  1. How did you find the RCW?
  2. Tricky tree.
  3. Can’t see why not but I’m no expert. You won’t cut the last 8 or so inches if there’s a stump in the way. It’ll be unpleasant going uphill.
  4. It looks like JFDI again. Thanks, consultants. Have you bought that lovely pickup yet, peds? P.S. Sailor's colour is blue. It shows up better on the screen too. He hasn't turned blue in a medical sense if that was your worry.
  5. Are you milling uphill or threading the bar through each cut?
  6. Is it the PD engine? If so, any problems?
  7. The irony being that run around Passats with the aforementioned PD do call for special oil. A mate has had a couple of the engines in other cars and says it does matter
  8. Hush now. It's been good to me.
  9. I once thought I might want to get into this micro forestry. I went and saw one of these in action and walked behind it as it did a collection cycle. Christ, I was bored watching it once. Shelved that idea fairly fast.
  10. Gotcha. Cheers.
  11. What were the attempted cons?
  12. **************** government. You're in charge of you.
  13. I assume you were joking but wouldn't it be lovely if you actually did it and people just knew you'd be early/late depending on the season. They'd go out of their way to have the bag in the cup as you arrived to show how on the ball they were.
  14. Yep. You've worked it out. Rent kills it. Half arsing it kills it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Landlord's_Game
  15. North Korea used to do that. PT - Pyongyang time. It can be peds time now.
  16. Or something to do with hunting.
  17. Is there something you can temporarily invest in every year? Buy a few grand of fuel while you're making the money; burn it or sell it while you're not. Gold? Lead? There must be some kind of financial instrument available between two legal personalities? One is a tree contacting business. The other is a payroll business. Or a workshop business you sell welding gas to in the summer that uses it in the winter. There's your answer, Traktordoktor AS.
  18. It's bloody ridiculous. Solidarity. I tried resisting. Left all the house clocks on normal time (which the man sets too but it has to be something) but phones, computers etc all change themselves.
  19. Never heard that expression. Does it mean to spend a lot or work a little so as to break even or only make (show) a modest profit?
  20. JFDI. That’s marketing right there. You’ll be the English fellow in the yellow (pickup).
  21. I suspect the not mixing rule is if the oil(s) have some of the more particular additives (anti foam etc). Like the special stuff you have to use in the VW 1.9 PD engines.
  22. 2005 2.5 diesel Renault van mainly. Maybe the Honda and Honda clone on the Skidster and chipper if that's 10w40. They might be 15w30. Can't remember. I rate it as a 3/10 or 4/10 crime.
  23. Hear, hear!
  24. I gather it’s poor form to mix engine oil, certainly grades but ideally not even brands. Well I have a load of 5L oil containers with 1L of oil in them that I want to combine in a big container so I’m not tripping over so many. All 10w40 semi synthetic. As crimes go, rate this one out of ten (where 1 is it’ll be fine and 10 is instant engine death).
  25. Plenty second hand with 1 or 2k on for £5000. Whether that tells you what they're like to live with...
