Today at work

[Karliboy]

This is about the sum total off my week at work so far, done absolutely sod all.
I could do with being sent home to make the most off the good weather but the bloody boss won’t do it.
( the day he does it will start bloody raining again)
I think it may have to be a sick day tomorrow and Friday

Setting up the iTractor with movies and documentaries in the hope one day I can get harrowing and rolling. Place dries up slightly and one night of rain back to square one. Needs subsoiled but I've no chance of that just now. 4WD is buggered too and needs to go away for repair but dealer messaged saying don't send it away till I hear back from them. The joys!

What next once the nails are straight??

I’ve held of the nails today , I’m not sure I was mentally prepared for the excitement

Started to plant the veg garden today. Decided it might be more of a priority this year.

My wife is doing the same, but not quite on such a grand scale.
I did offer to put the plough on and help.

Haven't you got a nice hill and wood to isolate in? There must be something to do.

Been busy spraying today making a start at the first of the Hatra (actually Horus). Looks lovely and dry on top but surprisingly soft underneath and you can see the wet areas pretty well.

Empty stubble fields are baked pretty solid now but anything with a crop in is holding the moisture currently.

Been on spray and fert today mainly on direct drilled fields. Much more solid and less "sinky" than the plough/ph ground I was on yesterday.

I did farming today.

Why are they getting rid if they are edible?

They probably have cuts, bruised or not the right shape, basically not pretty enough to sit on the shelf, if you cut the bad bits of the rest is perfectly ok to eat

 

[REStracTORATION]

Well that's the lawn cut 5 times today...






... grass seeds anybody

That's a sad job. Was only thinking about you today and thinking this may not be affecting you too much.

No I'm only joking we still working...

Some jobs may be on hold, our 4 years list of 'to do' might be a bit shorter now !

Makes you think about who the hero's in this world are
Public services
Farmers and haulage
Food shops etc

We will carry on repairing farm machinery until the dust has settled and we know our future
Testing times for a lot

Glad to hear it!

4 years of work - that's astounding!

Lambing started

It's a good thing and a bad thing in a way aswell
Fast forward 4 years and they've gone off the boil sometimes hence it's always good to have plenty booked in to jump the cue.

Selling plenty of these wheel changers at the moment though

Few days down by the sea getting spring drilling wrapped up. Next challenge is getting home for the start of lambing...

Makes sense.

I was thinking today my 5150 (see post above) could do with a tidy up hence you popped into my head......not sure I could justify the bill, whether it be now or in 5 years.

Why are they getting rid if they are edible?

500t imported from Egypt, and these are the ones that have been tested for disease, so each one has a nick taken out of the end.
All washed too, so they won't keep, but I don't think they'll last long!
