    Just before sunrise on a beautiful Saturday morning, dog walked, no hangover to speak of, bacon sarnies to come and just enough to do to keep me occupied all day.

    Not directly mine, I heard it somewhere..
  3. Mick Dempsey
    Not going to look. The more I see of humans the more I like dogs.

    Man’s a fool, I genuinely was wrong about the guy. Turns out the lovable buffoon act was not an act. Sooner he goes the better.

    I really want to read about the monkey flushed down the toilet now being cared for by monkey world, but I know it’ll upset me. Couldn’t give a toss about a Monterey pine.

    Bit of an audience today.
  7. Mick Dempsey
    Not me, from a French site. Thought it rather neat.

    Wait till it’s your birthday, ask nicely and be gentle.

    Good news I guess, or not if you’re rear-ended by some youngster with a 2.5tonne digger behind his pickup.

    Those machines are turning nightmare TDs into, if not routine, very doable in a day jobs.

    Isn’t there a thing whereby they are trying to stop people turning their front gardens into drives everywhere? Cos it ruins the look of neighborhoods and causes more flooding cos of hard standing. You have to admit that the front of the house with a nice garden looks a lot better than two parked cars up to the front door. Maybe the council are trying to draw a line under this sort of thing.

    Shut up! That’s an Action Man you put up there, tree is 12 ft tall.
  13. Mick Dempsey
    Shit! Can’t buy the stuff, but fingers crossed.

    It’ll be fine to rig (a closer look once you’re there is advisable) but keep it small and try to get the groundy to run it. From my armchair of course.

    The tree was either topped out or lost it’s top in a storm, multiple leaders was the result with weak attachment points. They want it out, take it out.

    I think he means your bank balance.

    Don’t think you’re right, it gets pulled because of the Venturi effect (initially at least) that’s why when the wind is blowing it pulls better.
  18. Mick Dempsey
    That explains an issue I had a few years back.
  19. Mick Dempsey
    How easily they tip?
  20. Mick Dempsey
    You’re just a shill for Big Woodstove.
  21. Mick Dempsey
    Ah yes, I can understand your confusion.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Can you put up a few photos? Usually creates a bit more interest.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Very true or you may have to fight a Gorn to the death to decide the fate of your species, which can be a nuisance.

    You remember when Kirk and the landing party get stuck on a cold planet? Kirk would get a phaser and fire it at a rock which would glow red with heat and they’d all warm their hands round it. That’s exactly how woodburners work. You use energy to heat up a big piece of cast iron which stays hot like that rock. (well maybe not)

    Yes, I had to do that with a couple of Arboteaters that I started off with. Could be a number of things, but in the meantime operating the stop bar to hold the rollers on an ancient machine like that isn’t the end of the world.
