Nicest bit is that 30Kw diesel heater.

And the beer fridge.

How much do you love the people who sold you that heater right now?

At about 2pm more than life itself.

Couple of leylandii and laurels

 

 

Reasonable size garden, big pile of old rotting cuttings at the back. Didnt like my price for removing it, he will burn them and the fresh cuttings.

 

One customer had a saggy gate on the driveway. 3d printed this wheel, works nicely, stops it dragging.

 

Also adjusted the 2511 clone. I know it was running rich and bogging down, so a slight turn of the high jet until the revs picked up a bit, much nicer to use.

None of us are much used to working in such miserable conditions.

I found myself cupping my hands over the chipper exhaust, bracing the mono-oxide and particulates for a moment of relief from the stabbing pain in my cold fingers.

Same here - sat in the truck with the engine running and the heating on.

Battery heated gloves are helping but with all the meds since my heart problems my circulation seems to be worse than ever. Glad the younger lads are stepping up and taking more responsibility 👍

Not just heart meds do that.  My migraine meds (triptans) shut down peripheral capillaries - great for the brain tissue but hell for hands and feet. Looks like they've died when exposed to cold winds, rain , frost or sea water. I look horrific after stepping out from 15mins in the Mediterranean!

I feel your pain! I missed two years of skiing until I got heated gloves and was put on Coracten tablets to ease Reynaulds. Felt like my fingers had been hit with a hammer even with very expensive skiing gloves on. 
I’m not sure which meds do what yet but am on blood thinners, statins, beta blockers and a few others. Hoping that next week’s MRI and a follow up in a couple of weeks will give some idea of what can be done. Already fed up of not being able to do my share on each job
