  1. Which incidentally I pulled on with a standard 5 tonne ratchet strap. I’m reliably informed you can hit a tonne with less on the axle. I can very easily believe it.
  2. "Kids. See those vans parked in that layby?" Tip the wife a crafty wink.

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    Fluffy one is ten and less well trained. Scrawny one is three, also barely trained. I'd say who was in charge but it occurs to me that I don't know anything about dogs. Let’s say me. The bolas lead is an act of pragmatism over discipline. Scrawny Sailor stands a pretty good chance of coming back under neutral conditions, where fluffy Mecho wouldn't. If they trip over a deer/hare, Sailor will chase but Mecho is a deadweight anchor and the lead would probably catch them on trees. You get 30-40 minutes before Mecho has had enough of being pulled around. It's not perfect.

    That’s another thought. I have a 230 here I can look at if I want to take that apart (which I don’t). Thanks for help. Until morning.

    Video not visible if there's meant to be one. I suspect you're right about going all the way in. Will inspect saw in daylight and scale the photo of the seating tool to see if that gives any hints.

    I wasn’t clever enough to do that.
  8. I gave up on technical clothing a few years ago. Replaced it with occasionally suffering or more usually working less hard.
  9. I imagine Les’s wife match funds whatever his employer pays for nights away.
  10. Even in summer?

    Chain storage

    I have a few of those executive business card, notebook etc holders that nobody wants so they're free. One for each chain (12" 1/4 picco, 16" 3/8 picco, 25" 3/8). Get three or four chains in each, which is enough for me. 36" 3/8 are too big for them so they're just in an A4 big jiffy bag, milling ones in the milling box. I'd have a better (probably toolboox) setup if I changed chains more often. I'm pretty good at keeping clean though.

    Overloaded

    Magnificent boot though. What car is it?
  13. Four reel ends from FR Jones for £35. One of the first things I bought in arb. The 8m bit was my big lanyard for years. It’s a rare job where this longer bit doesn’t come through for a bit of crotch-butt action.
  14. Headset comms might be the most important advance in tree work this quarter century but they’re ruining rugby. Slows it right down. The referees are basically inquisitive judges on teams calls.
  15. England v Wales much more entertaining than Ireland v Italy already. Having forwards makes a big difference.
  16. I bought it new.
  17. Drop the Dead Donkey was great. Still haven't watched the reboot. I make the, "I'm not here." reference every time I'm hovering over someone about to do make a mistake that's theirs to make.
  18. Rough old bit of three strand I’ve been meaning to do for the last decade or so. Not sure why I made the eye so big. Something spoke to me.
  19. I need to get into the habit of going to a pub because I'll never find out games are on otherwise.
  20. **************** any of these coddled modern fag assertions of negative press btw. Same with guns. "I think you're confusing me with criminals or the drill scene."
  21. Bitches love Baden-Powell.

    Thinking about it, I probably would have worked out the depth myself. Like when the driving gear teeth chewed themselves off.
  23. Too soon? Too close? Should I wait until 09:00 Monday?

    Very much obliged. Had worked out the clock. Hadn't spotted the depth requirement. Is the special tool required to get the depth right or can it be pushed in and measured from anything?
