Crossing through how many safe countries ?? Persecution in which one of them ??

Yes I have some parts about in storage mostly but I sometimes get some rarer parts offered too me which is a bonus

You must be mad. Those slabs could couple or twist within a couple of hours. Keep them awhile longer until they are ready to use.

Fleeing from a safe country?

I’ve got one in stock if L S engineers can’t get them but there not cheap £38.46 + vat ive only got the complete adjuster Unit the actual blue sprocket cover is NLA which is a pain I can get the Dolmar sprocket cover which are Expensive the last one was £118

Chain Tensioner Cpl for Makita - OEM No. 957213020 WWW.LSENGINEERS.CO.UK Chain Tensioner Cpl Genuine Makita Part OEM No. 957213020 I'd recommend LSEngineers. Sometimes they haven't listed all the parts in the diagram, but if you find the number from a diagram elsewhere you can search the part number directly on their site. I've done that for part number 160 which is all the little bits together. This shows as out of stock but available to order, this usually means they'll get it within a day or two, been ordering Makita parts for my hedge trimmer recently. Otherwise, look on the diagram and give them a ring, they've been pretty helpful to me in the past for bits on a DCS9010.

I have some Ash slabs, been drying for 2 years now and they are ready for use but I want to get the last bit of moisture out. A pal is putting some logs on a 'drying floor' soon, and has offered to put the slabs on as well. Im totally unfamilair with drying floors, or kilns or any of the last bit of drying so would appreciate any views of people with experience. Will the drying floor work like a kiln? My pal has said he could put the slabs ontop of his log bags so theyre not on direct heat. This would be a very convenient answer to my problem but if it wont work ill keep hunting for a kiln to use. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I'm looking for replacement parts for the chain tensioner on one of my Makita dcs7900's. It seems Makita has discontinued them, even though the saws aren't really that old. Was wondering if any older Huskys might of used the same parts. Parts are 164 - Makita TENSIONING SCREW 12X9 DCS7900--164-038213120 and also the plastic housing that the tensioner screw fits in on the sprocket cover ( see attached diagram). Any help would be really great as the saws just sitting in the box with a saggy chain at the moment! Thanks. Makita chain tensioner.pdf

There's a lot of madness like that in the animal kingdom. Think of the life cycles of Eels or Salmon for instance. Or Newts hauling themselves out of nice cosy ponds to treck across fields and roads in the blind hope of finding another pond the same. Eels have crazy lifecycles. I thought they could travel a long way over ground, but this says thousands of miles. This map solves a century-old mystery about eels - Big Think BIGTHINK.COM For the first time ever, scientists were able to link eel migration to their presumed spawning grounds in the Sargasso Sea.

We pugged it up in a wild corner of the garden to give it the best chance. They are getting quite rare apparently. Not sure why they emerge from a safe spot and embark on a dangerous journey to find somewhere else to pupate.

The surrogate Gaul is referring to the Romans if wikipedia is to be believed.

Removed a dead Beech. Quite interesting thinking of how to achieve it with a big enough safety margin. The tree was dead, Kretz, Ganoderma and HF around the base. With a sounding mallet it was apparent there was no sound wood in the base. We have a large drop zone, with collateral to the rhododendron underneath being accepted. Some stone gate pillars and a post and rail fence on the drip line of the canopy on one side. I was happy climbing the upper canopy the wood was clearly dry and dead, but big enough to take my weight. The unknown was regarding the base and the extent of decay/strength of the wood. Considerations were predominantly around knocking big bits and altering the weight bias of the tree without knowing what margins we had before the tree may fall. My final choice on how to deal with it were concluded by not wanting to be in the tree for any big cuts. So the plan was set a winch line for the eder 1800, and another to side line against the weight attached the a 3t digger. Set the cuts at 1/2 height bail out of the tree and let the winch do the work whilst everyone was safe a clear Incase the tree failed at the base. It still took a suprising pull the get it over, the hinge held for more the I anticipated. It worked just fine, I left a bigger hinge than normal as the wood was dry where I put the cuts in. Got out the tree and let the winch do the work. It landed in the right place as planned with minimal risk to anyone.

I’m waiting for Alex to send me a recipe involving garlic and pheasant stock.

Apparently the larvae can live in the tree for 5 years. I was pretty lucky to see one on it’s journey to find somewhere to pupate, although I probably forced it’s hand with my rummaging. The adult moths don’t eat apparently.

I'm enjoying the way it seems to move by concertinaring itself.

Fleeing persecution? No, stop being a silly person.

I though that too. Nonchalant about the seemingly near misses with the roof as well.

It's good but I'd not say I was a massive fan. I read the books when I was younger and heard various bits of it on the radio probably. Random bits like the 42 just stick in my mind, another quirk of the human memory. I'll re-read it one day. And Lord of the Rings. They'll be a refreshing dose of human creativity in a wasteland of AI garbage in a few years.

It might have been one of those I found fifteen years ago on a golf range. Massive thing. Size of a small bird. Made a very particular noise. Had never seen anything like it before. I killed it without hesitation. New and different things shouldn't be tolerated.

I have a Morello Cherry tree in my garden, the base is riddled with holes from Goat Moth infestation, it has oozing goo and smells a bit funky, never seen the larvae though.

What’s it taste like?

I've been a massive Hitchhiker fan in the past. Wore out the tapes. Could recite it along.

Flushcut/chisel ground sidecutters. Looks unprofessional like that.
