Today at work

[Wombat]

What a lovely afternoon, very pleasant in the sun and stuff starting to grow

Put the waders on to clean the end of this out. Needs a length of 6 inch plastic pipe shoving over the end and bringing further into the dyke

how many jobs you got on the go
how do you keep a tally on time,........stop watch or some thing in each tractor cab

Simple, every job gets a job sheet so time on the job is noted and any additional parts/consumables are accounted for. The secretary then tally’s the job up and invoices it. I usually round to the nearest half hour to keep it simple, and have a minimum change for the first hour to cover costs.
I also keep a very comprehensive diary and take photos as they’re time, date and location stamped

A bit of mucking out today

A neighbour spotted me, and persuaded me to clean a shed out for him while I was at it

He turned his out for a few hours rather then pen them up like I did, and they did look good when the sun came out (all too briefly)

And the dog had a good day chasing mice!

Be quick and get it tagged before it gives you the runaround.

Never get sick of seeing young ones just born.

Due to storm Eric this ferry was delayed coming into Killingholme
So I spent 4 hours on Saturday waiting for my trailer to appear
Today I collected a load of rollers from the Danish ferry at Immingham and delivered it to Liverpool to catch today’s sailing to Dublin

Having such a dull life, after I spent all morning feeding and bedding up of course, returned to the terrible ditch with a spade and did a bit of hand digging.
I actually enjoyed it - 'taking a spit out' as we used to say. By goodness I ache now though - it was easier when I was 25, but how many 25 year olds have dug a ditch out by hand?

I have plenty more to do yet though and discovered today that it may have been a while since anyone else has been in here.

That wheel is over 3 feet in diameter, off an old horse rake or something, maybe I will find the rest and perhaps the horse further up.

what is it about making water flow
we as kids never seem to grow out of it

 

[Greenbeast]

The OH wanted a swing for the little one, one pin knocked out and hey presto

 

[R.B.H]

Past week uncle made up brackets to fit oil tank to Vaderstad drill

Test fitted diverter for spool valve, works but still needs mounting properly
