MA BELLE

I’ve just dug Belle out of storage ……. bless her.

She’s 23 years old and has created 100s of tons of concrete and cement over the years.
Her chassis so rusted that in parts she looks as though she’s dressed in Flemish lace. Her electrical connection has died so I’ve just hard wired her heart in a way that would give a Health and Safety worker an epileptic fit. I just want her to do another few tons of ‘grey’ stuff.
Why is she female? …… because she just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on …….. tee hee.

.

(You mean, she’s got incredible powers of endurance, having struggled with years of back breaking difficulties. That is what you meant, isn’t it, Peabrain?  Lo,TG Ed)

.

(Yes dear, that’s exactly what I meant ………. in a way)

    Thank your lucky stars you have TG there to make sense of everything for us. I have to say… since she began interpreting your posts for us, I’ve just learned so much!

    I’ve been very lucky over the years – the TG has told me exactly what I should be doing, when I should be doing it and what tone of voice to use as well ….. [oddly, she prefers silence]

    Perhaps I should go into relationship counselling ….. is there any money in it I wonder …..

    70steen replied:

    there may not be money but just imagine the joy you could get from passing on your words of advice *cough …splutter* …

    daddyp replied:

    That’s definitely a nasty cough you’ve got there ….

    Anyway, I think you’re right – my words of wisdom would bring sooooooo much comfort …….. people would be so glad I’m not married to them anyone else would look like a real catch ….. tee hee

    I used it yesterday Nooter – no squirrels but there are a couple of spiders now who feel a bit dizzy. Now you take care of all that whizzing and banging that’s going on in your neck of the woods ….

    you know, i read an article that stated that naming your equipment is an early sign of senility. i’d send a link but i’ve forgotten where i read it… memory loss was, i think, one of the other early signs, but i can’t really remember…

    She looks like a gem. I have a few tools that are longing for the “great tool crib in the sky”, but I keep rubbing the Frankenstein grease on ‘em and asking them to go another round.

    Had a bit of a smell of burning rubber yesterday ….. luckily, still a tiny amount of adjustment left on the fan belt drive ….. I’d hate to fork out any money!

    She’s a thing of beauty! I’ve got a wheelbarrow that looks very similar (ancient and rusty) – maybe they’re related?

    She IS a thing of beauty!!! You have an excellent eye young Puddock ……… [poor thing is, at this moment, getting a drenching - I've just run in from a down pour!]
