I had this settle on my footstall, the dog evacuated the house as quick as he could! IMG_0048 by geoff321, on Flickr Been getting some nice hoverfly shots, they are so easy to shoot. IMG_0022 by geoff321, on Flickr

I have done a few of the carbs, it is the way forward, that or an 020 carb which has no pump.

Such a lovely thing, I would be overjoyed & saddened deeply at the same time.

That was an evocative watch, I loved it! Keep up the good work!

Took out the spark screen & 3 number of 3mm holes through the internal separating plate to partially bypass the cat, the yanks are ripping out the cat, but it requires splitting the muffler body to do that, you will need to check your carb settings after. I may add more holes as I go, it is work in progress.

They area good saw, nice build, ( 360 tes), a bit of exhaust work perks them up too, as they have a cat in the pipe & a spark screen.

I wouldn't dream of it mate, you look kinda funky in your own casual kit, but I do think a picture of you on it is in order!

That's more like it!

Eddie that sandy ground brings back memories! I can smell the air there now! Nice to see the sporty is settling in well on it's rug! Enjoy yourself mate!

More practice, and a picture or it never happened..

That's cheap, I would buy it happily for that, they are a good strong saw, I loved mine until some scrote nicked it, along with all my other saws.

Thanks Stephen, it has some very nice bits on it, its an 'old school chop', which I will preserve, but it's going to get 'refined', this one is big enough for Felix, I reckon he would look a right Hotty on it! Might see if I can con him into a picture on it!

I picked this up out the back of a shed the other day, winter project to resurect it, then I might move it on, it's ahem, 9 feet long!!! Untitled by geoff321, on Flickr Untitled by geoff321, on Flickr

Happy birthday David! It's all downhill from 50, sit back & enjoy the descent!

I would love a grab such as that for my machine!

A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing home. As she walked, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say "Supersex.." She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair Flipping her gown at him, she said, "Supersex." He sat silently for a moment or two and finally answered, "I'll take the soup." --------------------------------- An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said: "You used to hold my hand when we were courting." Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to sleep. A few moments later she said: "Then you used to kiss me." Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep.. Thirty seconds later she said: "Then you used to bite my Neck." Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed. "Where are you going?" she asked. "To get my teeth!"

As Steve said, I would give the tree a mulch around the base,after scraping the grass off, well rotted chippings would be good, or even a little good clean compost. Dont drown it, bur give it a gentle watering every couple of days in very dry weather,making sure to get the water around the drip line of the tree, so it can benefit all the root structure. You could mix an egg cup full of molasses in the watering can, do this once, then again after a week or so. Another trick that has proved useful in compacted soil, is to lay corrugated cardboard, like is used in boxes, around the base of the tree, perforate it first, put the mulch on top, you could do this once the soil has been moistened, it attracts worms, they break up the compacted soil. Just make sure to gently stake the cardboard so it doesn't blow away!

Ouch, my wife was inventive with the alibis too!

That would make a superb 'trip trap' for the light fingered night stalkers.

Only for you mate....seems our secret is now out! Thanks Mr Blair, they are easy enough to build.

I built this from scratch for about 3 grand, & it's a better Harley engine, only had 1000 miles on the engine, the rest is old wheelbarrows, bits of ex wd bsa, the stainless pipe work is from old boats & any old junk I could find!

Nice Ironhead sportster custom there Chris, but that's way too much money! Taking it easy now and then is good for the soul!

Same as mate.

There is a thread on here somewhere, but just get an 8 to 10 mm hole as per picture, remove the exhaust first, takes 2 minutes if that, 7 get any swarf out after drilling, then you might need to tweek the L or H screw a fraction, I have done 4 or 5 & not needed adjustment.

I'm another one with a damaged shoulder, it's shocking how quick you lose muscle tone, I broke the clavicle getting bombed by a chog, never did anything about it for a few months, in hindsight it pays to get in for help as quick as you can, mine set wrong & is impinging on the joint, keyhole & grind me up buttercup! I'm going private, so bang goes my savings, but I will earn the money again, & waiting about at my age (54), is not an option I will consider viable. The 150 is a cracking saw, just drill the exhaust & it is a strong performer too.
