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.

Crap!!! Wifes nephew is graduated from H.S. and the party is 2-5 this afternoon. It's a 'must attend' according to Blondie. And, we don't want to P.O. Blondie.

Call me anyway when you get to Halls/Joetown. 816-294-Three Zero Two Two. (cell)

Outside chance. I'll drag my son and/or my S.I.L. down to help. They will want a break from the 'festivities'.

Don't ask tell'em they need to go help a couple of Vet's.

Well asking may get you further

Have not heard from John or Jim. Leave for torture session in twenty.

In the mean time got MS290 #2 running. Damn floppy cap leaked but have 'O' ring that fit.

Graduations are overrated, I skipped mine. Gypped classes so gypping graduation just seemed natural.

Report from Jim they got John unloaded and on his way back home. Jim didn't know he was coming. Yikes!!

Spitting a little snow here and 33 degrees. Pray John has a safe trip.

Jim reports the Echo on indefinite lease runs well but needs the limiters removed. LOL

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

I am sure it was a surprise. Any bites on the Stihls.

Just jumping in here.

I bought a minty Dolmar 7300 last week. Sold the piston & cylinder last night. Planning to order a 7900 P&C tomorrow. Hopefully I can have another 7900 together soon.

The 73 just couldn't hang with my ported 79. Not even with a 7 pin sprocket on the 73. In fact the 73 wasn't any more impressive than my 120 Super

Back home, no problems on the roads. Once I got east on 36 to Carrollton the rain diminished to an intermittant mist/occasional light sprinkles.

The look on Jim's face was worth the trip. He was out splitting when I got there.

One call on the MS290. Fellow from KC. English as a second language. Coming by early this week. Not holding my breath. C'list shopper you know.

Evaluating the 310. Pumps 105 dry and 160 wet. Strange!

Older fellow yesterday brought along his nephew to translate. Yikes!

But having been in the Army, I've lost any bias I might have had.

 

[cobey]

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.

is there a way to have a manual bypass ball valve of some type?

a wet test on a four stroke like that means bad rings?

 

[Homelite410]

Hey Matt, can you cut off the suction and let the pump just spin while the engine warms up?

 

[67L36Driver]

a wet test on a four stroke like that means bad rings?

Or, low ring tension (worn), dirty/dry ring lands, stuck rings, etc. but not scored.

I am trying to work it out to come up to Springfield this Friday /Saturday, and slip logs. This would allow efficiency of the sawing operation. This would also allow us a tractor the next week, if it doesn't die. LOL

 

[thinkrtinker]

Slip logs?

 

[RVALUE]

Tote logs out of the woods to the cutting area. Fetch.
