  1. Morning Pottering - completed. 2 Loads of logs out today and then some splitting and stacking to do. Luckily it's cool and overcast. Have a great one.
  2. Morning. Pottering around. Quiet day off. Have fun.
  3. Morning I get the Autumnal vibe but at 02:00 I was still able to work and walk around comfortably in a polo shirt. Last late then a few days off. My Friday so sod it, Happy Friday! Have a good one.
  4. Morning Lovely and cool. Hoping last nights orange moon will be replaced by the promised blue one. First load of winter logs to go out then a 4 till 2am shift. Enjoy the great weather while we have it.
  5. Morning Late turn today. Hoping it stays grey and overcast. Had too many days roasting. Have a good one.
  6. Afternoon. 4am start and all done now, till tomorrow. Hope you've been behaving. Catch up tomorrow.
  7. Morning Bright and clear. Helping on a Birch fell today, then back to it tomorrow at 4. Have a safe one.
  8. Morning. Late, sorry. So weary and now it's raining. No plans. have a good one.
  9. Morning Had a lay in. Day off. Weary after 3 long days in the heat. Hoping to snag a bit of recently felled ash to mill. fingers crossed. enjoy yourselves and hydrate.
  10. @Doug Tait I was lucky is all. Finished at midnight and got home just before 01:00. Sky was clear and minimal light pollution, bingo. Not loads but always awe inspiring. You'll have more chance of the northern lights, something I've missed and would dearly like to see. Onwards. Cheers
  11. Morning Lovely and clear last nigh. Saw a few meteorites and the crescent moon was toasty orange. Grey and dull now but heating up. Not looking forward to the heat later but looking forward to a few days off. Keep hydrated and enjoy.
  12. Morning All done with earlies. Late one today and it'll be roasting before I start. More sweating....hooray. Have a great one....especially those lucky ones out on the water! Well Jel! :-)
  13. Morning No real plan today. Got a chain to sharpen after yesterdays milling, then this evening a small beer I hope. Have fun.
  14. nope, don't get it. Sorry
  15. Morning Had a deep and glorious 4 hour kip and a day off now. Off to mill some oak for a good mate. Hope it stays cool and overcast. Suspect it won't. Have a great one.
  16. Your question was also saying "not just arb". This is the point where it all changes. I think it becomes a dynamic risk assessment type affair. In my view, it is all about the role the PPE plays in the task. (if that sounds right). As said, where there is an inversion and it might be dislodged, yes use strap Where there is impact or chance of it being snagged, caught and then becoming a strangulation risk, no, dependant on risk it could be yes. Where there is speed (motorcycles) or risk of being blown off, yes. Lastly, my pet hate, the chin straps with the cup that sits on your chin....they were banned on bikes as they caused more injuries than they save I thought. Hate em.
  17. Morning Late finish but now it's day 5 and then my weekend....at bloody last. Have a lovely day.
  18. Big Bore No. Why mess with the build (integrity?) of an already cheap saw? For a bit more than the price of a pot and piston couldn't you buy a new Holzforma bigger saw? G288?
  19. 1075kg Good job.
  20. Morning Loads cooler and no as stuffy. quiet morning then late start and later finish. All with the hope of not getting soaked.
  21. Ploink! Anyone got a contact I could pass on?
  22. Morning Close and misty. Late turn today, bound to get caught in the rain / thunder later. Not so glorious Friday. Have a safe one.
  23. Morning Getting lighter. Waiting for the thunder later maybe's Have a good one.
  24. Morning. Early start and cool before the madness starts. Keep hydrated and have a good one.
  25. Morning Sweating already, not pleasant. Have a great one.
