Without making any comment on how tight your arse is , do you know that these can be bought for £2.50, Alex?
-
And think of the money that you have now started to save! Alright - you might not actually 'save' it, but you'll have more of it to spend. Keep us posted - the down days as well as the ups.

EPSOM SALTS Don't laugh! Disolve the salts in hot water and soak the hand in the solution. Or make a poltice with the same salts. It's good for drawing out - honest. Dee

Look at the quality of your socks too. Thorlo do very good cold weather socks and very good cold weather lining socks also. While you're checking that you could check the footbed material - remember this is what you're actually standing on all day - good quality footbeds, designed to insulate from the cold below, can make a huge difference. Good luck.

Nor did you stand on it! Your luck's in!

Is the Hansa hitch the wraps around the krab and the climbing line? I've seen the same idea used with Prussics to make them release more easily after loading. I'm not sure about the complete system, though. There seems to be a lot of links in a complicated set-up.

The Official raffle results 2009
WeeDee replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Arbtalk Christmas Raffle 2009
Thanks for all your work with the raffle, Steve. The children are the real winners. -
Congrats Alex. Can we assume that the winners now know who they are? Or am I missing the results thread?

Stephen Hawking was told by his publishers that for every equation he put in his book he would lose half of his potential readers. I wonder if anyone will wade through this document and come out the better for it. My head hurts!

Sawdust - as Tommer says, it might be worth considering the socks that you should wear. The right socks make all the difference. Dee

I use Lavasoft products. Good luck with sorting your computer out.

The bark of the birch was / is used to skin the wooden-framed canoes of some Native-American tribes. Its bark can also be used as kindling - dry or wet.

I had a little NUT tree - nothing would it bear.

I've had aluminium react with other things (roadsalt etc.) but I thought graphite powder was 'safe'.
-
I read today that tests have shown that graphite powder corrodes aluminium in the presence of moisture. With this considered, the US Air Force no longer uses graphite as an lubricant on its aircraft - either in dry powder form or mixed with water or oil. It's something to do with graphite having a positive potential and aluminium having a negative one. Has anyone been aware of this (it's news to me), or can anyone expand on this information? I've never had experience of this kind of aluminium 'corrosion', or heard of anyone else who has. I leave it open to this forum. Dee

I did ask, didn't I! The reason I asked was because my brother-in-law has recently changed some of his orchard land over to a system that seems very much like the one described above. From what I gather, it does seem to have had more benefits than problems. If you'd like, I'll talk to him and report back with pros and cons. It might be tomorrow though before I talk to him. Dee

What's the 'Super spindle system'?

:biggrin:
-
Is it due to the possibility of losing grip on the controling hand and then descending too rapidly?
-
I use a Stop.

When asked about his remarkable longevity, an old-timer replied "Just keep breathin'." Wise words I think.

WeeDee replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Ecology
Whoah there horsie! Not everyone dispels 'academic speaking' with such a carefree side-step, so don't get too defensive, Bundle. I happen to appreciate logical supposition and evidence-based inference, and I also understand what you are saying (and have said in the past) much more clearly than others who appear to pluck conclusions from the ether and then proceed to find supporting evidence. Of course, I only speak as someone with a BSc in Environmental sciences - so I would say that wouldn't I? -
I used to have a plastic patio chair in the garden, but now I realise that it's actually an open-air Sea Harrier cockpit.

You're not 'with it', Steve. Haven't you read the thread? Can't you SEE it? It's a BOAT! (in a tree).
