    And a weather warning for snow again.

    What a dodgy lot we are. Condemning a house to a poor connection that will get damp, crackly and give terrible broadband just so we can hide our mistakes. Where's the honesty in our profession?

    I do this as a favour to neighbouring farmers. I process on site with my own tractor. They get one bulk bag in 10 of logs. That's roughly 2 bags per tree. The other 18 I take and sell and they still owe me a favour!

    After a few it's nuuuuuuun

    Keep a cadence and chance gear to keep it the same. I like Nuun in one bottle for the salts. Helps me on cramping.

    I've red, sika and roe on my ground. Saw a good 8 point buck yesterday in pretty poor shape. Think this years the right one to take him.

    Blimey suddenly a rushed weekend? I know weather saying cold snap but I didn't expect this. Better get wheels back on tractor!!

    What are you lot bleating on about?

    So the oils doing its job absorbing carbon rather than it being deposited in the engine? I've heard it argued all ways but agree manufacturers are not quick to admit errors either.
  10. ballibeg
    I'm wary of changing oil spec. Surely manufacturers have done the leg work before stating 5w30?
  11. ballibeg
    Nah. We're just fighting to make sure we can earn enough to give those that can't what we have.

    You're just getting started down there!

    Didn't ask that well did I! So there were symptoms caused by the injector that caused you to go in rather than running fine but with an injector like that. As a trafic driver I know the struggle getting them out can be...... Seems one of yours self lubricating!!!

    And I've 3 out tomorrow. We've night time frosts at moment though.
  15. ballibeg
    That's good work. In response to symptoms or purely preventative?

    Aye but the new rubber's soft so it'll slliiiiiiddddddeeee on easy....unlike the old rubber which was stuck on with rust! Just had to flick some Aldi white metal paint onto rims.

    Tractor TLC

    No worries PeakOakFrames, think we're in agreement.

    I'll always pull into a passing place or lay by to allow traffic to pass but I won't just stop roadside. Bikes will always be slower and if I was required to always stop and allow traffic to pass I'd never get anywhere! The code is a code and I'm not sure there is an offence for not following the code.
  20. ballibeg
    There's no law against that.
  21. ballibeg
    That's the free market fairy tale.

    Getting some paint on the old girl whilst I'm getting over broken collar bone. Thing is once you start.....

    In another thread some one stated they wouldn't do a job if payment terms over 30 days. These nurses and doctors spent years in training, earning nothing and spending lots before they earnt a penny. ♩ Now they maximise their earning potential. Why when we do it it is good business and when doctors and nurses do it it's wrong?

    This island must be close to me.

    We all understand the ways of the market place. How we price our log and services effects how busy we are and how much money we make. There's no market place in the NHS. It's a state monopoly and that means it's an imperfect system. How much would change if we all paid insurance. The smokers hammered on premiums, the skinny climbers' premiums reduced and the oldies bled dry. Not sure any of us could stomach that but I for one am grateful to the doctor that saw my kid at 3am when he was writhing in pain. I didn't have to think about the effect on my premium or decide to wait until working hours. Whatever the doctor was being paid that night she was worth it.
