Morning all. It's meant to be a Sycamore dismantle today but the forecast is 60mph wind and heavy rain so don't know if that'll happen! Have a good day folks.

what logs have you been chopping today!
Doug Tait replied to william petts's topic in Firewood forum
Had great weather today out splitting and processing on contract. Split with wee valtra, logged with big valtra, having the two cranes came in very handy for covering an area without moving the set up along. -
Morning all. Rain seems to have stopped thankfully, contract processing today. Have a good day folks.

You'll be fine Steve, tucked up safe and sound in the secret bunker commanding all arbtalk battalion operations

Is it done with a core drill then a blank put in each end?

Wouldn't dream of it sir, we are fellow veterans.

They said on the news some General thought we should have military training as standard in the population ready for a call up scenario, then they asked people on the streets of somewhere what they thought. A youth with floppy hair and strange fitting trousers said he thought it'd be fine as he'd played plenty of Call of Duty, even listed off all the weapons he had experience using. Anybody else? I remember how to use the weapon systems on a gunship. X and L1 is lots of little bullets, R2 is big mortar type things that kaboom russian tank. I've even completed a SF mission alone in Pripyat, Chernobyl. We'll be ready.

Threw a track on the chipper today. Back of beyond without a tractor or crane to help and one bottle jack that didn't quite fit anywhere helpful. Found a way.

It's the opportunity that doesn't arise! These days I get my kicks from a slow, deep bore cut.

Good luck to him Les. I can almost remember what it's like but for me, all hope is lost!

local wildlife (fur,feathers and beasties)
Doug Tait replied to Adam Bourne's topic in Picture Forum
Had a great bit of footage on an old phone. Was aware of badger in my mates paddock late one night, I got round in front of it, lay down with the headtorch on and filmed it approaching/feeding. Only a few metres away facing me it pulled a couple of worms out and sucked them in like spaghetti, was great! -

Morning all. Staying home again today, connie bashing postponed due to the forecast, more wind and rain, did somebody say Storm Jocelyn! Have a good day folks

You'll need one of these for the over zealous neighbours that think it's a mess

It's been building up throughout the day here. Wind gusting around 50mph and driving rain at the moment, due to worsen as the night goes on.

I wondered this too. I have stretches from the physio to "open up" palms, fingers, and forearms, she sometimes uses a metal scraper thing across the palms and arms too. I'll be honest, I do the exercises she tells me to do but not always sure why I'm doing them! Need to ask if it helps in relation to this Dupuytren...
