This morning at about 06:15 I went into the field with my spaniel hoping to meet my mate Dave with his lab . Both dogs wear flashing collars as its still pitch black . Dave was out before me this morning . When Grouse ( the lab ) spotted mine she came barreling toward us . Usually she would miss me by a few inches but this morning she hit me square on , right on the outside edge of my metal knee . The pain was intense and shot down my leg into my ankle . She poleaxed be like a skittle . Just back from A+E . Luckily no bones broken but extensive soft tissue damage . Non weight bearing at the moment . Don't you just love life ! ?

You could bash your bishop for abit , just to relieve the boredom ! ?

See , hand cutters are paid for what they know , which transposes into what they do ......

Andy me old mucker . Most of the time I am on your side , and I respect your views , politically and to do with oil extraction , This is not about how many blokes were trained up or retained . Believe me bud , if you have spent your formative years learning how to perfect your trade ( hand cutting ) you would want to be on piece rate . If you are good at something all the while your body lets you , you want to maximize your potential . Its the way it is bud . ?

I remember that observation by Joe and found it interesting . Torsional cracks like the above are quite common in Cedars around abouts . Joe could well be right .

Not to take anything away from him , but I think pretty much all of 30/31 is common sense . I passed it years ago having used a saw for several years I admit but no formal training . This by the way is also a " bump " for the lad ! ? Sounds like a very useful chap . -
Yea . You don't want it looking like a plantation . Any bats ?
-
Oh. I just assumed you went in and hand cut every 7th row to create the rack prior to Jack going in with the harvester .
-
As it seems fairly flat there V.I. did you cut the racks every 7th ?
-
Pulp hook too .

I think The Village Idiot has an Exeter as well . It might crop up in his current thread about managing an ancient woodland . ( a great thread by the way ) or give him a P.M.
