Why is that Bob? When you don’t need it for the likes of rabbit?
Just asking because I don’t know.
Sorry @roys I was meaning the Crayfish. They are a bit like grey squerl. They over run the local population of crays and I also thought they might have brought some sort of disease too. Need to check that.

Why did they take her traps?
Invasive species. Need a special licence.

Nobody has said.
I know you needed a licence to catch them. Said to be as difficult to find as rocking horse flop.Then if a fisherman landed one they had to kill it or face the chance a ministry fine if found out.
It seemed a waste. They were so prolific and looked like langoustines you'd have thought they could have been managed and harvested to a respectable level.
-
Without sounding hateful.
I hope you killed it.Have a load of them in the Mole down the road. You've doubled up on the voracious killers.
What's next? Red Kite's :-) -
You are a lucky man. Lovely bit of video. Thanks
Mrs saw one earlier in the year. I never seem to be fast enough to catch anything on camera. -
Are not worried about the shrinkage now?
I had a lump...still do. Kept it inside a black rubble sack. Out of the sun and allowing it to dry so slowly so It could make a bowl like that.
That's what I was told at the time. It was 10 years ago. I'll get a pic later it's in the back of the garage where monsters and old Landy bits lurk. -

Reading this with the bitter sweet memories when I had one of those Llizrov cages on my R leg Knee to Ankle after smashing Tib ad Fib in multiple places.
Don't miss it or the endless cleaning the pin sites. Then AB's when it didn't go well.
They are brilliant and gave me back a useable leg. All best wishes for your onward and upward travels.
Keep on the up, you'll get there.
Best wishes.

We have a lovely chalk stream going through the farm and it feeds the lake and exits back into the stream. There is a small bay where the roots of various trees and plants have formed a dense mat and it was while clearing weed around them that we came across many fresh water mussels
So are these rare in the UK and are they a good indicator of the health of the water. Do Otters and Mink feed on them?
Just saw your comment about Otters/Mink. Had our first potential Mink spotting early in the year. Appeared to be more interested in the area where there were Moorhen / Duck eggs or chicks.
-
I'd say no. There are two or three lakes round by me that have been de-silted in the last 5 years. All had plenty of shell debris in the silt.

I got a service kit with new air filter, fuel filter, and spark plug and when fitted this seemed to solve the problem.
I did pick up a fuel solenoid as well since you mentioned it, and some googling & youtube videos tell me that it's good preventative maintenance to replace this every so often, so I'll get round to replacing it when I have more time
Looking at this article on how to replace -
How To Change A Solenoid Valve On Your Machine | STIHL Blog
BLOG.STIHL.CO.UK
Solenoid valves can wear due to dirt in the fuel tank on your petrol machine. Check out our quick guide to changing the solenoid valve here.- it says to 'coat the solenoid valve below the collar with press fluid'
Did you do this, and if so what is and where can I find press fluid?
Thanks
I took that to be some "Americanism". I think I just pressed it home. I was a fiddly job with that retaining screw thing.
I might have lubed the O-ring with a light oil. Nothing more.
That and the M-tronic reset and it was changed saw. -
Pretty sure others will make better comment but have you done the reset?
Then on mine I changed the fuel solenoid for the updated (white?) version.

Nice. No I didn't know the auction was on, pitty, there were probably loads of things on there that would have been good to get. Always up for a good deal. 👍
Yep. Couldn't see myself using a 7ft bar. 2 of them went for a steal.

Looks like it has ended.
I thought I might have been bidding against you (or someone on here). Managed to get a 5ft GB Milling bar for the 881.
Small win.- 2

I have an Stihl 023 chainsaw that I’d like to fit a carving bar too.
I use it for fencing work and would like to try a carving bar for morticing posts.
Could someone point me in the direction of a good bar and chain?
currently running a 16” regular bar.
Have a look at @Rob D Chainsawbars.co.uk
He did supply a kit where you could replace the drive drum with a 1/4" drive
Mine came with a 10" and 12" sugihara bars and chains. The 10" had a "dime" tip and is perfect for cutting out holes in chestnut posts.
It wasn't cheap but it transformed my 1999 - 023 into a very, very useable tool.

This...direct via website is no cheaper but different grades are available.
Rye oil are good but these chaps deliver (to me) within 2 days when ordered Mon- SatWorks out around £10 a gallon and ticks and flings just as good as the Stihl oil I used to use.

When orange was chosen as the Hiviz for working on the railway one of the reasons given was that the yellow attracted insects.
Sorry to interrupt, I'm not sure that is all true.
I was told of a number of reasons for Orange.
1 it wasn't a naturally produced colour. Or as much as the yellow in daff's and daisy's, gorse whatever.
2 it didn't disappear as readily under sodium street lighting. This was the biggie.
3 to set it apart from road workers...who did use yellow back in the day. Police H-Vi being one.
4 lastly the scotchlite strips on "yellow" hi vi were similar to some of the old telegraph signalling. Rail HiVi scotchlite is/was in a different setup to not be confused with signalling. double bands round arms legs.
Also I believe insects see in a different spectrum, so our "yellow" is their shocking pink or whatever.
Sorry do de-rail. No pun intended

Nope. No pics. Just happy memories of travelling into London on Bus/Tube to see Motorhead in Hammersmith in 81 at 15. Glorious.

Can't offer much guidance on sections.
I've listed in the Timber -construction materials and also diy - / crafts wood.
I'd have a look at what is being advertised of a similar style and go from there. using
Unless you are very lucky I think you'll have a bit of a wait.
I did have stuff go quickly but think it was because I was almost giving the stuff away..It's a "how long is a piece of string" thing.
IF you have someone who knows what they want and what is a good / respectful price, you are made.
I've had this.....and I've had the mushrooms that want to "build" magnificent furniture from what I have clearly stated is freshly milled ( and therefore cheap) wood, that requires drying and further work.
I feel that I could almost write a book on the experience.
I'm sure some of the other chaps will be along to offer their advice too.As before, all the best of British Luck to you.
