Here's a working link: I presume I have the correct one.

Edited last paragraph Too many typos in the last paragraph and I'd run out of time for an edit.

The chip needs to be of a particular & uniform size for the boiler; and has to be within a moisture range. The feed for chip boilers tends to be auger driven, in which case, the size is most important for a given feed volume. The moisture is also important. Too moist and the boiler is wasting energy drying the fuel instead of producing the optimum heat output. Too wet and it can jam up the auger, as it sticks to surfaces, plus it can build up creosote layering on internals. Which could be problematic and expensive to clear. From what i gather, too dry produces too much dust for optimal stated thermal output, as it get moved/grinds around in the hopper. I suspect sawdust would have to conform to the same moisture content for roughly the same reasons. On a small scale, both chip and sawdust could be dried without specialist equipment. But for more than just the occasional use, it would require extra pre-processing in either a dryer or more expensive, (and larger) boiler, which can help pre dry the fuel before it enters the hopper. For the smaller boiler that only heat the hot water and are gravity fed. I could see that you'd not need that much space, to dry the chip/saw on multiple flat surfaces. But you'd still have the carefully monitor the moisture content, for the same given reasoning.

Third time lucky - maybe this time it'll cease to be posted as a 'new' thread .

I like that.

Plus the equally spaced pockets/sap bubbles on the bark.

If you've just refuelled or stopped for a break. Don't leave the decompression button pushed in without attempting a restart. If the decompression button is pushed in, even by accident, you have to pull the saw over to release the decompression button. Otherwise this will result in an instant flood upon an attempted start later on. Don't ask me why but it can happen and it's a sod if it does.

Hot start procedure is similar to a cold start. But you don't require full choke. So for a hot start: •With the chain brake engaged •Pump the fuel purge the stated number of times •Press the decompression button •Pull the choke lever out & up and release •Then immediately press it back down without pulling the lever out, (this sets it to half-choke) •Now you can pull the saw over and it should start •When it fires and continues to run, remember to gently blip the throttle once, which will take it off choke •If you try a hot start on full choke, (by leaving the choke lever in the upper most position) then the saw just floods •If you try a hot start without setting half choke, it is doubtful that the saw will start. And continually pulling it over, will result in a flooded engine •So a cold start requires full choke •And a hot start require half choke It shouldn't matter if you've just refuelled. If the engine is still hot, (only been stopped for a few minutes, less than 5-8mins. The half choke should get you back on track. Some 545, 550XP, 560XP don't like being run dry. If your saw is one of the finicky ones and has been run dry. Then for that first restart after refuelling, you'll halve to follow a cold start procedure; even if the saw has only been off for a few minutes.

Do you want to know when a customer needs you? Or are you looking for something to alert you to nosy scum?

The weather is having one of those funny turns. It's not normal and that's for sure... it's not raining. And I can't see a comforting cloud in the sky.

I know I indicated I was bugging out but felt a little protection of a friend was needed. Just one of what she's been up to recently. BMJ and the Cleveland Clinic Integrated motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy for people with psychosis and comorbid substance misuse: randomised controlled trial E........ Eisner is a Research Associate in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Manchester UK. And has a whole bunch of letters after her name; and I know I've not typed which ones. And on an earlier note, just in case people were wondering. I do not condone animal testing. And please can I rest in peace on this particular point.

You could paint it with auto bed liner. Common in the states but a novelty over here. But from what I know of it, it's tough as old boots and lasts a very long time.

Sorry wrong word there, the ruddy spell checker has struck again. I'm niw bucking out of thus thread.

She's currently working in physiatrics and studying the effects of head trauma.

Is that a juniper bush I spy?

Is it just me or is the owl sporting a Marg Simpson hairdo in green?

Have a gander through this brief show leaflet pdf.

There is a temporary campsite at the show. But you need to book in advance.

And that might also be true. On the other hand, I've a friend who did sociology at Oxford, (she got a first with honours). During her second year, she did quite a lot of cutting into various brains. Some of them dead but some of them alive. The live brains belonged mainly to monkeys & dogs and some other animals. The outcome for each of these experiments is already widely known and accepted. But it was felt by the tutoring staff, that the student wouldn't believe past studies, if it were not performed in person by each individual student. So year after year, the same precedures, are being repeated, simply because that is the way it's been done in the past. There is nothing more to learn from said experiments, that can not be learned from books and published papers. But the tutors believe that, if you've done it yourself, you're more likely to believe accompanying course journals and papers. Note. And now someone will point out that 'we' do practicals for our tickets. But even as a veggie, I don't view trees and the like as sentient beings.

Considering the use to which the primary bob' is being put. The second may well be acting as a water tank for the house.

I can well believe it. Humans have done and do do far worse things to animals in the name of science, 'bettering' human life & understanding what could be taken for granted. But a few would still rather carry out the experiment/s, to the detriment/health/life span of the fauna and flora that surrounds.

Oh gourd! Is that a god joke?

You have to be a true believer to see the cabbage.

Not yet. You know what the doctor said, "Only once round the garden. And you have to eat all the cabbage before you get your tablets." Tea time are just on Wednesday, Friday & Monday.

Rub the salt in why don't you. Where are you and how do you control the weather...
