Congratulations Chris.....all the more reason to buy and play with tractors and implements now

Father Xmas has delivered early Mike

I know the feeling Mike...when at home speed is rather slow...when at my second home at Kemnay it is much faster...and at work it is really fast.

Is that translated as an easy one or a few tins of beer or lager David

Happy "Jump and Jive" Paul aka Valley Axe Man

Are you making Kinross and Minathort into a bit like a 1/32 Knockothie Farms, Ellon Joe

Receiving a phone call this morning telling me a local Aberdeenshire steam engine enthauiast Alfie Cheyne was tradgedly killed when he was crushed by an artic / lowloader at the Ace Winches yard at Auchterless near Turriff.

An 800 litre compost bin for the garden at Kemnay. MRP is £ 123.95 but Aberdeenshire Council deliver them to you for £35. Very strong and robust in comparison to the two Keter ones I had and returned both to Amazon and it was £30. There is also a 320 litre one for £20 so I think I'll get one from Drumoak to replace my plastic drilling fluids barrel with a plywood top. The only downside to the Council one was to have to wait 30 days for delivery...well it is the local Council and they are well known to take a while to get anything done I also took delivery of a 90 litre galvanised dustbin incinerator for £20.59 via Amazon and I'm well impressed with it. Yesterday I was removing pieces of wood holding up the netting which was around the fences for sweet peas and Tom Thumbs. The fence hasn't see creosote for 17 years because of this netting so it will be getting treated with the real old creosote you can no longer buy before getting willow screening when it comes back into season at Costco. After burning of the wood and netting I was burning old wiring so the copper will go to the scrap man with the next trailer full of scrap which will include about a dozen electric motors.

Only bought and paid for Sean to get the discount so I might get closer to 20k before I get them fitted.

The wuffler looks good John but I recall the real ones with blue wheels...were there two versions

Back to black today

I'm glad to say the sun is out here now as well Tim...have had to clsoe blinds to save glare on computer screen.

First fall of snow here in Dyce this morning. Nothing when I left home but from Clinterty College over to Dyce it was lying and even on the main road from Inverurie to Aberdeen.

You and Mrs R get more miles per tyre life than me Robert....must be all the towing I do or the way I drive

Four Michelin 235/36 YR 19 PSS XL tyres from Costco for £ 787.15. Well paid and ordered should arrive and be fitted Tuesday. Last ones covered over 18k and 13 - 1/2 months so I was pleased with the Continentals that were initially fitted.

Marky who? Have a good un Andy

Sun shining now Robert and I advised my new (elevated) boss ... (the Financial director ) I will take Monday off if fine weather in lieu of working 5 hours on a Sunday..to take up the rest of my tatties up since the frosty morning's are starting Well I did not say my mission but he comes from an Island (but former public school boy) so I don't think he will have had to dig or pick tatties

Work day three today so means I need to work but from home. Done 2 hours but due to a system outrage down for three hours I'll have to do split shifts...but hey ho it pouring down outside and well if fine tomorrow I will take the day off in lieu. Meanwhile I'll spend some time on here and get paid for it

And today a happy birthday to Mart ( Three and me) and Paulai....( 4 dozen) Hope you have a good one

May have been a quiet Summer Brian but you have started with a busy winter

From Wattie at Earnvale Brian ..I thought you must have curled up and gone in to a coma since you have not been posting much of late....but hey ho..a bit like me recently since there is nothing on the secondary market to float my boat.

Happy Birthday to Robert and Wil

Sound good Sean...but then again all good thing's come to and end It always amazes me why holidays and events that you go on always fly bye....so maybe there is truth in the old saying "time flies when you are enjoying yourself"

Happy "Naughty Forty" Dode aka toyboy.....only a 1/4century and he will get the auld age pension..."hae a guid ane"
