Is that local Steve?

Its about 7 or 8 miles south of Nixa. It's located where the Finley ans James river come together. The O'Reilly family owns the land, 400 acres, and have a staff there to make sure it stays a family oriented place. They are currently building a new recreation center with shower facilities. Really nice place and it's free, too.

My youngest, Christopher, was mountain biking over Memorial weekend at 2 Rivers bike park. He went off a jump and landed wrong, lost control, fell and broke his right collar bone. Snapped it in half. Doctors are going to do surgery at 1pm today and screw plates to hold it in position so it will heal properly. I know its relatively minor surgery, about 45 minutes, but a father can't help but worry.

sorry to hear this Steve.

Hope the surgery goes well and that he mends quickly.

Good evening friends. Steve any updates on your son.

We just got home with him from the hospital. Surgery went very well. He says now he can give the airport detectors something to go off about. But he is in good spirits, pain too, but good spirits. I thank the Good Lord for bringing him back home.

Hey guys what's going on? I've been getting back into saws the past few days, after WKEND LUMBERJAK came over and we fixed his spark problem on an 011 he'd picked up. I have a thing for the 009-012 saws. A few years ago I figured out that you could put an 009 handle on an 012 and have a 45 cc 009. I had one that I did that to, and it wouldn't run afterward. Well, I tried it the other day, and it seems t work fine. I don't think it quite has the power I had expected, but I'll reserve judgment till after I sharpen the chain. I tried switching out the oil pump from a parts 011 to get my original 009 I bought new in 1995 running, and I had to throw a carb on it, and it just dumped a bunch of gas all over the carb area.

I have too many saws. Three 056 Mag 2s I'd like to restore. They are all complete, and two of them run, but not as reliably as I'd like.

I have too many saws.

My 3 month old son and I got to see a skidsteer in action today. Those are pretty cool devices. I didn't get any pictures, though.

Have a good evening!

glad to hear it went well. i broke mine twice back in the dark ages. first time i was racing a friend; i was running and he was riding a bike. i was winning until i outran my feet, fell, and he ran over me. second time was first day of football practice when, trying to impress the coaches, i dove for a pass. landed wrong and busted the collar bone. coach didn't believe me when i told him i'd hurt myself. "just suck it up". after practice my pop took me to the doctor; broken. both clean breaks. didn't know you could put plates and screws in that little bitty bone. they fitted me with a brassiere-like harness to stabilize it and told me to take it easy for a few weeks.
glad he's good.

Morning Gents, all is well in my little corner of the world this morning. I got the Homelite XL15 geardrive running yesterday about dark, sounds good. I need to dig through my stash and find another bar and chain before I stick it in the wood.
Carl give me a call and fill me in on this new project.

 

[67L36Driver]

Need to set up a photo shoot on the Homie Jim.

 

[workshop]

Yep, need pics of the XL15. Never seen one before.
