one of the hardest working labs i have come across,

We as the human race have mined coal,salt, dimonds ,gold, iron, lead and many other minerals we have drilled for oil and gas we have dug massive holes in the earths crust called quarry,s and then filled them full of our waste, all these things we have done, which at the time we thought was a good idea called progress have caused even bigger problems later down the line, sink holes subsidence and mass pollution, one of the latest big isues is plastic pollution we have filled the oceans with it, and if any of you so the program on tv called drowning in plastic and if you did,nt see it watch it as it was one massive eye opener in to what we are doing to our planet, as the human race we will destroy our self,s along with the planet as well, so may be moving to another planet dosent seem such a mad idea at times,,,,,

Global warming, climate change, sciencetists, and Dr of science and a professor what are they ????? global warming has all ways been here and all ways will ? its just that some bright spark who gets paid a lot of money for doing not a lot once noticed it and mentioned it in parliment, so that gave them all some thing to talk about for weeks months and now years, i once had a phone call from Greenpeace and they asked me if i would like to contribute to saving the Polar ice cap, i asked how are we going to do that, are we going to go to Currys and buy a shed load of freezers and take them up there and plug em in and leave the doors open? i all so pointed out that about 2 million years ago 60% of europe was covered in ice, but it ain,t now so when did global warming start ? Climate change again all ways been here and all ways will, but we as human beings are contributing to it every day and one thing that i cant really understand is RHI payments ? there is one bloke in the goverment handing out money generally to people who have plenty of money to start with, if you put these boilers in and burn wood we will pay well you to do it and we will call it the renewable heat incentive, because i have some forms and i need to tick some boxes, then sat across from him in parliment is another bloke and he is banging on about global warming, both are being paid to do a job but one is creating something for the other to sort out,?, do they really no what they are doing ?, scientists and Dr,s, in my view a scientist is some one who has read a few books and learnt a bit (generally a load of shite) then do a exam or 2 and get a degree ( measurment of heat or incline) the ony thing they know is what has been found all ready, proberbly the most famouse sieentist of all was Izak newton who invented gravity but that was and had all ways been there,? Dr is some one you go and see when your ill and a sterling job they do, but we have these other Dr,s like a Dr of science or a Dr of engineering now in my book these are what i call a Dr of fuck all because they arnt much good if your ill, top and bottom of it is not a lot of them know much and do even less in there working day, abck in the early 70s the osmonds had a hit with crazy horses, at the time it was thought to be about people taking LSD and pot heads smoking crack etc BUT it was,nt it was about american cars all being v6 & v8s and little mpg and the emmissions they created but no one took any notice and again in the 70s it was mentioned in a episode of Rising damp about deoderant spays making a hole in te ozone layer and the same issue was later mentioned in a episode of Poridge with the late great Ronnie Barker. So where does that leave us ? to some it up, up shit creak with out a paddle big time, as soon as the Goverment of not only the UK but all countrys start learning to comunicate with each other in there respected places and start to work together things may happen, and the perfect example of how things are run and organised is whats going on with Brexit how long does it take, i would say NOT long if your know what your doing, as many other people say are goverment are about as much use as a windsreen wiper on a submarine, and Brexit is that not what happens when a big fat lass from Barnsley sits in a plasstic patio chair,

stihl expert helmet for me and just replaced my boots with some meindl wood walkers but they need softening up some how just a bit on the stiff side at the moment, not whereing them every day yet still using old ones a couple of days a week and they are a pair of stihl rangers had them since sept 2013 and just started to fall apart in last few months but they are so comfy ok not worn every day but i would say 60-70% of the time and the soles are still in good condition with loads of tread left but hardly see tarmac or concrete just on the woodland floor most of the time,

if i was only closer ????

if your grabbing hold of trees of that size i would be a bit warey of the zero swing, as a guy who i have worked with on and off for 30 odd years was dead set on a zero swing 13/14 tonne machine with front blade untill he went for a demo on 2 different machines and took his crushing bucket, ok bucket is nearly a tonne and holds about 1/2 tonne but when slewing round with a bit of reach on he said it was very unstable when side on, so he ended up with a 13 tonne normal dooson,

we do a fair bit for one of the UKs major forestry co and one of our tasks is clearing windblown that is over boundry fences/walls a few of the farmers we have got to know well and when we go and ask if its ok to access the trees from there land they allways ask what are you doing with the wood, and can we have it, so we leave it on there side of the fence/wall which saves us chucking it back over and there are piles of timber still there that we left over 10 years ago that are just about compost now,

there is several addverts like this on f book and other sites they are truely taking the piss, one add read very large oak tree that i want removing from the bottom of my garden main trunk is 40 inch in diameter so exellent for making something out of, i would like someone to take tree down and remove trunk and the small branches in exchange for this very valubable piece of timber as i would like to keep the log wood for my fire, tree must be 200 year old and weigh in excess of 20 tonne, one guy i know went for a look and tree was about 40 cm not inches rotten at the base and full of nails where some kids had had a tree house in it, to remove was up a incline of about 20 degrees on a lawn for approx 25 mtr then a flight of 8 steps then round to the front, this is about 3 yr ago hence the tree is still there when john looked at said tree he explained that it was of no value to any 1 and gave him a price of £600 to remove was told it was to expensive, unfortunatly this is what we have to deal with at times,

that will be a lot of money to spend on that set up and to justifie that investment i would say you need 1 years work not just 1 job in the summer, you have a decent tractor and winch all ready we had a small sky line set up on a job with our little kubota and 4.2tonne igland with a haul back line wich made the job much eaiser than up and down a banking dragging a heavey winch cable OR can you not hire some one in with the kit to help you out on this one it would be far cheaper and when job is done you have no maintaince or up keep of machine, we hired a tracked tractor in on a job i was so amazed at what we could do with it i very nearly bought one, and glad i did,nt now as it would of only been used on 1 other job a i cant justifie that,

as woody says, and if that fails if it is sticking in the same place it may be a bent ram, ??

