Rich Rule

Not really done much milling but I have murdered some great wood in the past and it is a shame the amount dumped, burnt or tipped. One of my mates out here had access to an oak log and another mate picked it up. I helped out the second mate. we got a couple of nice boards but hit metal on a couple. Managed to work around it by cutting a 3 inch board to clear it. Then it was too dark and cold so we called it a day.

Getting ready to leave the house and head up the mountain for a few runs on the snowboards. The kids have been bouncing all week. We set up the new boards, bindings and made everything ready. Pestering me on a daily basis, on an hourly basis. Life's little pleasure will be when they shut the ‘f’ up! 😂😂😂

I guess this is kind off billie big bollox.

I paid about 14 hundred for my MacBook pro in 2014. Still going strong now. More expensive initially but I have had 2 Macs in the last 17 years. Thats pretty good going.

Look on the apple refurb store. You can get decent MacBooks, cheaper but with Apple warranties and the usual. Certified Refurbished Products - Apple (UK) WWW.APPLE.COM We test and certify all Apple refurbished products and include a one-year warranty. Or enquire about the student discounts? They used to do something along those lines.

That wouldn’t surprise me as those back roads pass through a lot of the old colliery towns/villages. It is like a time warp when you enter them so seeing a Rag ‘n’ Bone man with horse and cart is still a regular occurance.

Not in Norway. I lived in London for about 20 years and most work was in Kent. Seen many a truck like that doing the rounds. I was back in the UK for a couple of months this summer ,in the North East. On the second or third day I heard something… ‘Rag Bone’ It was like a flashback from the 70’s and I went to the window to look for the horse and cart, only in modern times they were in a knackered transit.

I have never seen a legitimate company have a sticker saying ‘tree vehicle, frequent stops made etc.’ Trucks like that look like they have been covered in copydex before they ram raided Halfords.

That’s a did truck if ever I’ve seen one.

I care mate. I told the bloke I didnt want to know how to bypass the safety systems. I just wanted a machine that was working correctly.

And yet I have worked with many hired in machines from one of the largest contractors in the UK. One of the machines we had on a weeks hire to do a lot of Large Lombardi’s on the A406 near Wembley. The traffic management was very expensive, so downtime cost a fair bit. The platform broke a few times that week. Instead of providing a machine that was for for purpose, ie. it worked. The engineer / technician basically showed us how to bypass the safety features and alarms to prevent the machine from stopping.

It’s been pretty cold here recently. Minus 8-14c. have had the log burner in all November instead of the Varmepumper. The temp gauge in the house gets to about 20-24. But we open the door at the top of the stairs to heat upstairs along with the air circulating system. So I reckon it’s about 21 most of the time. It soon cools over night though sometimes the temp gauge in the living room is down to 14c. Soon warms up though once the burner is going.

Works great for me, especially in the rain and snow. I take two lines in the truck. Climb on one of them till it gets too wet or frozen to use. Then I change to the second rope for the afternoon.

Re the original system. It all looks very French to me.

I take it you are against hunting then? Are you a vegetarian or vegan, do you eat meat?

Got a link to the series Andy? I am looking at a Jämthund in the new year. Got my name down for a pup. Jämthund is the Swedish version of the Elghund. Little larger and slimmer. Beautiful dags

Does moose hunting with dogs come under the same? Is it cruel in the eyes of some?

A certain unsavoury word was replaced in the swear filter by the word ‘babe’ In the example you describe, I think the girls you mention think you are a ‘sexy MoFo’

I am sure it does if the shot placement is perfect. However, most conscientious hunters don't go for a head shot as there is more chance of error or a jaw shot which would stop the fox from eating and starving to death. What is more humane, a swift bite to the neck and guaranteed death or a slow death due to not being able to feed?

Auto correct. Original post has been edited.

If that is the case then it isnt much different from other mechanicals. In direct rope angle exiting the device can influence how the device functions. The Notch instructions even has a explanitory notice and diagram to show.

I think the estate comment was in relation to the upper class being the only people who hunt. Ie upper class toffs. Matts comment was to illustrate that it isnt only upper class who hunt. Yet the rest of the post was ignored and the council estate comment was highlighted. That IMO is the main contributor to the response. That is how I read it anyway. Yes, hunting is an emotional issue. I grew up with an uncle who bread hounds and other gun dogs and helped run the Zetland hunt. My dad grew up as a farm worker and despised the hunt. But mainly from the point of view as they were treated like shit by the huntsmen. Yet my father always said the hounds on the fox was one of the most efficient ways to despatch the fox. I discussed this in person with Matty and his missus one night. The folk who participated in the hunt back then, are a very different crowd from those who hunt today. So the prejudice (my father had and myself to an extent) may have been the case years ago but isn’t the case now. Edit: there are many windup merchants on here. Yes, they know who they are and continue to do so. Pops at other people and pushing buttons to get a response.

I thought it was due to the article in TCIA where a guy took a swing and hit the deck. Apparently his rope was over a limb and it didn’t engage. My issue wasn’t the wearing of the spring, it was gunk from multiple Lime trees getting in. A wash and 3in1 and it was good to go.

Nice pleasant post from what I'm guessing is a nice pleasant man. Matty is one of the nicest people you can meet. Maybe the implied remarks regarding his missus had something to do with the response. I have never met Kevin in person but things did seem to get heated rather quickly.
