the 'todays job' thread

[peds]

It's a shame we can't use these for every job. Be finished in no time.

 

 

About a dozen knocked over or grabbed and posted between the hedge and the power cables on the right. No chipping, no chopping, cup of tea and scone from yer wan indoors, back to the yard early for doing a bit of firewood.

What a joy today has been....

 

2 site visits this morning then a quick restorative prune on a neglected apple for an hour after lunch.

 

Big old Bramley where the excess fruit has been left on the ground to camouflage the dog logs....

 

A bit like the facial expression you see in a war movie when someone steps on an anti-personnel mine - I daren't look down but I KNOW that felt different to a Bramley. ?

When you could use a throw bomb but you have a line launcher and an opportunity to not waste playing with it.

Just getting a hauling system ready for tomorrow.

How do you get in with those foam ‘bullets’?  I found they drifted way too much and always used the metal one

How do you get in with those foam ‘bullets’?  I found they drifted way too much and always used the metal one 

Tried it once to set a line in the tree, never again as it was too light to come down and as you said drifted wherever it liked.

Craig johnson had on at arb camp and he was using the fishing reel and a heavier dud.

The only times I use it if I'm setting a line across a bit of water of which a floating dud helps a bit. But I dont use it a lot.

Big old cavity in the base of this one,  rushing to get most of it down before the orange weather warning hits tomorrow. Tips and tops done, just the stem left.

Big willow to cut up today.

Big old unit!  Taking it for firewood?  Is it any good?  Did a medium one last week, was going to leave the wood in the hedge but my mate is keen to haul it out.  Not sure if it's worth the effort.

Was all going along nicely today until we got the tele-handler in up to it's balls!
