I'll try that, be more like a pottering kind of a day.

Morning all. Busman's holiday today, off to the paddock splitting logs with my mate. Find the slow pace of his little electric splitter mundane but the promise of a breakfast en route is motivating me. Have a good one folks.

No actually! Reading the op I thought this is all very familiar, this guy's in the same boat as Rory, oh wait a minute... In my defence I try not to do thinking at the weekend.

Rory I've just realised this is you mate! In my opinion keep going as you are just now. You're looked after at work and learning the job from good people, it gives you the chance to build your skills/experience and a network of people to work with. From what I've seen this last week on site you've got a lot going for you, things that matter to others like good timekeeping, positive attitude, good work ethic. People value these things. And it was good to hear how you value yourself when we talked about pricing. All the best with it, hope you enjoy yourself tomorrow and the new saw is ok!

A couple of times before I've accumulated a number of larger stump grinding jobs together (in the Borders) and hired a decent tracked grinder for a week from Kipper Hire who are up towards Kinross.

I've spoken to management Master Ted. It has been agreed you're excused yesterday's absence on account of your previous exemplary record of attendance and it being the day of our lord. Hope you're well.

Morning all. Out for breakfast this morning with a mate, just chores this afternoon. We had a good one yesterday, great picnic and a few showers but mostly sun. Poppes found a decent shelter when required and young Winnie is starting to find her legs on the paddleboard! Have a good one folks.

Hedge / tree removal after nesting season.
Doug Tait replied to flanagaj's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
There are a few unpleasant tasks in tree work but I think the worst thing you can hear is chip customer's existing brash pile. I've never once liked doing it. -
You'd be sorely disappointed Les!
