It's amazing how much more daylight we have already after a couple weeks of days getting longer.

Good point I can se my driveway

Dirt and grease not prob dawn dish soap and the sprayer. The gas fumes are nasty

And the dishwasher makes an awesome parts washer!

I set the saw on an old pizza box before I started. Clean-up was very easy. I do know of a few people who have bought old dishwashers off craigslist or yard sales just for use as a parts washer in the shop.

Heard on the radio that the real Grizzly Adams, Dan Haggerty passed away from cancer. He was only in his mid 70's, I thought he was older than that.

Gentle Ben (Dennis Weaver), Grizzly Adams (Dan Haggerty), does not look good for Leonardo DiCaprio . . .

Well, now that you've bought it. How does it run?

I would have to agree. Been asked if I was going to go see "The Reverent", I have no interest in seeing that movie as I do not care for him as an actor. To put it politely that he is a smug jerk of a horse's rear end is an understatement. Rather see the new Star Wars (seen it and it was good in my opinion) a dozen times in row than any of his movies.

I didn't buy it. But they are made in Italy and Italian made stuff usually is good stuff. No I still have a echo 360t workhorse and looking into putting the husky 136 carb on it. Way bigger venturi bore than the 360t. On the same size engine 36cc engine

Trial n error the best way I learn anything.

In the part of Minnesota that I live, we are allowed to go see more than one movie per year . . . .

I saw an earlier movie, loosely based on the same story ('Man in the Wilderness') around 1972, so I am interested in seeing the different treatment. New one won/is nominated for a bunch of awards, so maybe there is something to it.

Interesting article on these 2 movies and some of the potential source material from the book 'Lord Grizzly' in the local newspaper:
http://www.twincities.com/entertain...nant-leonardo-dicaprio-bear-attack-hugh-glass

"Attention readers and film-goers: Leonardo DiCaprio's new film, "The Revenant," is not based on Minnesotan Fred Manfred's 1954 novel "Lord Grizzly," although some people think it is. Others think it should be. . . . .Both Manfred and Punke tell the story of real-life Mountain Man Hugh Glass, who was part of an expedition attacked by Indians in 1823. He was nearly torn to pieces by a bear near present-day Lemmon, S.D., and left for dead by two companions." (Since it occurred in the Dakotas, we can discuss it in this thread?)

Come up to my neck of the woods and you'll see a few bears.
Heck up here there was a guy camping a year or so ago that was sleeping outside his tent and woke up with a wolf chewing on his head.

We have prairie dog hunted near Lemmon. Nice little town.

Hard to believe bears were once in that area. Nothing but cows and prairie dogs now.
