    After the last job of the day I was driving home on a busy road at about 80klm/h when I noticed something in the drivers side mirror, a bit like a childs toy or something flying through the air. I'm thinking, what the hell was that, very strange, too strange in fact, so I pull over. I start checking the trailer and car for missing items because I didn't want to uturn for no good reason. I'm looking through my kit and I realise I've left my good earmuffs on one of the last jobs. Bugger it, they weren't cheap so I do a ewe turn thinking maybe that was them I saw in the mirror but if not I'll go back and get em. I slow down as I go past the area on the road and there is one earpiece of my muffs on one side of the road, the head adjuster piece on the other side of the road and then the other earpiece about 25 metres away from that. They flown off at 80k's, a cars has probably hit them but guess what all the pices just slotted back together as if nothing happened. I think I'll stick with that brand from now on.

    Anyways I was like " I aint touching that" so on i went with my mulcher and ill be darned if it didn't fling out totally unscathed.

    I ended up going over it about 4 times and it kept flinging onto the area for my next pass.

    By the end it still looked in pretty good nick lol

    Maybe its time for a blade sharpen lol
    Lucky they didn't get wrapped round an axle or the blade otherwise you may have been in a sticky situation.

    Q. What's the difference between a tyre and 365 condoms?
    A. Ones a goodyear and ones a great year.

    Pulled up at a job this morning and there is a guy (Jims) over the road doing the lawns over there as well.

    My place I do 4 weekly as she is one of my little old ladies who I give a really good rate to, and I have been doing her place for about 7 years now, she cant afford to get me more often and its one of my jobs that I do to help out.

    Anyhow her lawn is full of daisies and a little bit of a mess.

    This guys comes over and has a go at me for letting it get so far out of hand, and that I should take more care. Me - Ok so my client wants it done monthly, Him - well you should just tell her it has to be done every 2 weeks. any how I just walk away and ignore him

    Than he see's me using her green waste bin .... You shouldnt be doing that its against council regulations, - Me thinks "what the".

    Finish of the job pack up, so been in a bit of a grumpy mood, go over to him with my quote book in hand, and ask for his name and address. Him - why do you want that. Me - So i can send you the invoice for the extra mow, and taking away the green waste. That shut him up very quickly..

    I have done this with a couple of neighbours at various jobs if they have come over to have a winge about anything as welll

    I dont think I would have been as civil as you mate. Since when is it against Council regulations to put green waste in a green waste bin.
