  1. Past hour
  2. Fare play on tackling that Mick,ugly dead horrible looking thing, I’ve never done dead sweet chestnut, it looks as hard as concrete!
  3. the summer we've just had was more like Spain is. Never seen a lemon on anyone's tree before. Seen the trees in a few gardens, but never any fruit.
  4. Not a good sign if there is no lights, you can’t even plug it in to the computer if it doesn’t power on, check the battery terminals where the battery connects, I have seen them push one of the connections back so does not make contact, failing that I fear it could be the control board, I hope not.
  5. Today
  6. Wordle 1,610 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  7. Sorry, this is a British forum (.co.uk); people here won't try to advise you. All we can recommend is finding locally appropriate advice. Good luck.
  8. Crytec do one that's not much bigger, bit wider but presume it have to be to go road speed. Would think this is about as small and cheap as road tow get. Chinese made obviously so prob not full time commercial quality; https://crytec-power.co.uk/products/crc500h-r-hydraulic-feed-wood-chipper

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    IMG_6112.mov Sailor just being a fine figure of a dog on the penultimate drive today. Tied up because he’d just tested my patience on some bloke’s labrador and I needed to drop a length of fencing during this one anyway. His best work went unrecorded because I was too busy laughing a rib out. Big field of waist-high dead peas. Woodcock up straight away. Then zigzagging like he knows what to do, three or four pheasants. I praise him and riding high on the adrenaline and my satisfaction he bounces across the field like a blesbok, springing three feet straight up and down, not in slow motion but as if the world just stopped for a moment to marvel at it. Magnificent. Pissed myself to the point I couldn’t blow the whistle.
  10. Can you give an idea of the day rate please?
  11. And a really fcking good guitarist. Really rhythmic, while singing something totally different (well). Not easy. https://youtu.be/TMGJhPO0fUo?si=ToB-03PocWMUC29u and to a lesser extent, Shy. Tom Morello is often held up as an inventive guitarist (not virtuosic in the classical sense but doing things other people don’t do, usually rhythmic). I think Ani could teach him a thing or two.
  12. If you block the fuel inlet to the carb, just put your thumb over it and create a vacuum on the primer side, put some fuel pipe on it and suck you should not be able to draw air through, if you can you either have a hole in the pump gasket or usually a bad check valve.
  13. As Stubby said it was user error rather than a manufacturing issue. The 395XP is a really good saw. I have a brand new one knocking about that has a cracked crankcase, I should really sell it on or fix it up. It will be the last of the 395's.

  16. You could start an eBay shop.
  17. But on the upside they do have a lot of princesses with £millions to give away,,, and they only need your bank details and they are happy to share it with you.

  19. Morning All, decent lie in here and she gone for the tea now. Biblical rain yesterday and think my garage is flooded again. Hopefully watching rugby on the box after a few errands. Be good y'all! Handel, Palma, Stash.
  20. Yesterday
  21. Turns out it is the X having checked, so must be the same as all others. Cheers
  22. Yes. When wood smoulders, with no flame burning the offgas, what is happening is the fire is hot enough to pyrolyse wood but not hot enough to reach the autoignition temperature of the offgas. Nascent char is oxidising to give off enough heat to sustain its combustion but largely without flame . Thus the acrid smoke going up the chimney condenses on the cold chimney as pyroligneous acid. This can eat mortar. I think it is slightly worse with hardwoods as it contains acetic acid (wood vinegar). Before organic chemistry took off pyrolysing beech was a major source of acetic acid. In 2002 I was snagging a large woodchip boiler at a department store in Milton Keynes where they had been burning rejected/returned flat pack furniture and one part of the flue had become too cool. Here is a picture of a 316 stainless steel single skin pipe that had been perforated by the acid that condensed, though in this case I think it was probably hydrochloric acid from some plastics that were associated with the furniture.
  23. It keeps popping up doesn't it.
  24. You'd think an important function like justice would be carried out by capable people; failsafe, double checked etc. It isn't. It's performed as competently as anything else the government does. Oh look, Alex is whingeing about government again. I talk with lawyers pretty much daily. I've done loads of bits of legal work experience. I've helped people with legal stuff. I've been through various legal proceedings on my own account, mainly doing it myself. Three days ago I settled an 18 month civil claim with a 9 year history, that I ran from start to finish. Same thing everywhere. Errors are the rule, not the exception. Two weeks ago I was served a copy of a court order (which you can go to prison for not obeying) mandating something be done by a date that had already passed. Evidently computer generated and not checked. You call the court. Everyone's off sick. They can look at it in about five weeks' time (by which time other contingent deadlines will have passed). You call the court via a different telephone number. You get a different answer. Total joke.
  25. You’re an engineer Dan. You know it makes sense.
