This is great. You're thinking about it. Have another look at the 16mm rope section of your deliberations. It has a minimum breaking strain of 40kN. How might you arrive at a working load limit or safe working load for it? Walk me through it like I know nothing. And you were talking about a 100kg top. Remember that if you've got a 100kg load hanging on one side of a ring, you've also got 100kg the other side of the ring too, on your portawrap or whatever. So you're not putting 100kg on the ring and deadeye (and rigging point). You're putting 200kg on it. And that's only statically. It's more force if snatched (do you know how much more force potentially btw?). And that's on both sides of the ring still. A 100kg top is a huge top btw. We can do the sum later. Get your ring and deadeye capacity worked out first.

Just dug these up from 4’x4’ in the tunnel. Leaves spent most of the time swamped by collapsed tomato plants. No earthing up. Can’t even remember what I put in to start them but it won’t have been much. What a result.

OK. Show your working.

kram doesn’t need to guess. kram can work it out and tell me with surety and confidence.

What’s the working load limit in that configuration for your use?

Nice. I've just survived the second night of a form of chilli that I'm half expecting to give me botulism. A couple of years ago, I boiled some in sugar, salt and vinegar and put it in old jars. Having run out of convenient chilli last night, I opened one of these jars to find rust on the inside of the lid. My senses immediately tingled. This is the thing everyone warns about, badly canned food. Fck them. Fck you. Fck me. I put twice the normal amount in and cooked it lower. Let's do this.

Yeah, I'm not going to do that every day. It's fine on vibes etc though. Impressive machine really. Apart from this monstrously bad running on. And I mean bad. Like quarter throttle easily. Wasted loads of effort dragging the chain to a stop on wood and using the chain brake unnecessarily. Not to mention it's horrendously dangerous if you don't have your wits about you. Where you'd normally gribble through the last inch of cut so the chain has already stopped when it drops into space, you now have to worry about it picking back up to quarter or third throttle. You're effectively stood there with a machine gun that's stuck firing unless you want to abuse the chain brake.

Doesn't feel like it and the saw generally doesn't do much work so is in good nick. Will check though.

Still haven't got this sorted. I did 52 tonnes of firewood over two days this week with it and it ran on extremely badly but with no other ill effects. Yesterday it was screaming through ash for 9 hours on a 13" bar. And I don't mean cutting a bit then letting it idle while I walked somewhere. I mean a digger put wood in front of me and I was barely out of the cut for hours on end (bar fuelling). 14 litres of mix. If there was something as fundamentally wrong as an air leak, it would have melted. It was in a pro workshop last week for the cutting out thing (fixed - a bullet connector was loose at a solenoid) and he said he couldn't see anything else wrong with it. I think it's the electronics. Felt a bit like a throttle position sensor playing up because a fractional squeeze on the trigger often slowed it down. Does a 661 have a throttle position sensor?

I am but he is anyway. He's so boorish and base. Flicking fag ends off high heights like it's somehow funny. Strutting round with that anaemic antique hooter because he's in charge. Six vowels in every word. Every sentence somehow profound or you're an idiot for not being on board. Cult of not much personality.
-
Wouldn't like to put him on the spot. He'll chime in if he wants to.
-
Someone on here used to work for him. I think he's dreadful.
-
It's spelled whorethorn btw.
-
No use for trees but worth asking the question.
-
Tell us about him, Mick. What's his name? What colour are his eyes? Does everything seem just a bit more possible when he's around?
-
Didn’t occur to me until the evening. Matey says no poison down. Didn’t grill him about anything else. The more I think about it, the more I think it was just a coincidence. He’s been fine all day today. The brief conk-out last night must have just been he was asleep or not bothered to greet me. I could have avoided this entire worry episode with just a lower opinion of myself. Moving on. How do you put a visi vest on a dog? I stuffed the arm holes over his head in a hurry but I suspect he could wear it in a human fashion.
-
For you then. Give him a clipboard. It’ll be a saucy little role reversal. Who knows what it could stir.
-
Trailer reversing practice?

Concentration? Boots? Syringe it straight down his gullet?

Minor panic with Sailor last night. Came home from a day patrolling a new yard. Had his dinner. Threw it up. It happens. Then dawned on me he might have eaten god knows what around this place. Rat poison, antifreeze, fertiliser etc. Looked at him before bed and he was pretty non responsive. Picked up his head and it was dead weight. Fuuhhhck. Snapped him out of it, got him up and got him to follow a torch round. Just about. Briefly considered emergency vet or whether I have the bits and pieces round the house to make a dialysis machine. Held off on both not wanting to act like a hysterical first time parent. Anyway. He wasn’t dead from organo phosphates or whatever this morning. Relief.

I don’t think we need a lunchbox thread but enjoy the spectre of gnawed cheese and chorizo, served against a van bulkhead. Rosemary biscuits. Still recommend very, very highly.

Four reel ends of Marlow three strand from FR Jones made me the man I am today.
