I remember Mr Spoon. A few years later, in our late teens, myself and quite a few friend regularly went to the moon. Usually after a morning of mushy pickiing.

I went into an ENT clinic after lots of problems with my ears. They stuck a camera up my nose and asked if I had ever broken it. Yes I replied, maybe 5 or 6 times. He replied I can see that as well as a detached septum. That was the cause of a lot of ear problems for me apparently. I got some nose spray and was told if it didn’t get better he would break my nose. I went back 6 months later and told him it was better. My ears are still ****************ed but I didn’t get my nose broken for the 7th time.

It’s is a process of elimination. Wordle 1,266 6/6 🟩⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟨⬛⬛⬛ 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

That’s really my take on it. Why haven’t Bezzos and Musk got holiday lets up there?

I think they were faked. Stanley Kubric was a great director. But then again I am only an amateur Astrophysicist 🤪

I have pretty much a full Moose carcass spread over 2 chest freezers. I trimmed of a load of the left over meat and froze it into tennis ball size bits - 200g and then froze the lot with the idea of going threw the bones and ribs as Kira got through them. After the femur fiasco I reckon it will go to fox bait instead. She loves playing/chewing with the leg and hoof with skin left in it. The has nibbled the hooves a bit but nothing like the femur business.

I gave my dog a moose thigh bone one day. I expected her to gnaw in it for a bit. 49 minutes later it was about 15cm long instead of 45cm. She had cracked it open and had all the marrow from the inside. Catiledge etc and the bits of meat left ion the outside. She is usually good with bones but this one made her squirt for about 4 days. Couldn’t take her to work and we had trouble leaving her home for longer than a couple of hours. Luckily the neighbour looked in on her and walked her midday. Maybe it was because it had been running around a week earlier as opposed to a bone from the butchers.

Been cold and dry here for the most part. Had a sprinkling of snow about 2 weeks ago but that went. It started snowing this afternoon and windy. Winter is coming, Wools have been in for the last month or so. -8c yesterday morning trying to get a throwline in to a large Elm. Almost maxed out a 60m rope with a base tie. It wasn’t too bad once we got going though.

Horses for courses. I hate the Android OS and am pretty invested in Apple. Having a a couple of MacBooks and an iMac in the house makes everything pretty seamless.

I don’t think it likes the snow.

Most of the time yes. I even half hitch the chain sometimes to shorten them rather than shortening them at the ring.

It is just after the 26 minute mark. Neat trick when it works. I don't reckon I will ever use it though. I don't seem to have a problem with chains, use them for most crane jobs.

You still have got time mate.

What is a patient sling?

Forgot to mention it was only for the last cut. The bin fall off in random directions so not really that applicable if your are up there.

Plus some of that Highland Shortbread. May as well complete the set.

I saw a YouTube vid once where they did what you described Alex but on a bin. The crane op then drops the bin onto the top cut and as he cables down the chains slacken off and fall round the stem, they tighten as he cables up. Never tried it, probably never will but it did seem ingenious at the time.

They used to do it all the time. I worked for a couple of firms years ago. We removed so many healthy tree because a neighbours 10 year old extension was falling off their house. Basically bad building. Person sees cracked in their house. Cool fact the insurance company. Building surveyor will monitor the crack of a number of seasons. If deemed or suspected from the trees trial pits are dug and analysis on the roots. Remove culprit. Not always the correct culprit. For example, I have removed small holly trees, a few shrub and an apple tree in a garden closes to the damage. No one seemed to notice the 20m plane tree on council land 10 metres away from the damaged property. As for @kram comment. They want low risk and are going by what their customer has told them, they are unlikely to have visited themselves. I very much doubt that. Who else pays for the Building Surveyor, Aboricultural consultant and the year or two’s worth of monitoring.? Unless things have changed dramatically the Home owner never used to pay for these things. What would be the point of having insurance? There were companies making shed loads of money acting as the middle man for the above services I mentioned. When the work was signed off by all parties, we would go in and remove the trees. Sometimes the monitoring and discussion, often hostile, had been ongoing g for 2-3 years.

Who’s that up the tree? Nice work btw.

Do you ever do large trees? Do you climb? if you did then you would realise that when they are needed a GRCS makes things so much easier and safer. Mind you, you have to have the knowledge to know when to use and how to use one. It comes across from your comments you have neither.
