Depends when you born, where you were born and in what decade your brain is currently engaged in. I've just tried it and found I would normally use 4 fingers including my little finger; so I reckon approx. 3.75. Unless it's on the second Tues. of the month, in which case, it's about 3 3/4.

No way it could just 'fall' down one night..?

For him it's, "What the f_ _ _?" For you it's, "Why the f_ _ _?"

Perhaps Python, he likes to view the tree from that angle, just so he can start each morning with, "What the f_ _ _?"

I cheated, I just typed 5.2mm into an online converter. It also equals 0.0056868yds - I also asked it to convert to miles but it coughed up yards. Now there's 1,760 yards to the mile and 1,609.344 yards to the km. So that makes a waste of ink & paper if anyone's interested to work it out. Or 5mins. of head scratching with a calculator. Though why one would use a calculator to scratch one's head, is beyond me. Why not put down the device and use a digit or few? s

5.2mm = 13/64"

The most boring Christmas lunch I ever had, was a bowl of oxtail soup. There was enough for 2 1/2 bowls, I had a bowl and my friend had a bowl. As if working with someone who hadn't noticed it was Christmas wasn't bad enough, when I went for seconds, I found he'd chucked the rest away.

You can demand what like for a job. But maybe the filter isn't great, as it makes your voice sound horse.

I know someone who has a Stihl polesaw and a Stihl strimmer on long-term hire with HSS Hire. I don't know the full terms but sounds like the deal with Hilti. I know if there's any problems, he just rings HSS Hire, they come make an exchange and the repair/exchange is part of the deal, with no extra costs. Just had a look on their website. It appears amongst others, they hire shredders, chippers, chainsaws, polesaws, both short & long reach hedge-trimmers, mowers & blowers. But the chainsaws, short reach hedge-trimmers & shredders are electric. While the chippers, polesaws, long reach hedge-trimmers, mowers & blowers, are petrol.

Not used one but if you can afford it and it's going to be used more often than not, get the 560XP. I don't use my 545 every day, though it'll cut through anything I've asked of it, (mainly hardwood). I considered getting the 555 but that was overkill for my needs.

MS 170 D has a cat' fitted and they run hot, (hotter than standard MS 170).

Slitting axe and hatchet for kindling. If it won't split with an axe, then it getting saved for sitting round an outdoor fire. I'm only splitting for personal use, so I can be fussy. Besides, interesting shapes give something to gaze at between chat and sipping.

Ah, I was referring to him having said, "... under the rear wheels". But if you happened to have four handy shovels...

My kind of dog that; looks real but you don't have to feed it, don't have to clear up its mess, don't have to walk it, don't need to feed it and its bark has gone. Not really a dog person.

Have you sliced it yet - does the flesh turn yellow or blue after a minute or so Turns blue_ a definite no no. Turns a lemon yellow_ probable no no. If in doubt, just don't eat it.

Helly Hansen Lifa tops - short sleeve or long sleeve. Warms when cold and wicks well, so just right in summer too. But if you want to save 2/3s on the price, 'Trespass' base-layers are good too.

I like that but one wonders, how many intricate bits snapped off at inopportune moments. I only know one Chinese swear phrase but it covers a great many situations.

A tad chilly at between 1°C to 3°C. The tops had a dusting three days ago. But thankfully now gone. On Tue. it was 0°C when I got up. But the coppice where I was processing is 340m lower and it had had some sun, so a balmy 3°C.

I wouldn't leave my car in a dumb place. But a shovel under my rear wheels would get you nowhere, as I always leave vehicles in gear. Comes of learning to drive/park in mountainous terrain. And my present car is front wheel drive.

That's interesting; what is low temp. bar oil? I gather it's less viscous, does the can state for use in low operating temps. or is it just less viscous than other bar oils; any particular recommended brands?

That sounds like a 'Friday night, Monday morning, Christmas party and New Year's Eve' vehicle.

You're definitely not going to be paid a bonus on this job. And you may not get to keep any of the wood either, unless expressly stated in the contract.

It's how the queen has her cakes presented.

Forecast freeze but throughout day, it was drying and now with a full moon, it cold but no ice. Should be good for the morrow.
