I would be happy for any Miller to pay for collection of any Trunks I don't want.I mill some of the best stuff and use it in my House. People come to my yard for free firewood logs in lengths or in the round.I am just happy to get rid of it. Everyone is different though.There was a bloke on here with a Huge and Very valuable Beech log for sale.

I was moving the back-line Dozer when I was about 18,it began to get really steep so I stopped and began to climb out to have a look at where I was going. "That thing can run on twice the angel" Yelled the boss, "You'll run out of balls before it runs out of gravity" Sat back in,buckled up,moved off as the ground beneath the Dozer gave way and I rolled 25 Ton onto its roof.

Cut a few up and biff them in the microwave for 30 second bursts. I had a 70% success rate with Silver Birch. Some cracked,most didn't. The rings were about 10mm thick

I had an employee who used those boots. They were not waterproof and the sight of carrier bags peeking over his boot tops cracked me up every time.

Thats true Bob. I had a Chev with a 6.2 V8 diesel,th400 three speed trans and 10.5" rear diff with eight bolt hubs.Best two wagon I have had.My last one was a 6.5 liter turbo diesel,its on its second rear diff and I will have to put in a third.I wish I could put 10.5" diffs in it but the eight bolt hubs would give it away and put it into the Truck tax class over here.

This is my fifth American truck. They tow like a lorry and ride like a sedan car. This one produces 380bhp it's petrol and log. It's ok but not the torque of a diesel.

Guy over here is running a big Valta with 22k hours on it. He tows and powers a big Heizo with it. All that's needed doing to it apart from services has been on alternator. Pretty impressive.

Is there a limit as to the diameter of the trunk you can do a Picus test on? -
Pulling the bile gland off Chicken livers,that was one School Holiday job. Picking the yellow peas out from the Green ones,whilst standing at a conveyor belt was another holiday job.

Volunteer a few days with a few local outfits. Some days are good,some are bad. Physically its not that demanding,its just that other than starting your own thing (like most end up doing) there are few ways off the tools in most situations.That can lead to guys being on the tools longer than they should and being worn down over time. Good luck either way.

Fixed it for you. Now,it does appear that you see your presence here as beneficial to to the forum and the other members as your "friends".When in actual fact all of us would be highly amused and greatly relieved ,if for example you met your demise recreating the now famous "Pole saw and ladder incident". Please pay someone to film it.Please.

You remind me of an annoying Child who constantly butts in on an Adult conversation. Then once berated,returns to the room with its own faces smeared upon its face after defecating in the hallway.

75% of youths convicted of Knife and gun crime are first or second generation immigrants. I will find the source for you in a bit. Or we could just pretend its not really a problem and call anyone who speaks the truth a Racist. I am a first generation immigrant to Norway.If it get convicted of anything serious I get deported after I serve my sentence.
