... "I've been fond of warm beer ever since..."
----------------
Suppose I own two bars across the street from each other. One bar advertises that it has the coldest beer in town. The other bar advertises that is has the warmest beer in town.

After a year competing with each other, which bar will have the most sales? Please advise.

The one with the cuter waitresses?

got it penciled in. maybe can make it since can't make the gtg. sounds fun. you gonna have a sharpener on site? piling brush or leave it lay?

Generally we leave it lay unless we need access with trucks to get to the cut wood, then we will pile it out of the way.
We usually cut everything down to about 2 inches in diameter. Some of the people we deliver to are elderly and they like small stuff better. It's easier for them to handle. Some of the tops out there are up to 24 inches in diameter.

Last year we only had 2 people running chainsaws. A friend of mine and myself. My wife would run the hydraulic splitter and another friend would come out because he liked the company and being out in the woods. I'm hoping between here and another group that we can get up to 50 people running saws. But I will be grateful for any help at all. This season is looking up as far as volunteer help is concerned but we are still a weak on chainsaw operators. That's why I am turning to you all. 2 years ago I delivered a load to a gentleman and his wife that lived back in the sticks in a dilapidated mobile home. I won't go into details about him but suffice it to say he is handicapped. He didn't believe in handouts and I would go pick him up and bring him along. He had modified a little Woodshark and would help cut firewood too. It's truly amazing.
I want to thank everyone in advance for any and all help with this project.

At least that is what it appears to be. No markings on it. But mine isn't near as nice as yours. Mine is pretty much just a parts saw.

Hey everybody, I wasn't sure where exactly to post this request and thought I would start here. If I am in the wrong area please let me know where to post it at. I work with a small group of volunteers here in Christian County that is called Hearts to Hearth. We cut, split and deliver firewood for free to the needy. 2 years ago we were able to deliver 255 pickup truck loads. Last year our volunteer base fell of drastically and were only able to deliver about 75 loads. I have access to an area that is about 250 acres in size and has about 200-300 tree tops on the ground ready to cut. What I am asking for is as many chainsaw people as possible for 1 day only. The date will be September 28th. I'm hoping to get enough people together to cut as much, if not all, of these tops as can be cut. No delivering, just cutting and moving the cut wood to the front of the property for further processing. A 4 wheel drive truck will be needed to get back to where the wood is. If you don't have a truck we will shuttle people and equipment back to the area. You will need to bring food and water for yourselves. I'm planning on starting about 8am and lasting until about 6pm or whenever we get tired and decide to stop.
I'm looking into the possibility of being able to camp out there and making it a 2 day affair but have not been able yet to clear that with the landowner, so for right now am planning on 1 day.
If you are interested in fellowship with other AS members and have some fun with your chainsaws and donate to a good cause please PM me with questions and directions to the sight. If needed I will have somebody posted at the front of the property for people that can make it but would be late because of distance travelled. I realize that everyone who reads this won't be able to come because of certain constraints but would appreciate any and all that can come.
I will keep everybody posted as to progress.
Thank you very much for your time,

The area is just east of Springfield, Mo.

Steve, put me on your PM list for helping out. If I can make it to help I will. Sounds like it would be a lot of hard work for a very good cause.

Also, I've been out of the loop for a while - so if someone would be so kind as to post or PM me with the dates of the GTG at Jasper I would appreciate it. I hope to make it this year and barter / sell a lot of the stuff I have piled in the basement.

 

[cobey]

thanks, we will see what happens, :msp_biggrin: someone may love these saws more than us. chad said they are collectable but Idk
ill at least try to start mine. it would be a neat runner but I bet parts are high dollar (bars, chains, clutch cover ect ect) it was listed to use a 3/8 .050 chain so at least that isnt weird stuff. it has a chrome muffler that is still chrome too and the padding on the handle is good

 

[Hedgerow]

Matt is that the same weekend as Fort Scott?

WorkShop you are in Ozark? I think I can if it is not same as previous ?? to Matt.

Sounds same as Kentucky and Fort Scott both!!! Ugh...

I think I have parts for that.

Steve, do you remember if I got a couple of those from you?

I'm pretty sure there's one or two in the pile in the basement. Let me know if either of you need something for yours. I'll bet I can help you out.

It would be great to have you Marc. I will put you on the list. I know of a certain MS260 Pro that you can borrow if you need to.:msp_wink:

 

[cobey]

It kinda depends on what town you are in. You might do worse with the cold beer in Berlin.

Besides, I never said I didn't like cold beer, nor that I preferred warm to cold beer. I just don't care too much if it is cold, cool, or even slightly warm. Even a good hot beer isn't too bad sometimes, depending on the brand. Budweiser doesn't do too well when it warms up.

I STIHL miss that saw, dang it. You shouldn't tease me like that. I've sort of gotten the bug for the older Poulan saws at the moment, like the 2800 and 3400 I'm slowly going through right now. Parts are still out there and they're good, solid saws. That 260 Pro was the best little Stihl I'd ever laid my hands on and the old Poulans can't really hold a candle to that little gem. I hope it gives you many years of good service, my friend.
