You sure about that Charlie... dare you to count them...

yab cab, like the name.

Congratulations Charlie to you and the Mrs, any baby photos?

Yea count them....thanks Rupe. 60-ish is being conservative and was the best I could come up with but to be realistic could be somewhere between 40 and 100. Hard to say.

Not the easiest to take pics of Faye cause they are sooo small but one little guy seemed to be up to the challenge...

Took a few shots at different angles of this fella, the rest move around so quickly or are in hiding.









How many can you see in this shot??



I will post updates as they grow so you can see the progress, I also have a heap of aggression attack video's I have been working on so others can see these guys in action and what they are capable of in critical situations.

Get Mum out of there Charlie... otherwise you count might end up closer to 6...

Adorable!

Yea mum came out straight away Rupe.

Back from holidays guys!

Had a great time in esperance, caught a few fish and drank a few beers, hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas too.

And the AP... well, left side is doing well, have an abundance of tommies and celery kicking butt, silver beet doing its usual greatness and capcicum looks ok.
Right side - good and bad, corn looks fantastic and got a few cobs happening but the tommies have copped a hammering from caterpillars and so has the silver beet. Not the green caterpillars but a large brown type, they have eaten nearly every leaf off the silverbeet and crapped all over everything and bored holes through nearly every tomato.

The algae prob in the right FT is completely gone and the water is crystal clear but now the left FT is a little green.

All fish - healthy and eating.

Time to plan the move.... oh man this aint gunna be easy.

Diipel.

We missed you Charlie

Oh thanks Faye, feels like forever.

Cheers Col, those little buggers have made a mess. Dipel tomorrow mate, thanks.

Ok, the move is over!! YIPEE!!!

Took 9 hours to completely move AP system and fabricate the new and improved system at new location.
My back is so sore today after shovelling all the gravel and bucketing water, had to triple handle everything as I couldnt get a forklift under the patio to lift the GB's. So gravel had to go out of GB into wheelbarrow - out of wheelbarrow into tralier - out of trailer into buckets then into GB at new location - whew.. and similar with water.

But, all SP survived the trip although they seem a little grumpy with me.

Special thanks to my old man and my lovely wife, couldnt have done it without them.

Pics up soon

Photo's....

Work is Done need photo's NOW.....



Lol
Juergen

Still in the process of transfering internet etc Snow, so dont have my computer on yet but I will get them up asap

All that shovelling is character building.... Good to see you are set up again though mate, hope you don't have to do it again in a hurry, it's not much fun...
