I'm doing stuff, so I can make time to not do stuff.

The most excellent of excellent-ness :)

Most clients will offer us the use of a toilet inside, if not we have a mental map of the closest public toilets. Take your boots off and slap off the worst of the dust and chips from clothing. Be respectful, don't linger. When needs must, a pee in the woods, they have to be dense woods!

Ahh, 'morning tea' or 'smoko' they call it here. I'm so not used to stopping for tea and half a lunch at that time.

Aww the liddle birdy!!

First off Knotty, well done on you to recognize you needed professional help to navigate the truly awfulness that has befallen you. Please folks, don't blow this off, people are trying to help by saying, it's nothing it will all blow over and no-one will remember. That completely diminishes the...

The Queen of Denmark is originally from Tasmania :)

Check you wearing Blunnies! Must have a lick of Aussie in you.

I only use Stihl. I've tried Oregon, Windsor, Carlton and some random chinesium stuff...Sticking with Stihl

My pager went off twice today, car crash and then the weekly 7pm test. We also use an app called BART. There are still a few payphones in Tasmania, but they are free now. It was costing them too much to send someone out to clear the few dollars in them. They spent more money in fuel for the...

I guess. It wasn't big enough to bore, awkward to try and face (single or double) Long, heavy, horizontal. Angled side reduction cuts, fast on the back cut, pieces went where the point was pointing :)

I recently did an emergency chop and drop. An almost horizontal branch about 10-12" on a eucalyptus. I put in two angled undercuts, one on each side with the point meeting underneath. Fast backcut, it popped off with no issues. Sort of a modified 'trangle/coos bay' cut? No faces, just angled...

Sydney-Hobart yacht race finish, good scene.

Glad its not just me :) No storm damage in my area, haven't heard anything about other spots but then I've not been paying much attention to news lately. A friend of mine on the Gold Coast area got slammed, roof off his house, trees down everywhere, boor bugger.

Hooray! Finally another justification for semi-chisel, and from someone with CRED!! I keep saying it and the blokes give me this 'girl chain' look. Full chisel is the standard offer when buying chain at the saw shop. I have to ask for semi chisel RM, they usually have to find the reel and spin...

Condolences to your missus Kyle, hugs

It does help that I am small and my hands fit into tight places. I used to joke that was one reason my hubby married me, I could fit down alongside the engine and reach shaft bearings and stuff on the boat that he couldn't. He'd say I make a great engine pull through and everything was cleaner...

I'm actually constantly pleased at how easy my Chipstar chipper is to maintain compared to the more common brands. A few pumps on the hydraulic handle and the whole feed wheel assembly lifts up giving me access to the anvil/knife bypass and the gap behind the feed wheel. Four bolts on the...

Too cute! I was Auntie Bibi for a long time, my oldest nephew couldn't say Fi when he was little, so he said Bibi to me on the phone once and I loved it, it stuck.

My chipper has a hydraulic bypass switch. If it's off, all the oil bypasses and nothing turns, well, the feedwheel turns very very slowly as some little bit of oil is getting by. Maybe see if there is something similar on yours? Excess grease, stick to scrape, rag to wipe...lots of rags have...
