great,, a petrol can that melts the spout when you put petrol in it, Husqvarna forgot to mention that! well seeing as it's already fecked, I might try and dismantle the dispenser part and see if the seals can be replaced with fuel resistant o-rings.

well the "one in one out" scheme seems to be working out better than anticipated.

First time the 2.6’s have been together.

Afternoon, slept till 8.07am! I think most can appreciate the significance of that!😂 potter day looking at work, doing wee jobs that have been on the back burner, washing all the machines ready for the local carve this weekend.

Yes, bird feeders, or rat feeders if you like - all the suggestions are only put out 1 days food at a time (RSPB and so on).. but of course it is more convenient to fill up a months word of rat food in 1 go. Our birds get a handful of nuts each morning, and so far no rat problem.

Quoting a wind snapped sycamore over a shed, fences, a caravan and telephone wires tonight. Hope it’s still windy when I look at it. I’m winning that either way. Bang in my wheelhouse. Ideal job for the Pinkwinch too. He’s a mechanic or machinist so that’s some common ground straight away.

Thanks @Steve Bullman looked under my activities but can't see the hidden site!!? Should I be able to see int in the screenshot you entered in the chat above under "Here you go". If so, I get the following:

Oh dear you'll 😃, if it really have to ...for me id rather have a quick cutter over grunt , also depends if u want a forestry saw or more geared for tree work and dismantling. One size doesn't fit all,also recently tried other saws including an echo 4310 (i think) wasn't impressed with that . I feel husqvarna have lost their way now were on the 5 series and seems to be teething faults with certain models. I'm not tied to any one brand with saws and one might be good another might be crap . But the saws I'm currently running arent available anymore , All my stihl are gone ,all of the husqvarna are gone . I'm now running older none electrics echo , but compared to today's saws there ok. And efco /oleo mac ...old school series before everything got farmed out. Efco 156 is my equivilent to the 261, and efco 4100sp /4400 for the 241 ...gave fecking horrid back ache from that . But the efco and oleo mac last series were like the husqi 2/3 series ...I'm hoping ive enough till i retire

or a hedge cutter and polesaw chainsaw with the same batteries? You can swipe polesaws around in the same way as a hedge cutter and they will tackle the larger branches with less stress. Its great for cutting off lower growth off lime trees for example.

I'd be keen to hear your feed back should you ever demo/buy one

I can't see it being an issue. Only if, by some unlikely coincidence, you decided to stack the recently felled limbs on the ground, next to one of your trees, in poor health, for several months. So hardly likely?

They'll put him out to pasture. He'll be unfit to stand trial on anything when the time comes. All the useful idiots who voted for "The Donald", handed America to JD Vance and his chums.

I'm getting there.

Because I'm only in it for the money , .I also turned down the chance to fly around the world with trant civil engineers doing airport surfaces ,but I didnt have enough info to make that a viable option either..hate to do it then get stung with a huge tax bill. If it doesn't pay enough I'm not interested to be honest . To be also straight -I'm not keen on Oz,new zealand, usa or Canada.

Inonotus hispidus?

Finally someone who can sharpen a saw properly!
