As a bollard, it’s fine. The winch thing is still unused in anger. We found the prussick thingy milked modern rigging ropes. Fine on old style three strand.

‘Twas.

Tricky half dead ash over buildings, wires etc. Lots of tag/pull line work. Finish it tomorrow. Was a good day of teamwork and no dramas as it goes.

Quite. I reckon DJT overestimated his influence with Vladimir. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him (DJT) flip sides at some point.

I think the penny is starting to drop.

Will they fit my ‘71 Rayleigh Chopper?

Ok mate, I had planned on stringing you along to fulfill my dream of owning a set of leaf springs for a van, but since you specified “no time wasters” I’ll desist.

At the risk of reigniting the debate, angle grinders both big and small scare me. Jumpy evil bastards.

This was a subject of lots of discussion back in the day. Never hear anything about it now

You’re replying to a post from 13 years ago, but good to hear you’re being safe anyway.

The non turbos were a bit gutless.

Could you tell us what it’s going in?

Depending what it’s going in, I’d put it at 1/10

Worthing scraped a win. Still top, but the forwards seem to have forgotten to score.

Seen those about here. A few youngsters use them to get to work. Handy little things, do the job.

Play up pompey! My mates son is captain of Worthing who are in a tense promotion battle at the top of the National league south. So I’ll be keeping an eye on that game. At the coast this weekend, weather set fair, back feeling better this morning.

Duck I reckon.

Fine if you’re a freelance climber. Not as viable if you’re actually pricing/selling to a client.

An unusual film featuring Clint. Not his best, but worth a watch. I love a bit of Country, and here’s the title song, germaine to the thread I thought.

We’ve had some great weather here lately, ground is hard enough for the loader. So been knocking the work out in good fashion. Even those intimidating ones that visit you at 3 in the morning to give you something to mull over.

I’ve always maintained climbing is largely beneficial for your back, or at least not detrimental. Bending over and picking up sticks or branches to stick in the chipper is not good for the back however. I have a new climber being trained up at the moment. So I’m grounding more than usual, often on easier things like lime repollards, where you picking up hundreds of bits. Feeling it in the evenings. Lots of Vitamin I(buprophen)

50 is a breeze, sure your energy levels are down, but your experience and expertise are at an all time high. Just get on with it!

I mean it’s nice and everything, but..

It’s a 2.0 bi turbo. They are in France where the DC is rare. For obvious reasons.
