Thanks for that tip. I've got some cheap 30w bar oil. I'll pour in some kerosene and make it my winter mix.

I pirated a four cup Tupperware measure from Blondie's kitchen that I use to measure it out in. Pour it into a specially marked quart oil bottle.

Ahh. I'll have to try that. Took 3 saws with me today. All fired up good but a lot of trouble oiling. Just so cold. Had flannel lined jeans on, flannel shirt, sweat shirt, insulated bib overalls and carhart coat. Beginning to wonder if I'm getting too old for this stuff. (Cold weather)
I know I am! Yikes!
Still 46deg. In the garage. Nice day for a change.

I split and stacked about 2/3 of a cord of Hedge today. I also dug out the 9010 with the Stihl 36" bar, one of Homelite410's adapters and one of the new loops I got from Randy or 3/8" semi-skip round chisel. The 9010 fired on the first pull and died. It caught on the second pull and ran like a charm. It pulled that seim-skip loop with authority, right until I cut through 3-4 16 penny nails that I missed buried in the tree. 9 good cuts and then toast.... Oh well, at least I know that this 9010 will stomp a mud hole in my old MS 660...

I bought a fiskers pole saw today.... used it to cut limbs so they wouldnt fall on the mother in laws power lines..... it kinda sucked
no chainsaws involved but was able to knock down of nice small stove wood to cut up later
on a sadder note, a long time friend called me last night, he told me they didnt expect to live more than a day or two (terminal cancer)
he woke up this morning so I was able to go see him in miami ok, ..he was doing good enough I could talk to him a bit.
He knows the Lord, he will not be in pain much longer

It was a degree warmer than that here and still had to pull the recoil to move it fast enough to take off.. That big pump really puts a load on that thing...
I need to figure out how to clutch it.
Morning midlanders! Caffeine and nicotine and back to bed.
Ran out of Stihl and Echo parts so we are relegated to clean up detail till the stores open Monday.

Looks like the weather will cooperate to run the load of wood up to Mo-Jims today. Hope to have it there by 1 pm.
Hate to think how much work it may be to get it out of the trailer. Has been sitting in a 16' long dump trailer made from a grain truck for a couple of months & I imagine a lot of it is froze together. Trailer ain't pretty but I only have $300 in it - so far.
If anyone is available to help move the wood this afternoon, help will be appreciated.
I don't have a smart phone so I will be off the site until this evening. If anyone needs directions. Leave a note here & hopefully 67L36driver, Weekend Lumberjak, or one of the other members who have been to Mo-Jim's will send you the directions via PM/conversation. If you want to call me, Hedgerow, Workshop, & Gritz have my phone number & can give it to you again via PM/conversation.
