  1. NATO rides the US Coat tails. Its high time the US didtch the other members and let them FA&FO. Intersting you call Trump out for not having all chairs in the Ballroom. Can you link me to a quote where you said the same thing about a very obviouly dementia ridden Biden and his utter corruption and inability to string a sentence together. The hypocracy from certain folk should be astonishing but its no surprise so many libtards are so blinkered.
  2. You've just put an order in for a 10" Peterson, right? I've just picked up a used model myself. I plan to do remote milling for customers with it and mill Oak Beams etc. But I'd like to offer customers 2"x4", 4" posts, 6" Posts, 2"x6" etc. On the practice log Im working on I ripped 14 of 2"x6" in 30 minutes. If I had a helper it would be significantly faster. I've been told localluy we're £30 for a 4.2m x 2" x 6" board. Sounds steep to me and I need to look more into it. But if thats the case on my tod I can rattle out 28 boards in an hour on a good sized log. Obviously there is a lot of prep time and waste removal before you get to the good stuff. But in an hour I could produce £840 worth of 6"x2" boards. I could sell at half the price of a Timber Merchant and still make good coin and they'd save a fortune. I'm trying to figure out how best to advertise this though.
  3. Genuine question, how would that be achieved? They have to be over 50 years old. So no one around to vouch for them. Cut the end off and have a look? Sniff test? Its like Green and Purple Heart. Its falls into folks laps for free and they think its a goldmine.
  4. Gotta be worth £200 to the right person?
  5. Well funnily enough I met with both Tom and Jerry today at thier Scottish site. I was getting training and accretted. Was a great day and learned how to properly use the Mill plus Tom did a cracking job of dialing the Mill in properly.
  6. So I bit the bullet and bought the 10" Peterson that was on Facebook Market Place. A few teathing problems but think Ive got the hang of it. I'll flip this log over and that will allow me to get all the dimentinal timber I need plus one wide slab.
  7. Its bizarre. In their heads they must believe their tabling a solid argument.
  8. yes, very much so
  9. Im done with you now.
  10. Voluntarily taking regular cognitive tests to prove to the smooth brains he is not loosing his marbles. If he refused to have regular cognitive tests you smooth brains would ask what is he trying to hide. Acknowledging that at his age there is an increasing risk of "losing his marbles" should be lauded as responsible yet somehow those so blinded by hate manage to twist it to suit their own pathetic agenda. Jog on Shoe size.
  11. Im genuinely flabbergasted by how you can turn a positive into a negative. I have to take a blood test pre and post off-shore trip due to coming in potential contact with toxic materials. How many other 46 years old have to have this many blood tests a year? Not many I recon and with good reason, its not needed not relevant. What relevance would the number of cognitive tests for regular 80 years have in comparison to the Commander in Chief of the most powerful military force this world has ever seen? I genuinely wish you could see how pathetic you come across to anyone with an IQ above your shoe size.
  12. Im in the market for a Lucas or a Peterson. Ive messaged about this Lucas but if you have the details regarding the Peterson Id appreciate it.
  13. I had over 50kg of Cherries this year. A mix of sweet and sour cherries. The Sweet Cherry Wine is lovely but the Sour Cherry is really nice, almost Port like taste and colour. I also do Red Wine Kits, I prefer the Wine expert Private Reserve Kit. A bit pricey at £120-£150 for 30 bottles but the quality is amazing. The £50 kits are great as well and aging them in Oak Barrels really improves the taste, if oaked wine is your thing. I'll also have a kit of Porter on the go most months. I used to be heavily into all grain brewing and all the science that goes into that but its too much faff to have a brew day and all the cleaning that goes along with that. I "used" to distill as well. Around 95% with my full reflux still. If I "was" doing Rum then its the continuous still as it retains the flavour of the mash.
  14. That will keep you going for a couple of weeks in the coming winters.
  15. I hear its not an easy thing to deal with. Stay strong Les.
