Today at work

[Dman2]

Better put one of the wife on as well

 

[DRC]

Have you not had much rain over the w/e?
Once it started around noon yesterday it didn't stop til late eve. Then another dose here this morning.

30 mm on Thursday, but mostly dry since. A few heavy showers , but surprisingly good today, as thought we were I for a wet day.

How's the Class going?

 

[puppet]

I am sick of seeing flat stone-free fields where the only obstruction is the odd pylon which some of you with GPS still manage to hit.
Had a day dodging the rocks and knowes to get some silage down. This was the worst field. Lovely views, no broken blades and I was shadowed by 3 buzzards and 2 kites all day. What's not to like?

Pipeline site?

 

[puppet]

Pipeline site?

Yes. 2nd year but too wet here to get it all reseeded. Nuisance splitting 3 silage fields but all the extra time goes into the land agent diary.

 

[shumungus]

Gas pipeline put through this area 12 years ago. There were contractors in sorting land drains that are still not right this summer in some parts.

 

[APJ]

Mowed some second cut at long last

 

[Getnthair]

Not TAW at all - lost my phone for most of last week..

Storm Ali came through on Wednesday - 3 trees down, 2 double gate sets smashed, fences down, phone wires cut and about 20 sheets damaged on one shed roof - along with 20mm rain that day.

We finished silage just 2 days before that. Two pits - three cuts. 1st and 2nd cut were very dry, 3rd cut got caught in the weather and is a bit wet (- hence the effluent ).

I sometimes look at this thread in disbelief - dry, drought, dust???? It was getting dry-ish here, by early-July, but I have had 280mm of rain since mid-July.

It’s almost unbelievable how the weather varies so dramatically over what seems to be such a small area, rain seems to be so localised, I suppose it’s one of the reasons this thread is so interesting!

Spent the afternoon getting the combine ready for spring osr and beans later in the week.

The last few fields have had quite a bit of greenery in places, so decided to pull the sieves for a clean.

The last field the returns Kept going up, found the problem though. To many green weeds really isn’t good.

Looking much better now though

How's the Class going?

SHHhhhh
Don`t ask questions like that
apart from having new head gasket and turbo, and 3 of the 4 spools not working correctly
And the slight sound of a rumbly bearing in the pto somewhere
Then its ok
Might as well not bother starting it tomorrow now, its bound to explode

How`s the Massey going??

[Adeptandy]

As it’s turning a bit cooler, Mrs adeptandy hinted that it was getting a tad cool mornings and evenings in the new place
So guess what I’ve been doing today .........

Yep, fitting the boiler, had been putting it off since we moved in, but Autumn is creeping up fast

Wouldn’t have been a long job, but hadn’t got any pipework in either

Ah well, will have to finish it another day, just the LPG to connect and the wiring to do, back on the discs in the morning, W Barley to drill soon [emoji41]

 

[Deerefarmer]

Straw's still bright for this late.

It would be even better if the wind hadn't destroyed the swaths!

We need a proper pic of your baling tractor
