First harvest for 2010

With Stoney Rise's crack team of dedicated pickers at the ready, day break saw the first fruit come in to the shed. What better a way to bring in fruit than a trailer of buckets? We love buckets. Rat, yes, his name is Rat, is a picker plus the trailer and bucket guy. Man Rat loves a bargain - he just picked up two cases of beer for $64. He loves bargains more than buckets, even though the buckets are great. Look at Rat's love of buckets below.


With idle time between trailer loads of fruit we decided to name the Stoney Rise tanks after industry luminaries. Here are the look-alike tanks...

Ryno (Nick Ryan) - The tank is big, real big, bold n shiny, solid, a monster of a tank with a very loose and gushing valve...


Ricco (Ric Brockhurst) - with the frame of a sportsman, this tapered-at-the-waist-and-broad-at-the-shoulder sex machine keeps the good juice flowin...


The Old Grey Mare (David Matters) - its old, its grey, its has a nice sheen to it and is aging gracefully. Sure there is some rust around the edges, but its holding up well...


Mike Bennie - For a tank, it's weird shaped. It looks weird, acts weird and is kind of weird. Sometimes even smells weird...


Canty (Simon Cant) - short, squat, round, seedy and very fruity, the essence of the man, just add a wacky tshirt and it's pretty much him. Next to Canty is Sputnik, because it looks like Sputnik, right?


And of course Lou, AKA Mrs Holyman. Svelte, lithe, trim, taught, tint and terrific.




Here is the whole motley crew -
