Darwin award finalist I would think
-
nice bit of ash - going to have a few similar sized in the not too distant future and looking to have a go at milling them up once we have the gear. Nicely timed thread to remind me to sort it all out
-
Nice pics - liked the elm and yew. Burrell, what were you milling in the opening vid??
-
hey eggs - looks like a good time being had by all :thumbup1: see how the climbing goes in the morning :lol: Terry

Zetor & Same spares availability?
teepeeat replied to Tom at Heartwood's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
a few friends round here swear by their old Zetors and my neighbour uses a dealer just over into Wales somewhere who has a good stock of parts incl for older models. Will try to find out which dealer it is. -
exactly - the few 'trees' i've seen growing around there would be very easy to chip - just roll the chipper up to the tip and let the feed pull the chipper down the tree - no need to fell :lol:
-
mmmmmm indeed unless they have found a use for a chipper in some other industry cant see what a one would be doing in Shetland :lol: Mind you that may explain the good condition
-
had a few that size growing up holly, ash, syc on our overgrown patch. It burns really well as putting a few bits through the fire at the moment
-
definitely got issues - the main one me thinks is small wedding tackle as growth in that department seems to have been diverted to between his ears :lol:
-
exactly what I would like to avoid - while they are young at least. They can make their own minds up later. A complete ban would probably have a greater chance of them becoming gamers - forbidden fruits etc. Trying to give a bit and then distract em with outdoor activities - thats the cunning plan anyway Over to fleabay in a minute to have a look what is on offer

Thanks for all the advice - I think - as some of it has confused me a bit more regarding different machines. :lol: easily done mind, as I'm really not into gadgets. Feel a bit like king Canute in the face of the gadget tidal wave, but at least our two do like to swing in the trees and play in the mud as well. The wee ones have played on their friends Wii's and seemed to have enjoyed it hence their numerous hints in the last few months running up to birthday season. As suggested - will keep it basic and simple to start and see how it goes Steve - I doubt they would give me anything on phone contracts as it would take em about ten years to recoup the costs based on my mobile phone spend :lol: Terry

The children (and missus) keep dropping hints about getting a Wii. With birthdays imminent, have been looking into it and am a bit confused about what I would need to buy. Basic packages on offer seem simple enough, but have been told that a lot of games require more controllers (?). Thinking here about the hand held input thingy-me-bobs rather than game specific accessories. What would everybody recommend starting off with as dont want to get everybody excitedly setting it all up only to realise we dont have certain necesary bits of kit. We are not chasing the latest greatest kit, just something to have a bit of fun with and obviously at a reasonable cost. Advice gratefully recieved by a confused non-gamer Terry

Question for any star-gazing Arbtalkers.
teepeeat replied to felixthelogchopper's topic in The Lounge
Felix - take him to the local club meeting and have a word with boffins there (out of earshot of the lad) Good advice will abound or maybe someone there upgrading and willing to pass on their old one at a good price. -
Tony, you're so last year colour un-co-ordinated is the new colour co-ordinated - surely :lol: yes - having a slow morning
-
just what I was going to say :lol:
-
lines.... LINES :lol::lol: Sure it does the job, but would have thought that the handling would be much improved with the outboard in the centre of the aft rail??

Blood pressure test to day 144/79 am on the way out
teepeeat replied to mendiplogs's topic in General chat
hahaha - have some personal experience at Tuckers -
wouldnt show that one too much round here - it'll get shot :lol: Some nice pics Paul PS this thread has just made the Petzl marketing department redundant
-
6' 5 &3/4 with similar leg length - went for the same as RobArb. There are still a tad short, but not a big problem with the tall boots Unfortunately got them in the days off the dodgy zips

Jon, I think your blood pressure issues are messing with your head - Bath beat Gloucester, what are you drinking :lol::lol:

Jon, your problem is too much blood in the alcohol stream mate yes been down the pub :lol: -
Perhaps your intuition/6th sense/gaurdian angel said stop for a reason. You listened and are here to report it. If you hadnt, who knows what could have happened. Better safe than sorry. As said above, job is done and everybody is in one piece so nothing to worry about. In my hangliding days we used to say that you get old pilots and you get bold pilots, but not many old, bold pilots. This can easily be translated into the arb climbing world I would have thought.

no, but will check with him. I think he is mainly interested in finding a good home for it. He was thinking collectors due to age etc, but if useful for something like milling, add another tenner and I am sure he will be happy.
