Wow, that was constructive. Do you want a gold star so you can stick on the fridge or would you prefer a new pack of flavoured crayons?

Hold your horses there Bamber Gasgoine. Somedays I think I would struggle with a three letter wordle.

Yes I did.

I hadn’t looked at this thread since April. 80 odd extra pages since then. “Please show me in the doll where the Orange man touched you.”

So many rebels in this industry. If there is a chin strap just wear it. If you have to wear all round protection chainsaw pants, just get on with it and wear them.

Do you mean it looks like there is another one still in there? My eyesight isn't the best these days. Or did you mean on the zoomed picture? that could be the shadow as it is pretty sunny at the moment so I put it on the window sill for the best light to get a picture.

Well I spotted something behind my youngest son’s knee today. Best be safe so I grabbed my phone to take picture and zoom in. Bloody tick, the fancy snare type remover worked a charm. got the head out and then wrapped it in bog role and cremated the little bastard.

Lovely midnight walk the other night.

I use the pen type. Press the button in the top and a snare comes out of the tip. Slowly put it over the tick. Let the snare tighten and twist out. Worked every time. we have a different one for the dog. They work great.

Hi Karate.

WTF has that got to do with anything?

There or there abouts. not sure what bar was in the 661. There wasn’t much left though.

We have loads here in Norway. My dog has had the medicine and whenever they latch on they die. We often find multiple ones in her fur that are still alive. I had one latch on a couple of weeks ago. Little bugger would not let go. Even when using a tick remover pen. I must have caught it early as I didn’t even have a red mark where it bit let alone a bullseye. Had a bullseye a couple of years ago and the medical centre said just to draw a line round it and if it got larger then come in for Antibiotics. It went away in a day or so so never got the AB’s.

He will need a big saw though. i flopped the barrel of the stem with a 661.

Our thoughts exactly but he seemed to think he was the man for the job. A pensioner as well. Good luck to him, he will need it. My mate also took down 4 other pine’s and a twin stemmed birch for the old boy to clear.

which image?

My mate lives in Finland. His son was bitten by a tick when he was about 10 whilst at their summer cabin. it went undiagnosed until Dylan (the son) started having seizures and describing what my friend said sounded like LSD trips. Visuals and fractals. Medical team in Finland refused to accept it was Limes and said he had epilepsy. Mainly because they never described a bullseye etc and it was a few months later. Dylan ended up in a wheel chair and almost went blind and missed nearly a year from school. A doctor in the UK diagnosed it as Limes but his medical insurance wouldn’t pick up the bill for treatment as the Finns wouldn’t confirm it was Limes. Many Euro’s later and lots of private treatment he made a recovery but still suffered from the time from school. He is 19 now and about to go into the Finnish Army for his national service. Limes can be serious if undetected and untreated.

Another day and another sticky Fat Pine. Drop and leave, home owner is going to clear up. Yeah good luck with that. Speed lined a few of the back and side limbs off that were over the uninsulated cables. Two or three logs dropped and then fell the stick over with the 661.

That’s kind of my point.

Yes I know but the customer don’t want the jobs to go ahead until the whittle birdies have finished nesting 😄

I just knee them when they jump or just walk into them. usually they get the memo. i hear you though. I have worked a lot with my dog to stop her jumping up. There are still a couple of my sons friends she still jumps up on.
