What a start to the year!

Sooo here goes on Stephen Blairs request!

 

Storm frank found me with a 6 am phone call to say come and get the stuff out of your yard its filling with water! So I managed to get the tractor and processor disconnected from the log deck and got it out the yard. I couldn't get the digger out the yard it was too deep at the gate so I had to get it on to the trailer whist it wasn't connected under water and in the dark with no ramps. I had no choice but leave it! The picture shown shows the water at its peak you can make the digger out sitting on the trailer and my friend Normans county in the distance. You shouldn't see the county as there should be an artic load of firewood sitting there but it decide to make like a tree and leave! Not to be seen again!

Had a lot of firewood cut and split which either off down the river or was left wet and covered in silt.

The water was 1 foot approx inside the digger cab and it was 1.5 meters deep at the highest pint of land in the yard!
