Well, come-on, I dont grab the turd, I grab the grass! Duh!

Anyone who has changed a nappy, should not have any issues with lifting dog shite. FFS, I have quite often had to pull a grass reinforced klingon from the bulldogs arse, with my bare hands. P.S. I have reason to suspect the Bulldog in question, being wor Boudica, likes the experience even less that I do.

Our Son has had his brown bin refused emptying, because fornicating dog walkers "pop" their bagged dog shite in it sitting at the kerb waiting to be emptied. Probably the same fornicator that used to flip the dog shite bag into his hedge, before I took the hedge away. Some people are simply dirty scumbags.

All I know is, having considered fitting a wet wood stove the time we built the garden room, and also considered fitting wet solar panels for DHW, is that for the tiny amount of kero we burn to provide DHW during the summer months, it simply could not be made to make economic sense. I established our daily/weekly/monthly oil consumption by wiring in a old "flick-flak" electric clock to moniter our daily boiler run times. Now for a new build, yes it would make sense to consider the options.

I have seen a couple of these advertised. I am shite at learning other languages(and having no ear for music may play a part) so this concept appeals to me(did Star Trek have such a gizmo btw?) P.S. How on earth do they deal with dialects? Artificial intelligence at work? Thoughts please. Mth

Up the Moss fetching down some Lodgepole pine, to cut and split and stack over the summer. With the resin pumping out of the stump instantly after cutting it should have extra burning value methinks! I though the old girl looked rather fetching in the first image was all. The big Ash are too good to cut up for firewood( and zero iron or other contamination that I have found, since the roadside had never ever been fenced) to be joined by more selected Ash and the better, straighter heavier lengths of Hawthorn( which is the firewood in the 3rd pic). Bonus photo. She bagged her man(aka he chased her till she caught him!), the one with the 2012 Professional G Wagen plus an OM 606 re-engined 40 year old G as a daily driver. He was the bloke that sorted my leaky injection pump(on the 461 van)that no one else would even look at btw. P.S. Any desperate fathers with unmarried daughters that might be interested in wor recently single and unmarried 31 year old Son? Marcus

I, aged 64, saw an Emperor moth for the first time in my life afaiaa earlier this week, sitting on the wall at the front door. A beauty of a thing.

Simply astounding vison and craftsmanship Andrew, making for lovely lovely furniture.

Nice looking house hiding behind the tree!

Home made organic duck egg quiche with, naturally home made Basic pesto(though the Basil was bought in Tesco's) this a couple of days ago and home made something in filo pastry today,(the beaten egg did not get enough time in the oven, but a 60 second ping per portion in the microwave sorted that out) followed by home made ice-cream,(pure Hagen Daaz quality) made with whole uncooked eggs(unfortunately bought, not the Dublin Duck eggs) Plus the daughter made several batches of devine chocolate brownies. And Senior Management is gargling down her organic Blackcurrant juice, made in the German steamer/juicer. Life is good. A few hens might be an idea.

Help needed with a 12 V wiring diagram for EH winch
difflock replied to difflock's topic in General chat
My "E" stop button got squashed years ago( I seem to recall trapped in about the rising link arms) but it simply stopped winching, or free spooling, i.e. it rendered the wired remote control effectively dead. I am also bamboozled by the use of "clutch" and "brake" as the only labels on the diagram you found. Where I think of "brake" as the default settings, with "winch" and "free spool" as the selectable options But no "winch" function is mentioned. Gibber, Mutter, 'n Twitch. But again, regardless of my continued bamboozlement, thank you a whole lot Gareth. -
Help needed with a 12 V wiring diagram for EH winch

