Na you shouldnt be having issues with only months old stuff. Does make you wonder if theyve changed the properties in their oil. Buy a small tub of stihl oil or husky oil whatever as a trail. If stihl oil run it in a stihl saw, if husky oil run it in a husky saw, just to narrow it down and count it out in your own mind. If working ok again using brand to brand, introduce in to another saw, narrow it down again. No persons with a grudge? I presume you have changed pickup filters like spuddog suggested, they can clog up pretty tightly some times, pence in the grand scheme of things to try.

Possibly a how its stored / shelf life issue then. Maybe worth contacting oregon over it. What sort of age would you say it was? Is it a synthetic based bar oil or some of the eco biodegradable stuff?

Do you think colder temperatures could be having an impact? Are you using a relatively new tub / barrel of chain oil which could suggest an issue at oregon’s end or is it a same existing supply you’ve been using for a while? I only use genuine stihl synth+ bar oil to which i’ve never had an issue. But i’m not using my saws daily either.

Would av thought Nolan would take any excess off ya, hes in to chopping and splitting?.

My brother did a bit of work for Chris but that would be 20ish years ago. Very good reputation round these parts too. Where you from OSM?

It amazes me how animals adapt to situations, my mates mum rescues dogs and the amount of road accident encountered dogs shes took in that have suffered lost limbs, damaged eyes, ears ripped off etc and they STILL just battle on like theres nowt wrong, still remain loving and attentive at same time! She had one dog, bit like a sausage dog, lost a rear leg but because she was so long in the body, she struggled on walks to keep her back end up. So when on walks she had a little two wheeled cart that she used to get strapped to her back end [emoji23][emoji23] ace to see. Never bothered her at all, then round the house she just used to manage without, brilliant!!!

As above Mark said by others, sorry to hear. Just mentioned it to my Mrs and straight away she suggested the chair. We’ve no experience of Dutchie’s prognosis but have heard of and seen dogs adapt well to the bailey chair with successful results, mainly seen on tv programmes, and on dog forums, but i’d go for it regardless, its an option at the end of the day and if it helps her to survive then its a winner!

I struggle with knots, can’t seem to get them right.... ever!!! They always seem to turn out and operate like a noose ? I may put this in the gizmo section.... [emoji848] vesp, wana buy it?!

Drive some telegraph poles in to ground and make your floating obstacle to lay between them, then attach some galvanised ring brackets with rollers on em, they can then travel up / down ya poles depending on amount of water collected. Like floating jetties in harbours.

I live in a “quiet respected neighbourhood / town”...... a work colleague of mine from our night shift had just started work at 8PM and i’d just gone off shift and gone home. At half past 8 just cracking top of a can i got a phone call..... could i run across to said colleagues house as his partner had rung up all distressed. She had heard noises in back garden and upon going to investigate she had seen figures stood at the back doors trying the handles to get in!!!! I went across to find her in a quivering wreck, i reassured her things would be ok and the messers had gone and her fella would be home any second too. (They had two kids in bed upstairs at the time) I started to return home, (150yrds away) and i heard rustling from an old boys garage roof?!...... went to investigate and found 5 teenagers with rucksacks, metal bars and neckachieves part covering their faces. Now me being...... quite to very capable of handling myself thought..... hhhmmmm... hows best to play this one? As 5 against 1 is clearly a loss (wish vesp was with me [emoji6]) i kinda called them on it and said whats the crack?... what ya playing at? Three of them were all apologetic and said they meant no harm, the others were dead cocky and arsey! My mrs could see what the crack was through living room window looking down the road so she rang “the police” took 50 mins for a bobby to arrive, never landed at our house where the complaint came from and we never got a report back to say what had come from the “investigation”!!!!!! Still to this day we think WTF??!!! My work mates mrs gave a statement as to what went on whilst in her quivering state..... still to this day she never got an update or outcome on the little sods!!! ?????[emoji35][emoji35][emoji35] So to the likes of a major incident like Grenfell, to a lesser incident like above (but still intimidating and scary to some)......... yeah your police attendance times and actions are not “just” but SHITE!!!
