As for the tree, they are worried that I don't have proper help.

I told them I can come up with the mouthiest crew on the planet. How hard could one medium tree be? I was just trying to find a time when some motel dwellers and adventure seekers were game.




If we had 3 - 4 volunteers we could possibly handle it. Realistically take a couple hours.







Or I could do it wrong myself.

If I wasn't on call at work I'd come down. I'm always game to make a fool out of myself. Which usually happens daily.

You're on call for 3 days?

I'm on call for 2 weeks at a time.:bang: Make planning things a real pain.

 

[RVALUE]

That's too bad.


Wish we'd have known that earlier, we'd have added you to the list of ' well, you can't please everybody.'















Seriously, that's too bad. But the mower is ready to fix anytime.

It dumps bad gas out of the air intake of the carburetor.







Solution: Stop putting bad gas in the tank?

Dan when you have gas running out of the carb, the crankcase is likely full of gas also. This has been my experience in most cases like this and I have worked on a lot of them. I wish I was closer,about a hour and we would be mowing grass.

It probably won't blow away.

It seems like too much gas to be coming through the needle. I disconnect the fuel pump, and it runs. (runs until out of gas.) I thought originally the float was stuck, and with bad gas this would be logical. There is a solenoid in the bottom of the bowl, but it doesn't seem to matter whether it is hooked up or not. ( I haven't worked on it in a while, and have filled my pea brain with other problems.) With tools and time , (which I was short when I didn't work on it, ) it should run .

Actually this tree is almost as big as the one Supercabs and I took on. Thank goodness he doesn't come around anymore.

been a funweekend, working sat at the hotrod shop the owner gave me an old
super 33 mac, it dosnt run, but it would make a cool wall hanger. today had a cook out with
the family. my sister in law wanted to see my saws, she ended up running the old 360 homelite,
the first try she didnt dawg the saw in and launched a hard peice of wood off the trailer
after a little teaching she made a good cut, yay!!! mother in law made a utube video of
it, I cant get the link up, but its called "lumberjack barbie" it was great when she realized
she was filmed

If they aren't full o holes or rotten, I say we use em'!
Holler when they're ready to come down, and I can get a trailer there...

Sounds good. Should I take my framing gun and fire a couple of nails randomly in one to see if Dan is still on his game?:msp_rolleyes:

 

[Lurch2]

Could I get the info for the charity cut? Need an excuse to get out for a day.

30 trees out of the sky today. Went well EXCEPT for:

Rope came out of 346. (Had a stihl replacement, didn't have a husky. Didn't want it to not run anymore.)

Dull 372, 36 inch

1 leaner still hanging

few holes in pants pocket .



All in all, very well.


Now a couple days maintenance and we'll be ready to go again.

 

[workshop]

My apologies for my mail box, everyone. Taken care of.

 

[workshop]

Whew!!! I finally got done sending messages to everyone on the list for the Charity cut. At least I hope I got them to the right ones, if I didn't, let me know. I will be on site at 8:00 am, Saturday the 21st. I know most will be coming from a long ways so I will see you when you get there. I hope everyone has a good/safe trip getting here and a good time when you arrive.
Thanks again for the help, guys.

You know what they say about "delusions of grandeur". Although the aforementioned "they" must surely suffer the very affliction…..

Dang, I hate it when I come up short.
