[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 7963886, member: 416"] barstewards. Makes my pi$$ poor afternoon efforts seem little to worry about. Did a load of pH samples, not one tonne of lime required. Tried to repair a slight leak in the exhaust gasket of the Big A, faffed about for two hours achieved bugger all except a skinned thumb and a twisted knee. Went to feed the sheep and fell over a tree root twisting the newly twisted knee again. Thought to myself there’s an hour of light left, just time to trim some branches back for a little fencing job tomorrow. Couldn’t find the chain oil for the saw. Looked up and down and then found it…. Right next to the saw. I was looking for a silver can, the new one is black. Topped the saw up, had a phone call, went back to the saw and carried it through the workshop, across the shed, through the entry past mums annexe and out into the yard, put it down to shut the door, only to find I hadn’t put the oil filler cap on and had left a trail of oil 25 yards long. Ever tried mopping up chain oil? Its like chuffing treacle. Mopped it up as best I could, sprayed brake cleaner on it and scubbed it, no good. Thought I would get the oxy/ acetylene set and burn it off, which worked but will leave a mark. Nozzle blocked up. Found the cleaning tools, that whole set fell to pieces, put that back together cleaned it up, spent another couple of minutes burning oil off mums path, gas ran out with the job half done. By now it’s dark and I thought sod it I’m going in. Luckily mum wasn’t annoyed. That’s the only thing that’s gone right all afternoon. [/QUOTE]
