Crap day

[Hodge]

Went to do a job, chipper had been kept in barn, fuel filter was frozen, changed filter, chipper ok, did cony job, took flipping ages to clean up in the snow,went to do firewood as I have 12 loads to get out, frigging tractor was frozen, changed all filters and still frozen, went to pub and had five red stripes, steak pie, Stella, emerdale! Day ended ok.

[Kev Stephenson]

Was it Emmerdale that tipped you over the edge?

We had to do the same with the TW this morning - by the time I got there it had already had one flask over it, then both of mine too.

Hows this ,Went to unlock yard gate this morning and lock was frozen solid ,so went to unlock store to get kettle lock also frozen . Ended up throwing the coffee i bought with me over it then the chipper refused to start because it had been sitting for 3 days . Just another monday i suppose .

my day started bad too, landy wouldn't start as i'd left the alternator wire connected all weekend, tried the chipper battery on it but it wasn't man enough so started it using the disco battery, then the dumper wouldn't start so after pouring boiling water on various padlocks i got the shed open and enough wires to use the womans hairdryer down the air intake to get it started, all set just intime to hit rush hour traffic.. finally got to the yard over an hour late to be met by a lovely cup of scalding tea, thanks nick:thumbup:

Hi Hodge ! Every day that I ve walked out the door for the last couple of weeks to do a tree job has been like that, you end up going throu the motions and emotions and it becomes funny as its just impossible to guess what it will be next
