Hey everybody,
Whassssssssssss uuuupppppp. :ices_rofl:

Steve - you don't do the "cool, hipster talk" very well. It sounded blatantly "White" even over the internet. I hesitate to say this to anyone, but you may need to reduce your caffeine intake.


26 years ago today I had my third life changing event happen. My youngest son, Christopher, was born. My other 2 life changing events are Stephanie, the oldest, and Jeremy, the middle one. 32 and 31. All have been the most wonderful things to happen to me. Took Christopher out to supper tonight for his birthday, his choice. He picked Red Lobster. Money is a little tight around the place lately, but what do you do?. I said let's go, son. Happy Birthday. :)

Live from payday to payday and hope the wife doesn't hit any (more) parked cars. That's my motto.

Mornin' all. Looks like a great day ahead! How many days to the next cut? I need a count-down or something. I wonder if my iPhone has an app for that?

My limit is 1 cup of coffee a day.
 
Got a new loop of semi chizel for the PP 655. All 97 drivers of it. Now working up the courage to get him started to try it out..................................

Also a new loop for the client's 'J-Red from Hell'. The Oregon Vanguard cut OK but not the best. I had butchered the rakers down to make it cut.
 
Started in on my dads 445 Deere it has a broken engine cradle. I guess it's pretty common in those tractors.

been a real good tractor for him. 1009 hrs and counting.
 
We need to do a GTG this fall...
I've had some requests for November...
You all think that's too late??
Cold??

I volunteer a Saturday or 2, or a Sat-Sun, to help you prepare. Might get a chain sharpening lesson if we have time. I have been going to Branson with 2-3 other families on one of the first weekends in November for 10+ years,,,,so I may not be able to make the GTG; but, I still want to contribute.
 
Morning Kenneth, John, Mike, Marc, Steve, and the rest who have not posted yet. Have a good day.



115 days until the next show down :rock:


115 days!?!?!!? Nuts, I'm going through withdrawal already. Looks like I'll have to spend some additional quality time with saws to get me through. Maybe just sharpening chains or putting a fresh coat of wax on each saw after cleaning them. Maybe it's time for Digger and Max to start building another saw...:D
 
carl, i musta missed what was the ultimate problem with the jrfh. can you edumacate me on that?

Jerry, you have been AWOL for a time. The bearings and seals were shot in the J-Red from the get go. Fixed that. Then I sheared the flywheel key attempting to pull start. Didn't discover that untill I pulled the recoil and turned the flywheel by hand with the plug still in. Fixed that. Then he was first not getting gas and then flooding all the time. Dropped the metering lever .015" below chamber floor and finally go him to run/cut. Now we are attempting to fit a Husky muffler where a gutted Jonsered muffler resides. Owner likes his saws quiet.
 
On Vanguard you have to take the depth gauges way down to make it work. Most of the saws I sell I reserve vanguard for......

I 'touch' them with my 4 1/2" angle grinder to get a good start to filing them down.

I should get a .030" Oregon guage. One right there in front of me yesterday at Orschlens.
