Just got the same error
Me too, then I just hit reload by the url and the post is there
.You know, I've got a three bladed Old Timer like that and it rusts light Hell. Couldn't keep it clean. And I have an Old Timer fillet knife which I like the shape of the handle and blade length, but I just can't get it sharp. I've given up on Old Timers.
Perfect description of my grandfather, right down to the knife. Thanks for the post and bringing back the memories.
Whew! glad it wasn't just a dumb farmer problem.
I'm at the house on the laptop now. See what happens.Well once the server problem is fixed, I'll delete my 2x duplicate posts. It said there was an error so I assumed it didn't go through. So I tried it again (and again). Wasn't just fishing for likes

Don't delete them. We might hit 3,000 pages by midnight.Well once the server problem is fixed, I'll delete my 2x duplicate posts. It said there was an error so I assumed it didn't go through. So I tried it again (and again). Wasn't just fishing for likes
I've always thought this forum should have a "Thank You" button so I could than people for their responses (I have so many questions). So if you want, I could go back since I joined and thank each person individually in a separate post. That ought to do the trick (don't worry I won't).Don't delete them. We might hit 3,000 pages by midnight.
The page is working but the warning is still coming up.
G'day blokes, haven't been around for a couple of weeks, finally turn up to find I'm 25 pages behind. I've caught up now, and can provide my considered opinions on things, which of course you'll all find riveting.
Funny thing. I learned to drive my grandfather's 1969 Holden Premier (I stihl have it) which was a 3-on-the-tree manual on the left side of the steering column. Then as a 19 year old, I went to the US and learned to drive a floor shift manual with the right hand. So I could drive a column shift manual with the left and a floor shift with the right. When I was confronted with a floor shift in Oz with the left hand - hopeless! Had to learn all over again.
Glad to see you're stihl alive Dan. Don't tell me you've run out of spruce??

Those trees look a bit like bluegum. In forested areas here they grow like telephone poles but usually a pain to split.
Generically Yes. Several varieties . All crap. Burns gooooood though, even when cut for firewood
Just google Aussie bush fire
That’s March, pre bark and wind shed

Agreed. Ironbark is about as good as firewood gets.

One more thing, when I scrounge I dress for success. I wear nice work pants, a button down work shirt, chainsaw chaps and a reflective vest....coupled with asking permission. Avoids the notion that I’m out of my mind, which I am!
Some of my neighbors looking a-t my wood stash think I am crazy, The rest of them KNOW I am.
Stash is now down to around 60 cord 50 of them black locust. Still cutting a little each year but I haven't found a good scrounge area since I finished the Willow one.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all who celebrate it!
Happy new year y’all! Johnny and I moving some oak and cardboard!
Hope you all had a great Christmas and while I'm at it, happy new year! We were away for a bit over two weeks. Apart from a couple of good days, the weather was mostly rubbish but that's how it goes.
The fishing was fair at best but we did get a few
This guy had eyes bigger than his stomach
Bit of paddling in the river when the weather was ok
And, if you can believe it, the weather was cold enough that we lit the fire on three days. The Christmas tree was my grandparent's old plastic one, circa 1970 I guess.

So, you guys in Australia celebrate New Year's in about 6 months, right?

New arrival ported out of the box by Kevin. This is not mine. Just helping out a friend. Hopping to take it to him and try it out at his house this weekend.
