Now you're doing it too, huh Darin?  What possible purpose can that post serve but to prove your authority?  We all know that already.

Please remove that post and this one together.

Hmmm... well I just ordered a 372XP ... [from] Baileys ... for $509 ... They even threw in a set of free dawgs.

Do you really reckon the "dawgs" were <i>free</i>?&nbsp; Don't forget to file the proper return of information to the state and include the use tax you owe if Bailey's didn't charge you sales tax.&nbsp; You don't want to be a bad citizen and defraud your government, do you?&nbsp; I didn't think so.

Ugh...yeah..I do reckon they were free, however purchased seperately they go for $24. Now , after careful examination of my invoice, I see they have not charged me anything for them, seems to bode well for the "free" arguement, doncha think?

As far as the state, feds, whatever. They are in fact my silent partners and I'd be remiss if I didn't give mention to the insurance scuzwads. And I don't mind paying the terrorism surcharge on my Worker's Comp policy and I don't mind employing folks, you know, local folks as in the local economy type folks.

And I don't mind buying a 372XP for $509 from an AS sponsor even though I could find it for a few sheckles less elsewhere(in fact more local).

What do you do for the local economy?

Glen, I fail to see the difference in manually snipping posts and the forum software that replaces words with question marks. Do you not endorse the latter either?

 

[glens]

The replacement question marks are immediately present and the post author has the option of changing them for a word that won't get "bleeped".&nbsp; In fact, the bleeped word is rather a funny situation because most viewers know <i>exactly</i> what was there anyway.

If the posts automatically become the sole property of AS then I guess they might have some legal ground to <i>modify the wording</i> of posts, but then they should prominently display a link with those policies clearly defined.

After the young traveler moved on to the next day the Indiana highway was rather kind on this December morning. Having pulled over to expel more of the "rented" alcoholic beverage, the young man came upon 2 boxes laying in ditch by the side of the road. He could not believe his eyes. One box said Husqvarna 346XP and the other said Husqvarna 353. With the snow on the brink of pouring down all the young man could think about was "which saw to choose". So are the days of our saws!!!

Somebody needs some cheese w/ his whine, But I fear not even Wisconsin has enough to fit the order for someone.

Attachments,embedded pictures,microsoft,husqvarna,mail order, sales tax, obtrusive avatars.... the hits just keep coming and coming. It's like listening to a bad Top 40 rotation.

Linux and Stihl for all to solve the worlds problems!

You guys are kinda mean. lol I suspect Glens is playing the devil's advocate a bit regarding Husky, and you have to admit, it can be funny. As far as the other stuff, dial-up <i>is </i>a pain-in-the-darkside.

Hey Darin, I did not realize I was submitting an "unsolicited offer". I don't sell online but will be more careful with my wording.

 

[DanMan1]

Well I just received the saws I ordered from Southwest. I picked the 353 for my dad, and a 357xp for myself ( Merry Christmas to me ) . My only dissapointment is that the 353 is a green capped E-Tech. I thought that was only on the 359 and the 455.

 

[Toneman]

Good choice on the 357XP. It is a great saw!

 

[DanMan1]

Thanks. My wife actually wants me to wait till the 25th to use it!

 

[Tree Machine]

Har har har, hee hee, Ohhhh, ...... she's FUNNY ! It could pay for itself by Christmas.

 

[Toneman]

DanMan1 that's too long to wait to try it out. I'd be itching to fire it up and cut a few sticks with it. Are you going to do any mod's to it? I would open the muffler up right away. Do a search on here and you will get tons of information if your not sure how to do it
Let me know how you like it when you finally fire it up

 

[pbtree]

DanMan1, tell it to her this way...

You need a nice new Xmas tree for the front yard...

Now what better way to harvest one than a nic enew shiney 357XP?

 

[DanMan1]

Christmas morning I'll probably look like Chevy Chase in christmas vacation except with a smile. At 7:00 am, my neighbors will look out at the noise, and probably shake their heads in confirmation that I'm crazy .
Toneman, I will mod the muff for sure, but not until I run it for a couple of weeks. I want to 'know' the performance stock, first.

DanMan,

Did you not look at the stihl ms250/226? I know there more money, you have to pay more in taxes on them, they have more vibrations, the air filter needs to be cleaned more often, and removal of the filter requires a screwdriver. But, you should give them greater consideration. If you haven't used your new saws yet perhaps still get a stihl.

Just a thought

Hello Everyone
I'm helping my Father pick out a new saw, and we have it narrowed down to the Husky 353 and the 346XP. My father has been using a Stihl 32AV for the past 24 years for home cordwood, but the saw is getting a bit tired and it weights about 14.5 pounds. The kicker is, my father is 72 years old, but he is still in good shape. He likes his Stihl but wants to try a Husqvarna. He can still handle the weight no problem now, but I am worried about in 5 to 10 years from now. I am stearing him toward these lighter saws. With price aside, would you people agree that either of these would be a good fit?

Lighter weight and new saw performance...plus the chance to try something new (Husky), you can't lose with the choice you've made. I hope that in 24 years he's getting ready to try a Dolmar!
