Jim did you make it through the cold snap.

Yes and it really put a big hurt on the wood supply. This warm up has helped and I should be able to to get in and cut a couple of loads the first of the week. I slept in this morning and still waiting for the coffee to kick in, about two more cups and I should be good to go.

Went down to Bull Creek with some wood cutting friends today to cut up a HUGE walnut that fell over about 6 months ago. Took plenty of saws too, including the Lombard. Dressed with a 24 inch bar and Still semi-chisel chain. After working a while with a couple other saws I pulled out the Lombard. Fired right up, let it warm up, and went to work. To say this thing was loud would be an understatement. The other guys had to move to another area. I had hearing protection on and was easily 3 times louder than my others, but what a cutting machine!!! Had the bar buried and just walked right through it without slowing it down and throwing chips like mad. This thing is awesome. Hinerman, you will love this thing.

how does it run?

how does it run?

If the weather holds up, we will find out tomorrow. The carb. needs to come apart as it dribbles fuel from tank pressure when shut off. Metering lever must be too high.

Flywheel has a woodruff key now. It was AWOL.

It will all come apart in April when we go on a painting rampage.

Congratulations!!! Grandchildren were the best thing that happened to me. You get to fill them with all kinds of sweet things (Grandpa's prerogative), then send them home.

My mouth is watering....I will probably lay awake at night thinking about it.

Trying to cut with the Wards 4.0 this morning and he kept fallin' on his face. Put new diaphrams in the Tilley and cleaned the inlet screen. Filled him with fuel and he cuts like a champ.

I had been trying to cut with a nearly empty tank..............................................................Duh!
