Well, it's the weekend now, does this count as something big? https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/07/13/delingpole-trump-just-dropped-the-mother-of-all-brexit-bombs-on-theresa-may/ The next full moon is a lunar eclipse - a blood moon - and is situated over the UK. Mars closest it's been to earth in 60,000 years and conduct the moon, or sun, I forget which. "Emotions will run high"...

+1 for Sillica. Class remedy for making foreign bodies work their way out...I'm surprised you still sceptical if it worked. As always, I don't blame the scoffers for scoffing, as I would scoff too if I hadn't experienced the power of homoeopathy. Who cares if it's basically magic, if it actually works (by the way, magic is real, and nothing to mess around with).

Worthy of The Donald! (cringe)

Cast iron stoves should pretty much run forever, but two things kill them, excessive heat, and moisture. Burning coal in a stove built for wood will eventually crack the baffles, and introduce heat stress in the plates. And water from condensation or rain getting in the chimney eventually rusts out the top spigot and other parts, but that's more of a problem in old houses which are not lived in enough. The baffles are sacrificial anyway, and should be replaced every few decades.

Been there many times. I use homoeopathic Ledum Palustre 30C (local Boots or health food store). Good for any kind of puncture wound and also tick bites. And the aforementioned cream is good. I always carry a wee bottle of iodine as well, and immediately apply to any puncture, water will not penetrate into the hole if it's small, the surface tension of water is just too great, but the alcohol base of the iodine tincture will. I would avoid antibiotics like the plague, if inflammation is stoping you from working then aspirin would will help.

Where did you buy your blade? I have a consaw already, would like one.

Very interesting, if true. A stateless person, monk, hero and all round good guy. Hope D.T gives him a green card, he deserves one.

Is the Thai gov. gonna charge the coach with negligence I wonder?

Not really a stump grinder but just throwing this out there. Would be grand for wee stumps

Yeah Jordan Peterson FTW. He's coming to Dubs then UK soon.

A prophesy by your's truly: something really big happens re. Brit politics this weekend or next week. There is a partial solar eclipse on Thursday 12th July, at 20 degrees Cancer. This is the same degree as the Moon on the UK natal chart. Bet on something big going down..

...and what is more - you'll be a man, my son...

Experimented with the Florabest first time yesterday afternoon. Better built than I expected, motor quieter and less vibration than expected. Gonna use it at work today with all the attachments and see what happens. The powerhead is a Kawasaki clone apparently.

Most of us practical types are, or can be if need be, Jacks of all trades and master of none/one/some. Most tasks simply don't require a master's level of skill anyway so why pay for it? Never been easier with YouTube to figure stuff out. And the gear for all trades is getting cheaper all the time, with the notable exception of climbing Arb.

Anyone else got one for the really dodgy cuts? For €150 its got to be a cheap insurance policy for a €1000 machine. Plus you now have an emergency pole saw to free the good one if it gets stuck. Bar and chain alone is worth 20 bucks. And a sacrificial hedger if there's scrub to clear with hidden stones. Plus an emergency strimmer for improving access to jobs, getting better visibility of ground conditions around suspect trees, etc. Of course it wont hold up to constant use, but that's not what it's for is it? Fill with Aspen and leave in the truck/van year round and it'll be there to save they day when it's needed. Also when some poor unfortunate comes hat in hand, begging to borrow this or that for half an hour, you can oblige and not feel like a doormat/flint hearted bastard. Well, I just bought one. Gonna put it together tomorrow and report. Nearly broke by 131 yesterday, and have broken it before. Just the price of the shaft is nearly three times the price of the Lidl 4-in-1

Heart surgery, no, but you can DIY your own appendix. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-32481442 he was a trained surgeon though...done some crazy tree stuff in my youth, just thought it was no big deal, realise now how incredibly foolish and dangerous it was. Would not attempt same now. It's ignorance is bliss, people just do things because they don't realise it can't (shouldn't) be done.

I was using mine again today, now feeling I'm quite happy with last year's model. I cannot imagine the new one has a more efficient motor, more likely a seven or eight spline sprocket, giving higher chain speed. The blurb says 35min for the AP200 battery, which is the same as the old model. How can they get more power out if the same battery? Better motor? I doubt it. My guess is a bigger sprocket, thus sacrificing torque for speed. I'm quite happy with more torque less speed, it's easy to grind in the cut, giving very precise control.

Or bags over the wellies when you walk out?

And every raisin was once a sour grape ?

Just retrospectively Googled it Steve - could find nary a mention. It's not on Stihl.com, the only hits I get are the Arbtalkers post and the very briefest of mentions on the Stihl Blog from April - like literally just a throwaway sentence. Oh well.. I was using mine today on a spindly, ivy infested, leaner removal, and it was invaluable. Sometimes it's better to buy at the end of a production cycle when the glitches have been ironed out, rather than first off the belt.

Yeah it's called fairness - "why should the wealthy be penalised for being successful?" It's part of their national ideology (half the population anyway, the other half are more or less commies). Who knows how the tarrifs will work out. Maybe if other countries hadn't slapped tarrifs on US imports years ago D.T wouldn't be giving tit for tat now...

Ever heard of Bamboo Amathyst 9X? Most expensive salt on Earth, over two hundred dollars a jar. It's made in Korea by melting salt in a bamboo tube, wild stuff... traditional medicine in the east, studies are showing that it might actually have some health benefits

Ok that's cool. Re. Trumponomics, 66% of Americans think it's working pretty well... https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/29099-latest-cbs-poll-americans-happy-with-economy

Why the hate for Supply Side? It worked for America under Reagan, and Bill Clinton, and now Trump. Tax rates have been falling steadily across the west for decades and we have become steadily more prosperous and productive. Lower taxes, what's not to like?
