If he's fit and healthy and knows you love him, you are a rich man!!! All the other things, work, money, etc are just incidentals, IMO

"Don't it always seem the way, that we don't know what we've got till its gone!!" Big yellow taxi. Count your blessings boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too true Peter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also once its rung up it takes up so much room and is hard to re-handle for selling on. I have several hundred tons, in lengths, that I have kept in case things went quiet, so I could start doing firewood. I have decided that things ain't going to go quiet, so I'm selling it on by the arctic load, if it had been rung up this would not have been an option.

I think the government has used around 500 Billion to prop up the banks. This scheme would cost 20,000 Billion, rather more.

I think that is only the old mechanical clocks, like old mogs have on the front of the engine, my mog has an electronic hours clock and counts every actual hour when ever the ignition is turned on.

I love the way you go through all the HS legislation, dotting ever "i" and crossing every "t", you insist on hi-vis vests even when in the tree. BUT........have climbers in adjacent trees.

Dealing With Learning Difficulties In Training...
skyhuck replied to DriveLink's topic in Training & education
To be honest, I have never been big on training. I am pretty much self taut, I tend to find my own solutions to problems. I do like watching how a task is done then adapt what I have seen to methods that suit me best. I first started felling for fire fire wood, I got an operators manual with my first saw, it had illustrations of basic felling techniques, its very simple to grasp the concept of a "hinge" the gob and back cut are a means to an end, IMO, so once I had the concept of the hinge and holding wood the rest is common sense. -
Not sure thats true in the UK, how many people have air-con in their homes? Removing the tree and letting the sun (if we get any) warm your house may mean you can turn down the heating.

I have several hundred tons of mixed hard wood, most is semi seasoned as it was felled a couple of years ago, I'm looking for £30 a ton. Any use use?? I could probably get a price for delivery by arctic, if your interested.

Dealing With Learning Difficulties In Training...

My thoughts on this, as a dyslexic, are that some peoples brains work differently to others, the way language is put into written form suits some peoples (those who came up with it) brains better than others. I have great difficulty remembering lists, I have to sort of sing my mobile number, a number I have had for over 10 years, if I give some one my number and they say it back too me at a different rhythm to my own I cannot tell them if its right, I have to start again and say it in my own rhythm. Same goes for PIN numbers, I cannot remember the number, so I remember the patten of the number on the key pad. I find illogical spelling almost impossible to remember, I use spell check for all my posts. -
Hi Rob, wellcome to the site. I am no expert on old saws, but chain brake's only became common in the early 80's, I had an early 020 (1978) that had no brake. And yes the older saw's were lower revving.

The respect is mutual mate

I meant your pic's. But as you say, you do it your way I'll do it mine

:confused1:The brash comes down first, so it's chipped while I'm dismantling the cord wood.
-
I wish I had a £ for every one of those I have cut and chucked!!! Each to their own, but I would have cut and chucked the one one in the pic's, no bother.
-
:congrats:
-
All good stuff!!!! But did you get paid???????
-
When I say 2 men, I mean 1 climber, 1 groundie. I cut and chuck 99.9% of the trees I do, my groundie is busy chipping not lowering. Normally the chipping is finished when I get down.

I hope you didn't do it for the wood.
