Today at work

[Dian Landman]

Needs to have something like South Africa on your profile so we know where you are, it is always interesting to see stuff from elsewhere.

Lots of rugged looking country round there, I am sad enough to have looked at it on the maps and satellite thing.

Noted. Ill change that on my profile. Yeah our region is the 2nd largest milk producing area in South Africa

Nice to see your work.
Do you shot blast the chassis before spraying?
And how many coats do you do?

On a restoration no we remove every item then blast them individually
The main castings we try not to blast unless they're really rusty
Grit makes it own problems further down the road
If we do blast the castings we do it before the strip down

Castings get roughly 6-8 coats of about 3 different products
Panels get 12 coats roughly of various products

Tide hasn't gone out yet
Think i might have to reseed some of this

 

[matthewizod]

Cleaning crusoe wheat, attempting to save on contractor coming in !

 

[hesston]

Never thought I’d be back at this today.

A better view and no adverse weather today in The Peaks

Interesting project converting turkey sheds for pigs today

The dog enjoyed the ride down to the unit

The turf growing business fascinated me

£150k mower anyone ?

Turf grass seed £2000 / acre.......

Fendt is a tonne lighter than the previous JD . Operates on turf tyres for key operations . 138hp with more grunt and lighter

Started lifting carrots for the fat lads and lasses, but they are messy eaters

So meantime I have to chop them up

Think I might invest in a new wheelbarrow from the profits when they are sold finished, oh hang on........

 

[Little squeak]

wouldn't it pay better to sell some of the better carrots Choochter? Im not sure how far you are from an urban area but I'm selling mine at £1 per bunch of 6 carrots and thats wholesale. Your cattle could still have misshappen ones

Posh railing delivery day today. Managed to get them there without destroying the paint/dust coating (need a spray section in the shed)

Getting the builder to screw them down, but thought I'd set them up for a look

These were from 7-8 years ago.

I copied them, but made a mistake and made the end curls 50mm radius instead of 50mm diameter... Ooopppsss. Look better bigger though.
Had a look at the herd for the last time this year (unless the plans change)

Had to break the news to her that I was leaving her :-(

Jumped on the train and started the journey to my winter job... Here...

Forgot my bloody jacket of all things!

Looks seriously floodable. You need to watch this:

Home-page - Icelandic Meteorological Office | Icelandic Meteorological office

en.vedur.is

And also keep an eye out for jökulhlaups - volcano induced floods, they have a small one going at the moment, as you do....

Whole Country

Iceland Meteorological office - Earthquakes Iceland

It's a wonderful mad countryside. Have a great time

Some jobs from the last few days. Topped pony paddock, dug a hole to get rid of water, gave the6600 a birthday and yesterday I mowed the lawn for the first time since the middle of August!

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Started raking and baling canola hay today. Crop was cut 16 days ago. Whilst temperatures here have been below average so has rainfall. Less than an inch for last 2 months. No access to irrigation water means the pods would be lucky to fill. A huge amount of cereal and canola crops being cut around us as they will be lucky to finish...
