just gonna leave this here.... http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,30933.msg645588.html#msg645588

did some work on a car where there were no mid job complications. easy money this evening. tomorrow is going to be awful though...

got a HouseHam air ride 4000 self propelled sprayer in our fields at the moment...

cheers marky, let me know if you ever need some timber...

thanks Sue, in 12months (post graduation) it might be more than a summer job! failing that these 4 months are going to improve my C.V. no end..

finished 2 days of induction at work with an interview about my "future ambition" with the big boss man. nailed it. starting full time monday 7am.

vw/audi diesels have a reputation for turbo oil seals going and then they consume all of the oil.... a bit late now but after a long run in a turbo charged car, allow the engine to run for about a minute at tickover before switching off. this ensures the longevity of the turbo. or you can buy a turbo timer to do it for you!

spent the morning gardening, fit 800 litres of bark in the c2. the back end looked a bit low...never mind, then went to health and safety training at work "timber mills are full of sharp and or heavy objects waiting to dismember/kill you." now veged out on the sofa... looking forward to tomorrow at 3pm when i go back for some more training!

job training 3-430pm today and tomorrow...

my giant african land snail died. 3 years old, outlasted my sisters gold fish anyway...

1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" gearless ratchets, kamasa. safety boots, trousers, socks polo shirts, dickies. expensive day...

look at the white banner, foreground, irony or a demonstration of why education should be a "privilege" not a right?! can't believe she's a student. made me crease though!

set of 4 kamasa prybars, 95mm-450mm. should help with fitting coilovers without breaking screwdrivers!

should be running around 230bhp if standard...! awesome car, but I'd rather you putting petrol in it than me!

flipping heck that's big!

there's a lot of quarries near where my parents live, and my friends dad bought enough equipment 2nd hand to do dust suppression work in them, then built from there into running all new kit (Herbst, MF, JD, Merlot, JCB) for industrial and agricultural applications, at all scales. Now my friend has taken over the business and it's flourishing. it's all about what is needed in your area and a bit of luck i think!

panicking, revising, just called my boss, roll on 7am on the 6th...

tough love from Papa Malc, (Mr Freckelton to you) told him i'd looked at the past questions for my exam on friday, and jokingly, that i might as well drop out rather than suffer the indignity of failing it, he told me I could drop out but I'd have to give him £200,000. all nighter it is then!

great pictures lad!

3 hour exam today, people leaving after 90mins, jokers. hope they fail. then my lecturer reading their papers while i was still in the exam making horrified gasping noises. fills one with confidence you know... also phone has also started saving new text messages in random places throughout my 1000 message inbox. out the window with it. oh and another 2 hour exam tomorrow morning. tick tock it's meltdown O'clock in the goon household...

much like collecting toy tractors then!

last day of prep before a 3hour exam tomorrow, and a 2 hour one on Friday. Mixed feelings as second year draws to a close... it's time to resurrect the lucky exam fountain pen... and hope I can actually write legibly, having not written properly since January... the last set of exams I did!

Proud Grandad he most certainly is. Well done David & family.

so sorry to hear that Bas, my condolences to you and your family. alex

that assessment is (as my friend from lincolnshire would say) "c*ck on chief!"
