Very sorry to hear that Peds. Hope it is nothing too serious. Speedy recovery to you.

This all day long mate .

So . Putin is amassing troops and hardware on the Finish border . Does anyone think he will try and push into Finland , Norway , Sweden and the Baltic states ? Bearing in mind the average loss of troops in Ukraine is around 1200 - 1500 a week and being replaced with virtually  untrained " canon fodder " and the unsustainable loss of hardware , in particular tanks or is it a bluff ?

Morning All, hope Jack's settlement is good! Tom got side swiped on the way back from Goodwood. Asian family in a small car ran across the chevrons on an exit and into his car, didn't want to stop, then stopped a mile away and blamed him for running into him, refused to co operate then left without leaving many details. I reckon the race card will come out and the husband/wife will lie and win!

 

Steal, Ice, Ban.

Dash cam ?

Morning all . The insurance company have written off Jacks car . So I am, taking him to work ( in a minute ) until he gets a settlement and can get something else . 12c , mild with overnight rain .

Look on the bright side, at least the airbags worked. Maybe a bit of venison for the freezer.

The meat gets tainted by the adrenaline . It took a few minutes to die .

Is it just me or is it a good year for Hawthorne?

 

Driving across Somerset on the M5 this evening it was just a sea of white, and a little pink, blossom. Stunning. (Shame about the smell though)

 

 

Yes . Some of the hedge rows here are a mixture of hawthorn and black thorn . The blackthorn flowered a couple of weeks ago . thats all dropped off with a good crop of slows showing and now the hawthorn has flowered . 

Morning all . Crystal clear here again . Happy Saturday .

They weren't the ones that stole them, they were an ebay shop with approx 300 other used tools on. They actually gave them up voluntarily after we turned up at their lockup, threatened to get the police down there ( they didn't know police weren't interested)

Did you have any identifying markings on your kit or did they just take your word for what was yours ?

Police weren't interested, but we got the saws back

So did you go to the seller and just take them back or did you have to buy them ? ( as plod was not interested )

I was seriously questioning my competence after this.

Now to figure out if the Sugi bars are a dodgy run or not.

Do you lube the nose sprocket ? I stopped doing that a few years ago when I had one explode . I reasoned that when working in dusty conditions the dirt and grit stuck to the sprocket grease and acted like a grinding past . Since I stopped greasing them I have never had one let go .

Oi oi then dudes . Looking after Zulu , a friends springer . So lots of dog walking . They both get on well .  Clear sky again with that nagging NNEasterly  . Have a good one .

Posted about this tree a couple of years ago with unusual bark formation and five leaf arrangement. Leaves grow much larger than the common ash. Images show leaf and flower. 

Usually a 9 leaf arrangement on Manna ash .

That thing looks likes like it might damage the piston cyclinder cord seems to make more sense to me....

 

Never seen one normally they are ones are like this I thought?

 

 

 

I have used the screw in the spark plug hole often with no problems . You have to pull the crank over slowly until you feel it make contact with the piston though .
