Next, we've got Al McCleary from Sheerwell, New Zealand get Alan.
How you get one white cross yourself surviving? Yeah, comfortable
to be for you? Yeah, a bit of a shocker
last week.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, yeah, that was that sort of came out as well.
We had a wee bit of warnament came out of
nowhere in the end of it. We didn't think it
was going to be that bad.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It never has been prior has it?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
No? No, and the countryside, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
A mess, but they could be fixed. I mean you
were just saying, oh, yeah, you had a bit of
a picking a poke to get home on the Thursday.
How have you feared at your own place? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well I was up. I was actually up around Metal's Flat,
calling on the farmers up there, and it was a
stiff breeze, but it wasn't anything like like what they got.
I got as far as Lawrence and the road was closed,
so I detoured over the hill, had to do a
fear but a ticket touring between. They really copped it
up there, and.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
The beauty of that, though, I'm sorry to jump in,
but the beauty of coming through there is if you
get the trouble on a good day. You still got
no SOUF and coverage, so you will nowhere it's off.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Lutfullly not. But the view wasn't so good at all.
Trees I just seen tree roots, yeah so but yeah no,
look I got home and yeah, we're not looking that flesh.
We've got a lot of shy. I love trees, and
we have a lot lying down on the shoulder belts
and water system to shut down. But it was as
microcarvers at home that are you know, over one hundred
(01:29):
and fifty years old, and they've been blown over or
just shattered.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
But they exploded, yeah, like lightnings at them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's amazing. Isn't that the power?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
But never mind, we look at it. There's no rush
to clean a lot of them up. We just have
to sit back and take a take a breath or two.
And and they're not going away in a hurry.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
No, people get to them. I wouldn't be panicking too much.
As long as your premier defences are safe and your
water troughs are okay and that sort of thing. You're
generally you're not far away, are you.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
No, And we've been without power for over a week,
but they got it back. They've done tremendous job, those guys.
So they got pair back on last night. So you know,
we've got wet back and we've got our own water
system and that.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
So we were pretty much what about mat and the freezer?
Is it okay? A lot of it?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Or yeah? Yeah, I had a generator as well. Yes,
and I know we look we're as good as gold,
but brilliant. You've always got to just show I used
to be a Scout leader, so it was my wife,
so you've got to be prepared, to be prepared.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yes, well you've done that. So and now we could
talk that all day and everybody's probably sick of hearing
it too. But what's happening in the sharewell world with
tags and et cetera.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Well, once again, I'm going to tell you I say
it every time i'm talking, as we've had a fantastic month.
It's probably the biggest month again. It just keeps growing.
The sheet tags have been going out all October. Cattle
tags will start up this next month. People will start
to to start marking carves and that's so they'll start
(03:03):
going out. And we had the heat wave special there
for a couple of months and that went really well.
We got very well supported. It was a lot went
out the door for that, So I hope I've got
a lot of a lot of happy lambs and calves
out there and farmers wives that don't have to go
out and feed during the ye. But other than that,
(03:23):
we've been it's just just bausiness as normal. Really, I
haven't been around too much this week. Farmer doesn't really
want to see me coming up the driveway on this.
I've probably got a chain saw perfect.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
That's right though, se might you unhelp the old one here?
It might be been winning for you.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, well, I was going to put an ad on
the on the radio. I suppose I could do it now,
Like if anybody wants some cheap firewood, I could probably
sell them.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Some cheap I think there quite a few people competing
with your net market. But it's look, it's it's quite
good to have a little bit of levity around it.
Because it's as bad as it's been. People are fine, Like,
we can smile, we can laugh, so that spirit still
there is not that fighting spirit.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Oh you look, yeah, you could easily get down, but
you've only got two options. Either just get on with it,
or you get get upset and I don't. Yeah, it's
like there's a lot of work out there to be done,
but it doesn't have to be done today or tomorrow,
is it.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
No, it'll get done, he always does. So hey, look
we might just tie it up there and leave that
the Ellen, if that's okay. Thank you very much for
your time. Hopefully things get on the improve for you
and you get back to normal business as usual with
the power being back on now.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
And I just wish everybody else, you know, keep safe
and keep smiling too.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
