Morning, yes. Jury is still out on the good.

Good morning to all

Last night's weather reporter said, "We're going from winter to summer." no spring this year. I ain't complaining considering all the tornado destruction we've had in the past.

That is likely to increase this year, rather than diminish.

You get tornadoes mostly from warm summer days over moisture laden countryside. The sun comes out in May/June, evaporates a whole bunch of spring rain and puts a bunch of excess energy into the atmosphere, then the thunderstorms get going real good that evening.

This pattern doesn't really quit until the ground dries out good in July.

Then east of here is in trouble then...
Cause we are a bit of a swamp here...

Tornado season is year round here, I remember a bad breakout on Christmas eve one year. We have them at all times and seasons.

 

[Hedgerow]

I hate tornados...

On another note...
I finally got enough sun the other day to spray the whole garden with Roundup...
Should be dead in a week or so, then on with the latest garden planting in years...

He's off grid for a bit... He'll holler when he's back up...

He forget to pay his light bill again?

Well you know who to contact if you do...
Did you save the 65cc jug for that?

I think Stumpy smoked that one in his old shop.

All the 365 needs is a flat top piston to be perfect. Or just grind the pop-up off...
The ports were only widened a little, no big port job on this one. It is strong!

Here I thought you where a Dolmar man.otstir:otstir:

 

[Hedgerow]

Yup...
Need another pretty Husky for the stable though...

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Never ra n a 357 but the new 562 was sure nice.

 

[moody]

Yup...

I need at least 4 more but who's counting? I like dolmar stuff but it's new to the area so grabbing used stuff is hard. I occasionally find older retired stuff the Mormons brought out from Utah that ends up in the collection. But that's a rare opportunity.

 

[sunfish]

357xp is just a very nice firewood saw, zippy too.

But it needs to be ported and done right to keep up with a 562xp...

Made some mods to the splitter... Working out well...
The tall wedge and pusher have been very handy from the start...
I can split 2 smaller rounds at once... Now if only the operator were faster and more productive...:msp_rolleyes:

With a piece like the one that's in it, I can get 9 splits in 4 cycles...
I need a SS to go with this thing...
