Are you using a press drill or drilling by hand?

The diesel I used was a relic, its true. Sure there are good ones around. I suppose its different strokes - Im a lightweight kind of operator, small van = lightweight gear, maybe less productivity and less money at the end of the day, buy lower overheads as well. All about finding the optimum....

I gave half an hour googling quadcopter forums and "TommyK" - there is a rapper called TommyK in america, but not the same chap.

Want to gain experience but not given the chance

Welcome to the forum Carl. Catch your boss when he's in good form and just say that you'd like his thoughts on something and broach the subject humbly. Stress that you want to improve, don't imply you are "not being given the opportunity" - make it about you not them. -
The only diesel chipper I've used was a horrible stinking thing. Worse that you're exerting and breathing heavily, would find myself holding my breath around it, not nice. Had a go on a petrol one, was lovely to use, just needed a bit more hand processing of the brash. Great thing was that two guys could also manhandle it on flat ground.

Hey, never let real work get in the way of a good meme!

Suppose at the end of the day its about community involvement. If the community doesn't value its environment and assume castodianship of it, there's nothing you can do, except go Big Brother and put cameras everywhere, which nobody wants and doesn't work either.

Which supplier did you use previously? I would like their contact details.

Just out of interest, what is the usual method of poisoning a tree in NZ? Do they just sidle up to it and pour something on the ground next to it or do you have to inject something? Is the commonly used agent traceable to likely points of purchase?

Maybe whats lacking is the sense of existential security people had in the past. Not financial security, but a kind of moral certainly, a faith in the fundamental stability of society and cultural norms and so on. That's gone, probably since the invention of the bomb, more so since the information age - where "culture" can change so radically from one year to the next. It's pretty stressful.

The Stihl electric commercial pressure washers are supposed to be reliable.

Aldi had a fikarsx27 clone there awhile back, a friend bought it and said it was good. We have three x7 hatchets, they're excellent, came with free sharpeners that also do knives.

I'll see your flip-flop and raise you a paddle-steamer... [ame] [/ame]

Is the Trakmet reliable? Looked at some youtube vids of the machines, seems the Trakmet is more versatile and easier on the back. Still a lot to be said for old school simplicity though, and it's getting harder to find.

If you have a lot of very rough boards to do, you could hire a walk-behind floor sander. Foot wide belt, savage power.

Why not make your own safe? 3mm mild steel sheet is not expensive, bit of angle for the edges, drill and bolt or weld if you can. Could be a fun project for the holiday season to escape from the bedlam. Or buy an old riveted steel plate fuel tank like they used to have on farms - cut a door, hangers inside for gear - and it just looks like an old tank - hidden in plain view.

So, what's the Female equivalent of lumbersexual?

Always put a piece of tape over the camera on your laptop or phone - some phones have 2, and one of them is pointing at your face, capturing every treacherous micro-expression as you feast you eyes on....instructions how to kill infidels...or whatever.

Way I read it, not going after the Clintons is taking the high road: I leave you alone - you leave me alone. He's right to not to go there, thats a job for his minions and allies. Get on with fixing the mess, its the grown up way. Hopefully people with less important positions will pursue Hill-Bill, and the rest of the gang.

Way I understand it, Tor does what it says on the tim, unless the people who want to snoop you have really really high end skills and hardware, and reealy want to snoop you. The resources available for those kind of snooping jobs are not infinite, so they will be picking their victims. But if you use it for logging onto Facebook and stuff like that - you just blew it! Best way to retain privacy online is use a generic non-warrantied smartphone - buy it disguised, glue on beard, fake nose, wide hat and shades, there are cameras over the till and they have face recognition software. Never use it in the same place twice. And use code words.

I wish we had a second amendment...I'd quite like a handheld M134-minigun like in Predator - yeeeeha! Sometimes when Im alone in the woods with my 461 with wraparound handle, I like to pretend....

Id say if you hit them with roundup a couple of times theres a good chance the problem will resolve itself. Plants need light to grow, the weeds that are coming up are running on energy stored in their roots/bulbs. Once the roots are dead its over, but organic material will eventually accumulate in the gravel and seeds will germinate in it, so the gravel will eventually become like a layer of soil anyway. It will need spraying a couple of time per year no matter what - that would have always been the case anyway.

I'll check the quadcopter forums. If he's still alive I might even register and stalk him. Could be fun....
