Thankfully the nappies are behind me now as the youngest is 2 1/2, hopefully the next nappies I see will be grandchildren and not me and the Mrs. Not quite got the arse wiping dialed, that's the 2 year old not me, but it's working progress. Think last night was the first uninterrupted nights sleep I have had for a month at least. Ready for a soggy day sorting a maccy that fell over.

Sounds intriguing

Kram, probably more lounge wear.

The older I get the less I give a hoot. If someone rings up and they are 30mins away I have got to be feeling extremely motivated to go and look at it! Seem to get enough in my village and the small local town to keep me happy. Quite a number of second home people round these parts. They get in contact for a quote but by god are they difficult to pin down. Seem to give you a very narrow window when you are obviously tied up elsewhere. One lady I have been batting emails back and forth for three weeks. Think that is going to kick it in the bin, shame as it is a local one but only so many hours on the day to deal with these cacti 🌵

If you need a demo of Morrisons, disruptive debut into arb, throwline bag then you'll have to wait, I am not braving the rain out to yard in my PJs even for the loyal followers.

My mother in law went mad one year making all sorts of wine, not sure why she hardly drinks at all! Made me some good slow gin in the past.

I have been using a Morrisons bag for life for the last 10 years, might be on my third bag now but they do the job. I fold the bag down and it goes in my climbing bag. I don't throw I just big shot everything. Yeah I know a cube should be better but the bag for life doesn't go manky looking and can easily be replaced. Probably not the sort of knowledge sharing people are wanting but you have got it now.

Hoping it works out and I will go for a larger amount next year. Made 300 bottles of apple juice this year. Will be able to sell it as organic as of January, well you pay your money to the organic people so that you can say you are organic. They come back to you and say "if you want to sell direct to the public you have to pay extra." FFS!

Well that would be the jackpot for sure!

Started off calm and dry. Rain as forecast, quite strong at times with persistent showers then some pretty heavy gusts. Had to drive home at 30 for fear of the van being blown over!

I have got some cider on the go at the moment, first time having a stab, currently in Demijohns will find out soon if it's drinkable or not. Maybe wait until erses family are round, pot luck if i end up smashed or on the bog.

All too down beat for my liking, layo and bushwacka love story whilst I'm climbing!

Les sorry to hear you are having a hard time. It's always easy on the outside looking in. Maybe dark days ahead but each day is a step in the right direction. I had some troubling times when we had the news of a 3rd sprog in the oven. I was more than happy with 2 she didn't want to get rid of or couldn't, sorry language a bit coarse, so I was stuck. A life impacting situation that I had no say over. The other two were off at school, Mrs was back doing what she enjoyed and we were about to go back to the beginning. All I could see were negatives, and each day was dark and heavy. Nobody was in my situation and no amount of talking could change the facts so I just had to take it. Obviously that has been and gone, probably would be easier without a third but stuck with him now. He likes machinery and the like and can be good fun. Enjoys being out on the farm. Three boys, their energy is sky rocketing while mine seems to be plummeting. Some people find ploughing on with work helps others that's not the case. Good health to ya brutha

I did use a tr6p last year, felt very top heavy, tracked well and chipped amazingly well. The timberpup 150tr I have seems fairly well low in comparison and at least gives the illusion of a lower centre of gravity.

Yes that is definitely a pro for being slow at tracking but trying to cover any distance is darn annoying. Very easy to find yourself in a spot of bother when tracking about.

You don't need to tell me. I pulled out a load of fences on my farm. Tracking over the field on way, then tracking back, that was beyond tedious and took days

I suspect I know the answer to this. But does a tw190 track any quicker than a 150? I suspect not. I have a 150 with a winch and it does everything I need but by god does it track slow. Living where I do and some of the work I get it can be a bit of a trek in. At slower than walking speed this 150 can sure make a meal out of it. Hoping to move on to a 230 or a st6. Used a 230 and forst, obviously a massive leap forward in terms of chipping capabilities as well as tracking speed.

I have got three, now just a teaser. 😘

Not that I have a 230 but thanks for coming back and reporting your fix as often these things are left open with no resolution so no help for future owner/ operators

Twins😬

It got me in the end, drive home on Monday was a struggle, streaming eyes, heater on flat out but still cold. Home and straight to bed. In bed till lunch yesterday.. Then had a bluey marathon with my two year old while mum was off doing farm work. Improved today, should be able to get some work done. Well done Steve, it's hard work for the dad as well. I remember I made a sandwich when the first one was being born and I didn't get a chance to eat it as I was having my hands crushed. By time it was all over the sandwich was stale and went to the dogs!

Not feeling it this morning, I have had a week of three kids being ill waking my wife and I, last night woken 5 times. Starting to feel ill myself now. Yearning for a nights uninterrupted sleep 🫩 Whizzing it down outside and subbing in to a friend, hopefully an easy day🤞🏻

I have been using the art one with the cocoon pulley, it's the muts and has been for all the years I have been using it. I can only recall it getting stuck twice in the last ten years. I think it is the design of it. Only trouble is it is an expensive piece of equipment to be smashing to tarmac from 50ft upon retrieval, I should lower it down but never have. Due to be replaced. I do use srt a bit, particularly for access. When I came to the art pulley saver I could not believe the difference in friction between that and a regular ring to ring one I had been using previously!

I have had the sip keiu rain jacket for the last couple of years ( maybe 3 years), been pretty decent recently replaced it with the same again.

Yeah I use radmoors a fair bit. But still too far to drive. Always happy with the service provided and would recommend. Latest battery husky hedge trimmer was delivered next day from them. Honey ordered Friday arrived the following Friday with delivery charged at £9.99. Is what it is I suppose, nobody died I got my goods but I do feel like the delivery charge is a bit steep for the timescale.
