No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

No

Just going to strap down a load of straw on trailer atm in field. I'm gasping for air as it is just loading them with the tractor in field. Neighbouring farming company has spread hen or duck manure on 200 acres adjoining and the wind is bringing it all this direction. Jesus it's fairly strong stuff. I'm feeling it in my chest. Warm day everything not helping.

Pain in the head conditions.

Your well vaccinated now

A neighbour had an issue with electric gate- e160 off his credit card before the girl in the office sent a fella in van out. He got 2 new capacitors fitted e90 on top.

2 fellas in van , 45 minutes, travel on top, 102 probably includes vat. Think it's a decent price tbh, a lot of fellas won't touch them if they didn't install them.

I thought that poultry manure needed to be ploughed in immediately to prevent the possible spread of botulism - however I stand corrected.

Supposed to be and reality can be different things.

It's nothing to do with me. A shed was built to store the muck. But no ploughs used and fields full of seagulls straight after. Only consolation is there's not much livestock in area to spread anything to.

Yeah, it's the dead chickens and they're lethal. Foxes dragging them around the place. Remember many years ago a well getting polluted from this.

Council left their jcb pothole filler thing in our yard at outfarm on Thursday. Arm was down on it . It was moved yesterday evening with arm still down but into the wall of an old stone shed . It'd never roll with the arm down?

Highly unlikely to roll. Was the arm fully down? Maybe the attachment on the end moved with oil leaking back and the arm came down more

If it had a 02 Reg it wouldn't be overworked with those lads

Flies and wasps.

Ahh its not though… by the time you pay two lads, the costs of paying them to travel to-from has to be covered, then run a van, all the associated costs of running a business and employing lads… I couldnt see how it could be done for less to be honest..

When I worked for Alfa Laval we were charging £35 for first hour of a call out, thats old punts and that was 30 years ago

So it's raining a bit here this morning. Council lorry sitting ticking over in one of our gateways since 9am. Had to actually carry bag of meal around the lorry to give it out in our field. I needed to drive into that field with the jeep to fix a fence and had to blow the horn to get them to move. Went home to get posts and they were back in the gateway when i came back. 3 lads.

Auld fella wants to do up a trailer here at home thats been neglected for the last 25+ years. Asked a fella i work with for a few tips on it (hes a fabricator by trade, im a fitter) long and short of it was it was going to be too dear to do it up at that stage going by the suggestions i had gotten. Had a look at the trailer over the weekend the trailer is in absolute **** altogether. All i can see now is whinging about using excess material going forward and its a kind of thing he wants finished in one day too. I dont know how trades out doing call outs deal with lads like that everyday i wouldnt be able for it and its not as if im going to be billing for my time either. Half tempted to tell him land it on down to a fabricator nearby who specialises in trailers and let them roast him. Wouldnt mind onlty i want to do the best job possible with the limited resources we have but sure look i can only piss with the mickey i have.
