Slightly confused - is this the Stihl policy thread or the Apple thread?

You mean they're not going to be paddled! Should be on the water at least once before going on display.

At one point, I had the coat off, then the fleece and sleeves rolled up. Later watching the cloud base rising up the valley toward us, I had thoughts along the lines of, "Another day, another soaking." But we hardly got wet and had four rainbows on the way home.

19yr. old I knew, was quoted 6x the total worth of the pickup for a year on third-party.

You're masochist...

I gather it's quite the thing on the Southampton construction cranes. Personally, I like the idea but then I do like free-climbing rock.

Who pays for damage from windblown tree?
TGB replied to Sylvia's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Insurance companies look on windblow, as an act of god and usually won't pay out on such. So perhaps the local church should pay for it. -
Only an 'Honourable Mention', as he didn't die. But one suspects he might die sometime soon. Then the level of award would depend on if he has children.

From Mon-Fri I either got somewhat wet or soaked. And although it's rain now, I'm enjoying a warm dry day undercover. If only the lingering cough would cease.

You can't get a heated handle with the 545. So if you intend using it on really cold days, not only will you comfort level decrease. But cold hands are more susceptible to vibration damage, (white finger). If you're going to be doing lots if snedding, the 'RevBoost' will help with that. If you intend to use the saw on a commercial basis, get the XP. Having said that, I was felling 60'-80' conifers with a 545 and the saw didn't miss a beat.

If you're going to use it day-in-day-out and mainly for felling, get the 365 and ringing. If you're after an occasional saw, get the 545. The 555 will be good for ringing-up and felling but won't comfortably haul the bigger bars of the 365.

Reckon the 550 + 560XPs are meant for all day felling and snedding. Whereas the 545 is less suited to all day work. The 555 has more oomph but why lug that much weight, when you could be carrying a 560XP? Apart from lacking the 'Rev Boost' of the XPs, the others can't be bought with heated handles. Depends what you intend to do with the saw and how often you're going to do it. Felling everyday in softwood or regular thinning - get the XPs. More occasional work and or ringing-up 300mm - get the 555. Occasional cutting and coppice - get the 545.

If you recycling your old PC, remember to retrieve all you want, then trash the HD. Start by reformatting the whole drive, then remove it from the case and physically destroy it. I've found a lump hammer or similar to be a good option. If the actual disc can't be spun, it can't be read. Putting a good bend or S-bend will do it. Takes quite a bit to bend them.

You'll be hard pushed to fund a new copy of 'Office 2010 or Win7'. You might be forced to buy Win8, even if you don't want to. You can run Win8 without the touch screen but it defaults to this input. As to 'Office 2010', you might get a secondhand copy somewhere; just make sure you get the product code at the same time. As MS won't recognise it without its code. You could try 'OpenOffice' and It's free. The downside, is MS Office doesn't recognise it. Gone are the days I fear, of being able to buy software off the shelf and remain unknown to big brother.

I can't tell you how happy I am, not to have won anything off the prize list.

That's one of them new fangled tyres. 25% less rubber, so 25% less rolling resistance and 25% noise as it's trundling down the M3. I presume it works on other motorways too.

Wet on ground but confused by clear blue sky. Perhaps it'll rain later and I can relax.

Pads & Pods have a fixed camera. If you tilt the pad/pod while you take the photo, the viewer lets you see the righted image. But the viewing screen and camera are not the same. The pad/pod knows it's on its side or upside down, the camera does not. So image is saved the way it was taken. Learn which way is 'up' for you device and try to capture images with it upright. If you tilted the device during capture, just do a simple edit to right the image 'before' uploading and all will be good.

You have my PM. May you be well sooner than later.
-
Got to be a fair bit to warrant being willing to haul it. Not sure if I should enter, as I'm not sure I'd be able to contain my excitement if I won. But if I did win, maybe I could auction off my prize. So a wild but low guess, 11.02 tonnes.

I'm guessing someone's will be, "Don't drive the truck into a 7' deep river in spate... again."

I get the point. Talking from someone who wore glasses at an early age and has had to go back to wearing them in the last eight years. I have always had a problem judging exact focal points/point of contact. So whereas I can fairly accurately say that something is a certain number of yards or tens of hundreds of yards distant. I have difficulty pouring liquid into a glass from a bottle at arm's length. I find it ok if the two touch but I'm not sure that the liquid will actual be in the glass, until it begins to flow. Anther example , is that I'm a good table tennis player. But am useless at tennis, badminton or cricket. As I can't judge where the racket/bat will contact the projectile. Golf isn't so bad, as the ball waits to be hit. Though I have an incurable slice. By the way, apart from table tennis, I can't stand any if the aforementioned.

Would this solve the problem: Sounds like the same thing.

That sounds like a fun day digging.

Lovely wood for marquetry, small ornaments, bowls, etc. It would be a crying shame to burn it.
