Had a bit of time this afternoon to clear away some sawdust, sluice out the bottom end with some fuel and inspect the main bearings and cages with a mirror on a stick. Tried one of those endoscope connect to you phone thingees - waste of time only focuses down to 4 or 5 cm. Seems like everything is sound, rotated it through a couple of revolutions to make sure I didn’t miss any sections of the cage hidden by crank weights. There must be some regions of the inner race I couldn’t get to see but I’m going to say it’s good.

Have to be honest, Zach Polanski hypnotisying women over their breast sizes reminds me of happier times, such as David Mellor, former Conservative MP, famous for the Chelsea shirt and the hooker. I'd rather my MP's being slightly sordid than in the pay of the Ivans. Due apologies Sviatoslav Tulin.

I think they should fight for it. A wrestling match, ancient Greek style, not Sumo. My money would be on Trump getting the prize unfortunately; since he's in much better physical shape than Obama. His former doctor said he was the "healthiest, the strongest, best physical specimen". Apparently. (Just don't mention the stairs.)

Beech tree - fungus and bark disease
salw replied to salw's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Thank you very much. So it was reduced to increase aeration and generally to bring into scale for its environment (a garden). So many plants and trees suffering from fungal infections as the garden was seriously overgrown and essentially rotting. it has lost its leaves prematurely. It will flatten the garden office and hit the house if it falls so will have a local tree surgeon sort it out. Thank you. Sad as it probably dates to the age of the house (1912 ish). thanks for your confirmation. -
You have no idea 😂I love being on the chainsaw but too old and sore to do it full on anymore day in day out, I’ve now extended my working life on trees.

I’ve had a beer and am now too full of love (and hedgelaying enthusiasm) to argue. Namaste, brother Mick.

Clearing saw blade on a brushcutter ticket
Brushcutter replied to jamesinwestwales's topic in Training & education
Puwer says you need suitable training for the equipment your using. That's what the HSE would say. Seems clearing saw is getting more popular had a lot of enquiries about it lately. -
I'd use a length of 6mm clear plastic fuel tube. If you make a U with water in the bottom you will probably only see a few mm difference in height if you have the leg to the flue vertical and the leg open to atmosphere at a shallow angle this will accentuate the difference. I have one that was cast out from a university lab [1] but you are a bit far from me. [1] a nice old microscope too

I put a small electric winch on my tracked tw150. I don't expect much but got the transit stuck the other day, front wheel off a small bridge back wheel of the ground, sounds more dramatic than it was, but the chipper pulled it with the winch no trouble at all! For a £200 it was money well spent!

could be a long while before this is a problem. Dryad Saddle rarely a cause ot panic on Sycamore, it's pretty slow moving. In your situation, it would be possble to bring forward occlusion of the wound by CAREFULLY chiseling off the excess deadwood of the stub to get it as close as possible to the advancing woundwood. Just around the edges.

I've done a bit of research and general conclusion seems to be that propyzamide is probably less bad than glyphosate - both for the environment and for people. Do you guys agree?

Help me Id this - potential tree resin?
green heart replied to KMc's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Well, it's obviously the local Scouse Lab formulation of crystal meth, or a new Spice blend, perhaps. And hastily discarded, one imagines, during a police pursuit.. so just get it weighed in.. The last photo actually looks quite trippy to me. 🤭 -
one of my exes asked that usual question,while waiting for the kettle to boil, "does my bum look big in this" I pride myself in my honesty so answered the best I could,, "well, Yes, but to be fair it is a small kitchen" like I said,, one of my exes.
