  1. Morning all, Brilliant one from Stubby, happy hols to Pete. Pottering here, working bank holiday.
  2. Morning all, Jobs at home for me today. Weekend will soon be here. Sorry to hear of family woes Pete.
  3. Morning all, First stop is to buy some more sun cream. Then minor conifer and hedge trim before it gets to full heat. Stay hydrated all.
  4. I have a 12ft Ifor tipper with high sides. I used to tow it with a remapped Td5 Disco 2. If the trailer was pretty full it would like to try and snake above 45-50mph, and that was with good nose weight. On a weighbridge with it full to the top with chip fresh from felling (can't remember if it was conifer or deciduous) it weighed in at 2990kg. Go 12ft every time I say.
  5. Or in PeteB’s case sunk ream.
  6. Morning all, Don’t forget the suncream.
  7. Morning all, More odds and sods today. Log processing in the barn once it gets hot.
  8. Morning all, Odds and sods day today. Wonderful weather again.
  9. Simpler method is park facing up hill, drop the tailboard and then drive forwards suddenly. They say necessity is the mother of invention.
  10. I did similar a few days ago to stop the trolley jack rolling around the load bed. Note the lazy man's tool for pulling it out. Unfortunately I didn't have yew or walnut to make the box with, hence use of plywood offcuts.
  11. Morning all, Yet more blue sky. A restful day today. Brought back some nice firewood yesterday. Enjoy the day.
  12. Morning all, Off to Nottingham to section down three nice sycamore stems and bring back some good firewood for the stoves. Have a good weekend.
  13. Morning all, Another sunny day. Day off today, working tomorrow.
  14. Morning all, Dry day here, but processing logs mainly. None of the jobs booked in at present are for right now. Less requests for quotes at present, any one found this?
  15. In the winter of 78/79 when I was living with parents for my first two years at university we had a prolonged cold spell, and snow hung around. I used my mother's 848cc Renault 6 to drive the 10 miles from home. For several days the battery was too tired to start it after a day outside. No problem - starting handle through hole in bumper, choke applied, crank it over, started first attempt every time. No ECU to worry about either😀
  16. Morning all, Rain overnight, gone, now, should be dry today. Annual trim on a couple of very large conifer bushes using mewp.
  17. Morning all, Away until tomorrow then just two days to work in the week, then a full day Saturday.
  18. Morning all, Not working till Wednesday. Hope I don’t seize up due to lack of use.
  19. Morning all, Another blue sky today. Wife gone to a 10k run, I’ll have brunch ready when she gets back.
  20. Morning all, Lazy day with family. Have a good weekend.
  21. Morning all, Bit of work in the garden first, then daughter and son in law here for a couple of days. Have a good Easter.
  22. Morning all, Rain gone, sun back. Telescopic pruning an overhanging willow today, due to lack off access on owners side. House boarded up, but not going to take liberties.
  23. Morning all, Rain here. Day pottering in shed.
  24. Morning all, Rain overnight here too. Overcast but dry hopefully. Finishing off yesterday’s lime lopping.
