  1. Not surprising, theft of and metal is still up however since the cops turned the charges into Felony's many of the thief's are in the pokie where they belong. Although new housing is way down about 4 years ago it was not uncommon for entire new homes to be stripped of all wire with a long rope attached to the pig tail leading out to the main service. Within in a matter of seconds 50 to 80 K $$$ lost, builder/bank left holding the repair job. More than the wire came out and down the road they all went. elg
  2. Wow, The expression I use here in the states "As tough as pulling hens teeth" sounds like it's origins are from your quoted expression. When really describing a tough task at hand I use this expression. I did read a while back ago about the mutant chickens I believe from Asia as well. Glad we got that all sorted out. elg
  3. I am not sure about Ducks having teeth but chicken's do and if you were a dentist you would understand how hard it is when "pulling hens teeth!". elg
  4. Folks, Take as many pictures of your equipment and any serial numbers or other forms of ID and keep all of this information safe and secure just for situations like this. elg.

    Norway

    On second thought maybe just exile to a deserted island somewhere in the Pacific. Think of it as a nice permanent stay away. The problem with lunatics is they will continue to be who and what they are regardless how nice you are to them. elg

    Deport the balance of the ones responsible for such an act. Hope that clears that up. elg

    Norway

    May the citizens of Norway now have the courage to seek out and punish all responsible and deport the balance from their lands. For the family's and friends of the injured and dead from this horrible act I shall say a Rosary for them tonight, may god bless their souls. elg
  8. With Great power comes great Responsibility; Ben Parker. Amy Winehouse I believe made her decision a long time ago about the future of her life. She did not choose wisely. May the Solider who lost his life in combat RIP and my deepest condolences for his family/friends. The people of Norway have suffered a terrible loss at the hands of Terrorist willing to kill if someone is deported. These people never had a chance esp. the campers who's hopes and dreams were all wiped clean. I understand how numb the people of Norway feel at the moment and also the selective reporting the news media will continue since for the most part they to have sold their souls along time ago. elg
  9. Wish I could have been there in the flesh, I will leave the rest for my memories of growing up in the Maryland/Penn, USA elg
  10. Please provide additional pic's and video, tell him your working on a documentary! elg

  12. I concur with woodpicker and most everyone else for reasons already stated. I am just wondering about your own reasons for this activity during your 1st Trimester? Will you be able to increase your own self esteem by attempting this?, ego, or some other reasons? More curious than any thing else. I wish you the best. Take care and be safe. elg
  13. I have had customers ask for a senior citizen discount after the price has been agreed to, with the mean age of about 80 around these parts I tell them it's included and then they ask me I don't see it on my invoice?. I do offer discounts for product when I do Trade shows and the customer usually is compliant, others still want to play the game or get a rise out of you. "Some customers like trees need more training than others". Like billy said welcome to the world of self employment. elg
  14. 6 to 8 lbs of C4 100' of Det Cord, proper placement of both and have a nice bond fire with all the pieces left over. elg
  15. chainsaw1: I hope your equipment is recovered. Might I suggest a visit to my thread means and methods of protecting your kit from theft, It may help with the recovery and help prevent future losses. elg
  16. Create a web-page the printed means of advertising is going away and since I have read about the Yellow pages going as well? Now would be a good time. It is not very expensive and I am sure you can get plenty of help from people in the buis. from ArbTalk elg
  17. Xerxses, FYI I believe you ment to say Jesse Jackson. Just to note The likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are know as Poverty Pimps here in America. Collectively they have done more to continue to destroy race relations here in the USA than the KKK ever could. Just to let you also know Jesse Jackson was never VP of the USA. You may have been mistaken about that but if he was introduced as such it can be chalked up as another lie of many told by this despicable ruthless person. elg
  18. Thanks for the tip Yew, I believe it will be a Winter project, to hot at the moment! elg.
  19. Two of the Nine High Jacker's from 911 lived 2 miles from my office in Venice, FL. USA. They kept a low profile and learned to fly from a local flying service in the same town. One of my dealers was questioned by the FBI since he remembered them visiting his shop before the attack. Since they were living in town for some time it was entirely possible that I could have met them in public?. They were trained killers on a path of destruction ready willing and able to do what they did. IMO they were not "Freedom Fighters". They were Terrorist plain and simple. What they accomplished in the short term only will in time lead to their over all demise. God Bless America and all of it's allies willing to defend and protect it's land and it people from this pox upon the free world. elg
  20. yew please keep us posted I have a tree next door about 80' tall with a trunk at the base of at least 30". Would love to take down some day and work with the trunk. elg
  21. Natalie, Might I suggest reading my thread means and methods of protecting your kit from theft. It may help prevent future losses. I do hope you recover your lost chipper. elg
  22. hang in there pyro mind your peas and ques and no I have never heard of 2 cycle being used for bar oil. elg
  23. Sorry my number 1 has only seen this done one other time and alas he can't remember he shall only receive 10 lashing for the effort. elg
