Ha![emoji23] Thanks for the advice Mick....Are you attending the APF this year mate?

[Mick Dempsey]

I might do, I missed the last one.

 

I will make my mind up closer to the date.

I look forward each year to my Haggis from George Cockburn and Sons in Dingwall.

My Neighbours are from the Black Isle and the Ode is read in honour of the Haggis.Neeps and tatties of course.First time I,very had Potato in a long time so it tasted quite luxurious and I had two helpings.

There is a word you sometimes hear used in this industry.Often used in a sentence like,"will this stand up to the "ABUSE" it,s going to get?"....as an example. Or you might see someone throw a saw in anger (a bit like a child casting toys out of it,s pram) I am at  the complete other end of the spectrum.Look after kit.Yes they are used in harsh conditions sometimes but I like to keep my kit in the best condition.I am extremely proud to work with Trees and regard Arboriculture as one of the most Noble of Activities.I like order and everything has a place....which usually means a case,locker or bag.My 160T was in perfect condition after two years of almost daily use and that was partly down to how it was stowed.In an old army kit bag.In fact the one I used as a rope bag when I used tocy le around London in search of work.I didn't wanta Stihl branded bag for my new 161T but more a Stealthtype carry bag.Sitting in the coffee shop as luck would have it I saw one that looked perfect in the Mountaineering shop opposite.
