Many thanks for the advice think I need a new bigger drill

Found this abandoned pet in the shallow brook that runs along the edge of Gloucester Park last month. Not the frequently seen UK feral Red-eared terrapin or the very closely related (sub species) Yellow-bellied slider, this is an Eastern Musk or Stinkpot turtle. It wouldn’t have survived through the winter where it was, so it resided with me for a week until collection by a rescue centre in Kent which specialises in reptiles. Stinkpot turtles are smaller, have shorter legs and more highly domed shells than Red-ears/YBS and judging by observations, are generally much more secretive and timid too. EG It never climbed out to bask on the rocks I provisioned for it. The common names allude to the species’ defensive strategy of emitting an unpleasant odour when alarmed. Thankfully, I didn’t experience this first hand. Presumably because, being used to handling as a former pet, the animal’s disposition was pretty chilled.😎

"Legend"

There was in reality only one 🤷‍♂️if you are struggling with that as a whole then maybe ask a few specifics. Just a thought.

Not at all, clarification.

@Mark J " The Fash" seriously mate! Sounds like you got a bit carried away singing " The Red banner" at last night's CND rally ,you " Hip Cat " you. Signed Mike "Peppermint Square" Hill * thrusts clenched fist skyward,adjusts beret*

😂😂😂Ah Blagger the irony of such a comment coming from the master of said technique, loose ends today 🤷‍♂️any chance. Good to see you back to full BS shameless mode after your little sulk when called out for your bollocks “ we as a group” shite 😂😂

Milwaukee SDS Max .

Diversion.. JohnsonD, count how many posts you have made today without actually saying anything apart from distracting from the topics in hand. Only saying you weird leotard.

Diversion as Mark would say

Big bloke, lots of steroids I imagine, might be a factor. Made a good career out of pro rassling.

Hulk Hogan has karked it then . 71 he was . Ticker it seems .

Around 45 minutes from Harrogate

There’s been a trend for that on here for a long time as well you know. Some buggers just will not answer a straight question 🤔

be carefull about SDS's and big bits, I have burnt one up doing that. Milwaukee, Makita and Dewalts biggest and baddest drills all have more than enough cahoonas to do what your asking

How far are you from HG postcode area?

Thanks for reply’s fellas! I will approach some local farmers and give that a shot. gutted you are in Surrey, appreciate it anyway 👌

With you 😂😂never in a million years lad

Yeah both Trakmets I have had have been mobile models, definitely not light built for sure. If you go for it with the Rock box wedge, let us know how you get on with it 👍👍I’ve been looking at eastonmade and wolferidge models myself.

Depends on the drill. If you have a battery SDS then that should definitely do it. If you have a decent Milwaukee drill with a decent sized battery or batteries. I would say it will do it.

sweet. i sent the same pic to the dealer and they said the same. thank you.

If you were in Sussex, I would have said you can use the woods on the estate I manage. But Yorkshire is a bit of a drive for you. sorry. 👍

If you know a local farmer or someone who has a patch of woodland, drop them a message/give them a call. It's what I did and haven't had a no yet, just make it clear that you won't be cutting anything and it's purely for practice/recreation. Oh, and if you do get in with a farmer or the like, Number one rule is always shut the gate, you don't want to be responsible for a randy bull to get out!
