From the top of the bar area, a good squirt was shooting out every second. With the saw held with the recoil side downwards, gravity had it landing on the exhaust. I'm about to fire her up, if its not cured by yesterdays cleaning I will try to get a video.

‘WHITE MAN ATTACKS MUSLIMS!’ Surprised Khan didn’t have him locked up.

Hi I’ve been looking for a little mini digger for a while now, a neighbour is selling a 2008 Kubota KX 41 3V for not a lot of money. Straight enough machine with a good cab and sharp responsive hydraulics. It’s not gonna be used commercially rather a bit of landscaping, Foundations and general work around the property, just wondering if anyone had used one or had any experiences good or bad. Cheers

A lot of fives today. Wordle 1,696 5/6* ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟩🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Morning all, Hopefully finishing last week’s job off if rain not too bad. I was never the best at branch walking, and pruning beech in the wet is not my greatest ability. Have a good week

Any chance of getting mine on too? Name is Duncan Currie...

My tort lecturer was an ambulance chasing toerag before going into teaching. He ran the scan vans that toured post industrial areas, told people they were afflicted and going to die in miserable pain, and then sued their previous employers (or anyone standing still enough for long enough) for the psychological damage his scans had caused. One of the appeals was one of the last cases heard by the house of lords before the supreme court took over. It’s funny now and he can enjoy his contribution to legal history but it was seriously scummy stuff.

Cheeky cnut, I've got all of 4 months yet.

Oh Jesus.

Nah, lime buds look like little boxing gloves.

Lovely day here, saw a brimstone and a peacock butterfly on the dog walk.

Anyway I have tried to explain to him that 40" diameter lumps of stem will not go through a 6" chipper. Yes they can be cut smaller to be liftable and movable, but thats not what a 6" chipper is for. Grass muddy slope up to driveway, muddy trail down into woodland/swamp.

Sorry, missed the unidirectional part. No, I use standard pulleys, sometimes with multiple sheaves depending on the situation. I can’t honestly remember working with anyone using Unidirectional ones.

Trip out into Oslo today. Needed to get some new snowboard boots so decided to get the ferry into the city and take the dog for a bit of a training trip. She was pretty good and chilled for the most part.

Topping saws? Completed it mate.

Can we talk about underrated bands in this thread too? Idlewild are excellent (and I think pretty well known) but don’t show the signs of conventional success. I’ve got YouTube videos with more views than them. Mick Dempsey has more followers on instagram. Make it make sense. I’d have given a kidney to be at the Iona show.

I would suggest that this is an issue/ It looks like the glue that seals the welch plug is failing. You could try using some super glue to reseal it but you need to dry and degrease it and use the glue very sparingly so it doesn't seep down inside the plug. Something like thick gorilla glue is good. I've tried this bodge on a few plugs and it seems to have worked.

The deal was that they got proper stuff in but alas, it is tip site! One that had various chip truck, 4x4 and trailers dump and go.

Phase 2.

I always hate Willow. Previous tenants next door planted one nearly ten yards from the foul water sanitary pipes serving our bungalows, only a few years ago. I was surprised to find that it had got in there, and was causing a blockage. Our landlady was not amused. The tree's not there any more. Our flowering cherry, which was here when we arrived, has never been an issue in over forty years.

Thanks to @green heart I have been converted - the Echo DCS2500 style clips are nice for high clipping and stowing the saw, so I've made a few for my saws. I decided theres no need for the lanyard to have a massive girth hitched loop, as the clip removes from the saw easily enough. This makes it slightly longer, less bulky and easier to clip. Its not the neatest thing as I was learning how to use sewing machine. This Stein lanyard gained a tight biner eye. It came with a twisted loop on the saw end so I cut one side and sewed it as a flat loop (hand sewn whipping twine for the strength). Not pretty but its strong enough. On the clone I have this longer green lanyard. It didnt come with a stowing ring so a while back, I added one. Today I added whipping twine to sew a tight eye at the saw end. Set up sewing machine to stitch the huge loop flat.

If you arrived to me and my motor was unfixable and your tablet didn't give you the option of booking recovery, but customer has it on policy, would you phone in or is it policy to get them to phone the office and leave them to it.
