I was just making conversation, I won't bother then.

Remind me which bit of the world you're in?

Still here! Calm before the storm this morning, got a good bit of work done... dropping overhanging limbs onto the road... we finished up the first job as the rain turned from vertical to diagonal... then over lunch, they upgraded us from an orange weather warning to a red one, and we decided not to bother with the second job of the day. It's actually fine at the moment, the gusts of 120kph aren't due until the small hours of the morning. I'm supposed to be flying from Ireland West Airport (formerly Knock, for any Pope fans among us) at lunch tomorrow... I guess we'll see about that.

Still no significant leads in the hunt for the gunman who killed Brian Thompson... I guess no-one saw anything, huh... Rather funny: the relative quantities of laugh reactions against crying or hugs on this Facebook post. And I think it's well north of 70,000 by now...

Bullets fired at UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson had words written on them, officials say WWW.CBSNEWS.COM "Deny," "defend" and "depose" were written on shell casings recovered at the scene of the shooting that killed...

Anyone stripped and replaced the motor on a stihl Msa 200

Jesus, how long was their extension cable?! -
Of course the whole thing is a fake, they filmed it all on a soundstage on Mars.

Mine is second hand, I'm not exactly precious about it, and it's still holding together just fine! I have heard, from other people, that the toeless tensioner is a little bit better than similar Stihls, but I wouldn't be able to compare them I'm afraid. And for the record, I find the Stihl vs. Husky superiority battle tedious and unnecessary. Just something I've heard.

345, not pictured: 372.

Much tidier than my day. 40-odd ash either pushed into the field and gently snipped to 3 ton digger sized pieces; or dropped onto the road, snipper, then smashed back through the hedge with said digger. Same thing tomorrow. Rain all day today, vertical. Worse rain tomorrow, horizontal, with orange weather warnings in place for Storm Darragh. Might bring a spare pair gloves.

Ah, the poor wee thing. The dog, not Kevin.

How many cyclists with dynamos on a stationary bike to get 7.5kw?

There's another thread somewhere asking about replacing the motor in a 200. Could the 220 motor fit into the 200 chassis I wonder? Mine is fine for now, something to think about in the future though. Edit: regarding heated batteries needing to cool down to charge... I suppose that's why God invented tea breaks!
-
I just ask for sn extension cable to be available if I know I'll be burning through both my batteries. By the time ggst happens though, I've generally switched to the bigger saw. If anyone knows off the top of their head what the difference in spec between the 200 and 220 is, I'd love to hear it. Are we absolutely certain it isn't just a bigger sprocket and bar?
-
I mean, if there's enough interest I could probably come up with an actual factual prize? Up until now it was just a healthy dollop of the respect and admiration of your peers.

Not played with a 300, and don't know exactly what you mean by "heavy-duty arb work", but you'd likely be disappointed with both options if you mean genuinely heavy duty. That said, I love my 200, it does exactly what I ask of it, and I recommend them to anyone who asks. But yeah...clarification needed as to what you define as heavy duty!
-
Send me a stamped addressed envelope and I'll post it all to you, that's 300-800 quid easy made for you! What's your guess?
-
Interesting, thanks. I'll write your entry down in the book. You're the defacto winner so far.

This is just something we are all going to have to try and move on from. My door is open if anyone needs to talk about it. Thoughts and prayers, everyone. 🙏

What's popping dudes, anyone want to guess what volume of chip from these sycamores? Not whole tree, separating out the firewood but not being silly fussy about it. About 4 or 5m³, I'd have thought? Not even that? Prize for whoever gets the closest. Also, anyone know where I can sell 4 or 5 cubes of jigsaw puzzle cord wood?
-
That's all well and good, but what if the tree is further away than my extension cable will reach?

My folks are into their third decade of rescue hens, you see some sorry looking birds coming out of those sheds. I appreciate the reasoning behind it, and it's great that the birds involved get a second chance of life, but I can't do it. I feel as though it legitimises the industry to an extent... give us 12 months of hard labour, and then you can go free!

Egg yolks are the perfect source of energy and nutrients for chickens... it's literally what they are designed to do, it's just that the usual intended recipient is still inside the shell with the yolk. Add a bit of crushed shell for calcium and some oats for calories and roughage, and you've got a poultry superfood. A mother hen sitting on a clutch of eggs for 3 weeks, then however long it takes before she can safely go and forage with her babies, will happily eat any eggs or chicks she considers non-viable if she gets hungry enough. For the greater good!
