🇫🇷 Macron on Russia:

They are testing our limits. It is just a test. So we are not going to open fire.

I cleaned the hedgehog bowl, and refilled it with fresh kibbles and hedgehog crack (dried insect larvae).

Uneaten kibbles got dumped into the kitty's kibble dish. Any larvae bits that remain don't seem to bother them.

There are drainage holes in the dish because usually they're put outside, where they could get rained upon. We're under the upstairs neighbor's balcony, so I don't worry about it.

Russian sources report from Oleksiivka, Sumy region, that fresh reinforcements have arrived on the eastern outskirts. They describe the troops as motivated but completely inexperienced, thrown straight into combat instead of holding second-line positions. As a result, Russian units are taking what they call “senseless losses.”
in reply to NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

every loss in this war is senseless. The majority of the world will never officially recognise the occupied territory of Ukraine as Russian. Eventually Russia will loose to the occupied area's. It may take 1 year, 10 year or 50 years but they will neven win.

...sabías que el dramaturgo británico William Shakespeare tuvo que ambientar su obra "Romeo y Julieta" en la ciudad italiana de Verona, porque si lo hubiera hecho en su Inglaterra natal, la obra hubiera terminado con la escena del balcón?

@Leviatar desde que Francia y Alemania están que no levantan cabeza y desde que explotó la burbuja de los fondos europeos, se está poniendo un panorama de mierda...

@Leviatar meh. La que me tiene que amar locamente vino el domingo a jugar al chinchón a casa y no quiso probar ni mi tortilla de patatas y bacalao ni la cuña de idiazabal 🥲

Just a few more logs! 💪

My oldest chainsaw (Oleo-Mac 942) is the most reliable one. It smokes a bit and the carb needs re-tuning for the weather, but it starts every time and saws fast (if you keep the chain sharp).

Splitting black alder by axe is easy. But the occasional piece of maple tells me why people buy splitting machines.

Next some carting off and stacking, but I still need to sort through my concrete beam collection first to find a few more to stack the wood on.

All done with this very reasonably priced Geko 2 kg long handle splitting axe. It has lost some paint from the top but there's no wobble. And nobody had to get a bank loan for a Fiskars axe.

Gave it a clean, sharpen and some oil before hanging it up. Until next time!

i think fiskars have teflon coating, and it splits a bit nicer. After coating gone - axe as any other axe.
It's not a scientific fact, just we with coworkers got this conclusion.
in reply to Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar

fiskar's things are to buy on discounts. Till now i have: 1) shears, 2) kitchen knife.
No bank debt! 🎉

@mcSlibinas They make nice stuff for sure, but usually I can find almost as nice stuff for 33% of the price too 😁
in reply to Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar

This thing did all the sawing. Oleo-Mac 942 from Italy. The sticker says 1997, so not quite 30 years old.

It came with the farm, broken like most things. I got some bits from a parts breaker and fixed it up. It's a little worn here and there and the vibration absorbers are going floppy but it starts realiably and runs well.

It's good to have a smaller saw for this kind of job, less loud, easier to handle and no strong kickback if you do mess up or hit an ingrown nail, as I have twice now (the old man loved to put nails everywhere, including trees).

i have bought electric chainsaw to demolish barn. ~33€ okko chinesium from senukai. It did the job. Sure, i can't bring it to the forest, but for yard works it's enough.
Also it silent compared to any gasoline real chainsaw.
in reply to mcSlibinas

@mcSlibinas I have an electric Makita. It's not great. Also wife can't make tea while it runs (4 kW ESO supply - can boil kettle or run chainsaw).

oh, i forgot you don't have a power in XXI century near the center of Europe 😵‍💫
