  1. Present Clamy and muggy. Clearing soon like my head I hope.
  2. Present Can smell the weekend it's that close.
  3. Morning! Another day closer the weekend. Broke the back of it at least.
  4. De-rail Sorry. If I'm milling with 881 or 661 spikes are off. Gives an extra few cm on the width and the mill acts as a fence to save the saw. Doesn't ta long and benefits outweigh time lost.
  5. Pro Safety 5 Point Felling Spikes for Stihl MS440, MS441, MS462, MS500I, MS660, MS661 - Logs and Saws LOGSANDSAWS.CO.UK Pro Spike 5 point felling spikes are made from high grade alloy steel, sold as a pair, and are the highest quality available.
  6. Ooops. This looks better. https://logsandsaws.co.uk/product/pro-safety-5-point-felling-spikes-for-stihl-ms440ms441ms500i-ms660-ms661-copy/
  7. Egan 3 point short felling spikes Stihl 044, 046, 064, 066, ms models 440, 441, 462, 500i, 660, 661 - Logs and Saws LOGSANDSAWS.CO.UK Egan Performace Saws short three point felling spikes Stihl 044 064 066 ms440 ms441 ms500i ms660 ms661 No idea if they are any good. I was looking for something for the 661. ?
  8. Same same here. Only change from yesterday minus 2 Hens.
  9. Ditto. Still breathing.
  10. 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.
  11. Invasive species. Need a special licence.
  12. 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.
  13. 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 :-)
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Yep. Couldn't see myself using a 7ft bar. 2 of them went for a steal.
  22. 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.
  23. BN6A-0X25T-A Sugihara Tough Carver Dime Tip 10"[25cm] WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK [MUTLI1] BN6A-0X25T-A Sugihara Tough Carver Dime Chainsaw Bar Tip 10"[25cm] 1/4 pitch .050 fits 60 drive links.
  24. 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.
