What a shocker of a week with rain and non stop drizzle.
The only days of work was Monday from 10.00am and Thursday Arvo was possible, although I didn't go out in the arvo. This rain started the Friday of the previous week too.
I had the whole week booked out including this weekend.
Today it was supposed to fine up and I had some gold clients to service, but nah non stop drizzle.
I have a mansion property tomorrow but with the drizzle it will make it very slippery tomorrow with the earth embankment cut garden/lawned areas.
Sunday is two commercial clients to do.
Well the forecast is for rising temp's and fining up, so one can only hope.
It makes you feel like your bludging sitting at home and I even drove down the road to see if another operater was working. His rig was parked at home, so that me feel better knowing he too thought it was too wet and I wasn't a softy.
So I have done maintenance on equipment and trailer. Whilst mucking around with the Hilux re oil/water top ups and cleaning out the cabin. Even charged the rideon and car batteries to fill in time.
Hilux and trailer sit under coverage in a garage so its good to tinker around with the gear.
Also took the opportunity to re schedule and contact all clients leading into the next two weeks and think about the ones that drop you out totally in winter with the, "we will call you". Even though their properties are going down hill with winter weeds and non clean up off autumn debris. It won't be a normal fee to fix them up whenever they call again. But if the work load gets too intense next spring, we all know which clients we resign from.
But I still hate this sit at home bludging feeling you get. Glad my wife wife works partime, at least she will bring home a income this week better mine.
