Original Jethro Tull Guitarist Mick Abrahams Dead at 82 ULTIMATECLASSICROCK.COM See what his replacement in Jethro Tull had to say about the "magnificent guitar player."

The OP has not hinted at what he would pay for say 2 arctic bulker load sat in a yard 40 mile away from his yard ? I get the feeling he is wanting it for next to nowt ? but every thing in life has a value and that value is far more to some than it is to others,, I know of 3 local ish yards where tree surgeons tip off (log chip and brash), 2 are free of charge and one is a tenner a load weather it be a barrow full or 5 tonne, all 3 of them are no where near as busy as they where 3 or 4 yrs ago ? and there is a very simple answer to that one and it is as the age old saying goes, money talks, One of these yards a friend of mine takes all the shite log from it for chipping (i do know what he pays for it and its not peanuts) and its 1 or 2 arctic load a wk ATM unlike 3 or 4 yrs ago it was 4 or 5 arctic load a wk, sorry to say things have changed as some one said above due to green energy ? and the days of getting timber of any sort for little money have virtually gone, 10 yr ago i was paying £950 for 25 tonne loads of decent sized hardwood today you can put 2k in front of the £950 and thats if you can get a odd load, None of us can compete with the likes of Jenkinsons who are running over 2000 trucks and seem to have the waste timber biomass job sawn up from one end of the country to the other with the likes of Tilhill and Euro forest all selling to jenkinsons and have signed deals with em, so the likes of us aint got a cat in hells chance of getting much nowadays,, i do still get a bit of timber from harvesting sites but its a couple of tonne of 2.5mtr a couple of tonne of 3.1mtr a few 3,7mtr and a few 4,9mtr then some big rough 2,5mtr over size, this may equate to a total from 5 or 6 tonne to may be 15 tonne but all i am doing is tidying up for them as its not worth sending a wagon for a part load, i would think you are on the RHI payment for your boiler so your getting paid for each kilowatt of heat you produce ? i know a few on this RHI payment and they just buying walking floor arctic loads of dried chip,, some one did say facebook market place and thats where the tree surgeons are getting rid of there excess log but for good money,, i used to take a good amount from a few tree surgeons but not had much this last few years,, ,

I avoid big reductions. When you learn about trees over several decades you realise how pointless they are anyway.

Hedge trimmers are by far the most popular battery machine. In the pro range top handles far outweigh rear handle machines in sales although they have died off a fair bit this year. Battery tech just isn't there for rear handle machines to really take off yet. Even though they can charge up fairly quickly they are just too expensive with too short a run time for a lot of pros to justify buying a decent rear handle saw.

😞On it again Mark 🤦

did you see the outtakes at the end

You hold the post and say "When I nod my head, hit it!"

I purchased a new Hilux in Jan 2024 and the first thing I did was take it to a specialist for full waxoyl injection. And then treated any areas myself that I felt were missed. When I had the letter from Toyota about recalls I contacted my local dealer. They said they would only be inspecting it and if anything just waxing the chassis, so we agreed no point in them even looking at it. They said warranty would still be valid regardless.

£40 that's a good price. Make sure you have the right gasket sealant and its worth getting new seals they are about £6 each. You cant get the main bearings from Stihl as they only come with the crank from what I can see. If the crank you are buying doesn't have the bearings fitted then take your time removing the old bearings, you could try putting the crank in the freezer for a good few hours then try to quickly heat up the inner race of the bearing to get it off. Spud might have a few tips on this. You can get a set of gaskets and the seals for about £20, part number 4282 007 1600. The sealant is a bit pricy from stihl but they recommend dirko HT red which you can get from a lot of places.

Useful to know, thank you!

Here's some more - not sure that they are all even fungi !!!

I saw Gareth A Davies in the petrol garage a few weeks back... M&S one of course.

Found this on my walk today. Have to say I've never seen anything like it - so someone please enlighten me ??? It's spherical, hard and about 3-4 inches across (keyring for reference). Tree is Goat Willow My only thought is that it is some sort of gall - but if there's a wasp in there, I definitely don't want to be around when it emerges !!!!!

Fruiting bodies on the stem usually mean internal decay rather than a minor surface issue. The limb loss and slight crown dieback suggest it’s been weakening for some time. If it’s near anything important, a proper arborist check would be wise.

Thanks. Thought the title 'filing handsaws' was enough to explain I knew what it was for

Super quick delivery; and thanks for the freebies….girls devoured the quality street already 😀

Hello! I'm an arborist in Sheffield and I'm looking for somewhere within an hour or 2 of Sheffield to get my truck body converted from tipper to arb tipper. Does anyone have some reputable suggestions? Cheers Ollie, OY Trees - [email protected]

Heck! Just woke up! Was awake earlier but went off again! She just got the tea in so best get it drunk and up! Speck, Tickles.

There has been so much wrong with England that you have to wonder what's going on behind the scenes. Will we find out after the tour? Who knows but there has to be some explanation for such a dire performance; three matches done and Eng have one highlight to celebrate - Joe's ton.
