    Must sneak a peak at Dad's 45 year old, and could be nearer 50 year old (me now being 55) Remington saw. An absolute pig to start when hot from recall. Still sitting in the back of the feed bench, somewhere. M

    I meant exactly what I said and said exactly what I meant. Children are NOT perfect, neither are dogs. I saw our 20 odd year old daughter get "bit" 0n the face, by our rescue Lab/Rottie cross. Frightened the excrement out of her. And left her with a bruised cheek, and a small cut(caught with the end of a tooth) Seriously. BUT She had foolishly choosen to creep up and surprise him, not realizing how deeply he was sleeping. By blowing "BOO" in his ear. An involuntary reaction on the dogs part. The dog actually looked mortified when he realized what he had done. Smaller children can be equally foolish, ANY family dog I have ever known, will first verbally warn = growl, then retreat or back away if poss, it may then possibly snap or nip. THIS does not mean it is attacking the child:001_rolleyes: m

    Any dog will be perfectly safe with children, as long as it knows its place in the pack. To my mind a JR would be perfect, and indeed, it may well nip a child, but only if the child deserves it and persists. Do NOT see the short legs as a drawback.

    I remember seeing a very simply arrangment of a 45 gall drum, mounted on an old wheelbarrow chassis, with the side cut away, but the drum lying on its back, with pickaxe sized holes in the bottom. Being used to burn vinyard prunings, very simple and effective, the ash simply sifting out through the holes in the bottom when it was moved.

    Cept I ernestly, and not unreasonably, believe that those who constantly work among sources of infection, WILL develop, with the aid of the "jabs" and then retain an immunity.

    Agric machine at £0.0, is how our larger road registered mowers are designated. complete with lights and a Reg No. Ditto the Avant also. Despite us not being an agricultural operation.

    yes is "lockjaw" mostly in my mind associated with gardening accidents. but Requires a deep puncture wound, without bleeding, for the bacteria to be able to remain in-situ and thrive in the absence of atmospheric oxygen, as I seem to recall.

    Strangely enough, my own conclusion, savour the moment and move on, though a few well choosen family group photographs will probably be appreciated by future generations. "snapshots in time" like the one of my father and his brother binding corn some time in the late 1950's or early 60's. very very strange seeing them both in their absolute physical prime, complete with "Teddy Boy" hair cuts. Poinent I suppose.

    Well per a glossy "Banksy" hagiology I perused in Waterstones years ago. Yes he was. And carefully protected his art and its material worth. A master showman manipulating the ever gullible public. Right on Comrade!

    You are still screwed if the timber owner has already sold the timber, perhaps for upfront cash. Then your fight is with the guy hauling it away.

    Funny how that Banksy bloke, who was very fond of saying and spraying "All property is theft", has a fortune safely squirrled away and keeps the location of, his no doubt decrepit slum type, dwelling quite secret.

    Hmm, So to "perm" this idea with another thread. Mount the "boring bar" spindle to the chainsaw bar. Then Bore a chainsaw bar dia hole down as far as poss. Then nick a few verticle saw cuts to allow the air in. Or just simpler to multiple cut from the top

    Coleraine area in 2007-2008 £3,000,000.00/Acre Cos a bloke I know was dicked for about 40% of an assessed £50,000,000.00 valuation. In death duties as a result of an Uncles and then his fathers death within months of other. It is about 15 acres of marginal farmland surrounding the farmhouse his family has owned a few generations. Now surrounded by urban sprawl. But will never be sold for development, by the current owner at least. It merely being the land that was always there. GULP!

    I like Ash trees (and i believe/understand Ash trees were venerated in Irish history ) I have planted ash, I will continue to plant Ash, transplanted seedlings, some grotesque in shape due to a harsh start in their life(per WRSNI's comments) Some will live, some will die(hopefully not all) Those that possess the necessary fluke of genetic inheritence to survive the Ash die-back, may well be the stunted malformed stock, which may well be part of the necessary genetic mix. But hopefully even these bent and twisted survivors will "throw" good clean Ash stock in the future. Evolution being all about surviving, then the inevitable genetic mutations can perhaps succeed in the "new paradim" Since that is how nature works. Marcus

    :thumbup: New, akin to a Silky type saw in sharpness, as one of my knuckels too well knows:blushing: oops really REALLY want a 30" blade for a long lazy effortless cut, using every 1" of the available blade. Less wasted reversing effort for any given amount of cutting.

    Should not be a problem at all. Depending on the line speed,(ie the gear ratio used) it may not be fit to pull the rated amount, but it will certainly work, 100% As long as it physically fits the tractor. OK Quite a large winch, but presumably within the 3 point capabilities of the tractor. Though probably able to winch in, far more than the tractor can carry and drag.

    came home at 12:00, fire near out in the Morso stove, a fist sized lump of conifer only left with a few embers glowing thereon. Fished a lump of bone dry Elm out from the back corner, behind the stove, about 6" in dia by about 300mm long, placed on the embers, cocked the door open, until the embers flared back into life. Closed the door up, came back 7.5 hrs later, room still warm, opened door and a fist sized lump of ember containing Elm still present. loaded up with split conifer chunks, left the door cracked open, and inside 2 mins a roaring fire once more. I wish we had more Elm.

    I have seen somewhere comments about IW type over-run brakes not working in reverse, with the result that they have dragged the towing vehicle backwards down a steep hill, after forward/upward momentum has been lost. But surely if one smartly engages reverse and bangs the telescopic coupling up tight, it should bring the trailer brakes on (on the "over-run") and then hold parked on the hill. Though with less braking efficency than if moving forwards? is this correct?