last few times i have been in old Dick is in the back counting all his money and his lad just wants to sell me a husky which will never happen with me, lads i work with who use huskys seem to be all ways fixing them and its not as if they are old saws either,

yep i agree with that the old 260 bomb proof along with the early 261, then it all went sadly wrong, 1 lad who works with us bought a new 261 in 2015 4 month old in for a rebuild then again 5 months after the first rebuild then another 4 months and it was in again so he said fuck it after that, but the new ones are a different saw they feel better balanced and seem alot more zippier,

the latest 261 has been vastly improved, saws from about mid 2017 where vastly improved on balance ,handling performance and reliabilaty with the needle roller, had one for nearly 12 months now and no issues what so ever and its not as if it is sat in a van all day or at the side of a chipper because its not its working if a forestry enviroment as a de limbing saw when we are felling edge trees its just done a 5 week stint along with a 461 and been useing 7-8 ltrs of fuel a day between both saws .

yes i have been on the cabbage and collie as well and things a starting to move a bit now, will be at storm force by about half eight,,,,

yes heard that one myself it will have more issues yet as well,,

some poor tree surgeons van proberbly,,,

i bet it was stolen ????

NO i am going to keep your 460 instead, ??????????

i think that could be the man was with him on a FISA refresher last thurs and it just made me think twice about getting a 462 after i heard that, but the thing that piss,s me of is that in august i bought a 2017 461 of a lad that would of not had 5 ltrs of fuel through and sold it with in an hour of owning it and now i wish i had,nt,

Well i just dont see the point of arguments like this, when 99% of the people stating what will cut what and what saw will be best when they have never seen one yet alone used one, i just see it as stihl and husky competing with each other, for me its the old school toys as the more technolagie that goes in to saws the more time they will spend in a workshop when they go wrong, i was thinking about a 462 but having second thoughts now after spending last thursday with a lad who has had one since last may, ok revs its nuts off cuts well but has blown the bottom end out all ready, 8 wk with out it and from what he said its a 362 bottom end and i allways under stood if you more power through something you should uprate some moving parts ?, i see trouble ahead captain, for me its 461 660 but i do have a old 460 that i used yesterday first time for a while and it seems to be better than the newish 461 i own,now weather the 460 has been played with i dont know but the 460 461 & 660 i can fix myself 462 ? and 500i i dont think so and it will be some time before the stihl mechanics get up to speed on repairing them, and its got a primmer bulb just like a ryobi or a bag of shit saw out of B&Q, thats going backwards to me and something else to go wrong, so to top it off i just dont see the point of buying the new modles till they have been out some time like 2 or 3 years but some lads will buy them as soon as they hit the dealers just to say they have one, and sorry but its these lads who are going to be saying either best saw i have ever had or biggest bag of shit i ever bought, lets see what happens,

i dont know what it is,? but there is something about older women, i can remember when i was at school (about 2 years ago) we had 3 student teachers in one year and the 2 female ones where drop dead, the morning chat in the yard before we went in for registeration was all ways about the 2 female teachers and what we would of done with then and we would of showed them a good time, what a load of bollox we talked about then, if owt would of happened we would of run a mile, one of these teachers went on to a full time position and taught me,my kids and of late my oldest grand son for his first year till she retired, i still find her attractive and i see her quite often either in supermarket or in the pub all ways stops and chats and looks good for her age and yes i would do, when we are in the pub and we look round and the best looking women are in there 40s 50s & 60s it says alot about todays society and what acctivaties the younger generations take part in, eating drinking telly and basically doing fuck all, and yes your bum does look big in that short dress because you have git a big bum,,,

there is a new,ish housing estate just round the corner from me and at 8,20am its like MILF & GILF ,com with mums and grandmas taking kids down to meet school bus and then the dog walking starts and one lady in particular who must be either or very near 70 but you would not think so 50-55 may be but her daughter who is coming up 50 in may is the same looks about 35-40 and then there,s her 2 daughters one in her mid 20s and the other one about 19-20 ish all tall slim long legs and very very attractive, they all walk the same dog stop and chat, and last summer was a treat for me with all of them with shorts,short skirts and them strapy tops, and yes i would and if it was all 4 of them it would,nt happen the thought of it would be to much and, it would be over before it begun (quote Kevin bloody Wilson)

About 34 & 3/4s so your nearly there ? your showing some serious signs all ready with radio 3 & 4 along with classic fm but if i was you i would of definatly keep,t my mouth shut about the Archers ? you will be getting a season ticket for the doctors next and having your own chair in the waiting room,,,,

cant see how that works ? i have a ifor trailer with cage sides that holds 4cubic mtrs of split logs but when i bring that trailer back to yard full of rings and then split rings up i get 5-6 ibc cages of split logs, so my volume goes up once rings are split but that will do as you have just increased the air gaps.
