Things are going well at present thank. Im keeping busy with work. In a couple of weeks i may have a job removial of a pine over road side and over phone cables, so that should be a fun job.

Sumomosr · 1st August 2008, 07:04 PM

Thanks for the welcome Ekka.

After a summer drought we are in a winter flood so it seems to be a year of weather extremes.

Have recently returned to NZ after 21 years in UK and had 2 summers on the trot so this winter lark is a bit of a shock.

I'm involved in the servicing and repair of machinery on a golf course and as well as mowers we have saws, brush-cutters and hire chippers as necessary so I'm interested in your website.

Regards to all.

Q.Q. · 6th August 2008, 08:03 AM

Not too bad I suppose.No rain here last year so no cotton crops or other crops at all,our main dam was dry so no irrigation.Bit nervous about my new venture,hope it goes ok.Town very Quiet at this stage with about 500 family's leaving the area as there hasn't been a lot of work due to lack of water.Buy the way my name is Quinton Quig.Thanks for the reply Ekka.

PARTSWOODCHUCK · 6th August 2008, 08:45 AM

Raining! Been looking into buying a couple of used 372xp's and happened across this site. Have to buy a new saw because some lowlife got into my truck and stole my 288xp. the saw was sweet, i bought it about 5 years ago when the guy i had working for me popped my 371xp. I was getting ready to tune it up for a local saw contest when "SUPRISE" it was gone! Now that I found this site i'm gonna buy 2 saws, use one for logging, and at least do a muffler mod and big bore kit on the other. I need more power because my buddy beat me at the competition with a worn out 371 that I sharpened! i was stuck using a 372xp that never sees any real rpm's. Other than that things are peachy

Hi Ekka,

i think a lottery ticket win is the only way. How do I start a new tread here. Having problems with an 038 and wanted to get an opinion.

Thanks

Tom

Ekka · 8th August 2008, 05:37 AM

I replied for ya mate .... psssst, why in the big blue world would anyone buy a 38 anyway with 46's leaving them for dead at around the same weight?

tdermody · 8th August 2008, 06:22 AM

Got the 038 for free from an old friend, he's 98 now and bought this a few years back new. As you can imagine it has done very very little.

Going to get a 14" bar for it. I did quiet a bit of work with 020's in harness, I find that the short bars are good enough for most jobs. Only when you are sneeding up large trees do you have to go to the big ones.

Thanks for the reply.

Regards

Tom

Well, our weather has been totally odd this year, and it looks like a drought is under way. We had our August weather( 38-40 C) in June, and now we are having our June weather ( foggy mornngs, 30 C max in the afternoon). We had the latest freeze anyone can remeber and the earliest grape harvest in thrity some years. The wine should be really great though. We are in the base of the Sonoma Valley, so from here north, its pretty much solid grape vines as far as the eye can see. A lot of the old fruit orchards are gone or going. They just cut down 140 peach trees to plant more grapes in the Napa region. Sad really. Imean, we have grapes enough, and it would be nice not to have to import all our fruit from South America.

regards to all,

Martin

Things are good in syd but i dont like winter mornings we have had some rain but it all comes in one big hit mostly when im in a smooth barked tree as far as drink i dont think there is many beers i dont like (VB being one)

tdermody · 13th August 2008, 04:05 AM

The weather seems pretty messed up everywhere. The rain is breaking records here every week. When it should be nice sunny days we are getting 70mm if rain. Flash floods and closed roads are turning into the norm here in the summer. Drought is definetly not something the Irish normally have to worry about. I think the film Inconvienent Truth is starting to come true. Still, can have a few beers in the local and laugh so not too bad.

Regards
