That's neat and novel.

You sure you got the correct part number?

Did you have a verbal agreement of is it down in writing, either on paper or in saved emails? If it's just a verbal agreement, walk away before they change what they think you're entitled to again. If you had a more concrete contract, then they've broken it and you're owed something.

If it happens again. Very loudly, verbally express your belief that he lives on a barge. Narrowboat owners hate having their craft referred to as a barge.

If you're curious, have a gander through: http://www.aspenfuel.co.uk should answer any queries. As an Aspen user, I recommend it. However, if I was cutting every day, it would be an expensive alternative to pump-premix. But I'm not cutting every day, and thus along with other benefits, I don't worry about how old the mix is, how accurately it was mixed, the fuel grade, ethanol content, the quality of the 2-stroke oil, nor the health of my cutting equipment. That's the long way of saying, "I'm an Aspen user and I'm happy with my addiction to a cleaner burn."

The National Trust like a lot of charities, rely on the goodwill of their non-office workers. The great majority of their staff is volunteer labour. Of the paid staff, (unless you work in an office) the pay is not great. But if you go to work for a charity, you're there, mostly because you like the work and the overall goals of that particular charity. So if you're a pen-pusher, you can expect at least a living wage. If you're a hands on employee, expect the minimum-not much more pay-grade. Having said this, if your views are inline with the NT, it can be very rewarding; just not in financial terms. The NT do not pay overtime, even if you work a Bank Holiday/s, (Their office staff don't work BHs and tend not to work weekends either.) However, if you do work a BH, you'll get time off in leu. If you work over the weekly maximum of 37.5hrs., you'll get time off in leu. If you're an NT member when you take up employment. You have to suspend your membership, until you cease being employed with them. But as an employee, you'll get broadly the same benefits as a member. Depending on your post, you may or may not be allocated tied accommodation - but you'll still have to pay rent on that property. Some NT posts state that you have to live within three miles of your post's base. In remote areas, this means you have to either live on-site or find a place within spitting distance. And in remote areas, this may mean living on a working farm or in the smallest place on the edge of the nearest hamlet.

Or veg oil. But mineral won't attract insects. Where oil comes into contact with slate, there's two things to remember. Slate isn't porous & a little oil goes a long way.

Definitely important to get the correct density/stiffness for your needs. Relative had a Tempur on trial for a month but were not advised by the Tempur company about different densities beforehand. Mattress got returned in less than two weeks, as it was making a bad skeleton worse and a good back bad. They weren't offered different mattresses and the company just said, that maybe their type of mattress would not be suitable for everyone. They only found out about differing density from a different manufacture. But by that time, they'd gone off the idea; and went for an individually pocketed mattress. And pleased they did so.

Still snow on the felltops but sunny and slightly warmer.

I like the lightness and feel of the Oregon pickaroons. But oh those prices.

Sounds like someone in the LA doesn't like your client/ you. And is deliberately making life awkward. As to maladmin' - it sounds like they couldn't organise a ****up in a brewery.

Depends on user's height, leg/arm length and type of work, i.e. log deck, picking up short logs or moving rounds. For myself two would come in useful. A short one for grabbing logs off the top of stacks and a medium length for grabbing short lengths & moving rounds. As it is, I've got half a medium length one. I say half, as I bought an axe handle, bolt & nut. But by the time I'd had a friend grind the bolt's tip, I'd mislaid the handle. I might even find all components on the same day... maybe.

Crisp thin layer this morning. Beginning to melt now but more forecast for tonight. The cat isn't happy. But if my belly was only 6" off the deck and I had to go out to do my business, I won't be pleased either.

Is there a giant Russian under that snowy hat?

Did the HSE do an investigation into the circumstances and cause of the accident?

Hailed last night but fine today; somewhat chilly though.

Could install a few geese.

That'll be a day forgotten. Might also be a slight problem carrying off the line to the wife, "I, I, I. Look I only had a couple. Honest. Probably." Said while laying on the floor outside your door, where she found your limp body some hours previously. I'm not saying you can't hold your liquor. Just that that amount of goodwill in a day, is a lot for any man.

Think it's more on the lines of protection from damage caused to tree if lightning did strike. Get the charge to pass to ground, without it passing through tree, (Turning sap to steam and blasting the tree apart.)

Now that's got moving chain. I wonder if they'd put it in the post.

Fine and mild.

I think it works by sliding one half of the hex past the other. If you can imagine it. Place your forefingers together and your thumbs together, so you've formed an 'O'. Where your left hand has formed a 'C' and your right hand has formed a reverse 'C'. Now keeping your finger-thumb configuration stable. Slide them past each other, so the thumb of one hand now faces the space between the opposing finger-thumb configuration; and now the other finger, faces the space between the first finger-thumb. Now imagine that in 3D repeated many times over and you have the answer. So this would break the cap. Mind after a number of honey draws, you'd still have to remove the wax or some of it. But you wouldn't have to open the hive so many times. After each drawing of the honey is complete. The hexes get re-aligned via the lever moving in the opposite direction and the bees go back to filling up and capping off.

I presume you could get it classed as agri but you'd still have to get insurance for it.

Seen one image which definitely looks gold & white. And another image which definitely looks blue & black. I rather think it depends how the image is generated and the saturation of colour & contrast. Then how that image is reproduced and the rendering software that your particular device is using.

Ah. That should have been, "Going to bed early, makes a man healthy..."
