One more question Steve, what's an SEO expert?
-
It is a bit wordy, and why are the phone numbers 5555555555 or 9999999999?

I did think moving chicken huts is a bit beneath her, but it's great she's still doing work at her age.
-
Tarps here too, roll the tarp up when finished like a sausage roll, makes for a quicker tidy up

@roboted @HuntingHicap I have some connections with the farm that Wendy currently resides on and have made enquiries. She's a 1955 AEC Militant, six-wheel drive former military with a 40 tonne winch. Some more of her recovering a combine here... PICTURE STORY: Military winch makes light work of combine recovery - Farmers Weekly WWW.FWI.CO.UK When a combine gets this stuck, how are you going to get it out...

I have no idea, but I'd think some members here will know. I didn't get to ask many questions and only just persuaded them about taking a pic. If anyone knows anything about Wendy though, do tell.

Dropped a winch off at the engineers today and met a very special lady, the understated yet strong and capable type. She works mainly moving chicken sheds around but has a sideline in tractor/combine harvester recovery. I wasn't meant to be in the workshop really so I stole a quick couple of pics and said au revoir. Meet Wendy And a lovely backside!

Does moisturising help?

On the news they said the neighbour had enough of the bird noise from the tree.
-
A nice little job it was. 50% reduction, short drag to the chipper, just half hour work on the way home. That'll show those pesky birds for sitting in it singing!

Thanks for that eggs, your Aries has served me well

There's been a theme of hanging up the long distance walking boots recently. Working near the Border Hotel at the Scots end of the Pennine Way. Had lunch (not a pub lunch, was sat in my 'staff room' known as the farmi chipper hopper) opposite this old plough where folk hang their boots after completing the final leg Then at a different job the owner had been a big walker. The driveway was lined each side with walking boots planted with sedum, and a nice chainsaw sculpture present from his kids

I'll need to check my birth certificate now, always thought I was Sagittarius but it seems not...
-
The few bigger guys I've seen climb seem to manage, not so light at branch tips but have a better time using bigger saws on spikes. I think technique has more influence than weight, and big impressive muscles gained in the gym look the part but may be more of a hinderance.
-
Cheers Gary, if that does the trick I might just make it back in the good books!

Bin there, done that: Scotland fans clean up litter in central London | Scotland | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Kilt-wearing fans helped tidy up Leicester Square, where many... The Tartan army doing more litter picking than trouble making, their parents will be proud.

I've got one foot on the naughty step today. Had the dogs through a wood and then hunting at a wood pile. As you can see much fun was had, but Wee Poppes got muddy and worse still, her paws are caked in sap. Anyone have a suggestion for removing sap? I vaguely remember reading here somewhere that mayonnaise works, or was it butter, or tomato sauce, or maybe it was red wine...
-
And I'm not surprised at all that you did it with a chainsaw, that's exactly how it looks!
-
Didn't mean to dis your baby mower shed Tippin, looks good. Just wondering though, could you not have pushed the handle down an inch to fit it in?
-
For some reason the check taken out of the frame to allow the mower handle to actually fit in really amuses me, laughing enough now the dog's giving me strange looks
-
Thanks for that organic guy.
-
Good result for you
-
Grand Fir that had slipped into the River Tweed we had to remove. You know it's going to be an interesting day when the kit you take includes chainsaw protective waders and life jackets.
-
It is. From where I live we used to occasionally see flashes of light on the horizon, I believe from the tanks firing. Haven't seen that for a long time

These things happen David, don't stress about it
