Next week then Kriss. . .

The Herons certainly think so! Rainbow trout are still alive after 4 years, despite said Herons. Frogs also well established, ditto. And a pair of wild duck drop in from time to time. Plus bats of an evening. And all, literally on our doorstep. Like 15m from the garden room. Mth

Prob about 40 years old, and the block of 7 slices has probably started to leak(or it could be the main lift ram seals) Regardless I was in the notion of leaving the 2 outrigger legs on the stripped down block of slices, while putting the other 5 functions on 2 new joystick control valves. Only I can't, since there will be 1 too many. So, do I use a button on the joystick with a 6 port solinoid valve to split between the rotator and grab , and what is the best way to pair the services. Main boom and dipper arm on one?. With the slew and rotater on the other, plus the grab on a button? Or how? Marcus

Sitting with a bottle of Titanic Plum porter, which is going down near as fast as the Titanic did. With these views, while the wife prepares lunch.

Ah! Ah bin forced to start eating my hat. Since after sharpening my already sharp chain(as he blushes), this Ash fair cuts like butter Sur! Oops!

I wonder is tractor cab glass now laminated as standard, could this cause buyers or users to imagine they do not need guarding?

I was really surprised at how hard I was having to work the saw(and I will be fettling the chain, despite the my eye telling me the teeth were all undamaged and the ball of my thumb telling me the teeth were still plenty sharp) to make progress. But in conscience I am used to cutting shitty Sitka Spruce. P S. What is the min dia/size of Ash to be worth milling? And what thickness to mill at? A pity some of the better bits were dropped in 4 and 5 foot lengths. But since not for structural use, no real odds? Cheers all, Marcus

Or so I conclude. Only Ash too. But I notice a wile difference. And the chain is sharp enough. P.S. A big stump for me.

That would obviously depend on the details in ones fathers will . . .

Those robot mowers are a work of genius, razor sharp blades cutting only millimeters off the tips, with no arisings to be seen, and it does not matter if the grass is wet. Simply genius.

My frogs are still fornicating in honour of St.Patrick. They even get all dressed up in green for the occassion. I suspect this has not changed for centuries. Ramble over.

See, descrimination actually has positive attributes. Like why most people would prefer driving a BMW to a Dacia, or live in the Cotswolds instead of Middlesborough, or eat fillet steak instead of manky frozen burger meat. And not racism per se. rather a balanced judgement or assessment of the likely compatibility of the 99% young fighting age males unlikely to want to work crossing the channel in rubber dingies sans families within wider UK society vis-a-vis the families with children sans the fighting age males coming from the Ukraine. Other European counteries have already made the same balanced decisions.

Double post.

Not sure how to mill it. Probably best to take it to a local guy who does such stuff. Except my old DB 1490 is not really fit to be out in public! For the 4 mile run down a main road/bypass. Despite being comprehensively insured.

Had to get these felled due to Ash dieback and since they were hanging out over the road and fibre optic cables, so despite being wile tempted to fell them myself I got a professional in. Going to try and do something with the biggest straightest butt. Anyway the amusement was in getting it onto the log trailer. Used the winch obviously. And 650/700mm by 3600mm long at 1.28/M3(per this forum)=2 tonne. Pics. Apologies, no idea how that snippet o video got in there! VID_20220317_155944279.mp4 VID_20220317_155944279.mp4

But our house, and many like it, are built on sticky, slippery when wet, impermeable glacial outwash clay . . .

I have perused verious threads relating to tree related(alledgedly!)subsidence and heave, yet here in N Ireland, insofar as I am aware, it is unheard of. Guessing it is always so wet over here that the trees can never extract enough moisture to cause these issues. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

What do the 3 engines drive, each couple to a particular machine?, all driving a common line shaft?(hows that for "back to the future technology"?)or do some/all of them drive 3Ph generators? More details please. mth

The Grenadier team do appear to have focussed on the engineering integrity of their suppliers, rather than the price, with BMW engines and transmissons, Steyr transfer box and I believe Carraro axles. I might have been better to pre-order one, than watching our available funds wither away due to rampant inflation! But when I finally** get the 1999 290GD Steyr Puch lovingly restored, it will probably be an even better investment for the remainder of my driving life. **She is "booked in" with a very busy very reputable local accident repair guy, who due to a combination of hip operations, lack of staff and priority accident repair work is snowed under. P.S. What has driven the loss and lack of mechanics and spray shop guys, since over here all the local garages/spray-shops say that cannot retain or recruit staff this couple of years.

Sutton, I appreciate your understanding, and it was "wile younger in cheek" o me, seeing as a canny spel for toffee, being somewhat dyslexic mesel. An tha Ulster Scots background "dinny" help like. Cheers, Marcus. EDIT: "Wile younger in cheek" were intended to be "wile tongue in cheek" DERP! Pot-kettle-black.

Might be safer down the Ukraine than on here at the mo.

Who is going to pay for all this "free" stuff?

Ah, Just ponder your last paragraph perhaps.

It came through a state school a wile lot o years ago. It was shite, with older dispirited disinterested teachers. I then went to the local Tech which was much better. But, having subscribed to some building trades architectural magazine for a number of years and reading of all the brand new "state of the art new schools(which all had to have "pods" and super sophisticated heating systems) replacing relatively new but ill maintained schools at great cost. And knowing in the local community of such horrendously expensive and unneeded building works, never mind first hand knowledge of the deliberate scrapping and skipping of perfectly serviceable desks and such stuff, just so that the budget could be spent on new stuff before the year end. The state system can NEVER compete with the private sector. And my wife taught in the state sector, and despaired at the lack of educational rigour, Union values( the purpose of a school is to employ and pay teachers, not educate pupils as might be imagined!) and uncaring attitudes towards the pupils. Plus promotion of arse lickers who ticked all the correct PC boxes, regardless of their merits as a teacher. Cheers
