Last Spanish sunset 2015. Tomorrow we're coming back to rain, rain,rain....
-
Prices have shot up lately... 3.5t market is a sellers market these days. Compared to what you pay for a 7.5t truck...

70k very low mileage for the year. A good buy if it's genuine
-
Not many round our way Eggs. 2 years ago there were loads but now you don't get much for £3k

Can you not find an LDV with a blown engine and transplant your lump into that? (Then continue to save up for something decent) The price of 3.5t trucks is silly at the moment. We payed £3k for an 02 single cab tranny with high sided ally box. I thought that was expensive til I saw what else was out there for ridiculous money. Feel your pain

Very reassuring.

Hi Jon. Last day in Spain 30c... Heading back to the rainy UK tomorrow.

I've use improvised tool strops made out of climbing rope before. But am I right in thinking that in the event of a saw getting trapped in a cut it could potentially pull you out of the tree? Another climber told me of an instance where this has happened. Prefer the bungee type strop myself.

Same here Joe, it doesn't work out for us either. If we had quiet spells it would probably be different but as it is, it's tip the last job and get to the next. Sadly cos we do get some nice timber from time to time.

Might pop me head in Jon. Don't drink anymore but it's always nice to meet arbtalkers.
-
Hi Jon.. It was 32c today mate.

Hi Joe.I know a guy who has grab loader lorries. He does other bits and pieces, machines etc.... I'm back on Thursday Joe. He's in our vicinity I'll ask him and PM you. Timon

Nice one Jon. Went here last night
-
Sure is. Missus and I are staying north of Malaga but visiting family in Mijas.
-
Hi Paul, best ice cream I've ever had. Another sunny day in Mijas. Can just make out North Africa on the horizon. Although not on this photo

Test driving supercars for a Top Gear type show. Or test driving any kind of machine for that matter.

Difficult to say without seeing the job. I'll take a stab though.... Can you set a couple of rigging pulleys high as possible in the tree the main one on the largest stem the other as a re-direct so as to spread the load.? If so use tip ties. Tape slings with karibiners are quite useful for this and you could place all of the slings in one ascent. Doing it this way will mean that you lower the stems butt first and hopefully avoid hanging them up. You will still have to go up and down a bit to cut and then to connect the slings to the lowering line but the main part of the planning and tying would have been done on the initial ascent and you could possibly cut and lower more than one at a time. Just my two penny's worth.

Sadly this kind of reasoning doesn't enter the average Junkies thinking. Some of the guys who come to us are third generation drug addicts. They don't even understand the concept of consideration for others or self respect.

Never mind the Magnum.... Check out this organic Oreo and Pistachio number ........ Closest thing to Heaven this side of eternity.

It's a pity there weren't more incentives for people to want to change. Maybe if the benefits system didn't pay people to be drug addicts it would help. I wonder what percentage of stolen arb gear is stolen to fund drug habits? Sentencing is a joke as well.
-
What about second chances for people who REALLY want to change? Interestingly I've just had all my old jail tattoos removed by laser. I changed.

I think saying that we are"frightening them" into using us is perhaps a bit harsh. If as a business we commit finance and resources to advertising then surely we are entitled to protect the work we have secured through it. Merely pointing out that firms who try and poach work in this manner are obviously more ruthless in their dealings why shouldn't we advise caution??
