Some strange goings on going on in here today.
-
Are nuns a race? I know they are dying out... should there be some kind of breed in captivity and release into the wild scheme, like we did with Przewalski's horses?
-
Hmm. Yes.
-
Damn right I am, anti-semite, anti-islam, anti-christian (but not, I hasten to add, anti-Christ... top bloke), load of old fackin' nonsense. In this day and age?! Embarrassing for everyone involved. Anyone who still has even a shred of their identity embedded in the god of Abraham needs their head examined.
-
Nah, erase all the borders too. Or, revert back to pre-Judaism borders.
-
An unorthodox solution: ban any sort of religion (specifically in the region, but if it works, we could try globally next...), and force marriages between mixed pairs of Jew/Muslim. Might ruffle a few feathers and take a couple of generations to iron out the creases, but it'll all work out in the long run.

The "rich man's disease"... better cut back on all that foie gras and burgundy.
-
Now THAT is a successful potter.

Ah ha, just wait until you see this little treat I stumbled upon on an evening dog walk a few weeks ago... 20240821_213111.mp4 She was nibbling ivy growing through a hole in the wall, and it must have collapsed in on her. Fairly quick and easy to fix... you know... afterwards.

It's a real dilemma isn't it, 3 grand on a Chinese tracked yoke like that, or 3 grand on a European pair of wheels that you have to lug around yourself... obviously build quality and warranty of a Euro machine has to be considered, but it's tricky maths.
-
Mission accomplished. Bonus sheep! Turned out to be a mother and daughter.
-
The fruit (an aril) are tasty, 1.5 cm (0.59 in) long, blue-purple in color, are eaten by Native American people in Chile, and a marmalade is produced with them. The tree is also occasionally grown as an ornamental tree and a hedge in oceanic climate areas in northwest Europe and the Pacific Northwest of North America. In these areas, it is also sometimes known as "plum-yew" or "plum-fruited yew", though these names are more commonly applied to plants in the genus Cephalotaxus. End quote. Does this mean they share very little in the way of genetics with Taxus baccata, and aren't as deadly poisonous to nibble on? Probably for the best, I suppose, but they've suddenly lost some of their allure. Bluish hue or not.
-
Off to Google I go! I hope it's called that because the berries are as big as plums...
-
Embrace the change in tempo and fall into a meditative mindset for the day, orrr.. ...maintain a higher rate of productivity and bodge job a quick one-handed fix for the machine, leaving your other hand free to pick up new rings, split logs, and stray fingers.
-
Morning all. Off to rescue a sheep from a hole near the mines this morning.
-
-
Ehh. Wherever. Here's grand.
-
Or are you thinking up around 24-28" minimum?
-
Yo Dave, quick question. What's the smallest bar you'd ever consider putting a skip chain on? Obviously we aren't talking full skip on a 10" picco here, but would there ever be any merit on going as low as an 18 or 20 inch bar... depending on what you are cutting?
-
Am I wearing my good jeans?
-
-
All right, stumbling we all understand, but what about bimbling? On the scale of productivity, I'd think pottering scores quite a bit higher than bimbling... Do we need another thread for bimbling?
-
I was about to say, heavy machinery sounds way outside the realm of pottering. I think there needs to be some real discussion about what pottering actually entails.
-
Looks like a horse chestnut......

How segmented? My conker tree has 2 or 3 nuts per husk... (I think... ask again in another month or so...) Could we get a fruit dissection photo? -
Also interested in the answer to this, as I've been doing this on a much smaller machine for a while now! I might shuffle repairing the off switch higher up the To Do list...
