Today at work

Well getting to be 5 hours since a wheel bearing collapsed on the Ifor flatbed miles from home. No bearings to be had in a 20 mile radius, not for want of trying via any Google suggestion. Have had to revert to waiting for the man to come from home 2 and half hours away where all the bearing places have trucks of them in stock.
Been in one of the world's smallest MacDonalds carpark for the past 3 hours waiting as it was better than sitting on the side of a busy main road View attachment 1003158
Admittedly it's over 20 years ago since this happened to me, but I actually lost a wheel and didn't even realise I had lost it. It was on a plant trailer I was carting my grey Fergie to a show on at the time. I only spotted it had gone when I had pulled in to a layby as I had got lost just off the M6. No idea how far I had been in to the journey when it parted company with the trailer

I’d be a millionaire and quit farming by now if I was that productive in a day. Contractors certainly speed things up compared to a one man band. Sadly the reality is somewhat different:rolleyes: At least I can say I haven’t been an idle git:LOL: I could use a few of your batteries if you’ve any spare.;)

Must admit to a little bit of paranoia on the trip back, couple of lay-by stops to check heat in the hubs. Nothing untoward so pushed on, it was trying to check that all the wheels were still on at every roundabout in the streetlights. Having led front marker lights can have their disadvantages as they're pretty damned bright in your mirrors!
