The 'Today's Job' thread

[Lancs Lad]

Cut and collect yesterday afternoon. It rained slightly twice but then did brighten up and in the end I did in six hours what id allowed two days for so happy days. Dual wheels and tyre studs making all the difference, a great cheap investment. Surprisingly soft underneath and I know I’d have been struggling turning uphill without them View attachment 76839View attachment 76840

Nice, grim up here yesterday and this morning .
Bet you thinking that cabs a good investment

Helping a mate with a tree job today. As you can see I’ve already pencilled down the butt whilst he climbed and set the ropes. Now hopefully an easy day of browsing PlantTalk, moving the odd branch out the way and feeding the chipper.

Very nice house but sadly the client is abroad so dreams of fantastic barista grade coffee quickly evaporating.

That Eddy Abbew comes out with some interesting ideas. I agree with alot of the gist of what he says - minimum artificial/processed stuff, but think 16 eggs a day is probably a bit over the top too. As my mother always says everything in moderation. Actually I found that since I stopped taking crappy snacks into work about a year or two back like Bakewell tarts and crisps I haven't really felt the desire for them either.

Eggs are grand. Easy packed lunch. I like a can of smoked oysters also.

Thats fking horrendous. Seriously.

At least it is self-limiting

Better than the goggle box …

very selective about any box time ... it's all crap on there most of the time -- youtube is my entertainment a lot of the time

also high in cholesterol Doob ... one a day is the 'recommended' consumption - one egg yoke contains half of your daily cholesterol intake - love eggs, but daren't eat them anymore

Unless you have specific health issues, eating eggs isn't considered bad these days... depending on how you cook them.

Cholesterol isn’t a thing to worry about unless you eat also eat excess carbs (ie the standard American diet!)

3 down, ringed and out this morning
First time I've used my fashion victim cup for a hot drink
Walk down the road next to pick up the loader to clear up the stumps

Looks like one from here
Big lad TBF What's happening to it ? Just ringing it up?

 

[William127]

Bloody hell. It's almost like the machine knows I'm planning on getting rid
Still, jobs done and paid and I've got a bit of time for a bit of firewood

No, being collected by a local sawmill with their lorry and crane.

The one next to it is bigger I reckon. Just waiting for Joe to get his rope up the top.

Yeah, two redwoods/giant sequoias. Neither looks in the best health unfortunately.

The professional arb survey gave the second one five years, which I thought was a very short time. I guess they decline quickly?
