Soak the whole thing in a bucket of warm water with dissolved baking soda for a few hours, then rince.

I got a couple of Van Beest green pin snatch blocks made in Netherlands. They were cheap, €150 each some years ago, 6 or 7 maybe. Rated 4 tonne, but that's for lifting, x5 safety factor, so fail at 20 tonne. They came with built in shackles rated for 6 tonne. Two grease nipples, one of the shackle swivel and one for the bronze bushing. 10-12 mm groove. Each unit weighs 16kg... Massively heavy and strong things, for very reasonable money.

Ah. Hadn't thought that far ahead....

In Ireland as well. Waining sunlight but warm temps, the leaves just fell off green or stayed on and turned brown... personally it doesn't bother me, I'll take brown leaves over freezing temps any time. I do feel sorry for the fashion catalog photographers though.

Did it several times this afternoon (get your mind outta the gutter). Trees on a roadside wall, phone wire on roadside, fell into a field. Holly, elm. Big gob, two chaps pushing with a ladder, made the back cuts with a polesaw. Well sketchy, county style.

The prize should be the elm slab.

150 kg without tongs. (Edited, just re-read the specs, 48" thought it was 24") My kitchen worktop is elm about the same size.

Tested the dumper modification on a job yesterday. 20ft cyprus "hedges". I fabricated a towball plate which attaches to the dumper, and a gooseneck hitch which attaches to the trailer with the aid of 4 g-clamps. Still needs some tweaking. The ball is center of turn, so the dumper can pivot with minimal stress. Trailer ramp (trailer grade plywood) goes on top of the trailer with ratchet straps for a work platform. The trailer weighs about 400kg with all this and a man. The dumper pulled and pushed it no bother on flat softish lawn, but struggled on slopes, especially with turning. It did expedite the work a lot. Gives you around 5 foot extra hight and a very stable footing.

Mullet and chisel job?

The problem, if we accept the "consensus" view as correct, is this: All economic activity, generates CO2. Even so called green jobs, generate C02. People plant trees, let's say, and are paid. They spent their wages, and the goods and services they buy generate CO2. Every time a coin changes hands, CO2 is released. This is because our population runs on fossil fuel. Our other commodities - plastic, metal, timber, food, water and so on, are also dependant on fossil fuels. The only way to stop the release of CO2 is to completely swap out fossil fuel for electric at the ground level. But the building of an all electric infrastructure requires fossil fuel, and will do for many years. If we want to maintain our "standard of living" this is. The other option, is to reduce our standard of living. What this really means, is moving to an essentials only economy, where commodities are rationed, rather than competed for. It means the relinquishment of choice for the masses. The third option is let the fate of humanity play out. Maybe use up all the fossil fuels and starve. Maybe heat up the climate and starve. Maybe the climate heats up and we don't starve and we reduce our consumption by necessity because the supply is no longer there. Unknowns. But people are afraid of the unknown because they have children. Understandably. The problem with the second road is we are talking about communism. Children will grow up in a totalitarian system that artificially limits their potential. Is this a future worth having? In other parts of the world, people will continue to use fossil fuels, climate change or no. They will economically advance and emit more and more CO2. Our changing social model will not prevent this. And the elephant in the room is this: is the hypothesis of the predicted climate Armageddon actually true? And, if so, are we actually causing it? What if the climate is changing naturally, as it did in the past? This debate was quashed by the establishment, in the same way the debate about covid was quashed. It smacks of forceful manipulation and leads many to doubt...

Oh, I understand. Never owned an Ifor myself, not rich enough... I suppose they don't make their own hubs though, the OP could still contact the hub manufacturer.

Call If or Williams head office and get in touch with a company tech. Find out what temp Ifor hubs should expect to get and compare to yours (lazer thermometer). Maybe you will end up having to just replace all the hubs and breaking assembly.

As a bit of a torch nerd, I believe Led Lenser don't use constant current tech in their products. That is, brightness drops as the battery depletes, while most other "good" brands keep the same output until the battery is nearly dead. This used to be the case, it may have changed.

Good find! Fascinating stuff. On page 2 it mentions modern sail power, I read a thing about oil tankers experimenting with massive parachute style sails to cut down on fuel costs. Don't know if it caught on.

Net zero means one of three things: 1. 90+% of us live like medieval peasants. 2. 90+% of us live like 1984 peasants in cities. 3. 90+% of us die from vaccine injury. 4. We also have to nuke China, Russia and India before 2030, because they're not living like peasants anymore and don't seem to want to go back. 5. What's your beef with climate refugees? Diversity is our strength, and we will need them to work the soil anyway. 6. Profit??? 7. Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children!!?

Fear porn nonsense, pushed by the same fake scientists and funded by the same lying cabal that pushed the Covid panic - and for the same purpose: global fascism/communism.

Virtue signaling. The cost of this CO2 reduction will fall on the private sector and bankrupt people. I'm paying an extra fiver to fill the tank of my very efficient wee van now. An extra 50 cents to fill a jerrycan for the saws. Next year it will be another fiver and another fifty cents. Electricity bill is set to rise €300 next year. At present, this is absorbable. Five years down the road, it may not be. Many of my clients are fixed income. I either have to raise my rates and pass the cost on to them, or eat the cost, or split it. If I raise the rate, I lose work. If I don't raise the rate, I earn less. It's all fine for the Davos crowd. Not so for millions of peope like me...and that's just the fuel/energy costs, the knock on effect to the economy is rising costs across the board. The economy is already frigile enough after Covid, debt ridden, unbalanced. This will bankrupt people, make no mistake. Meanwhile China, Russia and India thumb their noses at this nonsense...and what changes? Nothing. I have to eat therefore I have to work, therefore I have to drive, therefore I have to burn deisel. Still going to burn the same amount, just going to be poorer every year... Still, at least I'll be "doing my part" or whatever, to save the lives of hundreds of millions of people yet to be born in the third world, I suppose..

Nice to see Olight and Armytek mentioned. Seems botique torches are finally getting down to the mainstream... Olight have some savage throwers by all accounts.

Better hope it's all talk. Serious action on global warming will cause you to own nothing and be happy.

Problem solved.
