They told him NOT to approach the giraffe...he disregarded the rules. Go Team Giraffe. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6217131/giraffe-kills-man-carlos-carvalho-south-africa/

Victorinox Spirit on my belt. Useful as a third hand. Tools are easy to extract and practical, file is very aggressive, saw is good, blade is good, prybar/screwdriver/cap lifter is thicker than that of every other tool going and really works as a prybar. Used the chisel loads of times. The only sour tool is the tiny scissors which is too small, but does work well for cutting zip ties on thing you can't afford to slip and scratch with a blade. I like the Victorinox steel, it feels a bit springy, not prone to deformation.

Edit - don't need that info on the internet. Come back to haunt me when I'm running for office..

Yeah his TIP broke and he fell and fractured his pelvis. He's very gung-ho, done time for sticking up a convenience store with a sawed-off because he was "depressed"... big hammer and sickle tattoo on his chest, yeah, not my kind of person, but I still sub and watch ever vid he produces (very prolific)...

Phenolic, trailer deck ply - incredible stuff. Twice the price but wow it lasts and lasts...

Skilled construction will always generally pay better than arb. Building is constructive, whereas arb is - lets face it - demolition. People pay for something they want and aspire to have, ie. buildings, which are A)-an investment. B)-permentant and C)-regulated by masses of red tape, thus weeding out the real low-ball operators. Tree removals, and really, apart from occasional reductions and remedial work that's mostly what we do, isn't it? are not something people want to pay for. Its a troublesome expense for folks, and so they don't value it, like having the septic tank emptied or the car fixed.

Stihl already sells a consaw with fuel injection, it's 14" disk and about $1,600 American.

I find taking the time to explain exactly WHY the job is impossibly difficult can get one off the hook. Although it always requires a lengthy engineering/biology/chemistry lesson to get them up to speed, most people are intelligent enough to grasp the situation. Once they are in the picture and realise the reasons why it's nearly impossible, or will be impossibly expensive, they're more sympathetic and also appreciative that you took the time to educate them. If they still want to go ahead with a waste-of-money job then fine, at least they go in with their eyes open. Or may be more receptive to alternative ways of doing it. But again, I'm also in a rural boondocks type environment so I want to stay friendly with everyone, this approach might be a waste of time when you're dealing with people you don't know and will never meet again...

Funny thing, my girlfriend was filling potholes yesterday and found an egg inside the gravel pile. It had been there for some time, as the shell was pitted and rough. We didn't know what to make of it, and thought it might be an egg shaped stone from the quarry, a sign of portent or something...so I whacked it with a stick and it proved to be a normal egg, albeit a smelly one. After much brainstorming we figured a neighbours dog must have buried it in our gravel heap

I got mine rebuilt a few years ago. Top end, replaced coil and vibration mounts. Good for another 20 years of occational use...nothing quite like it.

If it's only for small diameter stuff you might be better off with a battery (Makita) reciprocating saw - saber as or sawsall, you know - there's a crowd in America that make silky-style curved pruning blades for them, I think they're called Forest Farm. I'l try and find the vid of their product. The "naked" Makita saber saw would be much much cheaper than Stihl or Husq battery chainsaws. -
I hope you're right. Cos if this business is a false flag plot by UK and US and precipitates a nuclear war then we could find ourselves on the wrong side of history. I want to believe that Assad is a monster but I have a bad feeling it's a stitch up by shadowy western power brokers...I predicted ww3 would kick off in 2018 - twenty odd years ago, using pendulum dowsing. Now I've just read that a psychic who predicted the election of Trump also predicted the war would start around April 13th 2017 by way of a false flag operation in Syria. Well he appears to be off by a year, but that's not unusual. My theory is the world powers have been moving g toward war for some time, with Obama preparing the ground for Clinton to do the deed. Trump upset the plan, but now seems to be on board with it, knowingly or not.

Where the UK goes, the Rep. follows. In general. The two islands have thousands of years of shared history, shared culture - for the most part - language, legal systems etc. The Anglophone nations will always pull together when the chips are down.

Prediction: Mogg becomes PM and saves your country in the final hour. And saves Rep. of Ireland along with the UK. Mogg is the only true adult in british politics at the moment...

Auld Connor McGregor is after flushing his career down the crapper...what a muppet, national embarrassment.

Yes, but swing for the nose, not the jaw - those teeth! Could get a nasty infection...

I wonder often about this. I was a bit young to be socially impacted by the terrorism of the IRA, but I would imagine and hope the vast majority of southern Irish felt pretty awful about it. Same deal with British and Russian football hooligans smashing up other country's infrastructure. I suppose we'll never know, but I would like to know what percentage of the muslim population in the west truly condemns this kind of thing - the sexual predation, as well as ISIS murders. No point in circulating a questionnaire I suppose.

Seconded - exact same fix here and it improved by about 30%, but still not as good as a groundie helmet with the same chipper muffs.

Rated pull and rated lift are not always the same KN force, depending on winch. Tirfor are rated for deadlift, which IIRC is 2.5 times "pull" - and the standard pull based on a concrete block of a given weight pulled across a flat concrete floor. Then there is gradient, friction, angle of pull etc. US Army field manual Vehicle Recovery is useful for tables and so on

Yes indeed, the far right, far left and ISIS are all cut from the same cloth. Problem is, it's sociably acceptable to hold far left sympathies these days, so it's the far left who are the true danger to civilisation, since they are the "evil triplet" who are most likely to gain traction, and in their wake, Islamofacism. What we need is old fashioned conservatism, which is not far anything.
-
Actually Islamofacism and Far Left Liberalism are very similar under the surface. At first glance they're different, but look deeper. Both ideologies fetishise totalitarian control of speech and thought, both hate Judeo-Cristian Conservatism. Both are hostile to true science, open discussion and immune to self-analysis.

Ha! I was looking at those this afternoon, be great for cleaning saws but I think they supply high pressure/low volume, so wouldn't work : (

The first pic shows the old carb and how it mated with the dangler. The second is the new carb, installed, with the dangler dangling.
