Solidarity. Sounds grim. Post where you are in the country. I’m sure there’s any number of people on here who might come and keep you company from time to time, give your wife a night off occasionally.

Is it just me being a dinosaur or is this really poor, lazy design?
AHPP replied to Squaredy's topic in General chat
I was remarking to a mate earlier on a slightly different motoring matter that we've reached the top of the rollercoaster. Soon, everything is going to be like the Russian/H2G2 shoe factories churning them out joined at the heel. I currently own a 2009 car that is haplessly immobilised because I haven't yet brought myself to pay a 19-year-old with a laptop to come over and sweet talk it and a 2005 van with half the stuff on the back axle shredded by the whims of a twatty ABS sensor. I'm well up for an older vehicle or a horse at this stage. -
Wide 5kw stove recommendations
AHPP replied to Mr. Squirrel's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
If you do decide to halve them, I'm a big fan of production lines. Get some mates with chop saws over and throw them long ones direct from the store to their hands. Be done in no time. -
Wide 5kw stove recommendations
AHPP replied to Mr. Squirrel's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
I too was thinking just grasp the nettle, cut them in half and move over to rubble firewood that all the gay little modern stoves use. I've always cut as long as possible to minimise work and sawdust and so they stack well but I'm more mechanised now and going the other way. Do short logs scoop into a machine bucket better than long ones. I'm not having a lot of luck pushing into piles of long logs with the skidsteer. -

I too love a pub quiz and can't stand people cheating with phones at them. I reckon put them in a bowl on the way in and have the option to do a bit of swinging on the way out. -
I nearly posted this word for word but didn’t want to admit I look at tree Facebook.

Snapped this pair the other day. They pleased me and I thought they might please some on here. Also, I think Stihl chainsaws are better than Husqvarna chainsaws.

Facing wrong way, no cliff, no monkey. 2/10.

It’s a top quality gif, Mick, applied perfectly, but I’m afraid the drama is over.

Bollocks.

Not at all. When I met you a few months ago, I introduced myself, raised a topic you evidently found tricky and you skulked off and avoided me until I’d gone. You’re quite happy to weigh in to a conversation I’m having online though. My comment wasn’t odd, just a bit unpalatable for you I imagine.

General house warmth must keep it warm enough. I’d love heated vehicle storage. I suspect my van would start at -10.5c but not easily.

I see you’ve found your voice.

Is the garage heated then?

Are block/battery/fuel heaters common at your latitude?

I turned the compressor on just to do the van tyres the other day so it had probably 90psi left in it when I was finished. I was going away for a few days so it needed draining. Like an absolute moron, I thought to myself, “I wonder if I can fully undo the drain plug and hang onto it without blasting my fingers off.” I couldn’t and I was moderately lucky to not be shot by the brass plug. I’ll be equally lucky to find it. Idiocy. Knew it was a stupid idea at every stage. Did it anyway.

Any idea why the end of a stub wouldn't callous like a collar does?

I walked past your stall at the APF.

Rope runner pro (CE vs Non-CE version)
AHPP replied to Dan F.'s topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
I have the spliced eye of my main rope hung on a nail in the shed as a reminder of the cost of complacency. I was gutted. It was (and is) my only pro splice and it was a joy to use. Likewise, ivy, easy tree. Didn’t go all the way though it but finished the job with a silky before it started looking usable again. Fearsome Stihl 120 or 170. -
How to proceed with old apple trees?

Make cider, become popular. -
SRT connecting two ropes for bigger trees
AHPP replied to Carteeni's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
What peds said. Zeppelin bends look a bit fall-aparty. Great for a hard winch/machine pull I'm sure but I'd worry with a climbing line that I'm constantly weighting and unweighting over a few hours. I can't remember how to tie one either. -
The split is in the cane. The planted plant is fine. CAN YOU SEE WITHOUT YOUR GLASSES, SIR?
-
No, it’s not. If it’s going to rub the bark off or something, I can go back out with a bit of string.
-
No it’s not. 99% of modern air rifles shoot fabulously accurately. 50% of HMRs don’t shoot or at least have some niggling annoyance. We really are wasting the internet now.
