Yes I dropped it with a single shot. Small ring Mauser chambered in 8X57JS.

I have obscured my face to deter the legions of willing young damzils who may tempt my virtue.

This thread is getting a bit nasty. Did you know I shot a big Reindyr buck a week or so ago, would anyone like to see a picture of it?
-
That's a point I hadn't considered. You simply cant be too careful these days.

I wouldnt employ a female because their menstruation might attract Bears. Potentially jepardising the safety of everyone onsite.

I liked the older style filters the best,they were also pretty much "stupid proof". If you reverse a modern filter and blow air at it from the intake side,how are you not doing anything other than what the filter was originally designed for? Its really a screen,not a filter,as in everything apart from air is ment to stay on the outside of it. You seem to gain a bit of free "adhesion" from the oil in the fuel sticking to any filter which helps.

Nor in my 25 years in the game. We used to wash and oil the old filters.

I had a tracked dumper that was a self loader,we used to pile it high with long branches,put a ratched strap around them and reverse it out of the site. Saved one hell of alot of work.

Over here someone would have shot the seal and eaten it.

20 odd years ago we were called to go and help a crew that was struggling on a takedown in South London,no one likes having to help out a crew that was known to slack off and then cry for help at 2,30 in the Afternoon. Anyhow we arrive to see the climber with the tree stripped out and just the top remaining on a dead Sycamore in the front garden.We send a rope up and as two groundies stop what little traffic there is,he proceeds to fell out the tiny top. Instead he cuts through the hinge,losing the top sideways across the road and into one of those third world BT poles with 50 lines strung off them like a defunkt christmas tree simulation. Harsh words were exchanged.

Is the deck on the LB wide enough to fit your tipping trailer on Josh? Could you weld two channels to the deck for the trailer wheels and just pull the trailer on with the crane?

Sounds good to me!

Customers ringing at ridiculous times - RANT.
Mike Hill replied to jfc's topic in Business Management
So what you are really saying is that you dont like people using a conduit to contact you,that you have advertised for them to use? This surprises me as its up to you to manage how clients contact you out of working hours,voicemail,txt etc. I havnt answered my phone for about two months now.In the past I would never consider calling anyone back who for example called 16 times in a row in a frantic attempt to contact me.If they cannot understand I am not answering the phone and choose instead to harrass me,I choose not to service their requirements. Its up to you to manage your business,not alter peoples behaviours and certainly not whinge on an internet forum about it. -
It wouldnt have been as funny if I had written " Khriss is a twat" on both drums.

Kit value minus 20% if all bought at once. Percentage of profit to be negotiated by purchaser is what sets the value. Sounds like you are selling a job, not something " Suzy and Bill" could buy without intimate knowledge of the industry. Unfortunatly tree buisnesses without a manager and capable of offsite operation arnt worth alot, unless your compeditors are looking to increase market share. If you just shut down, then your compeditors get a percentage of the market for free, if they want all of your share then they have to negotiate for it.

Just fitted a new rear spring and U bolts.I broke the spring last week. I will do the other side when I can be arsed.

Very sad,condolences to his family. -
Fantasic project! You should be very proud if that. Strange that the archery clubs dislike crossbow.
-
You will likey have alot more interest if you post pictures and sell the planks individually. Lots of people have looked at your add.

It's usually just a bulk carrier with a couple of grapple diggers stacking it. In the Pacific they can sometimes stack it on deck too.
-
Could be? When I was logging back home the logs could "go off" just sitting in the sun for a couple of weeks. Maybe Spruce is different?
-
Do they ship the Logs to America in containers? They must arrive in the states in a very biologically diverse state if they do!

Depends on whether you have a sense of adventure or not. I love going back there but it is 30 years behind. You can have unbelievable experiences in the mountains and forests , however if you are into pub culture, whippets and day time TV its not going to be for you.

No its just so many of us are sick of your relentless wibble. It seems as though you believe you are adding to discussions ,when instead you are degenerating them with your baseless opinion and out right fallacies. There are people on this forum who are highly educated experts with decades of experience, there are also plenty of guys with 20 or 30 years graft behind them. Khris, when you spout your selfish bollocks in your quest to mean something ,you simply discourage many many people to post.
