Echo the other sentiments here, I know you were close to your pa Bill and it's affirming he had such a long and rich life. 

I'm still recovering from the loss of a client who has died at the age of just 60 (although she looked much younger), due to returning cancer.

Too late for that, had it done years ago! 

 

Pics soon...

Ugh, no thanks 

Fastrac 2135 and 3 tonne Marshal tipper visiting a local farm; JD 7530 Premium parked up.

Repairing a wall and digging out a bank/adding hardcore for a concrete base.

Morning spent strimming, mowing, cutting and digging for a client, then back home to attempt (unsuccessfully) to prise a tyre from its rim.

A Stanley Lithium 18v Hammer drill

Halfords tool chest and drawers

and a 1972 Massey Ferguson 135

Photos or it didn't happen!   

Hahhah braindead Bob wielding the chainsaw like a zombie!!

Pulled two back tyres off my trailer

Don't know what this guy going to do with that chainsaw???do you??

Bloody strong arm he's got, watch out! Great topic to follow and crisp photos as well.

2 Dewalt axle stands, 1.5 metre chisel/crowbar and some strimmer cord.

2wd 590 with a grass or chain harrow

Presumably you had all windows open and air con off Paul?

Thinking about applying for temporary work on a 240ac mixed farm, even though I've got garden maintenance work coming out of my ears which is also paying well.

White top 40-series Ford (looked like an 83) with a flat roll

Going to have a quite night in with my dio and then spend the rest of the night with Natalie and a bottle of red wine with pizza think we will watch the hobbit

Why will you be watching Tris Robert? 

Tarmac latte

Met a one-time boss who said he had 15 foot of land drain pipe spare from a job, just the amount I've been looking for.

Corgi JCB 4cx, pulled out of the earth while I was gardening.

Big Volvo tractor unit with a 40 foot low loader trying to turn in the tiny lane I was working along, miles off course. No sat nav to blame either!

bloody ebay, seems they areupdating the looks, ok fine, but also looks like they have updated the search parts, where as i used to be able to search for britains, then select the sub section "farm toys" same with universal hobbies, it now only allows the make, then its everything ,so with uh for instance, i used to be able to look at arround 900 odd farm toys ,now its 2300 odd of everything from cars to trucks etc ,same with britains, why cant they just leave it alone?

I hate that, as if it doesn't take long enough to pick through listings already!   Why Ebay seem so desperate to ruin a once easy to use auction site is beyond me. Customers and sellers will go elsewhere.

Bought this at a Car Boot sale on Wednesday morning;

 

 

and after a good clean

Lucky lucky sod 

Cutting down an old lilac tree then cutting it and other branches into logs, digging out a hebe with a mattock, ridging 9 rows of potatoes (again with a mattock), followed by a spot of de-stoning and weeding.... and then wishing I hadn't    

Breaking in the new brushcutter and cleaning and sharpening the chainsaw, ready for next week. Also pulling up a bit of thatch and scattering seed in the field below.

Ouch Robert!

I've been planting Desiree potatoes for a client. Would have been sitting on an old onion planter for a mate but potato lady called first.

Well after a lot and I mean alot of head scratching about a new job offer to go work with my local contactor I will have to turn it down as the money side of thing won as it just wont stack up as I would be going to work for alot less money so had to ring him and tell him I wont be going for the job :(

That's a shame Bob, it must have seemed pretty enticing until he mentioned the wage! If money wasn't an issue I would be pushing for employed farm work full-time if I could, but I can make more working for myself.
