Noticed a lot around lately too. A good excuse to tell anyone that'll listen what I recently heard about the summer of '76.

Tease.

Same here in upland Brecon Beacons, hardly seen a ladybird all year, today hundreds. What's going on?

Duh.

I've got some rings knotted on double braid. Is it as strong or as neat as a splice? No but I can tie knots and see they're still there. And the price was right. I can't splice double braid. Or rather I never have. Also have some spliced onto three strand, which I can splice and was happy to because you can see the strands holding. By yourself or not, rigging from the tree is mega useful. Sometimes the groundsman is useless, sometimes he's gone to chip up or shoot up. Sometimes you'll want to drift a piece onto the main system, or catch a butt. Or even sometimes you can run another down on a crotch before they've untied the last one on the main system. Or or or. The friction up top thing is less about protecting a weak rigging point (you can do that better by triangulating with predirects™ and redirects) and more about spreading it about being just nice. Reg Coates has a video on youtube explaining why he likes rings. The fact you can drop the rope and it won't zip up to the top of the tree is a good start. I use the 16mm Marlow in your link. There's nothing illegal about running it through pulleys and rings too. It might trouble Joe and his catalogue model mates though.

What is occurring with the ladybird population? Today, in N,W. England, it was a glorious sunny day. The rear of my house was bathed in sunshine. My wall and windows were covered with hundreds of baby ladybirds. They normally breed much earlier. Is this another example of the seasons changing? Hard to understand after the storms and cold weather that we've had lately.

Bold statement, but I'd be lying if I didn't feel like we're living a prequel to Equilirium...

What kind of larva is that?

A symphony in Orange. Mostly.

Straight up the transfer port in to the combustion chamber👎

Just open up the coil to flywheel gap, the ignition timing will be retarded ( if you can call it that nowadays) and the saw will be easier to start. Don't go too far as the spark will stop.

Isn't it just. I'd say it's aged better the the Matrix.

Criminally underrated film.

In the interest of accuracy and that .......🙂

I'm not planning to splice them for rigging, if that was your meaning. Working by myself is not the plan but learning is always good. I can see a lot of advantage to having the friction in the tree, it will reduce the 2:1 advantage that would otherwise double the force on the anchor. 3 strand is not listed in many arb shops, I can only see it here. What do you use? Marlow 3 Strand Lowering Rope 16mm - Radmore & Tucker WWW.RADMORETUCKER.CO.UK Lightweight, cost effective 3 strand lowering lines manufactured from staple spun polypropylene. The hairy feel of the rope improves grip and abrasion...

Some people are never satisfied......

I can’t upload pictures here but there will be 18 photos and 1 video which will be available on eBay. Wow belter of a saw available here. Not even broken in yet 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 This Stihl MS 200 T is almost like new Saw was bought brand new in 2004. Had little use the owner got a job and did not need saw. Saw was boxed until 2020 when it was checked over by local stihl dealer. Fuel cables replaced and serviced. Was then put back in the box. I received this saw at the weekend and have done nothing more than clean and start it. You can feel the power when you squeeze the throttle.

There were some belted Gallways up on Harting Down for a while . Not fenced in , could roam where they wanted . All had GPS trackers on . They have been replaced with what look like Limousin cattle ( French I think ) also with GPS trackers .

A symphony in beige. I had a pot of that. Too chemically.

At least the bacon was cooked. Reckon these on top would be the finishing flourish.

So the last shall be first, and the first last.
