Stormin 9,981 #1 Posted March 1, 2023 Not a good start to the day this morning. Day's plan was to do some logging. Been left a good heap of tree branches off a tree that's been felled down the bridleway. Already got given a trailer load of big lumps by the chap who's been cutting it up. What's left ranges from 5" downward. Chainsaw and everything all ready loaded in the tote box on the back of the Sears yesterday. So into the workshop to get the Sears out, only to find front, LH tyre flat. Got a thorn in it. Off with the wheel and off to the tyre fitters to get it repaired. The tyres isn't in the best of health anyway. Not really surprising after 43yrs. Side wall getting perished and that was leaking air as well. New tyre needed. So I bit the bullet and ordered two multi ribbed ones instead of turfs. Back home and fitted the trailer ball hitch to the C-125. Transferred chainsaw etc to trailer and off I went. Now have 2-1/2 trailer loads of stove ready logs stored away for next winter. Still some more to get tomorrow all being well. 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a thorn in sight. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
