Tractorman810 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 managed to get on here for 10 mins only for the wife to say " darling are you busy??" why was my reply " well there seems to be water coming through the kitchen ceiling" que ten mins of boxing removal, to find a cold water tee to the bathroom sink had sprung a leak, seems to have been leaking for a few days, although hard to tell with water as it can look worse than you think, but she then told me she noticed that one of the laminate floor sections in the bathroom had blown last weekend, but forgot to tell me , leak now cured, part of the floor removed, as it had blown right along one side and part the way across the room to ,guess what my day of is being spent doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Today I took my parents shopping at Inverurie fueled their car and headed for Oldmeldrum and Fyvie area. Dad took to the wheel for the first time in nearly 8 months and drove a bit before he pulled off at at layby saying yes I can handle it all right....I'm still not totally convinced she he missed 3rd gear and then there was a slight risp getting into 5th. Anyway I took over again and headed for Fetterletter Farm and then to Raymond Chapmans house to find no one at home. A call to him confirmed they were combining at Knockotie Farm at Ellon so off we set and I spent a while in the second seat of a 12 plate Case IH Axial Flow 9230 combine and enjoyed every minute of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Helped out with a local round baling operation I was photographing. Surprised it still went ahead as just prior was a massive 20 minute downpour (on top of rain overnight) Original plan was for conventional baled hay, but hey ho. The contractor's Claas Variant was constantly getting clogged up and several bales collapsed out of their netting and unrolled, so we just scooped up for the baler to make another run. One went rolling away from mid-way up the field but was stopped by the bottom fence, amazingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Well Sean I say...."don't knock it until you have tried it" .... An old boss of mine ranted and raved about it and me being me was against paying to buy just as much I detest paying to exhibit at shows or rallies unless you get your money's worth back. Anyway I joined Costco 04/2002 despite paying (now) £ 55 plus VAT....a year I still recover that in special deals or a refund voucher to spend in the store. For me it is only 7 miles away from me and I nearly pass it 5 days out of 7....I tend not to visit at the weekend since usually too busy and well I usually have more to spend my weekend time on than standing waiting at checkouts and pass port control at the exit door ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as gather apples then make the stuff Keeping a pictoral diary at the end of each day on facebook as well to remember it by.

Deere-est Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 That's a pretty impressive bit of carpentry you have got yourself there. You ought to make a few of them, if the cider is any good you wont be seeing straight enough again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Cheers Tris, so far we are reaally pleased with it, especially as the biggest project I've tackled before this was a CD rack for tech. Thats the plan anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Got to have plan! Look forward to tasting it at a show sometime Or if I up your neck of the woods again, best bud......... Top man...... No1 Yorkshireman........ Master Cider Presser ....... Enough now?! Anyhoooow ....... For me today, already been to the local MVF mill to pick up 6t of finishing meal. Now its back to spreading hay as I have done for the two previous days. This weather is a nightmare for it. 50ac on the deck and now its a mixture of conventional, round and big square hay and also some big bale haylage. Quality dictating what will become what. Haylage is being raked and baked now by the contractor with his Class 2900 on TM150 and a Welger D4004 on a Fendt 720. Once the rake man has done his bit he'll go back for the 998 and the baler will move into what will be big bale hay. Little baler will get going later in the day and somewhere along the lone the round baler will bale the damper areas and someone has to go and stack a few hundred wheat straw bales on a farm where 60ac of standing straw were bought. Oh and we'll have to get the hay bales in too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The evening went well, overcast but dry and warm, quite a crowd of spectators and a rough total of 49 entries including floats and walking entries. Only 3 entries in the vintage class, my 2 tractors pulling floats and a 1/2 size steamer. Here's my tractors and the steam engine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 popped out last night to take Harry and Emily to see uncle Marky carting wheat for Trumpington Farms, little risky time for Emily, 6 to 7, as its her feed and bed time but she was a good girl sitting in Hattie as we bumped across the fields, Marky in his element having a conversation with Harry!! Harry loved it that much, i thougth he may be a little shy, that he didnt want to come home, only way was to say he could sit in the JD near the car!......weather permitting i'll try and get him out again over the weekend?
