Well tyres for me to Bill.

 

A set of BF Goodrich AT tyres for the L200 to replace a set of Bridgestone duelers which had done 27,000 miles.

 

The wife's clio required tyres as well so 2 BF Goodrich winter tyres on the front and 2 normal BF Goodrich on the back the tyres that came off had done 30,000 miles £1000 total for all the tyres  :

When I put the AT's on the pick up guy in GT tyres was saying he has done 50,000 miles in his pick up and only half worn!!

When I had the BMW was lucky if I got 20,000 out of them and they were 210 each!!

Wife's tyres were nitrogen filled so will see if we get same wear this time.

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 ;D  ;D

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.
