A guy near me has a matador laid up in a shed, the cab has had it, new ones are available but think a lottery win would be required, he said he was going to do it up when he retires. He is out every day of the week in his valtra hauling timber and delivering logs, I do not think he is going to retire. Need to put in some ground work see if i can get it. Looks mega, well if it was running and working.

Spoke too soon. We've had a light dusting of sleet. Hope it buggers off.

And may the cafe be open Doug

Cheers Buddy. Been saving these next 2 jobs for a few weeks. One is Reigate 15 mins away Bigger one is Redhill 25 mins. All via the back lanes I know very well. Barring an Historic snowfall, I'm in easy street for the next couple of weeks. You take care and enjoy your break. Thanks

Guten Morgen, more hedge laying today, probably the most pleasant hedge I have encountered so far at this farm. Last year's effort was roadside with three fences within it, spent more time on the wire snips!

Morning all, Taking our eldest to Manchester airport then home for breakfast. Our other two leave later this morning, so then then it's just two old goats (me an er) left. Lovely to see them all, now roll on Monday. Spot the grumpy old man syndrome.

May the traffic be light Bob!

Morning all. The festive malaise seems to have lifted here. Slept better, woke early, just feeling better in general, nice. Helping a mate cut firewood today, he's acquired some larger diameter softwood to add to the seasoning stacks so bigger saw required. I'll expect to be taken to the cafe first if it's open. Have a good one folks.

seasonal joke 🙄😎

Thanks kindly eggs hope you are doing ok 🤞

Sounds about right.

I used to work in the IP Telecoms industry. My first job in 97 was for an ISP, one of the first business ISP’s in the UK. There was a real tech nerd vibe about the place and on the tech support website there was a full page banner saying “Before you give us a hoot, please shut down and reboot” it solved probably 3 out of 4 of the problems..

Had a Matador back in the day. That was a good truck! Also had a couple of Bedford MK 4X4 trucks too! Left one at a mates yard when I finished and went to GreenMech. It was still visible on Google Earth 20 years later!

I spoke to a guy with a Kraz 255 truck at a military show one time long ago, it was a feckin' enormous thing literally built to withstand just about any conditions you could throw at it, I asked him,"what about servicing and parts availability" "easy" he said, "once a year we change all the fluids,, then we drink a bottle of vodka, crawl underneath and hit everything with a big hammer,,, if nothing falls off, we're good to go for another year"

Reading your post has made me depressed.

"Pretty tight" considerable understatement. I remember when the gearbox blew on Hammersmith roundabout blocking two lanes day before a bank holiday. We had lost second gear weeks before but fatty insisted it was just a worn selector fork
