Yep, you have to really keep an eye out in Yass when with the Hedge Bros... John was too strong and I didn't see it coming, so I now have 2 eggs on my head from the weekend - the other one from a tin shed roof when swinging up into the blitz.
It was fun driving the blitzes, especially the haycarting semi-trailer version... Also visited Ashley Wilson and found he has a similar rig for hay carting, only this one is a Chev.
Thanks, Max and Kathy for the weekend - the footage looks good and I'll recover I hope. I slept most of the way back in Euan's GMC ute.
We had almost 3 inches of rain here last night - some places near Melbourne had 5 inches - a once in a century event for us.

On the weekend we held a vintage harvest day using old balers, binders , headers, tractors etc with the Blitz's putting on a show as well. Keith filmed the event for us and managed to drive three different Blitz's and ride in the carrier in the one day. His spirits were really going high until we did some hay carting, we were loading hay from one truck to the Blitz when my brother threw a bale of hay for Keith to catch, Keith didn't see it coming, and hit him in the head, Keith jumped and hit his head on the roof of the tunnel, Keith's expression changed drastically within seconds (hope you have recovered and the concussion wasn't too bad). His trusted friend Euan picked him up on Monday to take him home, hopefully Euan nursed him well enough to be recovered by the time he arrived home. Thanks again for your help Keith we got all our hay in and had two inches of rain overnight, and it's raining again this morning.
