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...

Just on the tech specs the 250 is not a lot heavier than the 200 (105kg, 117kg, 145kg),and has nearly the same power as the 300 (60/80mm max against 80/100mm). Probably not quuiite as durable though. This is all far too targeted, and not at all pottery. Should probably redirect to the wee chipper thread.

Have you considered a magnet on a stick? That's useful, there's obviously a big jump in capability to m400, but it doesn't seem the kind of thing I'd want to wrestle around on my own as much as a 300... and I'm wondering if I'd get away with even the m250. * The wasps nest doesn't exist. There's just a whole pile of them gorging on ivy flowers. I have suggested a number of approaches to my stepfatherinlaw. Complete inactivity seems to be the favoured route at the moment.

Healthy balanced breakfast.

That was a roller coaster ride! ...and I agree with every word. Very important wee beasties, absolutely essential to a well-functioning ecosystem, and a total nuisance when they find themselves in the wrong place. Flight path diversion or relocation preferred, eradication a close runner up. Do you already have a suitable forwarding address to send any unwanted gays? Err, sorry, I mean wasps.

I'd like an AI prompt artwork of the same scene 100 years into the future, please.

Today I have to assess and take any action necessary on a wasp nest at my mother-in-law's new house, plant a few gooseberry bushes, grind the edge back on to a couple of neglected kitchen knives, hang a couple of pictures, and ideally do a bit of strimming... but annoyingly, I have to go and be social at an RNLI family barbecue right in the middle of peak productivity time. How mobile is the m300? I'm looking at finally getting a wee chipper, the Jo Beau offerings seem to get heavier quickly with incremental grunt increases...

I was about to say, in the good old days carpets were 100% biodegradable, but it'd be rare to find one of those these days. They've probably already all been composted.

Any time on this yet?
