Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

If I actually used them for anything more than a thermometer, I'd fix the clocks...

if you can get them to use the measuring stick or mingo marker.

OK OK I'll make a measuring stick you win.

I was at a GTG of a past members and he got annoyed that we weren't measuring the pieces. Then I went to one where they use a outside burner and the guy was just overjoyed that we cut it all up. Me, when I care..... I use my bar tip to my bucking spikes. Close enough to 18 and keeps it all consistent. By the end of the day I'm just cutting and I will bet $1000 I'm within 1/2 inch on all cuts. Uncle Mike has a tape measure in his left eye, his cuts are VERY consistent, must be the almost 40 years of doing it experience.

Call it a GTG and help will pop out of the weeds. Just let them know how long it needs to be or it will all be an inch or less

if you can get them to use the measuring stick or mingo marker.

I picked up this file for 3/8lp to do the cs310 chain. Iv since returned the saw does that meen I need to buy another saw so I have a reason to have the file?

 

[MechanicMatt]

Duh! YES!!!

Bub, seriously.... your 33, by the time I was your age I think I had 20-25 saws (I severely downsized two years ago). Guns, saws, fast cars.... they're like Pokémon I'm telling ya! You HAVE to try them all. It's un-American to live any other way! Men eat red meat, drink cold beer, shoot guns, drive fast cars and own HUSQVARNA chainsaws.....

On a side note, I met a guy today at my job that owns the gun bluing shop down the road (2miles) from the dealership. One of my techs was doing some "side work" on his car. I was a tech for a long time so I don't bust balls, rather just figure the guys are trying to make ends meet or earn the extra dollar for the nice things in life. So the owner of the Bluing shop and I started talking, I think I found the guy to bring my old Pre64 model 70 back to its former glory...

 

[MechanicMatt]

I will add, it was "after hours".

Uncle Mike, it was Richie, he has his number if you need anything taken care of....

Your saw has been defiled?

It wasn't my saw was just removing the cat and retuning for my cousin. Can't tune a saw with a dull chain. I forgot the 2300 and s25 run 3/8lp so no need for a new saw.

 

[MechanicMatt]

BOOOO! Everyone needs a new saw!!

 

[MechanicMatt]

I'm still trying to land that 550 for a song and a dance...

EVERYONE needs a new saw, New Year - New Saw....

BOOOO! Everyone needs a new saw!!

Agreed. I bought my brother a 576xp this morning.

Everyone does NEED a new saw. I want one of @Red97 cs 730 hybrids or a 7900 next. But I can get by with what I have.

Matt, it may make it look nice, but re blueing generally takes away from the value.

Going to get bitterly cold Fri + Sat (lows below 0 F and highs in single digits), but by Monday highs will again be above freezing for a bit. Hope to cut some wood that week!

Damn! I didn't know I had to have a reason to buy another saw.

If I can get a couple more built, I will start selling them off. After port work it will outrun the 7910 up to 24"bar. 28"+ buried the 7910 starts closing the gap.

Took a quick picture this morning when I went to be my wife's remote starter for her car. Thought the moon and chimney smoke just looked nice.

It's at the point where the number on the thermometer is meaningless... it's just fkng cold. Forecast overnight low Friday -> Saturday is 5°F, with a Saturday high of 12°F. Overnight low for Saturday -> Sunday, 0°F

Agreed. I bought my brother a 576xp this morning.

i think I need a new brother!!!
