teepeeat

thought the additional taxes etc on booze & ciggy's was supposed to cover additional cost to society ???

where do you get them and how much???

I hit the sack about 9.30 and get up just before 6 but I very rarely sleep right through. I wake up several times a night. Sinus issues mean a can only sleep on one side. I also had a head injury when I was young which has short circuited something in my head. Small consant noises now wake me up and get in my head until that's all i can hear. Dripping taps, stereo bass, ticking clocks even the very faint whirring of an electrical timer on the bedroom heater. Drives me insane and leaves me exhausted some days.

Had a similar sort of thing years ago, albeit not injury related, but find that the mind is very easily 'programmed' in that it will do exactly as it is told. If you persuade it to ignore these things it will. Conversely if you keep repeating to yourself or others that these things wake you up, the mind will do just that.

Used to have the same thing with flying long distance as I could never sleep on the plane until I told myself I would, and I did, and can drop off anywhere these days if I want to.

Possibly getting a bit into airy fairy territory, but it works for me - power of positive thought etc etc.

I occasionally have to get up early - around 3 am and find I can program my mind to wake me up to the minute. I purposely vary it a bit to see if I can throw it off, but always works. The alarm clock is always set 5 minutes later - just in case

Amazing, 8 hours is the medically suggested requirement average; less = reduced life span. Can't get my head round getting half that and feeling alive at all!

mmmm - always wary of blanket statements, everyone is a bit different and there are a lot of variables- some we are aware of and probably a lot more we are not. Mind you, a lot of people introduce a few extra factors with alcohol/caffine/nicotine cocktails

Early mornings are great - can mooch around outside taking in what is going on before the human presence asserts itself on the world with traffic noises etc. Either that or can get a huge amount done between 6 and 8 and then wind down through the day, or have the flexibility to decide what the hell and kick around the park with the kids after school

I wondered that also, but then I wondered the same about the petzl ball locks but never had any problems with them. I'd like to think skylotec have tested that aspect thoroughly.

 

Personally I think an improvement in the design would be to countersink the buttons into the gate...not sure why they didnt do that in the first place.

havnt read all the posts to see other replies to this, but possibly it would take too much meat out of the gate and reduce strength too much

Yup, Roseyweb, link would be good - the google based one doesnt give enough detail, in our area at least

Motorola did a range - TLKR T3 T5 & T7 seem to recall. Not sure if they are still around, but were sold by Argos amongst others.

We have the T5 and just happened to do a test last weekend and was quite clear about 500m away through the trees. Dont know how much further it would go as that is the limit of the lads range at the moment - as imposed by his mum.

All depends what you want to do with the machine.

have a slightly smaller (and old) Kubota 19 HP with back actor and loader - been very useful for all sorts of things, but the digger is a bit low on power when trenching to be honest. Very versatile though for what we need from it.

Regarding the Lewis back actor, will the sub frame fit on the tractor or can it be adated if not??

salaam alekum (?) brothers - Morocco for me

Funnily enough, the only Moroccan I know would qualify as obese.

Bollocks anyway

Everybody is different, but in general I think the human body likes routine - ie go to bed at the same time every day and get up at the same time. Find if I lie in, end up feeling a bit out of it for a while.

Also, as the saying goes - early to bed, early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy and wise. Tried the staying up late and getting up late, but my body at least does not cope as well with that.

Your body will tell you what it prefers - if you listen to it!!

damn -that means I would have to buy a nice axe

I don't want to piss on his chips!

How does that translate your side of the pond ELG

Generous offer by the way

which ones are made in a longer leg (other than stretch airs)??

Attwools (?) near Gloucester do custom tarps I believe. Was going to be speaking to them ourselves to see what they can offer, but that is going to be a bit delayed now.

Pleasant all day here till the school fete was about to kick off

cest la vie

Did you empty her out of petrol before putting in the Aspen??

Aspen also recommend not chopping and changing between petrol and Aspen.

This was just general advice as I recall, so not sure about your 201T specifically.

seems quite effective on straight grained wood, but what about when the grain is not so straight or a bit knotty??

So, true. I know many 50year old 20year olds if you know what i mean.

And I know a few 20 year old 50 year olds too:thumbup1:

Good thread Charlie

Just starting out on our small patch and finding the links useful

give her a bit of the agave nectar - the right dose should take care of the fear of flying :-)

thanks Big J

Someone heard your plea and we had quite a pleasant day out, round our way at least :-)

love to do something like that

Is this related to the 'Explore the ancient trees of Africa 2013 expedition' I have noticed on a number of members titles?

I thought it was fairly realistic, insofar as a simulation made for a tv show can be. The myth was that a snapping cable would cut a person in half, the conclusion was that it would probably kill you with the impact and internal injuries, but wont cut you in half.

That would be my general comment of having seen a number of reports - again this is marine based. Most cases I recall seem to have resulted in significant internal trauma rather than amputations. Mind you, we are talking about large wires, often with large lumps of metal in the form of sockets or hard eyes attached.

From my experience, at sea and ashore, too many people also are far to brave/thoughless about where they stand in relation to snap back zones!!

I'd put money on damaged rope. The winch has a horrid habit of crushing its wire on the drum fraying the strands. Normally eats a cable a year.

Having seen the state of the wires a lot of people continue to use, its surprising there are not a lot more incidents

I'll have a mooch. I'd imagine trawlers and the like are undergoing unknown and varying forces?

Indeed and ever changing as well
