Grains, oil, gas, uranium and potash. Cold in the winter.
The hunting is apparently pretty good. Huge deer and gazillions of waterfowl. Long johns required.

I was talking to him last spring and mentioned I was coming to Canada for a fishing trip in Ontario and he said, "Wow, you must REALLY like fishing".

It's funny what you take for granted when you see it and live it everyday.

@WoodDean Where are you going Dean?

Last June we took a family trip to Brunswick Lake. North of Wawa Ontario about 50 miles. You actually fly off of Lake Wawa in a little bush plane to a REMOTE cabin and stay for a week.
So you gotta pack enough gear and food but most importantly . . . . . BEER!!!!

I've been there twice and the fishing experience is incredible. It's common to catch 30 inch pike but we throw those back, we fish for walleye.
You near Wawa, Tim?

 

[leecopland]

No one is near Wawa!

Ok I'm new here. Can anyone tell me about this saw? It's on local Craigslist. It looks rough but it keeps catching my eye.
Thanks for any help, Scott

That is a 621. Someone painted the top cover. It was originally silver.
In my opion that bar is waaay too long for that saw. Possibly a 32" hard to tell for sure from a picture. That being said the bar appears to be in good shape and worth as much as the saw.

Sounds great Dean. No, I'm about 9-1/2 hours SSE of Wawa near Toronto. As Lee says, there aren't too many people up there.

I did attempt to buy the 80,90,801 stuff that was listed on eBay a few weeks ago. It was mixed in with a 601 and some 5xx junk. The seller decided to keep it all and look for saws to fix up instead of selling or relisting it.
Not sure why I went after it as I can't find the time to finish the projects I have started lol.

Weird, I was thinking of buying that but for the same reason, I didn't...lol. I can't remember, was it a 'Buy it Now' auction?

Scott's saw is indeed a 621 and as you stated, should be a silver top(you can see the silver poking through).....not sure if cosmetic pieces and covers for that saw swap with anything else. I have a 621 waiting to be my new work saw.

The Windsor bar pictured is ridiculously long(28"?)....probably the practical working max on a 621 would be around 24". That doesn't speak well of the person who was trying to run that bar on that saw, unless they slapped that on there hoping to make the saw look tougher.

Not a lot goin' on in Wawa....population 2011 census:2,634....average age 43.7......40% of population not married......20% of population speak the mother tongue-French. My guess is that with the Net and cable link to the world, it would be a living hell as a teenager if you didn't like the outdoors.

But they do have the biggest Goose on record.

 

[Real1shepherd]

OMG....lol!!

Around here, those geese are miscreant scavengers & pests. They don't fly south at all....they just forage from river to pond etc all winter. Vicious, territorial bastards around swimming holes in warmer weather.

12 guage solution!

You'd need an 8 or a 10 for one that size.

Somewhere I have a picture of me up on that thing!!!

 

[Real1shepherd]

Back in the day on the farm in MO, they would come in the late fall, land in my wheat starts and decimate an entire field(pull up by the roots) and I'd have to go down and shoot a few so they would all disappear. Any warm pre-Xmas we had roast goose....lol! Fish & Game told me to do whatever I had to, to keep my wheat crop.

To fly out in the morning, we ate breakfast at the Lakeview and I had to apply some flying medication . . . . . . i.e. bloody mary's.

While searching for parts for my XF Raket, I came across an XD Raket (85 cc, '58-'62) and an XH Raket (85 cc, '63 - '65, I think). Should be here by the end of next week.

 

[Zero_sum]

Wow... 2 cool saws to happen upon. I'd love some more pics when you get them.
