😷 Feeling under the weather while moving heavy machinery

The narrator is feeling ill with man flu and struggling through the day's tasks of moving a large 60 ton cable rail drum. He's using a heated body warmer to stay warm and complains of getting frequent nosebleeds. They are also moving road planings to fill in hollows on the yard.

05:02

🐎 Progress on converting stables into horse stalls

The narrator shows the progress on converting the old stables into horse stalls. The stalls are being divided up, painted, and fitted out. There will be 7 outside and 3 inside stalls, plus 2 tack rooms. The grain store base has been removed.

10:03

🚜 Merlo telehandler alternator failure

Sadly the alternator failed on the Merlo telehandler, seizing up and chewing the belt. This also stopped the water pump working. Rather than overheat it, they put it on low load and brought it back on the 936. The mechanics will replace the alternator on Monday.

Keywords

💡man flu

Man flu refers to the exaggerated or overdramatic cold or flu symptoms that some men claim to experience. In the video, the narrator mentions having 'man flu' which is making him feel more ill than he might otherwise, resulting in him staying inside trying to keep warm and even getting nosebleeds from blowing his nose too much.

💡stables

The video mentions joiners working on dividing up some stables on the property. Stables are enclosures where horses and ponies are kept. Converting existing stables into smaller partitions to accommodate smaller ponies is a project underway to improve the horse facilities on the property.

💡yard

The 'yard' refers to the area around the stables and buildings where the horses are kept. There is discussion of scraping the sand off the yard, grading it, and making improvements to the drainage and surface.

💡sand

Sand is mentioned frequently as a surface material that was used on the horse yard area but needed to be redone. The sand acquired had issues with glass and metal mixed in, so the project is to excavate the contaminated sand, wash it to filter out debris, and reuse the cleaned sand.

💡arion

Arion seems to refer to a vehicle or piece of equipment that the narrator previously owned but has now sold or replaced. He mentions that with the Arion now gone, it makes room for something "bigger and beastlier" to replace it.

💡merlo

The Merlo is a telehandler vehicle used on the property. It is mentioned as having had some mechanical problems with its alternator needing replacement.

💡digger

A digger is an excavator vehicle used for digging and moving earth, sand, etc. It's mentioned as being used to transport the excavated sand up to the area where it was loaded into trucks.

💡birthday

The video includes some birthday wishes to viewers and friends who work with the narrator. Birthday notices seem to be a regular sign-off item reflecting the video blog's personal tone.

💡mortgage

The narrator mentions he has owned the property with the stables and yard for 5 years now and has likely paid off about 25% of his mortgage in that time, with 75% still remaining.

💡alternator

The alternator is a key component in vehicles that powers the electrical system while the engine is running. The narrator mentions the Merlo telehandler had an alternator failure that caused additional mechanical problems.
