  1. When i become a hermit i shall be extremely minimal...i don't tweet....follow...subscribe...instagram etc... Just Arbtalk which is the only Forum i visit and Facebook (Which i will be leaving shortly)
  2. I have my Grandchildren here and my family...I have no intentions of leaving.But in later life i should like to live off Grid in the middle of a Forest.
  3. Well done lads!...i've gone from 16.5 to 14.8 stone and stabalised around there.My lifestyle has completely changed and i feel amazing!
  4. What a wonderful thing to do at such ab early age.We all free climb as kids but what a skill to learn and develop.She'll be on a ZigZag (or Spiderjack) in no time! Maybe even skip straight to SRT....My Grandaughter's nane is Willow too.Beautiful name.
  5. There's that "justify" word again!!!.....haha. It's a state of the art pruning tool well worth it's price.It's a delight to use and of course so easy to maintain.Low inpact to the environent and leave's a super finnish.I highly reccomend it to you Mr V.
  6. May even get a smaller capacity battery as a spare just to see how light the whole saw can become.....
  7. Removing alcohol and visits to the pub have left me with a considerable amount of spare income each week so i like to reward myself with whatever takes my fancy.I have been using a 12 inch bar on my 160T for a year now with great success.Always wondered how a 10 inch would perform so i bought myself one this week.Now i REALLY have the ultimate pruning saw! What a difference in terms of manipulating the saw etc ....
  8. Great Pictures! What a wonderful tree the Ballerina is.
  9. Nice in HD...Bulldogbone?....Captain looks useful on such a job.
  10. That's the one we have..Well made.Does the job.
  11. I remember when you got that Jonny....Still going strong.Seen your posts of it lifting/holding on tip tie for ease of cutting.... Stein 3001 here at Premier and a heavier duty Polish version of a Hobbes type block.
  12. WOW!... Just watched it Vespasian..I have truely Arrived.That is one of the nicest,greatest and most humbling things i have ever experienced.For someone i respect so much and admire to say that is Mindblowing! He reminds me of me in his outlook and take on life so for him to say that is praise indeed.Thanks for bringing my attention to the video I watch everything he posts but hadn't got round to Sunday's.
  13. Haha! Brilliant...yes i have. What an Iconic movie that is.I've watched it countless times.Thanks for that Mick
  14. My knuckles...toes and eyeballs were aching!!!....it's not until you crawl out of illness do you realise how unwell you have been.
  15. I went to see my Barber Leslie-Ann.I realised that she is the woman i talk to the most in my life these days.It's a kind of relationship i suppose.Anyway i am now back to my old self and feeling fit as a fiddle.
  16. Must admit i do feel like i am waking up after being on Autopilot since the Autumn and i havent had a haircut since i began training in November.When i am unshaven that is also a sign that i have been unwell.Flu bug been doing the rounds at the yard for the last month....but i'm now over it but i need of a Crown lift and a shave so on Saturday....
  17. Had a Super end to the week mentoring one of our newest recruits on her second dismantle.Definately my mist favourite thing i've ever done in this industry.Certainly aiming to be involved with teaching right at the grass roots level sometime next year.I love it!
  18. Been keeping my head down of late or at least until the Spring.I wanted to keep my mind on my fitness goals throughout the Winter months and not wanting to fill my thread full of boring Gym Posts.Needless to say it has been most succesful and changed my life and that is no exhageration.....Spent a day with the Super Bandit on a small site.
