Stigian 1,234 #1 Posted January 10, 2009 It's that time of year when heating the Workshack is a good idea, and as i really feel the cold having lots of firewood is a really good idea The joinery next door kept me in wood for a long time, but no more Que a road (and off road) trip to collect some pallets Of course Garry and Pete wanted to be part of the fun. Cheers Guys for your help On the way back with the first trailer load Back at base finishing the unloading.. During the break Garry being the nutter he is came up with a name for our group of pallet collectors Back for the second load and sign mounting Then off down the road.. I should point out the the road in question is a private road so no laws were broken It's a bit hard to see from this photo, just over the mound there is a ditch with a small bridge. The bridge is only just by a couple of inches to get the trailer wheels over Pete is doing his "left a bit, right a bit" thing And back home through the woods. This is my current desktop wallpaper A good day for wood collection, not quite so good for the poor 312-8 as somewhere on the way back a front tire decided it didn't want to hold air anymore. At least the grass and earth was soft enough not to do any damage to the rim. Back at base and unloaded.... "Power to the people" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teddy da Bear 11 #3 Posted January 10, 2009 A bunch of "salty" blokes you are! Your both standing there so proud like your buttons are about to pop! By the way your dressed...it does not look all that cold there. But that trail you use, looks like a great adventure! In one of the first pictures of the unload. That is SOME windbreak you have there! (tall hedge behind you) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bitten 134 #9 Posted January 11, 2009 Ian, you can make a chore of getting wood look like an adventure. Its more like work for me and my friends are never around to lend a helping hand. Stay warm and give those friens of yours all the coffe they want. P.J. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stay warm and give those friens of yours all the coffe they want. P.J. Ian knows my Grandpop's secret - it doesn't seems like work if it involves a horse (a wheel horse of course). Grandpop sure kept us busy with the 550 :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg Parnell 6 #12 Posted January 12, 2009 Ian, I really enjoy your stories and seeing the the fun you and your friends have. It makes me wish I could take my 753 and wagon and help you haul a few pallets too. I'll join the PLG!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #13 Posted January 13, 2009 Wow.. So many relpys... Cheers Guys Hmmmm....does this only apply to this episode or all your adventures I don't know what you mean officer A bunch of "salty" blokes you are! Your both standing there so proud like your buttons are about to pop! Not quite sure what you mean by "salty" Mike, must be my age not keeping up with all the latest phrases I think Garry and i were doing our Paul senior/junior "hard as nails" look but not quite pulling it off due to laughing so much By the way your dressed...it does not look all that cold there. But that trail you use, looks like a great adventure! We had a lucky break in the weather that day, cold biting winds but no frost, it has been bloody cold of late... And yes the wind break could do with a bit of a trim Ian-Your a pisser..keep up the good work! Hi Neil and Im a bit confused by "your a pisser" Are you saying i drink too much coffee and have to make emergency "hedge stops" a lot The drinking too much coffee may be true though Ian, Always enjoy readin' your postsIan your the best story teller I know Thank you Rod, it makes me happy to know ive made you roll on the floor laughing :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #14 Posted January 13, 2009 There is alot of humor in that man. It looks like custom wheel weights also. Good stuff Hi Coadster, yes you might say i like to have a laugh Yep, they are home made wheel weights but started life as a pair of duel wheel adapters.. Click on these two links to read all about the wheel weights. Making the wheel weights link Repairing the wheel weights link Great pics Ian I bet a lot of that wood has been used up by now after all the cold weather we have been having lately. Looks like those jeans are about ready to make an appointment with the washing machine, your like me i dont like wearing overalls. Hi Michael, has East Sussex thawed out yet? It's strange how things turn out... Now i have loads of firewood the weather has warmed up so Ive not burnt through much of it yet... My jeans are about as clean as they will ever get. I think it was pulling the pick-up apart that gave them a permanent change of colour Oh, if your ever in my neck of the woods your always welcome for a coffee and a natter Ian, you can make a chore of getting wood look like an adventure. Its more like work for me and my friends are never around to lend a helping hand. Stay warm and give those friens of yours all the coffe they want. If a jobs worth/needs doing, you might as well have some fun doing it Im lucky with my friends, they are all as warped in the head as me and enjoy all the fun/mad stuff that happens around here And yes they get as much coffee as they want I really enjoy your stories and seeing the the fun you and your friends have. It makes me wish I could take my 753 and wagon and help you haul a few pallets too. Greg If your ever in my neck of the woods let me know.. Im sure a pallet collecting trip can be arranged if you fancy some fun I'll join the PLG!!! Your application form is in the post :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
