Is that an annual inspection as well, John?

Not JD but yes.
The apprentice is taking the 12 month old work trailer for its annual inspection on Monday morning.

Thanks, Rick. What about caravans, camper trailers and boat trailers?

How could you possibly do that, unless you were dead?

Yes. I'm pretty sure it applies to all trailers over 750kg loaded - i.e., anything with brakes. Most common issues are lights and tyres, but he also checks brakes and wheel bearings for obvious free play, as well as a visual check of coupling and safety chain. I assume that he also looks for any obvious issues such as serious rust.

Of course, and we all have them & one doesn't actually need to be a Senior either.

If the old hag next door even sees an air rifle i think she would dial 000.

Anyway,i know what i will be doing this weekend,can't wait.
Actually tomorrow is my day off,so might start then.

And i have got the dog a lot more interested in chasing them as well.The bloody things roost in the trees,she chased one at dusk yesterday,and it crash landed in a big tree,it was in the same tree this morning.
Reminds me of those big vultures in Africa,they don't wake up at dawn and fly off,like most birds,they sleep in,choof off about an hour after dawn.

This may help. I just hope that that your dog is a bit more helpful.

The bird's as laid back as the pooch.

Ours would have it ripped into shreds in about 2 seconds.
