... all the firewood is safely stowed away. :)
As a special "bonus" I deconstructed the large palletised crate it all came in and sawed that up for kindling.
3 full sacks of kindling that I don't have to buy. 👍
Went out for a quick blast in the mini as a reward to myself.
That oil leak has not shown itself yet. I have no idea how/why swapping plugs 2 & 3 would maybe resolve it.
Or, there has been insufficient "blasting around" to get the leak to occur at the rocker-box gasket.
I have a big wad of kitchen-towel tightly folded and wedged between the top-side of the plug and the plug well wall and it is still clean and pristine. Very odd. ;)
 
Years ago W bought a Stihl HSA 25.
Recommended by a friend who gardens very well and does a lot of it.
It works fine.
She cannot find the two sets of blades that cut "grass" (she bought an extra) although she still has the mini hedgecutter ones that she doesn't use.
She thinks she may have taken them back to the UK, possibly for sharpening. :rolleyes: But there is a bloke in the nearest town who sharpens blades and he has done them before. So maybe she left them with him and forgot she had done that.

So today we got around to going and seeing him.
He's gone, and gone bust!
So maybe they are in the UK. She'll be buying a new machine, different make.
There is a comparison site over here which rated the top 10 of these systems. The Stihl one doesn't even figure! They are all masses cheaper.
Stihl sell new blades but even on their own site the comments are rough as a badger's backside.
Yet they Stihl have such a good name??!! (Sorry, just couldn't resist!!!)
The guy who has borrows our land uses Stihl machines. (Strimmer and chainsaw). He has to buy the petrol for them FROM THEM as it is coloured specially so they can see if he has used normal (cheaper) petrol, even if it is empty. Then they invalidate the guarantee.
:mad::mad::mad:
You just cannot make it up!!
 
OK, so is it the sweat band?
Huh, I've tried every sweat band under the sun, literally, and none of them work for more than 5 minutes. I wear bandanas, folded into a triangle, as they then absorb the sweat from the baldest part of my head, they last a while but I have to change them regularly..

But thanks for the thought! ;) :)
Tea towel with a elastic band keeps the Sun of your neck as a bonus 😉
