I presume egger , that he works for the diplomatic core ?

A couple of months ago I sent my 395XP of to Mark for him to work his magic . It came back last week just in time for me to enter the chainsaw race at Wests Wood Fair in East Dean . There are two guys that always end up battling it out for the prize ( sponsored by DM Chainsaws ) . Simon is an old mate of mine and the other guy is Wayne who I don't really know . Simon said I should have ago just for fun so I took the freshly ported 395XP fitted with a 13" bar and 8 pin sprocket and had a go . The " log " is a 9"x9" bit of Douglass or Grandis and you have to make 3 cuts within a 6" lenght . So obviously 1 down , 1 up and the last down again . The saw performed like a total champ but was let down by me the 70 year old half crippled pensioner ! The first down ( pulling ) cut was faster visibly than anyone else . The second up cut ( pushing ) I did not have the upper body strength to keep it fully in the wood so did not cut right through ! I probably would have been better off with a 15" or even an 18" bar . ( next year ) So in short Crockey is a weapons grade wizard when it comes to porting and I only wish I could have done him justice . It was generally noted by the top guys that a fully fit 30 year old me would have pissed it with that saw . @Crocky

Could be good for getting out ear wax . 🙂

A member of the family now I recon . 🙂

Or even Alder 🙂

Zebra

I presume you have been feeding him ? He will need to learn to fend for himself but how you go about this I'm not sure . If it was here I would take him to " Brent Lodge " bird sanctuary . There may be something similar near you ?

Sounds like " wankers colic "

I bought one very similar to that years ago and welded road tow suspension to it .

Frank Drebin ? 🙂

About 15 mins of light rain here . T shirt still .

We seem to have an even spread of green and greater spotted . The greens are usually on the ground foraging and the spotted on a tree .

I use Aspen 4 or the Husqvarna version and mix it with Red Line 2t racing oil . Never a problem .

There's me going on about no Gold Fiches and bugger me there was a pair last evening sorting the seed out .

Just been over Harting Down with the dog . " Lock down " sky here . As I was returning to my truck the Spitfire came toward me from Goodwood . He did two loops ( one diving strait at me ) followed by a barrel roll and then straitened up and went off . It was like he did it just for me ! No one else around anyway . 😀

Yea odd innit . Used to get loads of them . Got Niger seed and Sunflower hearts out .

Wat's a guard ?

Still not seen any Gold Fiches on my feeders this year .☹️

This only applies if you are burying the full length of the bar in the timber . As I understand it he will only be using the tip just to save bending over too much .

Sun high in sky and much hot Kemosabe .

Don't sugar coat it Pleasant , tell it like it is FFS ! 😄

From what I have heard by any one who has one the MS400 seems to be THE saw at the moment . Its slap bang in the middle . 67cc but can do 50cc- 80cc stuff .

To be fair mine as been in daily use from day one .

This all day long !

Still had mine up to about a week ago but my daughter has now claimed it and wears it often .
