Hi Members
Another month gone it won’t be long Christmas will here.
We had a great display at the Corowa Show great to see so many members with Tractors, Trucks
and Cars. The weather wasn’t very kind but still a good day.
Quite a few members went to the Urana Tractor Pull and came home with Trophies.
Congratulations to Don Bradley and Alison Kingham on becoming grandparents of a little boy.
Next meeting Nov 8th at 10 am.
After the meeting there’ll be a BBQ with the Corowa Car Club.
Members to bring a Salad and Dessert please.
Have a Great Day

Butch the Rooster
Sarah was in the fertilized egg business. She had several hundred young pullets and ten
roosters to fertilize the eggs.
She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters.
Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a distance which rooster was
performing. Now, she could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.
Sarah's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen but, this morning she noticed
old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When she went to investigate, she saw the other
roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets hearing the roosters
coming, would run for cover.
To Sarah's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak
up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one.
Sarah was so proud of old Butch, she entered him in a Show and he became an overnight
sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Peace Prize" they also
awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking
up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?
Vote carefully in the next election. You can't always hear the bells.

The Adventures of Uncle Arthur Oct. 2015
Smiffy was with some of us out at Kidman’s AKA Gnomy the other
week, while we were having lunch Smiffy obviously ate too much
because his chair collapsed under him.
Bob Chamberlain AKA Level Bob was finishing off the wall on their
shed and actually used a spirit level.
Last week when we were working at Kidman’s AKA Gnomy we lost half a
piece of mesh when we moved from one job to the next, so Fox terrier Bill
drove back but couldn’t find it ( should have gone to Spec savers) so Jack
and Gnomy went and had a look and they actually found it, so they put it
in the back of Gnomy’s ute when they got back the mesh had slid out of
the ute and dropped over the ball pull dragging it along.
Ed Farmer AKA Chippy was happy that some of us have been out at
Kidman’s the last few weeks because he got a bigger share of the chips.
Having lunch at Kidman’s last week Caroline put out some Anzac biscuits
but before they had landed on the table Rod the Sod swooped on them like
a hawk and grabbed one.
Fox terrier Bill was changing the oil in his truck to go to Urana, he drained
the oil and went to put the new filter on (bugger) it was the right box but
wrong filter. His helper left him to it as the profanity got a bit strong.
Smiffy bought an outboard motor from Kidman and was told to leave the
stand, that was fine until the next time Gnomy went into his shed he was
cursing Smiffy for taking the stand. This went on for a couple of weeks
until last week Gnomy was in the shed and noticed the stand was there all
the time (should have gone to Spec Savers too).
Gnomy’s better half Caroline was in Wodonga the other day and decided
to fill the ute up with fuel, which she did and drove off down the road a
few hundred metres and the ute stopped “BLING” a light came on as to
why it stopped she had put petrol in instead of diesel( obviously the stress
of putting up with Gnomy).
All ended well after nephew came to the rescue.
Well that’s about all for this month so as Arthur would say don’t speed
between Albury and Corowa!! No that’s not right I meant Hooroo.
