the all aussie dribble thread!

[RandyMac]

Not good mate.Its a hard thing to watch someone you love go through that.

The old guy had a stroke awhile back, now his clutch is slippin'.

 

[MCW]

Neil, I was going to say "and then there's Matt in the 1% bracket" but thought it was just too obvious, but no, it's never too obvious for the Mattster

This bloody ignore feature still doesn't seem to be working Rick. You keep showing up still...

BTW, If you do send me a "Solo Twin" I'll have to take it to Matt's place for a GTG before I return it

Damn right you will Wayne. I'm not an old saw fan but I'd sell myself in the parklands if it meant I could buy a twin.

Sorry Neil,hes back on to you :msp_smile: As with all you guys i have never meet Matt.I would love to turn up to his work,introduce myself as someone else,then ask for something....when he brings it out..go to town...I didnt want that one you useless piece of ##### have you got any idea at all you ###### He would have to be nice cus im the customer sorry Matt i was bored ok :msp_biggrin:

Christmas card list Dave. You seem to not be on it anymore...

Unfortunately Neil couldn't do that as they know each other and hung out, or should I say Neil tolerated Matt hanging around for a few days

Matt tried to visit me but I saw who was calling and wouldn't answer my phone

Lies Rick. All lies. Neil paid me to come up there to show him how to fall trees safely and how to handle a chainsaw. He also wanted me to tune a few of his race saws and square file some of his race chains. Apparently he used to get Will to do all his work for him but found I was better.

As far as you not answering your phone refer to Christmas card list in my above reply to Dave. No tinsel coated card for you either Rickette.

 

[MCW]

I would love to see that mate, be a fly on the wall.

Luckily at my work I sell a lot of chemicals that make life very difficult for flies

 

[David (saltas)]

Ha ha... if only I had a Solo twin to play with.

Nice paint job BTW




Also if you ever come across a ms170/180 parts saw and don't feel like fixing it... unfortunately I don't own any plastic saws :frown:

"fish" regularly gets a new 170 and strips it and sells the parts on the bay
I bought a rear handle assembly.

don't listen to the others

the 017 I have does nothing wrong

tug tug tug,pull pull pull, stihl no go, stihl no go.
That's all i'm going to say on that subject matt.

Off to the farm today, have my new mill site maped out, a planner prepareing the application for the DA.
A lot of work but in the end worth it, back on the very same farm i grew up on.

remove some trees and start graveling ect ect ect.

I'm not looking to ban you. I really don't think anybody else here is either. If you can keep your posts civil you can stay, just like anybody else. If you disrupt the threads with your posts you'll be gone...again just like anybody else.

Bob, the only enemy you have here is yourself. Think about that a little.

Gologit,,,
Was looking at that spider bite you had, I was thinking about our bad spiders like the funnelweb.
Sawing timber in the mill, I see an odd one in logs with pipe, they look docile for a few seconds and harmless, poke them with a stick and they bar up and venom forms on their fangs.

Its always in my mind and I make sure anyone working with me watches very carefully when milling hollow logs. We wear gloves sawing but the idea of a bite still worries me and its in my safety plan as a hazard with an emergency procedure in place.

 

[tdi-rick]

Ok, lets start a list of the most embarrassing saw/s you own ?

and I don't mean a Stihl 088 just 'cause you like Huskies


I'll start, I have Dear old Dad's Mini Mac 110 (in bits) that he gave to me (he mustn't really like me too much) 25 yeas ago and a little McCulloch 3818AV ( I think) that I bought from a friends Dad years ago after he went into a nursing home.
He'd run big Macs back in the day as a farmer, they used to drop their own trees, sawmill it and make their own packing cases, including the glue for the labels for their fruit to go to market from their farm around Peats Ridge.
I was gobsmacked when told the tale.
He bought the little Mac for trimming stuff and some firewood as the big ones lack of AV was knocking him around too much when he got into his middle seventies :msp_ohmy:
It's still sitting under the bench where I threw it after burning it up.

FWIW my Pop was a guide post and telegraph pole cutter when Dad was young, he contracted to their local council, so there is some timber background in my family.
Dad still had the crosscut saws when he moved to Brisbane 25 years ago but not sure what came of them.

We've always been told there aren't any Funnel Web's around here but a nurse friend had a bloke come in to the hospital with a Funnel Web bite about four weeks ago :msp_ohmy:
The coppers had a to do a lights and siren job with the anti-venom from Muswellbrook Hospital and four blokes turned up to escort one vial of it. Apparently they enjoy that sort of thing

It was positively identified as a Funnel Web too.

Damn........

Good plan. I don't know anything about Australian spiders, and not much about American ones either, but I'd say if a guy even thinks he has a bite he should get himself to the hospital without delay.

The doc told me I came close to losing my arm and they pretty much had decided to take the hand off but the antibiotics took hold.

Over two years ago you made a public plea for certain McCulloch parts, I sent them, asking only for a signed photo.
Here we are today, after a few unfulfilled promises, nothing back from you, I'm guessin' this will be a write-off.
Put up or shut up.

Didn't i send you a signed CD ?

 

[RandyMac]

That was part of a trade, 6 years ago.

Just do what you said you would do or pay full market price + shipping or shut the #### up.

I copped a similar thing once in a commercial chook shed just over the range from here.

It's a free range/barn setup, totally automated and the laying boxes run down the centre of the shed, the girls go in during the night, lay, and the doors open automatically of a morning and the eggs are on a rubber conveyor that takes them to the packing room/coolroom at the end of the shed.

The conveyor was playing up and they couldn't get a sparky that knew anything about it to fix it, they didn't trust any of the local sparkies as it's more a controls/speciality thing so what's the next best thing to a controls sparky ?
Yep the local commercial fridgey

So here's Rick, laying on his back in chook poo a foot deep, working on the conveyor gearbox and switchgear above.
Thank the Gods the girls were out running around in the shed at the time

Of course I fixed it, Fridgeys are jack of all trades, master of none, but it was hard to get clean enough afterwards :msp_razz:
