Mitch,just wondering how things are up your way after the storm and high winds this morning. Not too much damage,hopefully. We have some trees down,but nothing close to buildings and all houses around us are o.k. Some places just to our north really got torn up. I'll probably be going to help a friend of mine by Tama tomorrow after work. I dont really like to run the saws in this heat like I do in cooler temps but thats the way it is sometimes.

Ron, As Mark stated, no real damage up here. The wind did wake me for a bit though. If you guys need a hand down south, let me know. Need to make a delivery down that way sometime, just been busy.
 
Good to hear from you guys. Mark,maybe you could bring the 3-10 to a GTG , I would love to run Grandpa's old saw! Got a lot of cleanup done yesterday and ,of course, will continue for awhile in some form or another. A lot of folks still out of elect. and not much can be done to help out there. Thanks for the offer , Mitch!

If you can help out in Vinton, they need people bad. The have chippers and shredders, but nobody to run them. Just call 211 to volunteer. I'd be there but I get to work these next 6 days straight.:msp_mad:
 
I'm from just north of marshalltown. we got slammed. i got lucky and just lost siding off the garage, but if i was a mile south the barn and all my buildings would be gone. I did score 6 truck loads of locust today and probably another 10 more to go and that's just one yard. gonna be a fun next couple weeks!!!:blob2:

Doing fine! Has a bit of swelling yet but doesn't hurt anymore. Salvage place came and picked up the bike. Be picking up my new one in a couple of weeks.

I still think we should have taken the cycle thru the hayfield or around the motocross track a few times before the tow truck hauled it away!
 
Homelite 410 and I were discussing a Poulan Sd/micro/branded equivalent build off. I have a pile of these and would assume many other members do as well. I do know Scarr already has a built runner so a standard has been set LOL.


How's the crop looking Bill? Good here, missed the flooding so far.

My ported S25DA's cylinder is flaking and it's loosing compression.... but never fear I just bought 3 more S25 (the 38cc versions... not the micros).

I've been doing a bit of climbing lately and these things are great for that.
 
Good people over there. Them Poulan are addictive.

There was supposed to be a Dolkita build off as well but I'm yet to find a carcass to start with.

Start with a new one. Then there will be no excuses:msp_w00t:

May know a guy that has several if you are up for a road trip:rock:
