Bit of a head this morning, the result of going t'pub and wine after! Bonus daughter doing roast pork dinner later and she does right good tates! Tip run with garden waste in a bit. Enjoy your day!
-
Morning All! Think the Skoda is sold and to a tree bloke that I've known for upwards of 15 years too! Get that sorted and do a few garden jobs in between the rain showers. Enjoy the weekend! Diner, Soars.

There is an agency which notifies everyone of a death, which can save a lot of time and grief, but occasionally, it has a negative effect. It transpire that as he is dead, they take his details off the ownership but do not automatically add his widow in case he has left it to someone else. Therefore it has no owner, but they list it as 'sold'. Sorted with a phone call though. But it gave time for the twat who shook on it to swerve!

I'm up as she is up! She only had a couple of hours then she has gym thing! Dedication! Some more job type jobs for me and I'll take her t'pub later! Tosser who shook hands on her Dad's car did a swerve which gets right up my nose, his number is blocked and it is advertised again..... Duly, Hand, Ruse.

That DSG gearbox is the dogs dangle things and at 140bhb, it gets on the way!

After getting the run about and swerve from a fu#*wit trader, the father in laws car is up for grabs. Low mileage and good history, good interior blah blah blah. Slight scrape on passenger side but otherwise mighty fine! 70k miles with recent cam belt, water pump and AC pump. Suitable as Arb runabout, climbers truck or family motor. Comes with invoices and two keys, viewable in the Retford area. £6,000.

More job hunting stuff this morning. Sold FIL's car at the weekend and they coming to collect it this aft. Caused some grief as the buyer sent the money over then went electronically change ownership etc, except the DVLA site said that the vehicle was already sold! Since he died and they were automatically informed, they deleted his name off the V5and were awaiting the widow to register it under her name! Couple of calls to the delay on monday and an affidavit later, sorted! Be good y'all today! Course, Sticks, Odour

Few emails to sort out and try to jazz up a CV to send to a few folk. Groundsfest was good, meeting folk was good, outdoor, loads of working machinery and lots of people about. Not too much arb gear but still, Forst, TP, GM and TW there amongst others. FSI and Predator there too. Got to wake neighbours up in a mo with toy car going for MOT, hope he is a tad sympathetic and over looks a few things! Wee, Arthur, Whirled.
-
Awake too early to be fair, don't know why! Off to Groundsfest with a bunch of cards and also visiting a couple of businesses on the way. CV writing is a tad banal when you've done the same thing for 27 years! Then the printer decided to play up so not very well armed tbh! Dud, Lea, More.
-
Morning Team! CV writing and hospital appointment for me. Time to get gritty and determined about getting a job! Drive safely drivers and work safe the rest of you! Yew, Roast, Are.

Anyone use pick up trucks for small/medium tree and hedge jobs?
PeteB replied to Lou Brown's topic in Arb-Trucks
Do you think single cabs will make a return appearance now that BIK values have changed or is this for another thread? -
Awake too early and caused a stir in the night sleep walking. Knocked over her cosmetics table which went with an all mighty crash and skittle everything everywhere! 3rd time in recent weeks I've slept walked too! Enjoy your Sunday, got a chap coming to view her dad's car, hopefully he is a genuine buyer as I'm hacked off with chancers and buffoons who think I'll sell it to them for buttons! Never, tea, tee.

Buoy, Earn, Mew, Nick! Sorry, in my rush to get horizontal in the sun, I didn't really look hard at the crossword!
-
Couple of hours horizontal in the sun, then a rush across Crete to Chania airport! Epic drive up the mountains and done it so often, we don't need sat nav! Back in Retford for evening so might get a couple of beers in the Brewshed! Tom is trying to get the live feed ofvwhat he is up to in America sorted so may get a watch of it. Pike's Peak was mentioned at some point! Enjoy your Saturday all, Buoy, Earn, Mew.

Was going to say, my old fleet was 'any driver, any age plus sdp'. Cost a chunk as things go but was so much easier to not think who was going where and what in! Mark's comment about reading the signs is so true. My Land-rover was half the price of the tippers as they could go on an ag/forestry classification, but the AstraVan was right dear even though it was doing no real work,

Too young and poor to retire! Did think of suffering from anxiety, claiming Tom has issues (just flown to Denver for 4 days!) Then claiming as much benefits as I can! That could amount to a good salary, but not my way...... Got a couple of things bubbling on, will start to look in earnest next week. Just getting some cards made while sat in Crete! Not enough WiFi by the look of it though! Would prefer to stay in the Arb sector but, depends on what is out there and the rewards/role! Got to admit that my head was in a spin for a couple of weeks and will miss those who I met and worked with along the way, but good friends will still be there. A few of us suggested a lads weekend away to drink beer, watch rugby and eat curry which sounds good! Thanks for asking Les.

Morning Team. Rinse and repeat for me. Windy, awake too early and read the papers already! Be safe out there! Ferry, Tails.
-
Very windy here today! Most likely to stay in front of apartments under the trees for the shade! If it that bad and like being sand blasted, will jump in the car and drive into the distance where it will blow in a different direction! Be good all of you! Peat, Saddo.

I would have said that it depends on the "waste". Ex FIL got trailer loads from one mill and it was off cuts and bark etc which was stored outside so was very wet. He didn't get the argument that he should have been paid to take that crap away! I got a bench to go on his old Fergie, got the thing working and collected long lengths from Belvoir sawmill and spent a while slicing these off, good exercise and I could put crap into a barrow and put it on the burn heap rather than log shed. It was too much effort for him and I wasn't there that much so we went back to the crap logs! The stuff was sold as "sawmill waste", not as "firewood" as this has to be below a certain moisture content to be sold!
