Bearded Munch

We had a smaller one about 17 years ago( by no fault of our own ) and it was rubbish, it would struggle to take branches through and one day driving along the road the feed hopper fell off. I can't say what the bigger chippers were like but we went to the Entec chipper and never looked back.

I found with the Husky combi the small dimples on the bottom would wear away then the oil would leak out.

Makes my crushed fingers look nothing now, find out in fracture clinic if it's bad or not on Monday (9th).

Caught my fingers between a trailer and van today crushing the middle and ring fingers. the ring finger popped open and the x-ray showed a piece of bone loose in it, another journey to fracture clinic on Monday due. It is quite sore I can tell you.

What's a razor??

A casual worker.

Good old Martyn Amos a personal friend shall look forward to see what he gets.

Hardly any these days but when I worked in the forestry in the 70s and 80s we would have to plant a thousand a day each to make our money on price work. There were usually 4 or 5 of us so times that by a few weeks it was quite a lot. I wonder if they are still growing or been felled by now.

This could be a bit confusing.

Saw this last week on a cruise stop in Puerto Rico (5-14 )

I bought a cheap and cheerful one off ebay over 2 years ago and still going strong.

The Gipsies (travellers) do it all the time usually with other peoples saws, Others are available.

That's a tidy chunk!

The saw found it first, it was about 8 inches in the tree so been there a while.

Found this in a lump of Yew a while ago.

Looks good, but I bet it's not far off 3 ton empty.

Also when I was young I fell over in a wood and fell on a broken bottle and still have the scar now.

The little darlings down this way were putting fish hooks in lumps of meat and putting them in the areas where we take the dogs for a walk.

3 year warranty too, must be worth a go.

Its the same here in S Wales one of us usually stays by the job while the other tips the chip off or when we would come back the wood is gone. If we doing something like poplar we will leave it in smaller chunks and it will disappear. Don't mind if they ask we will let them have some.

Looks like Lime not the best burner but smells good.

Do you always take a telescope to work?

Never thought about that at the time, I knew their gardener.

Barry Norman the film critic fella, real nice guy and his family, also seen Kim Wilde's nickers, mind you they were on the washing line, she lived about a mile from Barry Normans.

We had a pto driven 8" in 1984, it was the first chipper I used. It looked just like the front bit without the engine part and chassis.

A couple of old pics.

A model rocket and a few kites over the years. Also a few cats, the little darlings usually jump down as you get near them.
