snowed solid yesterday n last night. got 15 inches of snow on the lawn. was out ploughin n gritting up the valley . quite a few roads will need to be opened up by the snow blower. one contractor admitted defeat as the drift he was tackling was the height of his tractor

Found out I'm clearing snow the morra, not in the 3cx, but in fathers John Deere 6210r with a snow plough, should be interesting

best if ya have a gritter behind ya harry . down here we find the tractors just polish the roads if their not fitted with a gritter making it harder for anything travelling on it later on

ploughing snow all day , back out again tomorrow , the novelty soon wears off

are you on the east coast john? im west of hexham n there is nowt yet

knocked my favorite coffee mug off the draining board this morning n broke it . ive had it for over 14 years

gritting most of the day since 4am , no snow to speak of . all was well till the wagon set off vibrating while traveling. u.v joint on the front prop shaft knacked up. by the time i got back to the depot it had rattled the transfere box loose

Alex, know what ya mean about the jd 2650 , i drove a 2wd model with a low sg2 for years , it too being f reg . that tractor could pull for england

cleaning ditches with the js145w, and a new tilty rotataty bucket, ate a mcdonalds more cleaning, another mc donalds more cleaning the home, to find shes gone loopy and bough a silver cross pram for the bubba, 

thats only the start of expensive things to come Harry as far as women n babies go

it will need to earn its keep Paul , have you a winch for it?

looking very purpousfull with the bigger boots on Paul. Excellent model

out for a walk this morning with my old dear and my brothers familly, wife stayed at home as shes still not well, and has now gone sick for the first time in 6 years odd ,has spent much of today under the duvet on the big settee asleep, thats now 7 days shes been bad, so am going to ring the docs tommorrow for an apointment as its far from like her

thats not good to hear sean , hope its not too serious n your doctors are better than ours. the ones up here like to fob people off ,as if they were cutting costs instead of helping people

best wishes to you n your lady

Never a good one to get....,and worse still when New Year is coming up.,,,David...anyway on a positive note I wish you and your family a Merry and Prosperous New Year.

cheers Bill, where i live at allendale , the new years eve custom is a bon fire in the village square. it is lit by about 20 guysers who are in fancy dress. these men carry barrels of burning tar on their heads and parade around the village chasing the old spirits out n welcoming the new year  before throwing them on to the fire

its very popular with tourists but now were down to 3 pubs ,its abit cramped

Bill i do hope you n your close family n friends had a cracking new years and may this year be great

finally got the flu bug thats hit my family this xmas

got a buy it now, ftf international 1056 off ebay for £23.95 with free p/p

very happy indeed

watchin films with the kids n got a call from the boss wantin me to go gritting the high ground route at 5 tonight n again at 5 in the morning  

no models but got 2 tickets to see mrs browns boys live at  the metro arena at newcastle . excellent

cheers Harry. i bet it will be heaving as usual. Be plenty to look at though

heading off to the dreaded metro center with the kids to find something for the wifes xmas. she full of cold at the minute n getting up a height at the least thing  .it will give her a break from them if nowt else n stress me no end  

i wonder if it any thing to do with the air in the tin you were using Bill, maybe next year you should surround the spuds with dry sand in the tin to stop them rotting, also they need to breath so to speak as spuds in plastic bags go off quicker. Nice try though . hope you have a nice xmas n its stopped raining

Back home after a week in krakow, great weekend with the lads, after getting a talking to from the girlfriend, going along the lines of when (not if) we get married I will not be setting foot out of my humble county that is fife, now in the pub, watching the west ham, Liverpool match, and drinking...... A diet coke

sounds like she is wearing the ring n cracking the orders out already. no bloke is exempt  

Thanks Sean, really pleased with it, a really clean car and has been well looked after. 

 

I have not seen many in red maybe 2 or 3 and they were the raging bull model. 

 

Just ordered steel rims and mud terrains for it as well

 

Not sure I would attempt flood water like that either not like the individual in norfolk

yeah my brother in law who lives at arbroth has a red raging bull model . he was raging the other day as another driver skidded on ice into the front of his pick up. no one hurt tho, but with all the black ice about it probably was unavoidable

all set for snow, roads all gritted and what came? rain! washed all of it away

happy birthday valley axe man

you will have to hire your snow plough out to your local council  n make a bit of cash

been out gritting since half 4, slid back down one of the hills , but eventually got up it. lookin at the forecast ill be back out later n prob  tomorrow morning
