I’ve been sat in the warm office all day with 3 screens and 3 phones, hating it and wishing I was outside :-(

72 sent emails and untold phone calls and 30+ different WhatSapp chats on groups or 1-1

f**k the office

Well today's little job went well- sorting out 2 hang ups left by my Dads customers tree surgeon- he felled them to clear the new fence line, they hung up so he left them, 'I'll send a team out with a winch'. Week later, no sign of said team, trees needed outing and sorting out other peoples mistakes is always expensive 😀 👍 back, washed and greased 3hours after leaving the yard
Not a great morning though- as I turned into the gate a woman in an audi crashed into me 🙄🙄
No damage to my truck and luckily my Dad and his 2 customers saw she hit me, not the other way 🧐
217r has done well this week- done £1000 of jobs in 2 short days, used a quater of a tank of diesel and about 4 hours on the clock. 👍👍

that is going to be an expensive repair - for her ... obviously blind to flashing orange indicator lights

Yep.
And I KNOW I was indicating as I'd checked the trailer tell tale was flashing a few seconds before.
Glad I've got witnesses, don't think the woman will give any trouble- or her son who came and drove the car home for her, he actually thanked us for being decent about it.
But we all know what insurance companies are like 🙄🙄🧐

Go buy a dash cam to save any hassle in the future.

Many have front and back pointing cameras (good if you need to show the driver was / was not paying attention), while others can have a rear mount camera wired in.
It’s easier in a car, vans or trucks have to be externally mounted so rain and condensation becomes more of a PITA. I’ve got one with a rear mount and you have to remember to wipe it every morning

Clearing out the back of a farmhouse, doesnt look much but you couldn't see the garden for brambles.

Finishing off 115m of lawn edging yesterday, came up 75cm short 😫😫😆 Priced the job well enough to not mind though , and every visit there tends to lead to more work for a genuinely nice couple 👍👍
Got a 'call out' for the Defender this afternoon- our barn landlady was having a delivery of logs (I've got no logs to sell this year 😫). The guy had driven his (very smart) iveco flatbed with hiab next to the log shed, on grass and inevitably got stuck. I would have thought hard before taking a trailer behind the defender there today, felt very soft/damp, never mind a 2wd truck with a crane and 8 dumpys of logs on! Low range, diff lock, straight out 👍👍 he's left a bit of a mess behind but no ruts fortunately- he didn't have the traction to dig himself in 😆😆😆 no pictures unfortunately
