If you guys are looking to run those big saws in some bigger wood, my buddy has several 20" plus ash, oak, and sugar maple that are dying or dead up near Albany. God willing, I'll be up there for presidents week.

Nonsense my friend, I'm not butt hurt at all. That list was for myself predominantly lol. I had some buyer's remorse after leaving with it. Thought why the hell do I need another 60cc saw? Those are the reasons I came up with during the trip home

Ha! I would have had zero buyers remorse, and already have several poulans from dinky to big. If that ad was around me I would have snagged it.

Man I wish I could say YES, but that is in Tax Season, and I can't find the time to do any cutting for that 2.5 months (2/1 - 4/15). Unfortunately, just the way it is. I work 7 days a week, long hours every day, for 2.5 months to pay the bills for the rest of the year.

Oops forgot that you are a CPA. Understand completely. Will catch you in the summer. Maybe Matt is up for a little day trip with the fam.

My buddy has a MS211c which is a tad on the small side for stuff like that.

Not a CPA., but have a degree in Accounting, I am a Tax Preparer, and retired Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE).

Can I claim a chainsaw deduction as a business expense? I am in the business of scrounging firewood to keep from freezing my butt off.

Good deal, thanks. It's a 96 I believe. Chevy Gladiator 1500 conversion. I'm actually about to drive this damn van into the Chesapeake Bay. It's pissing me off. Just bought a new battery and it's dead after sitting for a night. Have to find the power drain[/QUOTE]
take the heavy power wire off of the alt. charge battery. do this in the evening.. next morning, if the batt is up, bad diode in the alt....

 

[Ambull01]

Will do @olyman

On another note, some comic relief for the day. At least I thought it was funny. Saw this on CL:

Jan 5 Homolite 14" chainsaw $75 (Manassas) pic map tools - by owner

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/tls/4822196950.html

"We have for sale a Lightly used 14" Homolite Chainsaw. Good clean Working condition. No tools required for chain tightening. Perfect for the homeowner for light tree/limb work. $75 Cash"



Serious spelling fail.

Although mine isn't a Homolite, that's essentially the small saw I have. The only thing is mine's a 42cc, not a 35cc...it serves the purpose for $75. Beats waving the 391 around all day...

You just reminded me, I want to weigh the Homelite and the Makita. Homelite seems almost as heavy as the Makita. Don't see how that's possible though.

Was it really warm (for winter) up in your neck of the woods yesterday? It was about 65 deg here last night around 18:30. Supposed to drop down to 20 or so on Wednesday.

It was nearly 50 last night, hasn't broke 29 today.

Yeah, it's gonna get cold in the northeast this week. Time to have some good hot fires going!

My local forecast (17765 area) is showing a high of 13 degrees on Wednesday and 14 degrees on Thursday. I don't want to talk about the lows.

 

[MustangMike]

Very windy with a high of about 30 today, and supposed to get much colder over the next few days! I even put the Blizzak Tires on the Mustang today! I must be gettin lazy, this is about the latest I have ever done it! With the Blizzaks the Mustang does not have to hibernate in the winter! I don't like letting anything sit too long w/o being used (saws, cars, etc). I just don't think it is good for them, even though it is garaged.

Negative high teens to mid twentys here tonight then warming up a bit

Darn near tshirt weather

262 is on the bench! Getting ready for some action. 575 is missing a few parts, with all the other saws I'm in no big rush. Hey, I just picked up a sweet .17hmr, the price was too good to pass.

Well I did wear a quilted flannel when I was disposing of the ash and loading up my firewood sled! It's got to be at least in the 30s for a t-shirt!
