I’m 48, still climb 2/3 times a week, but usually get a hired gun in for the real big grunty climbs… said hired guns ‘alarm didn’t go off’ on Friday morning, so I was dropped in to dismantling a whopping Beech over a house. Whilst the spirit is willing, the flesh has defo become weak… forgot how heavy a 201 at arms length can be when used all day! Tennis elbow came roaring back with a vengeance… Said hired gun is getting beasted next time he’s in…

my first piece I can nearly call furniture.

Morning all, Last of the snow and ice fading now. Week ahead will be odds and sods for me as Man Friday is on holiday and van in garage for at least a couple of days. Plenty of odds and sods to do though. Enjoy your Sunday

Not sure that is going to float long enough for the ducks to eat that, try a loaf of glyphosate riddled bread instead 🍞

You say 43 year old guy then proceed to post a photo of girls drinks?

I hope the finns continue this "trend" but with short, medium and long hyper mother f..sonic mega ballistic missiles. Or the kind of missiles that just appear/teleported in Putin's bedroom/BED 😂

O.K, reporting back. So, it's been useful putting the chipper away and for positioning on hard standing and gravel. Off road on a clients lawn, slight problem. This is due to the rollers requiring more purchase when the tyres are slippery. One roller slips a little so I'm constantly having to adjust the direction but it got into a garden and back out across a damp lawn without leaving a mess. Saved us a long unhappy drag though so I still count it a success. Now to get the the rollers repositioned or perhaps a meatier set of tyres...

I'll have some somewhere. Ask next year.

Yes I hear the Scillies got it really bad.

I bought three batteries at the start of this year and all have been replaced with the new ones that mark skyland talks about. Luckily they were all under warranty! My local dealer says that they’ve had a lot from this batch of ‘made in taiwan’ batteries that they’ve had to replace, but i don’t think there’s been a recall on them.

I used to use a chain and padlock, certainty a bit more to get through.

Not used their chipper but their stump grinder is passable. Especially if you re engine it with a slightly bigger Honda....

While at risk of making this thread the Sailor thread, I nevertheless feel compelled to report the great day he’s had. A luxury breakfast of half a hare he was very interested in when I hung it up last night, served on a bed of English snow with a hint of power steering fluid. Then beating where he was firstly funny as fhck, causing a pair of roe to career straight through my mate’s ride, twice, on two separate drives. Literally brushed his leg the first time and he had to take evasive manoeuvres to avoid one in the lap the second time. Then came off the chases at distance. And a hare chase. Didn’t lose him out of the drives. Then just did some perfectly credible gundog things, despite realistically not being a gundog. Flushed loads, picked up a really awkward one without chewing the back off it and worked a wood edge at distance, waiting, going ahead, coming back, all while I was fifty yards out with a stop flag. Couldn’t believe it. And now just lying round, just amusing me by ruining my carpet and looking tired. Success upon success. Best dog I’ve ever owned.

We require a climbing Arborist for a temporary position at Exe Tree care, based in Exeter. The likely period is 2-3months, up to 5 days per week. The reasons are that two members of staff have become ill over an extended period. Self employed preferred. Own PPE required. Own climbing equipment preferred, but can be provided if necessary.

Yup, will do. This is smoothbore BB, load from top like a stick mag.

I would have asked them not to make the roads sooo strait . Then we could have a few corner shops .

I’m a bit confused with the old Class 1/2/3 to new C / C+E switch and all the “grandfather rights” stuff. For anyone who had an older licence (pre-1997) did your trailer/weight entitlements carry over correctly, or did DVLA downgrade anything without you noticing? And if they did were you able to challenge it and get it fixed? As DVLA keeps modernising rules (like the recent diabetes/CGM update for Group 2), I’m curious how reliable the system is for “old rights” today.
