Not only for the chainsaw kickback but also for teeth flying off circular saws or a grinding wheel breaking up. There was a fatality locally when a piece of grinding wheel broke off and by bad luck flew in between the tiny gap between his helmet and his jacket and severed his jugular. Worth thinking about these products now we have had our warning [ame=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hatch-Centurion-Kevlar-Protection-Black/dp/B001F6C7JA]Hatch Centurion Kevlar Neck Protection, One Size, Black: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors[/ame] [ame] [/ame]

I just love it when you see an elderly man like that, putting on a great performance Fumbling with his microphone, you wonder what is going to happen next. I just watched a youtube clip of Pinetop Perkins aged 96 limp onto the stage and have great difficulty in taking his coat off. Then slowly approaching the piano with his walking stick Put it on at 3.10 as it is quite inspiring. [ame] [/ame]

No serious harm in breathing wood smoke | ScienceNordic

We used to supply dry seasoned wood to an old fella some years ago who insisted on sprinkling the load with water to make it last longer. We used to laugh about it but it seems he was light years ahead of his time! On the subject of harmful fumes, my parents and their parents and their parents all sat beside roaring open log fires for most of their long lives and not one died before they were 87, many well into their 90s. Has anyone known of a person dying from lung problems or lung cancer by using wood to fuel their fires?

Definitely Isis, better watch your back in that area! https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/92/fb/56/92fb564e26bd51cfe5f54ab6d144058d.jpg

I thought that the recommendation was to keep people calm and quiet after a heart attack! Thank you for the other information, so my mother obviously had not driven again after the war and would not have kept her rights, so she left this life still believing that she was a trucker!

I still take my 1952 classic car for a test each year even though according to the rules I never need to have it tested ever again. I worry about the insurance and being sued in case of an accident. I am a brilliant mechanic (aren't we all!) but a man's gotta know his limitations as Clint would say. I often miss things, as does the MOT mechanic and it helps to have a second opinion Perhaps a full test every 2 years and a quick appraisal in between for modern cars

My mother was in the WRNS in the war and before she went her uncle persuaded her to take her driving test. When she ended up at the Naval Station at Treligga in Cornwall aged 17, she found that she was the only Wren there with a licence so she had to drive the ambulance and the fire tender, both large machines but the fire tender really was a quite big lorry, which #i think towed a big trailer, so she always maintained that she had a licence to drive a lorry till the day she died Was she correct?

If you fitted a pedal to the other side as well, you could operate it with your feet. Not quite sure of the details of that application!

Thanks for that. Every time I see your name here I keep thinkiing of this! [ame] [/ame]

How to feed a family of four for a week on £28 by a French Chef Instagram chef Miguel Barclay creates 28 gourmet dinners for £1 each | Daily Mail Online

Can you or anyone recommend a cone splitter that has stood the test of time. I see some on ebay for about £150 from Poland with a couple of spare tips. Screw Type Log Splitter 150 mm firewood SPLITTER CUTTER CHOPPER They are about 6 inches or 150 mm in diameter or are these only suitable for hand fed machines.

The gear ratio is 3:1 so I presume 540 will end up around 180 rpm But we are talking unknown torque of an unknown motor from an unknown power/flow from a Teleporter hydraulic system It will have to be a case of suck it and see. The worst that can happen is that it becomes stuck fast in a large log and will not reverse out In which case I will be really screwed!

As a farmer I am inclined to say a ban on Roundup may be what it is needed to make people more aware of the value of their food. Food is far too cheap, people in general in the Western World are vastly overweight with all the problems that follow, diabetes, hip and knee replacements overloading an already overloaded hospital system. A few bread queues and bread at £10 a loaf would be a good start.

Or stop sending up tons of bloody fireworks polluting the atmosphere!

Do you think my setup would have enough power to operate an Atom splitter or any large cone splitter?

Good question, maybe because I was not at all sure about 1. the knackeredness of the motor, 2, the power of the hydraulics on the Matbro spare valve. 3, the speed of the motor Probably mainly because it seemed easier to fit in place of the pto shaft with just a simple collar, plus it was easy to take off and put back on the 3 point linkage mounted assembly if it did not work on the teleporter. I also think it may be difficult to combine a motor straight on the auger when mounted on the bucket. There was smoke enough coming out of my ears thinking about this design!

AT long last I have adapted the pto driven post hole digger to work on the front of the Teleporter [ame] [/ame] It used to be mounted on the three point linkage and was very tiring and neck aching to operate as well as a lack of control for stopping, starting and pulling out of the ground. Plus there was no weight to push down a little when needed on occasion. Manoeuvring into position and making the auger vertical was also difficult. I used an old track drive motor from a JCB swing shovel which is probably past its sell by date but seems to work. It has a casing relief outlet which normally is connected to the return but I just put a length of hose on the union and stuck it in a 5 litre container. It leaked enough to fill the 5 litre container after an hours work which I presume indicated that the motor is worn. It stalls quite easily but works well if used gently. I quite like the stalling as it acts as a safety valve in case I hit something really hard. I also like the ability to straighten the auger by twitching the steering or adjusting the boom. I think that the auger is going a little faster than I would like but I am not too worried because of the stalling. Putting all the trees and stakes and guards in the bucket is another bonus so everything is to hand. I planted thirty oak trees by myself in under an hour, all about three years old. The auger is able to swing in any direction but this does not seem to affect its ability to make a vertical hole. It also allows it to swing up out of the way for transport. I see in this video the fella has fixed an "Atom Splitter" to a very similar auger so I may try one of those in due course for the large logs. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-K8JtgjtBM[/ame]

Nah, that was the answer to "what is six times nine!"

But who states that you have to take a diagonal line? No one I add the "C" shape of G 11 to B 6 to P 20 to make 37 I take the mirror image and add S 23 to B 6 to make 29 The missing number must therefore be 37 minus 29 = 8 or the letter D
