stuck in the mud

last night a rather drunken wife rang me, she had slipped of the track and was stuck in the field ( in the car sadly otherwise I could have left her Whistle )
Any I got out of bed and trundled down in the pickup, Anyway all that was needed was extended suspension height and a bit of bravado and the RRS easily powered out of its semi stuck state Whistle


guess who gets to wash the car today Evil or Very Mad


and both tractors to wash after a rather more serious episode of a tractor sinking to its axles in a wheat field , twice Rolling Eyes
At least I got to play with my new 32tonne wire rope At work

The full sized alloy spare tyre was begging to be used but a matching set of tyres wasnt available

its not like mixing cross plys and radials, tyre fitter saw no reason to not mix



while we are looking at my pics can you guess what this beauty is?
