Proper snow. None of that slushy wet crap we usually get! Beagle was very unsure about it at first, but he embraced it after a few minutes. A great mid morning ramble was had by all.

Scary stuff. What a detachment from reality. no idea who the guy is apart from what's said in the interview. anyone care to give me some more context?

First touch of frost here. Fog is starting to lift now. Beagle had to be carried out for his morning business. Total refusal to get his paws cold. A day of maintenance, pricing, one small hedge trimming job and moving kit to ease myself into the week.

I've about an artic load of the stuff to come out before the end of the year. Wasn't looking forward to it coming back to the yard, it's full of wire, sorry I mean character. Please keep this rumour going so I can send it over the pond and retire a wealthy man.

Or a new wife.

Down the pub one night the talk was what would you do if you won the lottery. An ould buck at the bar chimed in and said "I'd keep farming til it was all gone"

Tricky job, maybe set a laser level along the line you need the ladder to be on and when you get close to the end of the cut, pull the saw out and advance the ladder, using the laser line and some wedges or whatever to get the ladder lined up again? Then push the saw back through the cut til it comes to the ladder and repeat Never tried it, probably way more of a ballache than it sounds.

Ouch. I would seriously consider a new tipping kit at that money. Or even looking elsewhere for a motor. Then again there's downtime to consider, just sounds expensive to me. Mick has a point, you'll forget the cost in a few weeks either way and its back earning. The path of least resistance is rarely the cheapest way. I'd think the scrappies would pull out the motors for the copper. Personally I gave up buying secondhand parts when I sold the mog!

Pure guesswork here as im not familiar with them but Is there a breather on the tank to allow air in as it empties? gurgling sounds like there could be a vaccuum in the tank. Could it be "pulling" on the lift pump if it's blocked with dust and chip, making it appear as though the pump is weak. Could it be dirt on the lift pump gauze? Partially blocked fuel line? probably worth giving the lines a blast with the compressor, back towards the tank, so not to push dirt towards the injector pump. Probably nothing in the above you havent considered already. @s o c has one, he may be able shed some light on the issue.

Fuuuuuuck. Morning just got worse.

Yeah, not so sure about that one. If you've got a solid pensionable job maybe. if you're running a business it's not so easy. If I hadn't taken out a few modest loans over the years I'd still be a man with a saw in the back of a jeep, running around subbing, getting abused by forestry companies and larger contractors. Now I have two saws.

Yesterday's demo went well. Now back to reality. 100 meters of conifer hedge to be reduced by a meter. Ugh.

Good morning all, been lurking on this page far too long! About time I made an appearance i guess. off on a cross country spin this morning to demo my little Neomach loader. Getting to like this kind of work. It's a lot easier than reducing hedges, which is tomorrow's job! 10 degrees 99%humidity Zero wind Gonna be a foggy start.

The way forward you say? Hear me out. I think they have their place, example being as a "pay as you go" city car that can be charged or partially discharged in multiple places, essentially, you create a hive of batteries that can help level out the grid, store and release energy, distribute people and goods and act as temporary personal power sources. This can obviously only work in a newly designed and purpose built, self sustaining city, no amount of retrofitting will shoehorn such an idea into fully functional existence In any existing population centre. It would be environmentally disastrous to even try. Something like a massive war would help erase these pesky, historic places and the people who wish to remain in them. wars seem to be carbon tax exempt too, as well as not requiring an environmental impact survey, so no worries there. Then the path is paved for a full, new, shiny smart city. One with a big ****************ing fence around it. then, and only then will the rise of the electric vehicle truly be able to complete itself (they'll be full ai by then and we will work for them) So yeah, if you drive a battery car you support genocide and slavery.

You're right, how foolish of me. Now i see the solution. tax those kids in those lithium mines. They're the real culprits.
