Good Morning

 

Overnight rain, the best sort. 

 

Hope your lad gets sorted out quickly Stubby.  Glad he walked away unscathed.

 

Have a good one.

Morning All, hope Jack's settlement is good! Tom got side swiped on the way back from Goodwood. Asian family in a small car ran across the chevrons on an exit and into his car, didn't want to stop, then stopped a mile away and blamed him for running into him, refused to co operate then left without leaving many details. I reckon the race card will come out and the husband/wife will lie and win!

 

Steal, Ice, Ban.

Dash cam ?

Sadly, no. No witness stopped. Police did call by just as he had gone but didn't want to looking good for him and suggested that the insurers would deal with it.  Ut once he has got the details, they may interview the driver for leaving the scene.....

 

Car is not worth much and he just spent £1500 replacing engine and gearbox!

Morning all,

 

Some rain overnight. Woodchip delivery then flail mowing. Looks like another warm dry week ahead.

Morning, sorry to hear about the car troubles!

stunning day here, my main man Big Dave has done his ankle in so I’m going to be chief tree smasher today!  Going to be a warm 1! 
 But first, breakfast!

Update on the car thing. Tom's insurer reckon that the claim will go nowhere and they aren't likely to settle. Apparently 'your word agin theirs' means that nowt will happen! Unless there is a camera available and, apparently, Highways don't like revealing camera footage, it will be a case of the Asian chap saying that Tom drove into him and his wife will confirm!

 

I just told Tom to leave the battle scars there and get the suspension/wheel checked and suck it up....

We have just been through that and the other party hired no win no fee solicitors, after the horse had bolted I fitted a cheap nextbase camera to her written-off-bought-back car. The claim against her failed because the opposite side didn't pay the court fee.

Might be a shorts day! Be comfortable in your work!

 

Wee,  Gen, Spark.

Good Morning

 

Not sure if we had a bit more overnight rain or not. Pretty moist out there. 

 

Have a good one.

Morning all,

 

No shorts for me today. Probably got to use 880 with 48 inch bar of all things. Taking down a very leaning ash growing out of the side of a gulley. Trunk starts nearly horizontal then curves up. Can only reach the horizontal bit and only from one side. Ratchet straps round trunk just above cut level and tirfor winch to stop it coming sideways at me. And plenty of fluids!
