull that off because it ain't that far from the truth) and it was just pitiful to see how dishonest he was prepared to be in order to get me to buy the truck. "Oh yeah, you probably just need to get the wheels balanced and that will all go away...". What an arsehole...

So anyway, I was pretty excited for a while there yesterday, at the prospect of having a 4wd dump truck, and a 4wd tractor with which to really rock this thing out... Oh well.

On a brighter more down to earth note, I collected a bunch of Pheasant Wood seeds the other day. This is a legume tree with very good quality wood. Had Bach clean and sort the seeds yesterday morning while I took a load of sugar canes up to the fruit stand.

The baby goats have all survived and are doing pretty well.
