Got around to fooling with the little Poulan (Craftsman) top handle saw that I got as a raffle prize at the GTG. I pulled it over a few times after I got home and it didn't "pop" but tonight I put a new plug in it and it fired right off. Took me by surprise. So who ever donated it----Thank you! I'm kind of partial to Poulan no matter what color they're painted.

You need to thank the idiot who didn't put his own name in the pot.


Just saying.
 
I have a pair of Peltor wireless solution headsets. I cannot get them to hook up to my phone.
 
Well I found out via Dad that a lady he works with and her husband (former fire dog and Jarhead) live about 1.25 west of me and just ad a bunch of interesting yellow wood trees with lots of little thorns ripped out and piled loosely. We got the first dumptruck load last weekend. I have to agree with Matt's sentiment: The Stumpbroke 372 is PISSED at wood and has a disdain for Hedge. It thoroughly masticated it!!! It will pull a 28" bar ok in Silver Maple, but a 20" bar in Hedge is magic for that saw. The 261 is starting to loosen up and come around as well. Now I just need a ported 9010 or 395xp and I'll be in like Flynn...:rock:

I swear catching up on this thread is making my head hurt. It has jogged terrible memories of AP Physics class...:help:

what ya need to do is get over to Stumpy's and run the 562XPAT and 576XPAT that he stumpbroke before he ships them back north and may want to add one more to the collection. :msp_thumbup:

I did a little looking around. Do your headsets have an antenna? I think that model is made to talk to airplanes from the ground crew.

The one that I had at the GTG has no antenna.

If you are sure that you have a model that is supposed to "pair" with your phone, it is pretty easy. The toughest part is learning how to turn the blutooth feature on in your phone.

You know they say that if you keep thinking and learning new stuff, senility doesn't happen? Use it, or lose it?

We are just trying to keep the senility from creeping in on you.
 
I am fixin' to come back south tomorrow with several employees and my bobcat.

When I was returning to KC from the GTG, I stopped by Lampe, Mo to visit some property that had been in the family for over 50 years. It seems that somebody thinks it is abandoned, and they have done a survey and stole a chunk of it! Stone County, Mo. even has it recorded on their website as belonging to someone else. The bastards are trying to make off with about 160' of lakefront property on Table Rock lake.

I will be meeting a surveyor on Friday, we will plot out the original deeded 3.5 acres, and then I am going to clear the entire perimeter of MY property. It's about 1500 feet of trees and brush that hasn't been touched since somewhere around 1964.

If any of you guys has a desperate need for somewhere you can make all the sawdust & wood chips you want, this will be a prime opportunity. What trees are in the way will be cut down and pushed out of the way.

I guess it is a good thing I came to the GTG. It might have been years before I discovered the change. We think this was done in 2011, so it's not too old yet.

These do not have antannae. They have buttons. Two AA batteries. But they are black.

How do you turn them off and on? Something about pushing the + and - buttons at the same time.


Did I get fluctuated?

Hmmmmm.... Oak and hickory trees???
 
Name a time and see who can make it .

I am leaving in about 1 hour, arrival west of Lampe, Mo. in about 5 hours or less.

Location: Lake Road H15 Rd, Lampe, MO 65681, also called Black Oak Resort Lane.

We will work tomorrow, fart around in the evening when we get tired of working, maybe do something saturday morning; return to KC on Saturday.

It's a bit primeval: trees, rocks, weeds, machines. No luxuries like running water or toilets. 3-4 miles to Lampe.

If any of you guys really want to come visit, you will be welcome. We will be throwing away all the trees and wood that stands in the way, and the bobcat will be used to make a big pile with it all. If you are after wood, we will load your truck with all the timber you might choose to cut up. My Bobcat can load anything you can cut.
