Some cases around here also.

I thought Lyme CT was the epicenter, hence the name. Not far from Plum Island, look it up, it will wake you up!

Cold weather does not discourage ticks, and I understand they can survive the washing machine. But they do not like a good snow!

They will also attach to your arms, torso, head/hair ... they don't just come up your legs or boots. I have also taken a thorough shower and still found them on me, don't know how the little Bas***** do it, but they do!

Don't know how I have avoided getting something, but I have, but the wife got Ericilosis (spelling???) and the dogs have all had Lyme. The tick carry lots of bad crap!

Hit a deer tonight on the way home. Button buck that was more or less dead on impact. I was going slow so didn't smack it all up. Got a tag from the conservation officer and will drop it at the butcher on the way to town tomorrow. Hoping for good meat being it was a young deer. Front plate bracket on my old truck was the only damage so it was insignificant.

Glad your ok Steve.
Good thing it was the old truck, or things could have been bad.
Should make for some good meat .

farmer steve, I have my motor mounts loose a bit so the belt is loose on my conveyor the motor hangs off 2 rods, I then put an 8' board leaning on the motor mount and the ground, I set a round on it for weight. This keeps the conveyor moving normally but if I load it heavy or a split catches then it just slips the belt. Not sure how many years or cords I have run up this but it's been at least 7 or 8 years. I have 2 others for spares, they are getting harder to find at reasonable prices. We flip it around to load the dump trailer, hand load onto the conveyor to keep the loads clean.

thanks for the tip on the belt. i have an old one that i bought to use for hay but it didn't fit in the barn quite right. my buddy was looking at it the other day and asked when i was gonna start using it for firewood. SOON now!!!!

DISCLAIMER!!!!!! NOT AN OIL THREAD.
found this yesterday whilst trying to do an oil mix calculation. i use the 2.6 oz. bottle of stihl oil and wanted to get the exact amount of gas to use for 40:1.

I’m old school and don’t care much for the metric system that we use here in Canada....until it comes to mixing fuel. Just pump how ever many liters of gas, say it’s 10 (gas cans are 5, 10 and 20). So 10 liters is 10000 ml divide by 50 is 200 ml. And the Stihl bottles have a handy clear scale labeled in ml so even a dummy like me can read it. I also write in sharpie on my cans how much oil to use for a full can. I have a 40:1 can and a 50:1.
That’s a great calculator Steve, I bookmarked it.

The stihl bottles tell you how many litres of fuel it is for, you just have to buy the pack for your can or sawing needs, I buy the one 10L because I got the saw can half gas/oil works like a charm and takes the thinking out of it.

Till you fill the fuel side with oil, or the oil side with fuel!

I think you are both right Mike and Chucker.

Lymes started out east but for some reason, the conditions in central MN are perfect for the deer tick so you have the highest probability of contracting Lymes there. So technically both are the epicenter.

Lots of deer on my farm outside of Wadena but we have been lucky with few deer ticks. Once in a while my dog will pick one up. Wood ticks are a SOB I have grassland and pines.

Jeff , that calculator does metric too.

Yes, lymes is not something to mess around with ask Terry or Randy. I have a very good friend who now lives in San Diego Ca because he can't handle the weather here any longer. He's welcome to come here and stay any time for free as he can't work since he only has a few hrs a day he can do much of anything and then he just can't stay up any longer. This is a guy who would do anything for anyone, very dear friend to me, who now has to make choices between meds and eating/paying the rent, and hasn't worked in many yrs(this I think for many men is the most depressing part about it).
Your also correct about where it started, most people don't know anything about the crap our government has done or is doing.
You find this wherever someone wants to have control of others, which is pretty much everywhere.
This clip shows nothing about the major conspiracy side of it, but it's there.

That reminds me. It is dtime to change the oil in the MS361.

I did have my neighbor ask how often he should add oil to his saw. I was checking it out, chain bone dry and looked like it was used in a rock pit.

To bad it's not like the mortgage calculators where you put in any two of the numbers and it spits out the third, but this is not rocket science.
I typically just ad a bottle to .9 gal or a large bottle to 1.8 gal(45:1), if I want to mix for my ported saws I just add less gas, .8 gal to a bottle is 40:1.
Here is an easy way to remember it and get it close guys(in the states).
If 1 gallon to 50:1
then .9=45:1
.8=40
.7=35
....

That's embarrassing .
I need to change the air in my tires as it's starting to get a bit chilly now, time for some winter air .

If we didnt live in the info age I might understand but being that everybody has an entire universe of info in their pocket, that is complete ignorance.
