Afternoon register filled 😁

Bet you were one of the Cheeky lads sat at the back of the classroom.

😁

Morning.

Nearly he weekend. Not a day / night / day too soon.

Weather clear and fresh. It's gonna be great. 

Good read. Cheers

I have run a 42" GB Lo-Pro milling bar no issue. 
Could go 48 or 54 maybe 60 with a skip or hyper skip.

Crosscut at 36" is about it. Pretty sure others will have a better answer

Ditto. I have Logosol  Timber Jig.

Useful and well worth tucking away in the "just in case" locker.

Surely wouldn't compact it more than if it was just chipped?

Morning.

Back to normal - ish.  Leaving zombie land.

Quite dull today, hopefully it'll perk up,

Morning, evening...whatever. Going to bed.

Zombied out.

Thanks guys as I dont get the Alaskan out as much as I used to before I broke my Ankle things that used to be so obvious get a bit foggy so as its looking like a few more Alaskan jobs coming up I think its time to look for a new 4ft milling bar what would you lot recommend .

   Thanks guys

Not 4ft not my 46" Sugi is brilliant on the Eco mill.  The 404 means I lose a board with the wide kerf. But it just rips.

Morning

Not too shabby here. Grey with high hopes of a nice day. Delivering logs.

Good morning. 

Lovely  day here. Chilly last night. Soon be time to harvest the sloes. 

Have a great weekend.

Good Morning, ready for the weekend Sir!

Wet and miserable. Tomorrow better I hope.

Just heard on LBC that police have arrested a 16yo boy in connection to the felling of the tree.

Worse. A minor. Essentially immune from prosecution.

I wonder what drove him that far to want to do something like that. Must be quite disturbed/angry about something.

Should be in rate my hinge thread

Was thinking the same. Bad form though. 

Sad is what it is. 

Needless and malicious vandalism.

A bit late. Sorry Sir. 

Got distracted finishing last nights homework.

Grey but moderately tranquil here. 
Hope Agnes did you all no harm.

Good Morning

Halfway to the weekend. 

Survived W London. ...  Result!

Morning.

Early kick-off 

Training in London ...

I'm regretting now not continuing the stretches that helped it last time. Of course once there was no pain I quickly got out the habit but maybe it wouldn't have helped, I did lift stupidly.

 

The humour has been good at least, the lads have fun about me being the oldie at work at the best of times but now I'll never hear the end of it.

Team Grey Rules!   
 

Onwards and upwards.

Hobbled home from work after a mere couple of hours today. A slip on a banking while lifting/turning and the sciatica 'knife' plunged in.

 

Had it before but this time is bloody agony. Went down like a premiership footballer at the chipper hopper and it took fully half an hour to get me up. The lads were great. Was dressed in my coat so I didn't get cold, layed a tarp on the opposite verge out of the work zone and I was taken like an elderly gent across the road and layed on it. "Don't worry Doug I've got this, I'm used to taking my grandad out, he's a bit more nimble though", "no wait just now, we'll never make it over before that bus comes in 20mins". So they left me there to stretch and see if it eased while they cracked on for a bit, stranded like some sad little turtle or a cowped ewe in full view of the road, thought a few times a car was actually going to stop or call an ambulance the looks I was getting!

 

However the stretching helped a bit and I made it home and our friendly physio will fit me in tomorrow but I'm not looking forward to getting moving in the morning at all.

 

I'm fairly confident the boss will ask if I learned anything at all from the lifting and handling course we did recently...

of course I learned, I'm just not putting it into practice. Old dogs and new tricks I suppose but I'm learning now in hindsight.

Get well soon.

I have experienced the same despite years of swimming to strengthen. It still hurts like a b-tard when I do it.
