Still grafting...

I didn't get out fishing over the weekend because I had a load more work come my way & if things carry on the way it's going I'm gonna have to employ some staff of my own to keep up with the demand, has I don't want to lose the work or sub it out to somebody else.
I've had engine refurb jobs on, which I've been working on through to the early hours to get them done & dusted whilst working on service jobs throughout the daytime, only got the 1 day off last week & ended up working all weekend, I've also took on several MOT jobs for a trader, a cylinder head job & now a clutch job for a new customer, on the plus side I like being busy but boy do I need a break & in the mean time I'm also looking at new premises to work from, still working mobile from time to time as well.

Also this morning I woke up with the dreaded man flu to top it all off, still ya gotta keep going, I don't let it beat me, crack on regardless, now I'm just off back out now to sort out another job regarding a bust starter motor.

At last

Now the big rush of grafting has slowed right down, its time to get the rods out, man I've been aching to get out on the bank for some time, but have to take the work while it's going so that's the way it is, taken the rest of the week off now so after a sort out at home I'll be getting out on the bank shortly, barbel, chub et al here I come, but first a good old reccy mission is required bankside to find out what the river conditions have got in store for me.

I know Friday & Saturday have rain forecast in the weather reports & sure that snow melt will have made it's impact on the river but it's still worth a shot IMHO, so see how goes & the nights are drawing out too.

Blimey how fast does time really go? in 2 weeks time it'll be March already & 3 months into 2012 it's like the older you get the more time steps up a gear.

It's snow joke....

Well bang went my plans for a session this week instead I've took over a grand in cash selling car batteries, bulbs, wipers & anti-freeze, jeez it's been an hectic weekend & all thanks to 3 inches of snow, looks like the week ahead is going to be busy as well, I cannot wait but an urge to get on the river bank is niggling away at me so I'm considering booking a day of in the week, we shall see how it goes, man I couldn't believe I've took well over 4 grand this week alone, that's good going & I'll bet the likes of the RAC & the AA have been rushed of their feet all weekend too.

Had a look in on facebook this afternoon at some of the pics of the snow, had to laugh at some of them like this'un 3 to push a panda car cos it'd got no traction.

Pushing the law
Well it happens to them too ! & on my way home from work this afternoon a couple of streets away from home on the new housing estate I walk through that used to be the old paper factory the kids had got some talent there building  snowmen & igloos, I did not bother to take any pics though as I was gagging to tuck into my Sunday roast & I enjoyed that too, now just washing it down with some carlsberg.
