The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Headed around to my new living quarters this afternoon to offload a few more of my belongings and pick up my key. I also thought i'd ease my house mate in gently to my model tractor addiction and delivered the first of my 300 strong collection. The duck? She has 300 of those to share residency with.

Deere-est Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Seventy odd hours this week, can't complain for March and it has been getting towards that most weeks this month so I've a nice couple of invoices to put out now The week has been log deliveries and processing, straw to Wales, tractors back from Wales, tractors back from Devon, tractor to Stratford on Avon and tractors back from Alcester, chain harrowing and off hiring plant from sites. All culminating in a session out in Bath last night. Today - breakfast at a well known canal-side cafe in Bradford on Avon and then more jobs in the garden. Busy? You bet!

BC Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Spent the morning washing and de-tarring two sides of the car plus the same on alloy wheels after jacking up to make the task easier. Needs must if she is going to be inspected by a car salesman in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Well, started with some writing but then nearly a whole day in the garden for me. An all round spring clean and tidy up, and preparation for the Spring and Summer growing months ahead! Glad to get it out the way as next few weekends involve shows etc...

Tractorman810 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 nigh on finoished the lely now, couple of little bits to sort inc a new ram after the main one broke, nothing to hard to sort, plus the grain tank cover, then emptied the fish pond out in the garden as we have now got rid of the fish after the leak the other day ,so next few weekends will be spent sorting the garden out and putting drainage in seeing as its a bed of shallet about 2 ft down and has never drained well ,then re turf it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 You have to be 'Quackers' to drive a Ford anyway David Very good Mark. I still think she's "quackers" for allowing me the amount of space she has for them all. Quite what she'll think of me when I rock up after my day trip next Sunday is another matter. " So you've done the shopping then?" "In a manner of speaking".......................cue several rounds of expletives from her. However I think i've come up with a plan to negate the potential ear bashing from her. "Honey, i've bought you a rubber duck" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexMF Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 You have to remember a love of model tractors is for life, a love of a missus might not be but in this case the missus is costing £60 less than the tractors haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 but in this case the missus is costing £60 less than the tractors haha! Not in the long run she won't ;) and you won't get anything for her when you come to sell her either, more likely she will cost you even more :-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
