Got round to that chestnut, big bastard, long since dead. Glad it’s over. Leaving the bottom 4 metres. c70dacd0-8881-4314-b7ae-1ac1b6883e0f.mp4

Mornin’ Stubs et al. Finally getting back to dismantle that bloody great dead chestnut that had the hornets nest in. Early finish as long as it doesn’t kill me.

I may be wrong, but isn’t the Vari-track system still under world wide patent? Didn’t GM successfully sue Forst for nicking it? Is it possible that’s what Alamo were really after to use in the American market? Uninformed speculation from me, happy to be schooled.

I have had a couple of GMs, good machines, British made, supported by people who cared. Their inevitable disappearance make me a bit sad if I’m honest.

We want to see your #ArbInAction pictures!

Wordle 1,608 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Started this morning, getting nowhere fast. Revisited this arvo, all falls into place.

Yes I checked that. He needed to replace all the fuel lines, clean the tank and some injection cleaner or the like. Anyway, not my problem.

Non, un Rosbif.

Anyway, funny story, picked it up and was dicking around with it getting used to the controls and it cuts out, restarts then cuts out. Phoned the seller who said that it was a problem he thought he’d fixed by replacing fuel lines and filters, but said to bring it back and he’d give me back the money, which I duly did. Fairs fair, a man of his word. So I’m still diggerless.

Don’t be so salty Joe. It was a perfectly valid question/obsevation, resulting in some interesting answers.

What’s the point of living if you can’t have a glass of something nice of an evening?

And my shirts and even my stomach got a little burn.

Morning Stubs et al. Breezy and mild here. Easyish birch takedown then a 100 quidder on the way home. Shouldn’t be too testing.

They/he are still ironing out niggles afaik.

Was watching Sky international news in Madrid at the weekend. Anyway Trump did a news conference with Orban (Hungarian President) Orban’s spoken English was superb, explaining complex deals and issues around gas and oil imports, using phrases like “can I just clarify here as words are important” then explaining this and that in terms that you could really understand. Including that they get fined €1 million a day for not accepting their quota of immigrants (apparently) In contrast DJT sat there like a dummy, parroting the same thing 4 times till I turned over as it was driving me insane. Orban is painted as some right wing proto fascist nut job by the BBC, watching him speak in perfect English would not further that, so we don’t see it. I found that interesting. I’ll see if I can find it on YouTube. go to 14 minutes.

Did you mod the exhaust?

Well you could be a bit more proactive yourself. If you want to raise an issue just do it, there isn’t any rules that say you only discuss what’s already up there. It might get you free from the pointless spiral of argument you seem trapped in.
-
You’re right to do so. You get a bit more space here, so your guarding becomes a bit more laissez faire.

I thought at first visibility would be poor, but you can just stand at arms length as you can see. Better ergonomically than the Rayco, built for the size engine it uses. Rayco is better built, but harder to use. Early days of course.

I rarely use screens, only if I’m right in front of patio windows or the like. Not saying they’re gay or anything, just using them makes you bi-curious, which is ok and everything, just no hugging.

Who is that addressed to?

Take the piss if you must! First stump with the new grinder, getting used to the single lever control. c00f38ad-ddbc-4797-8210-a74c1ffc7be2.mov
