  1. Blimey Mark! At this rate they’ll rename the route from the Great Sept of Baylor to the Red Keep ‘Mark J Avenue’
  2. Can’t do anything whilst Igor sleeps on my lap. It is the law.
  3. Raining (again!) On my own this weekend, nothing on really, bit of pricing, bit of maintenance, talking to the dog.

  14. It’s my weekend retreat.
  15. I think, in all fairness, that is the worst table I’ve ever seen. Edit, I realise that like me you’re a speed wordler, trying to get it done before starting work. That can lead to this sort of catastrophe.
  16. Wordle 1,075 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Crazy stupid on line 3, but, considering the start….

  25. I believe that is why Avant made it ‘lightweight’ both in actual weight and pulling capacity. They don’t want it to be used for heavy pulls for the reasons you mentioned. It is no match for a proper forestry winch for sure. Heres Avants sales video There’s a hell of a lot of power through the wheels on these machines so for most applications, pulling over back leaners, getting large lumps out of tricky places etc. I can use the machine direct or with a rope or chain. I want it to bring maybe 60 spindly acacia up a steep slope (too steep to drive down safely) to a ‘landing point’ (a mini forestry job) where reversing the Avant with a rope on repeatedly would be….inefficient. It was only 1200 quid all in, light enough to load on the pick up by two blokes, so bringing it to a job doesn’t involve extra trailers or hassle. I will test it later and put a vid up.
