  1. My little wood burner thrives on those 3" pieces that I salvage when I'm cutting wood and they give good heat as well as getting more in the stove as you can pack them round the bigger pieces. They have to be seasoned but they are ready quicker than the bigger chunks as well.
  2. I've had a look at the hem on my Husqvarna trousers and I've come to the conclusion that if I needed to cut 2" off the bottom and stitch them back up with the same colour cotton they would be identical to the way they are made and no-one would know any different and if I caught my ankle with the saw it would work just the same as it does now.
  3. Could have been worse, could have been me Start again fresh tomorrow.
  4. Get down off the settee if you're casting and get down the poodle parlour for a trim Friend of mine years ago had hair like copper wire so he cut it short and wore a hat most of the time.
  5. Snow has about all gone here but it still feels cold enough for more.
  6. Grumpy ? Cos he can't find pants to fit and his wellies chafe his crotch.
  7. Common sense will prevail If you cut 4" off the bottom to stop them dragging in the mud and tripping you up they will be safer and if still over your boots how can there be a problem ?
  8. Cut them off and get them hemmed. I have a sewing machine but you could use the iron on stuff.
  9. If it's going to break the brake handle off carrying the saw with it it's not a very good endorsement. You should be able to give it a good whack and it should stand it if it's got to work in an emergency.
  10. That's how it works, the district council has it's own team and runs the local Rangers as well. They have everything you could think of including log mill, stump grinders and chippers. I like their open weekend at Elvaston Castle where they showcase their work and a lot of other exhibitors put their wares and skills on display.
  11. My wife has the same problem and the English language doesn't help at all. I want three volunteers, you, yew and ewe
  12. We all understand plogs talk on here
  13. Our parish council has a lad and dad who do odd jobs round the local amenities and I think they only have a Rav4 with a trailer, a petrol strimmer and a Stihl 181. They still get the job done hiring a flail mower and other bits when needed, plodding along at their own pace.
  14. I got some Dickies clip ons that look like a tape measure to hold my ordinary jeans up and they work well with good clips and they are wider elastic than cheap ones so more comfortable.
  15. We see a lot of Buzzards round here now whereas they were seldom seen about 5 years ago. There are also less Kestrels but more Sparrowhawks round here now, we sometimes get one in the back garden catching the blackbirds by surprise.
  16. Is the Holly one of those Willoughby species ?
  17. Snowing and settling here about an inch on the road outside.
  18. If Motomix is like Aspen I had to richen the L screw a bit to stop it bogging and turn the tick over up when I started using Aspen in my 135
  19. I've seen logs on an uncovered log pile sprout new leaves after a year on there. Cut it back it will do everything in it's power to thwart you.
  20. That's a pretty good sign that it was perished. Have you still got the old silencer if you suspect the new one of being restrictive ?
  21. Poppy will be down when she gets hungry and thirsty enough.
  22. How does that quote say aspenarb when spud just said it in the previous post ?
  23. I'll join your chapter with my Raleigh Chopper.
  24. Get mediaeval on it's ass
  25. What happened di it kill him ? I have a Chinese 25cc that runs o.k. with a bit of attention now and then but it's a bit flimsy, alright for little jobs now and then and it's not cost me a fortune if I wreck it.
