Mid-State and back at ya !

You left out South Dakota.... Since no one around here likes saws like me!

You're right about "liking saws as much as me." I know enough to operate one safely but, little as far as modding or competition use; for me, they're a very useful but, dangerous tool. I don't dislike them but, I'm really nothing more than a user at this time. That said, 'Hi-ya' ! Now, I'm off to try and learn how to replace the darn muffler shield that broke and melted my chain brake. (No laughter, I'm still p-o'd).

Hi new guy. First thing I gotta ask is what is "donutleaf"? I love donuts. Cool to see your first post is on our thread.

Sawmill guy cant make it Saturday

He said he could do it next weekend.. but I think most of us have plans already for the 4th.

RRR!!! Well if it comes down to it I wouldn't care if we raced in round logs at the fair in Rush City. I even said to Sarah it would maybe be cool to have a 24-28" red oak log to cut up to show the locals what a ported saw is all about. What do you all think of that?

Honestly, it's a kinda-sorta play on words : do not leaf as in : I'm not leafing but, feel free to interpret as you wish, it's also kinda open for that as well.
I came here to look into a search result from google on replacing the muffler shield for my Poulan 4620. My profile pretty much sums the level of expertise I own with chainsaws and as I was in the process of doing my small community a favor by removing a large elm tree when the shield apparently removed itself from the back-end of the muffler resulting in the melt-down of the chain brake assembly, something I read in here as an inevitable result of improper ministrations towards modding of mufflers, I wasn't certain if I could figure out how one went about repairing or replacing the shield; silly me, I learned the quickest method was to purchase the entire assembly as the shield part has been rendered obsolete. I can certainly testify to chain brake melt downs today so, I learned 2 new things !

I'm afraid I'm going to be one of those semi-regulars here as I'm attempting to start a working retirement with a newly purchased food trailer and everything about it is brand new for me and my wife. I still hope to read as much of the forums as I can find the time to get back here for and I'll try to upload some pictures some may find interesting, hopefully. We had a really large tornado come through here 3 years ago and I've been cutting the dead trees down for firewood in a heavily forested area near the White River area of South Dakota ever since. It's really amazing to see 80ft cottonwoods ripped out by the roots along with elm and ash of substantial dimensions as well. Thank you for the welcome.

You do realize "afternoon" is actually referring to the period of time that begins after 12 o'clock noon, right?oke:
