March 31st...unless it has changed recently

Thanks - that's what I had on the calendar but making long term plans I wanted to make sure.

Need a ride?

If someone needs a ride, maybe I can help. I'm coming from Virginia Beach and driving thru Williamsburg up 64 to Richmond and then south on 295 down to Chesterfield. I can meet somone along the way or you can meet at my house and go from there if your in Chesapeake, Va Beach or Norfolk. Let me know in a PM and we can figure it out. Would save some cost if we split and have someone to ride with. Driving a Ford short box and I'm bringing a nice handful of saws but there will be room for you.... just don't bring 50...:msp_wink:

Hopefully, this will change someones mind about going???

I can make the same offer as watsonr.

I will be leaving the Rocky Mount area about 6am, Google maps shows 150 miles from here, and taking Route 40 out through Gretna the picking up 360 around Keysville. Driving a 93 Escort wagon and will have room for one person and 4-6 saws. I am bringing a couple gallons of bar oil and 5 gallons of fresh non-E fuel, so you are welcome to use my mix (40:1 with Poulan full synthetic) or bring your own preferred oil for mixing.

 

[watsonr]

And as long as were trying to help each other....

No non-ethanol based gas stations around here. Anybody have one close to them, would love some 89/91 good gas. I have two empty 5 gallon jugs, the red kind with spouts, maybe we could trade jugs and cash or if someone knows of a station close to the GTG I could fill up. I'll pour the ethonal stuff in your truck, you fill my cans with the good stuff to take home?

Or point me to a good gas station on my way out?

distilled 110 proof octane is acceptable:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::cool2:

With living so close to Smith Mountain Lake there is several stations around here with 90 octane non-e, there is also one place that I can get Cam2 race fuel though the price is pretty high. Also........ Coming from Franklin County I can help on that "distilled fuel", not gallons of it but I will bring a little for those who dare.

 

[Roanoker494]

Back to square one on the Husqvarna 2100....... The retaining springs in my new seals were rusted and broke, I contacted the Ebay seller and hope to be able to get news ones here in time.

 

[watsonr]

"distilled fuel" for those who dare.
