Keep up the good work Israel.

Look up "Lodar". I imagine that was the brand name I found when musing about converting my electro hydraulic winch to RR op. P S. My email just received a message from whatevwr firm dies "Tyro" remotes.

Oops, Is that to say, that there is no point paying more for the Metabo GG. Or, the Milkuee one is 100% as good as it gets?

I was unaware these battery adaptors even existed WP. Guessing they let one run a physically different battery mount system, as long as the voltage is right? Yes? Thanks.

Was in the local commercial motor factors getting a few bits and bobs, and while I waited, I saw a Metabo 18V grease gun sitting on display. £185.00 + VAT And I already got some Metabo 18V stuff already. But no other cordless stuff at all. However the Milwalkui stuff is significently cheaper, but I would need to buy an additional Milwalkui charger and battery. And the Milwalkui range of stuff is fantastic. . . So any thoughts as to which brand makes the better grease gun? P.S. Spent some time recently looking for a third hand to (i) hold, (ii) pump and (iii) keep the end correctly aligned wi the grease nipple. And was thinking, man ah need a cordless GG. Edit To add they were able to cross ref the original Korean Deadong? hydraulic filter fir the Kioti. I was rather impressed.

Well I bought the wife a Magimix Cook Expert, wi the cocotte thrown into the deal, for Christmas, in the Jan sales. And she is like a lamb wi two tails. Makes a perfect and very visually pleasing 3lb loaf every time, dough prepped in the Magimix CE, including the 2nd proving in the cocotte, then baked in the traditional oven, while still in the cocotte. Much more reliable than the Panasonic breadmaker. Pics to follow.

Hard to describe how balmy and mild and sunny it is here in North Co. Antrim. March has been an unbelievably dry and warm month. From beginning to end, with only a smirring of rain a couple of days ago. Yesterday afternoon we were in Portrush, and again staggeringly fine sunny weather, with zero biting wind Better than we experience many a summer. Might even be tempted to go skinny dipping!

Well folks, she held up well, when I caught the tip of the blade on a heavy branch, accidently like. I have found that to be the weakness with a slasher. But I rapidly concluded that the Silky saw was the tool of choice, simply reach in and snick off the offending branches. Much less effort, with total precision. And bulldoze the branches away wi the wee kioti.

The grain in this piece of hickory is a bit gnarly, and split or cracked, I freed the shaft from the ironwork the last time, prised the crack open as best possible and tried wood glue, which failed. Fingers crossed this repair is effective.

Yup! And I did glue the whipping. Going to face a thorn hedge tomorrow, just removing the spindly branches that have fallen over/out. At least I got the distance from the lane to the hedge line right, but it looked proper silly when I planted the thorn quicks.

Our ponds are full, and the first one solely from rainfall, the past 12 month the big pond has never dropped, such was the weather, unlike a couple of years ago when it dropped 2' in a dry spring. Our ground is still bloody wet underfoot, despite the searing weather.

I would actually like a spot of rain, to nail down the bone dry and mischievously behaving Beech leaves? Get off my lane!

Slasher, which I bought many many years ago, like about 40. I regret not "acquiring" an unloved billhook from the Council. They stole the slashers right left and centre. But the unloved bill hooks. Nope. Leave them in the store.

60 feet of salvaged Steel Wire Armour. 2 30 foot lengths admittedly, hence the slight discontinuity in the middle. Set on a smear of Stixall. And as smooth as a babies bottom. Fingers crossed

I would need to sound like D.T. to describe the past 10 days of weather here in N.I. and indeed Donegal last weekend. Stupendous, brilliant, magnificent, etc etc etc. Esp for mid March
