the 'todays job' thread

A pleasant morning doing some very tight ash extraction. 
 

would have been a lot easier, cheaper, neater and more efficient if they’d just had me and the three tonner fell and extract the trees rather than task a gang of tree surgeons with a forestry operation but it’s by the hour so who cares.

See, I can quote right. I just don’t.

Twelve hours of 500i and 661, twelve litres of mix, picking it from the stack with a telehandler. Spot the dog. Also spot the kid who turned up with his dad as I was finishing. Gave him some mix with a bit of chain oil in to get his campfire going. Gave instructions to not lose his eyebrows. According to his dad when I got back from putting the telehandler away, he still did nearly set himself on fire.
 

No. I’m not a parent. Yes, people occasionally entrust me with their children. Yes, I let them drive the skidsteer and shoot guns. No, I don’t get a lot of repeat business.

I first learnt to drive on site with my dad supervising us - he was on site... somewhere - aged about 12. Nothing wrong with that.

I was young when I started driving ( the beauty of farm living ) and I wouldn't be surprised if my son was even younger. His Mum used to let him drive our car to the school bus on a morning! 😀

Keeping the other thread clean. 
Some stuff on my waste wood chipping.  
Reckons on 6 lorry loads. 
At my estimate, that’s 540 cubic metres, 300 kg per cube, so 162 tonnes at €20 per tonne.

Allez, allez!
