Went out to tune the high side on the 310 and thought it seemed grabby and stalled in the cut a few times. Whoever grinds my cousins chains has the rakers to low for 30cc of fury in my opinion.

One of the guys I used to duck hunt with would always joke on the colder days in the blind that on days like that he was always worried he'd accidentally pull out a hair instead and pee his pants

I'm soon to be 83. On a good day I have some hopes of finding it.

Well , here's my second trip back to the tractor...

I have found that using penetrating oil, instead of either, doesnt wear out the rings and works just as well.

Well , here's my second trip back to the tractor...

There's a holder for can's of ether on the 856, then you just push a button from in the cab while pressing the starter button as well. Never have used it although it does work, just don't like the idea of ether.

temps like this I wont even jingle a key!! burn up way to many things to get it started and then warmed up to just shut them down...

Cold oil is usually why I don't like to fun around with them in these temps.

It's still -29 up at the cabin. I dread to see my heat bill even with the heat down at 45.

-28f here this am and never got above -10f today. The woodstove and the lp heater fired up.

But Ron is a good fella , he found me the best deal on my self releasing snatch block and with cantdog's help it made it all the way here to Nova Scotia

We were nice and warm here , -12C/10F with a windchill of -22C/-7F but it's 22C/72F in the house on scrounged wood
We did some ice road logging

And we added more to the log brough

Scrounged a little basswood to burn in neighbors shop yesterday. He has a lot of oak cut n stacked but didn't split it so its as wet as the day it was green cut.

The basswood burned surpising well and hot. Fast but took the chill off the -20°F air ya Canadians sent us.

Will probably cut the rest of it up to get through this cold snap.

I went back to check on that construction site wood pile. Driving past the other day I barely got a glance as I was driving by and the speed limit on that road is 50mph so I was passing too fast to really get a good look. I pulled in where the excavating equipment was parked and looked at it. That pile is WAY bigger than I thought. Like 3 times the size of my truck. I saw 2 big trunks laying there that had the bases rotted out but I bet most of it is good, I didn't actually walk up to them but they looked 40"+ diameter. They had "no trespassing, cameras" blah blah blah signs up but I know theres no cameras. And in a white service body truck I could be in there all day and nobody would say anything or care. It definetly does not look like money wood, but I got a logo off the equipment (BOSS Excavating and grading)and a number from the "future site of an assisted living community" sign(866-549-9178) Nobody is going to pick up a fone right now but now that I got a minute it's time to do some looking. If I get permission to plow into that pile is there any central ohio scroungers on this thread?

I'm an hour West of my house at my parents now(730PM Eastern), loaded the stove with sugar about 5, I might drive back about 830, reload, then come back for the rest of the night. I can't stay here long tomorow morning either. Need to get back and get the big 30 going.

another rough day in the big city. Split some wood, cleaned up the saws for tomorrow’s scavenger hunt and entertained the grandson with the wood hauler. I need to find a way to clean this chain. It hardly spins on the bar. The bar channnel is clear. I took the clutch off, greased the bearings and all looked good.

I’m a husky guy. This saw belongs to my brother.