Well, success to temperance(an ah bin aff the beer for a whole week, so a slight bearing perhaps) and a big thanks to Gareth for that circuit diagram. BUT I still needed to figure the colours of the 3 winch wires and the 3 switch wires. But since I had established the yellow wire to the winch was "common" to both winch and free-spool, it was only a 50/50 call re the brake/clutch vis a vis blue/brown, and I had remembered that the ONLY traceable wire that I had found was a short brown stub to pin 1 on the socket. So I tried that permutation. Then the switch, well try feeding the positive down the brown, knowing that it gets switched to the blue and the yellow depending on whether winching or free-spooling buttons pressed. Then temporarily disconnected the positive supply, switched on the ignition and gingerly touched the positive to the chosen pin. No sparks=GOOD Then connected it and tried the free spool button, to hear a solinoid click. =O K. Then the winch button, a subtly different click from probably? the other solinoid, double check, yes def a different click from the other solinoid. Wired all up and churned the PTO with the engine stop out, all OK. I.e. No winching! Phew. Fired her up with PTO engaged and all worked 100% I still do NOT understand how the wiring works? Must be something to do with the diodes in with the solinoids allowing for reversing the polarity without causing a dead short. Now going to label the circuit diagram with the various wire colours and staple it to the original booklet. Thanks again Gareth. -
When I stepped outside this morning at 06:00 it smelt like Spain(from 40 year old memories) I could figure it was the warm hard surfacing. It still smelt the same when I went out after breakfast.

I dont believe that yarn🤔, I mean, come-on, a Tax Inspector with a sense of humour🙄, it never happened!🤣

Help needed with a 12 V wiring diagram for EH winch

You are a star Gareth, thank you. And yes, I had rationalized that the 12V DC wiring for all basic EH forestry winches should be identical, or was prepared to gamble on it being so(with the proviso of having a pair of side cutters in my other hand) Wait out . . . -
Help needed with a 12 V wiring diagram for EH winch

Gareth, I knew where the paperwork was from when I purchased the winch, the unblemished booklet has oodles of unneeded advice about all kinds of nonsense, but NO wiring diagram. I searched the internet and Youtube, but all I got was adverts for forestry winches and wiring diagrams for 12V electric winches. The wife had no better luck. I emailed Jas P's, and unfortunately I did not think to ph them earlier today. Cheers, mth -
An astoundingly sunny hot hot hot afternoon here today.

Help needed with a 12 V wiring diagram for EH winch

Indeed Gareth, and I have long pondered the benefits of wireless operation, since this has been only one of a few mishaps with the trailing wire of the remote.(but n o t r e a l l y helpful😁!) Though this is the first time I lost how the wires were connected.(And if I go wireless I WILL lose the remote!) And, while I just finally sorted out a plausible looking wiring diagram and wired it and got it to work without any dead shorts, and it worked, but it does NOT work correctly, in that ok, it will start winching on the button, but NOT stop when the winch button is released, OOPS! requiring the free spool button to be pressed to stop winching, Phew! AND then the free spool stays "on", even after the button is released, which it should not do. so an "EITHER/OR" mode of operation. Hmmmm . . . -
I dropped a wee tree(really, it was) on my Krpan EH winch today(my first rusty outing in 2 years is my excuse) Anyway I pulled ALL the wires out of the 7 pin plug/socket where the power supply from the tractor connects to the winch solenoids via the switch. And I will be buggered if I can suss it out. I know how to get it to work by touching/connecting the power directly to the 3 wires that go to the 2 solinoids.. But cannot fathom how to wire the switch to achieve the this effect. Anybody want to volunteer a wiring schematic. Thanks in anticipation. Brilliant days weather here btw. Gibber, mutter 'n twitch I just realized where I may have erred, fingers crossed

No, first a Dojo, who was also a builder, then a rough as f . . .plasterer, then f.... knows as she works her way down the food chain. I gleefully suspect that in her and the brothers local community(since they have lived all their lives in the same small town) the word is out and nobody sane would touch her. But it must be tough for the 2 secondary school age children.

The brothers accountant advised him to put his two rental houses in his wifes name, for tax purposes. Then she cashed him in. Mind you it was the best 200k he ever spent.

I keep telling myself that the exercise is good for me, every time I rehandle timber that I already handled multiple times. Though having the ever-so-small ever-so-decrepit 40+ year old forestry trailer to lift, transport and stack that pile of timber was much appreciated. My limited cycling this past 18 months also told a positive tale since I was not huffing and puffing like other years I started on the firewood prep regime. Cheers Marcus

Pics, I should have left the pile another year by rights and dragged more Sitka and Lodgepole down from the Moss to cut split bundle and leave to dry over the summer, before stocking the shed, but hey-ho. Hawthorn, going in at about 25% a few nearer 30, and a couple of outliers that read 35. But it can lie in the shed until winter after next as I have room for more than 2 years firing. I will split the heavier(and wetter) stuff and leave in billet bundles outside the rest of the summer.
