  1. 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.
  2. 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🥶
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Morning all, Frosty and dry, some blue sky. Yippee. Good forecast for the week ahead.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Morning all, Not raining here😀. Hopefully get some work done.
  10. Morning all, Persistently precipitating here. Glad there are chains on the bench needing sharpening. Might be able to get out later, but who knows.
  11. Better still decline the job😀
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Pyracantha?
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Morning all, A dry day here! Going to take down a wind damaged hung up conifer this morning, should blow away the cobwebs a bit😃
  18. Morning all, Going to try and get a small hedge cutting job done near home before the next belt of rain moves in.
  19. 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.
  20. You could do worse than black waxoyl. But this could make any future welding repairs a bit more fiery.
  21. I thought it was yesterday too, but then I heard something on the radio about it being at around 3am this morning. I didn't quite understand that, as I thought the solstice was a day, not a time.
  22. Very belated good morning, Been chilling with family, and at long long last my new Hilux has finally arrived at the dealer. Once beacons fitted it will be a nice late Christmas present to myself😀. Have fun, one and all.
  23. Morning all, Very windy here. One of my regulars contacted me with two fallen trees. She is happy to wait till Saturday or after Boxing day for me to sort it.
  24. Morning all, Enjoy the day.
