  1. Did you mod the exhaust?
  2. Wordle 1,606 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  3. 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.
  4. You’re right to do so. You get a bit more space here, so your guarding becomes a bit more laissez faire.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Who is that addressed to?
  8. 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
  9. Picked this up today, 2.7 tonne Komatsu. No spring chicken but seems straight enough, no obvious faults (!) Probably just put a thumb on for a start. Not strictly for arb, but will come in handy around the place, can be moved on my trailer and I might upsell a bit of digger work.
  10. I have little interest in the device itself, but I am interested in the marketing and how, or how it doesn’t gain traction with the small niche community that is tree climbers. You have to admire these companies that spend years doing R&D on these things for not much return except the prestige of manufacturing the “go to” My young trainee climber is reasonably interested and excited, he uses my ZZ plus when he uses a device. If he can be persuaded to part with his hard earned in the coming months, they’ve done well.
  11. Wordle 1,604 4/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Been away for the weekend. Good to see Doug hasn’t lost his magic touch.
  12. Real Madrid tour
  13. I know it blew up. We’ve sort of had this conversation before.
  14. Yes 1844 38hp
  15. Grinder finally turned up after its tour of European capitals. Seems small, but ergonomically better than the Rayco. First day at work Monday. i’ll let you know.
  16. What a bizarre thought process! They don’t want a slice of it, they want the lions share, to be the big dog, to dethrone the Zigzag, to be a game changer. The best rises to the top, partly through word of mouth, partly through social media.
  17. You get the one thing that just works by having lots of things trying to be the best. Competition breeds innovation.
  18. No, but that looks the business..
  19. Quel cauchemar!
  20. Clear up the workshop a bit, bit of maintenance, but basically yes, a day off.
