Got the chainsaw out and chopped up stuff...

What sort of chain saw did you get? I have a Pioneer 620s and a liitle Sthil aborist chiansaw. The little one is good for harvesting avos via the chainsaw method - the pioneer is a bit heavy for me when 20-30ft up a tree.

Maybe it needs another ball....

Congrats Tim. And Thanks for the ride last year.

In old conservatory found a soft spot in corner, lift the carpet to find a previous repair, decided to lift all carpet to replace damaged particle board - found there were cork tiles under the underlay - so if I replaced particle board there would be a need to level the floor - easy answer - garden spade to lift old tiles (also scrapped a lot of the glue off) - replace particle board where damaged - belt sander to smooth it all - painted it then carpet tiles on top to make it look nice.

except you.....

This afternoon I was working - out on the water, got a few pics of yachts racing.

Not totally marine related but.... We started moving onto our new place. over the last few days we shifted 3 truckloads, & 3 car &trailer loads. We now have a few Acres of land, a house, a 3 bay implement shed with power, + lots of trees. Now the marine / boating part is that we will have room to house a boat project if someone needs the space. Covered space will be limited to 1 bay of the implement shed + part of the enclosed bay. Anyone interested just let me know.

five years without a scrub

Looks Great

Continued packing gear up getting readly to move - made up boxes to transport gear in - using up offcuts of marine ply. Squid have the better part of a half sheet of 4mm marine ply here if you need it, otherwise it'll get turned into a couple of boxs for carrying gear. Working tonight - will be out on the harbour around midnight...

Taking the port ama off

An interesting afternoon

From a little bit of research it appears that some areas in the US have banned 2-stroke outboards but the EPA has not - it seems that because the older 2-strokes could not comply with the new regs people red that to mean that all 2-strokes were banned when in fact they were not banned as long as they could comply with the regs. Wheels I believe that the two strokes now being sold in the US, UK, Europe comply with the regulations regarding emmissions. A lot of the 2-strokes on the market new in NZ most likely do not comply. I would say that more countries allow the older ones to be sold

You need to check you info sources - 2-stroke outboards are still sold all over the world even in the UK http://www.marineroutboards.co.uk/detai ... duct_id=42 Also in the EU / UK the sale of non-compliant 2-stroke outboards can still be sold to commercial operators but not to recreational users. Let me know if that info is out of date. they also sell the same outboards in the US. Evinrude also sells new 2-stroke outboards in the US. I guess the difference is that these outboards are much cleaner than what is sold in NZ

I had heard there was a waiting list, interesting about the power if true.
