Mars is the ultimate goal I think.
-
Not deliberate, per se. It failed to dump the boosters or something. But from what I’ve read it wasn’t a disaster. Getting it off the ground was the key part.
-
As I understand it, getting the thing off the launch pad and upwards was the main objective. It was never going to the moon.

I kept putting my climbing rate up to him as I was earning more and more on my own work. Then (as a consequence) he hired a full time climber and I was frozen out, but business is business, it forced me to go 100% independent. Except for the odd job where I came in on his work with machinery and my own groundy.

When I was in the UK I had a mate with whom I used to work, in fairness we’ve been friends since we were 11. He had better work than me usually. When I worked for him he would honestly tell me when he had good money on a job and reward me better. If it was tight I’d help him a bit on price. It all evened out.

Have you 4 minutes to fill in an Arb survey for Green Skills Hub?

I did it, some very silly questions. -
I understand there’s different methods. I just replicated what I do with the round file on a standard tooth.

Usually it’s a case of cherchez la femme.

Like many I have heard and seen a bit about this method. Bit of a dark art/years to learn etc. So I was buying some files and saw this one and bought it a few months back. Couple of stock 550s in everyday use, had an afternoon free so, without looking at any tutorials or the like got busy. Now I don’t know if the edge will last, but it’s pretty fricking tasty in wood (this is spruce btw) I was on my own so getting a vid was difficult so apologies for that. See what you think.

The converted always make the best preachers eh?

There’s a special pleasure in using loaders for those of us who have hand-balled brash onto a flatbed transit, or cut massive trees into rounds and then cheese triangles, then loaded then into a wheelbarrow then onto a truck, only to see crimson on their arse-wipe the next morning.
-
Massive included bark by the look of it. As has been said, needs an on-site visit.

The Fox News thing is rather sweet, and another one coming down the line from another company. Lying just to tell their core audience what they wanted to hear for fear they’d go elsewhere if they heard the truth.
-
I do, see if I can find it.
-
Interesting idea, would get very short shrift from most wives I reckon.

Are the powers that be a different species?

Still lighting ours every evening, I don’t stack it up overnight though.

Love these rants where the poster hints at the whole David Icke/lizard people thing, but stops just short. In other words Don’t go full Moonbat Never go full Moonbat

I’ve put a big loop with a bowline at the end (poor photo, difficult to see I know) I will girth hitch the branch (is that the right terminology?) the snap the Krab on the zipline.

Yeah, that’s a gibbon -
They’ll do for my purposes.

I have noticed an uptick in this sort of thing in 2023. -
Rattled out half a dozen for some Douglas we have to do soon, no trunk wood just branches. August Hunicke eat your heart out!
