Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
Stubby replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Seconded Khriss . You know my thoughts . -
Good job they weren't towing a caravan as it would have taken a lot longer than 17 hrs
-
Me neither . If you stand behind the pump they cant tell were you are pumping it . Could be in your vehicle or up your own arse .
-
How does one go about drinking a ginger nut Khsiss ? Genuine question ?
-
I think its only wine though ...
-
You would never know !

I never use a guard with a mulching blade either . The worst thing that has happened to me is I hit a small pot of white paint that had been discarded in a load of bramble . Made a bit of a mess on my strides .
-
Ha , no . But it has been done in the past ! ?
-
I think guards are a hindrance .

Fancy a Few months climbing in Sweden.

Yes . Red Line Racing 2T . I mix it at 50:1 with Aspen 4 or Husky equivalent .
-
Don't think it 5x the price . It is more I will grant you .
-
NGK just would not be so funny ?
-
That's all I use nowadays and the can is one of the first sold and the spouts still work .

Thanks for the offer but I am retired from full time cutting ( 68 years old and body knackered ) . I do a part time driving / portering job for the Nuffield hospital in Chichester .

Tight as you like !

I had several of the above and as you say initially I thought they were great if not a bit prone to falling over due to the minimal footprint . One fell of the back of my pickup and smashed the green spout . Prior to this the green spout worked faultlessly . I bought 3 or 4 replacement spouts and none would shut off properly . The newer Husky can is much better as it has a larger foot print and the spout works well but only if you use Alkylate fuel , Aspen etc . With the latest Ethanol pump fuel they eventually stop working properly .

Yes . I understand your thinking I too have seen trees in woodland with obvious die back and one stood next to it with minimal signs and the next one has it . I don't know why the splits are there ( I have heard some people saying ash are just doing what ash do , what ever that means ). Regardless of the splits , if it has it it is doomed sooner or later . I take no pleasure in this and sincerely hope that there are some resistant trees and the keys are harvested . Round here , West Sussex / Hampshire all ash that is roadside or foot path side has been or is being felled to mintage the risk of danger to Joe public . It is an unhappy situation .

You said it had " minimal signs of die back " these I presume ( rightly or wrongly ) were obvious to you or you would not have posted as such . In my experience , just as an observer , these " minimal signs of die back " become more than minimal till eventually its the only thing happening . I don't mean to be harsh but when it all started ( became news ) I saw trees with minimal signs and 3/4 years later some did not flush the next spring yada yada yada ...

To be fair he has never liked me . We never got on right from the start .

This .

You can get that frozen but I like to mash my own with some butter and black pepper .
-
I like that , and Jill . ?

Bearing in mind I am a seriously old git ...I worked for several years without any tickets coz I always had a saw and experience kept me alive . I did get tickets some years later and I think its the only way these days . I don't think you can take a dump without a ticket now .
