Good boiling bird, regardless off the age. Best chicken soup is from an old hen.

Scrambled egg, added crushed shell optional, added oatmeal optional, is what I feed chickens that need TLC. Expectant mothers, generally, not sick chickens. My sick chickens generally get told to buck up or bok off.

I enjoyed mine today, certainly. Hire machine, but brand new teeth in it... worked like a dream today. Three days knocking down an overgrown hedgerow, holly and hazel and hawthorn, separating the timber and making sure the rest is all stacked neatly... then chewing through the pile from one end to the other, the machine didn't stop all day.

Probably because a lot of people have you set on Ignore.

Yeah, a hammer or a round plate, that'd be ideal. They recommend their own specific 11mm line for it, but it looks like you could squeeze another few mm into it, it looks pretty spacious. 600g.

Well that looks pretty effective. I like the bight feeding solution, but I feel the tooth at the top could be a bit more pronounced...

I do tend to cast a suspicious eye towards anyone wandering around in the woods without at least one dog. I can loan you one for a while until you find the right candidate? I've been asked to look after a foxhound of my late friend's, his recently orphaned children (15, 16, 23 with a toddler) are finding it difficult to give him the attention he needs. Nothing residential, just picking him up for walks whenever I can. My collie didn't give him a second of peace yesterday, he went back home exhausted. Edit What, where am I, this isn't the dog thread. Good morning everyone.

I've always felt warmer with my own gristly arbwaste than any mesh bag of 3D printed identilogs from a petrol station. Knots, bark, crotches, whorls. Lovely stuff.

I've always preferred the messy stuff, it's more fun to watch.

That would indeed be clever, but an inverted bin would have a slight taper going the wrong way, and a pair of handles to stop the chain shrugging onto the stem. I'm sure with slight modification these obstacles could be overcome.

You mean one of these yokes?

Pretty funny! Did he improve by the end of the day? Some lump of wood, that...

I stand corrected, but you're still pretty odd fellows.

Yeah the smaller gear will absolutely kink your ropes more, those fig8s are terrible for it; it's why no-one ever uses them any more except cavers and canyoners, and they're all a pretty weird bunch. A kinky rope is easy to fix though, you just run through a grassy meadow at dawn with it trailing out behind you.

Don't know if this would be of interest to anyone, but a colleague has just shown me this... it's 500 pages of very thorough comparisons of pretty much everything you can buy for rigging, rope access, rescue, whatever... grams, price, kN, dimensions... there's even closeup pictures of the teeth/ridges/whatever on the ascenders/grabs section. Very detailed. BUYERS GUIDES ACCESSANDRESCUE.HFLIP.CO Created with the Heyzine flipbook maker It's not exactly bedtime reading, but it might be a good resource for some people.

Nice, was that a homeowner video, or yours?

Yeah, the absolute state of these poor things! So today was 2 little birch having too extreme of a haircut that I'm not going to lose any sleep over... not my circus, not my monkeys... the owner can see the view over the top of them for the next year at least, that's the main thing. Then these two butchered pines down to the ground, then three more dead monoliths of the same that were more dust than timber, and only the ivy holding them up. Honestly not sure what the spec was for whoever did the job originally. A most successful day, however, because my son has been told to bring in 2 pine cones to turn into Christmas decorations... I found them! But once you pop, you just can't stop! There's enough for any of the class who didn't manage to find any now, at least. I also got a lovely little wren's nest, on the right of the picture, to add to my collection for show-and-tell at schools.

Speaking as someone who is not well-versed in the whole shrinkage situation, this sounds like a steaming pile of horseshit to me. Just to clarify... the complaint is that the corners by the swimming pool and the cedar tree are being affected? How old is the swimming pool? I'm happy to be told I'm wrong, I like learning, but at this stage I'd probably be giving the neighbours a big old f*ck-you until you can prove that it's my 4 tiny trees doing the damage. They need to get a specialist in and a proper report made.

Micro-cylindre 2.1, friction device - FTC FTC-TREE.COM The MICRO-CYLINDRE 2.1 is a friction device used in tree care to hold and lower loads during felling and branch... Wow yeah, that looks like a real contender. Thanks for the recommendation.

On the bottom right? Yeah you get some funky shapes with extra arms and things, they are called fun names like the Frog or the Piranha, depending on the shape and the manufacturer. You can add a wrap here or there to add more friction.

The last crowd who were here did a great job on these Corsican pines.

Hell of a lot lighter, though!

Do, the place is dead. I used it a bit when I was living in the Alps, I was given free kit by a ski manufacturer out there off the back of my Facebook and insta content. Stopped using it when I moved to Ireland, and just recently I've tried making a new page for my business, following only local people and pages. Within a month, 90% of the feed is random shite from distant corners of the planet, AI art, and memes. Absolutely unusable now.
