Found a Dan log Friday,was blocking up a big locust and my saw quit cutting. I found four bridge plank spikes that I could see,these will take the sharp off a new chain quick. Going back with a couple of old chains and work around those I can see.


Hey Jim! How's it goin' buddeh.....???


Wanted to come to the GTG but I was in Virginny @ my cousin's wedding.


If there's one this next spring I'd really like to make it - the one from last spring was great but they never last long enough.....!!

Jim you don't like rap. :msp_razz:

Jason (Woodchucker) The first time I met Jim was this fall All I could think about was how everyone said how grumpy he was. He is just a real nice guy sweet retired fellow.:D:D
 
What is a smoke test?

Stephen lights up a smoke sits on the ground and with feet against the back of the saw starts pulling on the rope. When he's finished with his cigarette he tells you exactly what's wrong with it.:msp_lol:

It's a machine that that generates smoke with UV detection and injects it into the component that you're checking using low pressure nitrogen gas. We've also got an ultrasonic leak detector that works good when you pressurize the item that you're checking.
 
JUST HAD A BIG BUCK WALK BY THE KITCHEN WINDOW 15 YARDS AWAY!!:angry2::angry2::angry2:

I've got all of the trees 5" diameter and under slathered in pruning sealer to try to keep them from rubbing them down any worse than they are.:msp_angry::msp_angry: It may be working. He sniffed the trunk of one and walked on by.

They've killed about 9 trees so far the last 2 years. Rub them down until they look like a toothpick stuck in the ground.:angry:

As long as ole Jim has his caffine fix he is pretty laid back and mellow. Perking a fresh pot of Black Silk as I type this. Do you still need a good muffler for that 35 Mac,if so PM me your addy and I will send you one.

Nice looking buck. Where are you in SW Mo? I spend time in Monett. I had grandparents in both Cassville & Monett.

That's because you're a late riser.......:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
 
Had a nice chat with Kenneth this evening,he stopped by on his way to Omaha. I hooked him up with a muffler for his old Mac 35.

South edge of Springfield just outside the city limits. There are at least two bucks bigger than him that run though here. Been trying to get one of the guys at work to stick a few of them with his bow. The only challenge is not letting him drop in my deer lovin' neighbor's property.
They might take offense to watching Bambi bleed out on their property.:choler:

I would do it just to see the expression on their face...
What do you think they'd say about me gutting it in front of their house???:msp_sneaky:

That would be interesting to see. I know I'm sure sick of all of the damage that these deer have been doing.

My neighbor on the other side is a deer hunter and has gutted a deer or two on the back side of his property. I know because my dog has drug most of the body parts up into my yard.:msp_tongue: A couple of years ago I took a picture of a deer grazing in front of his bow target while he was out in another county deer hunting.:p

Can fancy gizmos like that be useful on a chainsaw? That sounds like a really sophisticated machine for automobiles.

Well I made it to omaha with out adding to the road kill between here and home. Ditto on the visit Jim. :rock::rock:




Dave pdqdl Got you text As I was getting to Jims:frown: we will have to try this next wkend.:smile2:
 
About that slingerized 757. A suggestion has been made that maybe the leak is on or near the carb.

Is there a boot or something that this could be the case? And would ether find it?

Yes there is a boot and they certainly fail. I had a 757 with that very problem about 2 years ago. I didn't catch it fast enough. :angry2: Cost me a new boot, piston, and cylinder.

lol Yes I'll be sure to not have the gangsta **** goin' when I'm in the hiilz of Mizzurruh. Thanks for the tip. :)


Hope to make it to a possible event in the spring for sure - would like to get some more time to chat with ya. Had some great conversations with ya this past spring buddy I hope to do it again.

Jim is a good dude. Nice as pie and a great conversationist. And he ain't grumpy, don't anyone fool ya - I'm a yankee who listens to rap and he was nice as pie to me.:) He'll break yer balls though, no doubt about it! At the MO GTG this spring we was sittin' around the fire and Stephen and I were talking about who knows what, and somehow the subject of music came up and I mentioned I listen to a lot of rap music (among a ton of other stuff). Once Jim heard me say "I listen to rap" he lightly interrupted and said "Boys, git a rope!" - LOL. Had a great time with everybody, it really was worth the 22hr drive (one way). I left that GTG thinking Jim was a heck of a guy. I look forward to seeing him to shake his hand again in the future.

Wished that MO GTG this past spring was another 3 days longer, that weekend went by just too darn fast. And now that I recall it, right after Jim talking about the rope, I popped up and said "C'mon guys! I listen to a lot of stuff I'm very diverse!" and then Stephens brother popping up saying "What the heck man! Comin' from up north to come down here 'round us southern folk usin' them big words!" Hahaha. Then there was Kim pickin' on me cuz I talked funny - I don't talk funny you guys do!!-LOL. T'was a great GTG. I felt right at home with everyone, I'll never forget that weekend, t'was a total blast. ::thumbsup:: :rock:
