    Forgot to log on this morning, greetings all. I am up and off early tomorrow for my Dupuytren's hand surgery. Will start a thread on this, as this is a common hand problem in our line of work.

    Sums it up in my view. For 20 years I have split my own logs, let them air dry in an open barn, then move a couple of cubes at a time into the attached garage. never had logs go mouldy. I burn about 30 cu metres a year between our stoves and the biomass boiler.

    Mirror mirror on the wall, I am the latest of us all (so far today). About to go and collect my new Hilux, so nice day for me. Ordered in March, paid Toyota in full 2 months ago, and it was "held up in the PDI queue". Got there at last. Have a good day all.

    Morning all, Another dry day ahead. Doing one of our annual garden jobs - keeping small trees small and shrubs even smaller. Have fun and stay safe all.

    Morning all, Dry and crisp here, so can crack on. Dismantling a couple of large conifers today. Will be cold while waiting for groundie to clear what I have just dropped🥶

    Morning all, Good forecast for the week here. Cold and dry today, no frost. Taking the MEWP to dismantle a tall spindly dead elm on last day of a parish council job. No point taking chipper as it will all shatter when it hits the deck.

    I have run a 146hp 3.5 ton Daily from new since 2015. It happily pulls a 1.2 ton road tow chipper or a 1.3 ton tracked chipper on a half ton trailer, with a box full of chip. Plenty of power, only weak spot is first gear is a bit too high for hill starts with a big load, but I always manage to pull away somehow. Excellent turning circle. Been reliable, and the channel section chassis is must less prone to rusting than a thin walled box section one. I would replace with the same again, or more likely the Daily option over 3.5t.

    So we're having an age contest eh? More grown up than willie measuring. Pah, I'm 64, and I specialise in telling the type of idiots we are talking about to go forth and multiply. Trouble is there are then more idiots in the world. We just can't win.

    Morning all, Dry here😀. Think I'll spend the morning moving logs for my boiler from one bay of the barn to the next. So the oldest/best seasoned logs are at the front of the pile not the back. With the tractor, not by hand that is.

    Morning all, Weather OK here, other than grey. Got to sort new battery for van today. It did the decent thing after nine yers, at the end of work yesterday. It went flat while facing downhill on a long slope! Can't really complain about that.

    Morning all, Not raining here😀. Hopefully get some work done.

    Morning all, Persistently precipitating here. Glad there are chains on the bench needing sharpening. Might be able to get out later, but who knows.
  17. maybelateron
    Better still decline the job😀

    Morning, Wet again here. My sister excepts flooding in the house again, near Nottingham. Glad we got some work done yesterday, not going out today, except into the sheds to to a bit of spannering.

    I once had to dismantle a Berberis on steroids (the Berberis, not me). This was as vicious as Pyracantha. It managed to get my arms through a chainsaw protective jacket several times.
  20. maybelateron
    Pyracantha?

    Morning and happy new year all. Good weather today, so will carry on with a local parish council job where we can come and go as we please.

    Another late Good Morning from me, My neighbour and I split then sawbenched a good amount of timber this morning to share for our domestic needs. Felt good.

    Morning all, Going to try and get a small hedge cutting job done near home before the next belt of rain moves in.

    Very belated morning all, Hopefully some return to normality looming. After 34 years of hosting Christmas for 3 generations, my wife is beginning to feel perhaps we have done our bit. Hallelujah.
