Alright everybody, my darling daughter Faith has mocked my technical abilities and created something way awesomer for me. Thanks to Lucy for some of the footage. What do you guys think?

Today's job was private so no pics except this back home in the yard one. Good though, corporate client, asked how far I'll travel, I said "as long as I get paid I'll go almost anywhere" 😂

Lunchtime y'all hope it finds you well. Ol slugger got her cof, Ruc, and reg all up to date this morning so she deserved a pic while we waited to be loaded afterwards. It looked briefly dubious at vtnz, they started dumping air then revving the hell out of ol slugger over and over. Sensing my concern the receptionist suggested I venture on over. I watched him do his thing for a couple of minutes and gesture at my air gauge repeatedly before casually asking " you know you have the exhaust brake on aye? I can hear it leaking air" once he turned that off she worked mint 🤣 2nd pic I jumped on a 1 ton scale, pleased to say I registered in the 1st 500 🙂

Morning peoples hope it finds you well. I was hoping to post pics last night saying "finished" but not quite. What started out as a few weeks touch up has been 6 months so far. 2 things left for a mate to assess and repair and she'll be ready for a cof check ✅

Afternoon all hope it finds you well. Perfect conditions to burn off last year's waste. Heavy rain overnight, still morning, now thundering down at destructive levels 😕 turning circle is underwater 1st time since Gabrielle, could be messy, can't afford another 10k clean up bill 🤞

Took some time out from playing in the digger to do a pig food run, Zek drove as you can see. Not having my machine at home meant I had to go get something to unload with, this 80k tractor did the job, took it back though, figured they'd miss it 😂

Afternoon y'all hope it finds you in good spirits. Some pics from the current job site. Scraped the yards out on Thu, was a lot of s**t! On Fri it was all go requiring intense concentration. Added to the confined spaces, power lines, and water pipes were more people and machines to watch out for as we spread more than 180t of rock. The rock was trucked in by another company running 2 bulk tipper and trailer units. A blocked drain turned out to be really blocked so I dug a new 1 this morning, there will be pipe to go in it in future but with a weather bomb forecast the main thing was to get it open prior. Take care 👍

Finished up at the last job this morning before moving to the neighbouring property for an hour. We had rain overnight until 9am so it was slippery and I had to claw out but got most of it piled up, to dangerous to go further down today as it gets much steeper. From there I trundled over to another property and started a job there, you might get pics of that tomorrow 🙂
