There is " personal " data and plain old ordinary data . Were a tree is to be taken down is data . A blokes NHS number , date of birth and medical record are personal data .

Was walking in the woods with my dog today when something caught my eye to my left . There were 6 or 7 fallow deer watching me . As I clocked them there was a loud crack and the deer shot off . A beech limb fell from directly above where they were stood . It hit the ground and bounced up a bit . . I suppose it was 7 or 8 inches in diameter at the point of separation and 15 or 20 feet long .

On the band saw I used to use 30 odd years ago we had a welding facility on the saw itself ( 3 phase machiene ) You could grind a square edge on each half of the band , set the 2 edges together in the fixture , and press and hold button . The 2 edges would fuse together under slight compression . Then you pressed the button again but let go before it tried to weld again if you did this a few times it glowed cherry red and you could let it down slowly , effectively annealing the joint . I would suggest as others have that maybe you have a batch where this has not been done properly .
-
When the bands are welded together if they cool too quickly the area around the weld will become harder therefor more brittle . When the rest of the softer more forgiving part of the band passes through the timber any knots deviations sideways forces are absorbed by it i until you get to the weld it can then snap . You just need to anneal the weld area . This will soften the hardened teeth but only 2 or 3 in the weld area .
-
Try heating the weld with a gas torch till its a cherry red and let it cool slowly . Don't quench it . ( before mounting the band of course )

Hello . 🙂 -
I have seen a bloke using a scythe against a strimmer and the scythe pissed all over it .

Does E 85 mean it is 85% ethanol ? ( like E 5 is 5% )
-
Scotts is 2 needle but so is , I think ponderosa . Monterey is 3 etc etc
-
Ethanol is the work of the devil ! It is soo hygroscopic it causes all kinds of problems . This is one of the reasons I use only alkylate fuel now .
-
Fine thanks . how are yours Khriss me old mucker ? 😁
-
Yes . The rubber components have a coating on them to keep them supple . pump fuel attacks the rubber and removes the coating ( but in doing so sorta keeps the rubber soft ) Alkylate fuel will not attack the rubber so it becomes brittle after being attacked by the pump fuel . Now you have changed the rubber components you should be fine . If using Alkylate fuel in an engine from the get go this ,of course is not a problem .

Do you think he had a virus ?

Just leave it alone . ( this has to be a wind up surely ? )

Dish washer salt does not worry about the height .

2 and 3 I think are Northern Red Oak . 1 is not right ( as you say ) for Scarlett . Ponderosa looks good and Robinia / false acacia / black locust etc etc looks good as well . PS I am no expert !
