How was your day?

[Vespasian]

Had a good day planned, beautiful weather, first outing with the new chipper, large leylandii at the bottom of a steep sloping garden. Use the tractor to drag or carry the stuff up the slope to the waiting chipper. Maybe 2 loads of chip one of logs, priced well, it would have been a great end to a good week financially.

Bang, starter motor on tranny gives up, no way round it, we towed it to the garage for replacement and repair, did some bits and bobs at the yard, then sent the lads home.

Sulked on the sofa for a bit unable to find the motivation to do anything positive.

Only one thing for it.....a drink.

 

would that be the newer tranny you just bought?...

[Mick Dempsey]

No the Ranger is the new vehicle.

 

The Transit is newish, 2008 AND 50000 miles ive had it a couple of years now, just one of those things.

 

The tipping trailer is not yet boarded out for chip.

Got back from holiday knowing my brakes were shot, limped it back to the garage mechanic tells me needs everything 😳

Ordered a bunch of parts and then told they are wrong by my mechanic, yay.

 

I just want my truck back.

Had a very enjoyable day winching trees over for TVI in the sunshine. No pics as too busy but plenty of tea and chocolate biscuits from the home owner.

 

And not a single fatality. This tree surgery lark is a doddle.

I would have happily sacrificed a couple of those Muntjac.

Oh I don't mind the money side of it so much Bob.

It's just we were really going to kick ass today, we're back Monday to do it, that'll cheer me up!

Things are getting better, Mick the stiralian welder has come back from his annual walkabout. May be able to get some projects finished before he goes off on one

Having a rare day off today 😀

 

Lie-in, played my drum kit, bit of ArbTalk, burrito's for lunch and off up to Manchester to visit friends later.

 

Bliss 😎

Diesel and Two Stroke only have eyes for your sandwich.

 

Today has been busy, pricing etc, saw the first swallow of the year, then got on with some prepping of the veggie patches.
