Good morning.
Fighting that bloody bhp thingy

What a load of rubbish we got to Bundy hospital at 8am, they had no doctor or gas man to go through all the crap...we were there for 4 hours
When we finally got out it was lunch time...so Chinese for lunch
Then to Kmart we needed a new microwave... apparently...

Then to the big boys shop... Bunnings ..I now have vegetables to plant...
I will finish off the raised bed today.
Who's that wheeler and dealer you keep mentioning Terry... sounds like a good bloke.
I have one prediction regarding T1s arrival at Mannnum...it will be before Carol's knee operation.
Keep safe.
Bernie.

I need to get a replacement battery for my EGO chainsaw ...... and a replacement chainsaw, hedge trimmer, brush cutter and maybe even a lawn mower this time It did start first time every time though, and all of them beat the crap out of any petrol unit I've ever used, couldn't stall out the chainsaw or hedge trimmer and the brush cutter seemed to have enough continuous speed to not clog up .... well worth the $$

Nice sunny day here in the Illawarra, all this talk of cold and miserable back in Mannum .... not in any rush to get back to that

I've already got a lot of Ryobi 18v garden stuff. Even have a chainsaw. Have never been overly impressed with the chainsaw though. When I mentioned to SWMBO, that I was getting a carby, she said why don't I get a whole new saw.
I am going to have a proper look at the Stihl units.
Blazeaid have been using them for a few years now. It would suit me to not carry a container of two stroke fuel, everywhere we go.

Go to an EGO demo day at the likes of Total Tools, the 56v battery and motor makes all the difference, it just doesn't bog down ..... it does get you in the situation of cutting deeper than you should have on the first bite and pinching the blade when the cut closes up, but then it's a matter of learning to cut better, like the V out of the other side of the main cut so the trunk moves away from the bar .... but even cutting with the back side of the bar actually works on these chainsaws, where it rarely does on the petrol ones because chain speed is much harder to control ..... give one a try, you won't be disappointed ..... I couldn't believe it when my hedge cutter chopped a piece out of a cyclone fence without showing any indication the cutting was even getting tougher, no clutch to slip, it just stops when the electronics believes the load has passed a certain point, ease off and pull the trigger again and it resumes what it was doing, no need to rev the motor to clear the rich run problem ....

I've got 2 makita 18v chainsaws, 14 and 16inch and looking at getting a 40v 18inch makita and my 3 Husqvarna 14-16-21inch petrol saws sit in the workshop and have for the last few years. The Makita are wonderful and do a top job of dropping and cutting up trees, I can cut through trunks twice the size of the saws without any problems. The only problems that have come up are the 9amp ebay batteries I've got, a couple have died and 4 only provided half the power, but the original 5amp makita's I have still function at 100% as do the other 9amp ebay ones. Just waiting for a good battery brush cutter to come along, the battery whipper snippers just can't do the job of slashing bracken and small bushes and brush cutters don't drop pieces of plastic everywhere as I use metal blades. But my Husqvarna 4 stroke brush cutter does a great job and uses very little fuel, just can't stand the noise after using battery equipment.

Got the Makita because that's what all my battery tools are and the batteries fit them all. Plus ebay batteries are 1/3 of the price and do a good job, but you can get some lemons and they do provide a 10 year warranty if you can get it. I also use ebay blades and chains, again less than half the price of genuine makita.

Finally got the parts for my centrifuge, the motor controller packed it in after more than 15 years and have had no end of trouble getting one to suit and being able to work out how to program them for 6000rpm, so bit the bullet and got one from the centrifuge manufacturer who provided a step by step parameter programming solution, which luckily works on the Aus motor controller I bought at half the price of the yank job. So no more shopping bag filtering and back to easy fuel making.

Another wet day here, which started out as a sunny and warm, but temps dropped from 15 to 9 about an hour ago and we've had SW winds around 65kph and rain. So no bike riding or surfing again today, we just had a 78kph gust according to the new weather station.

Dave,

Huskies do electric too.

If you get a petrol saw, best to buy a professional model. Mines not but does ok. Always takes 10 pulls to start it. Don't know why, but on the 10th, it fires.

Windy here. Bus has given a few good jolts in the gusts.
