Stop paying the snackies and buy some cheap wedges. I used to use one when I first started cutting and found out quickly a seven dollar wedge pays for itself fast. also take care of yourself. we need you around here for a long time. At 53 you're still a youngster.

thanks,,,,, but right now it is in Gods hands completely,,,,, dont feel to bad right now considering but i am not feeling to much either
 
I've been debating on pulling the trigger on an echo. I've never ran their chainsaws but I had an echo trimmer for years and I couldn't kill it, made some money with that little thing, best trimmer I ever used imo
