Is there one tall enough to reach past the wrap handle, so you can still spin it all the way around.

Pretty sure I have at least one of the top ones, don't have that stihl, the bottom looks like and echo one from one of their smaller saws I may have one of those too.
Pretty sure they all reach past if you're using any of the standard longer ones.
My favorite scrench style I saw in a picture within the last couple weeks that @SS396driver posted, I think it must have been an older picture iirc it had his 7900 with a brake flag still, memory test lol.

Most of the food stocks are back in stores around here. The grocery stores were quiet for the last week but were busy again today in anticipation of the holiday weekend.

Fools went nuts over TP and hand sanitizer first. Then it was milk, eggs, butter, and canned soup. The run on milk was a real head scratcher because it’s shelf life is so short. I bought a gallon of milk today that expires on the 14th.

Wife made some homemade bread the other day. Boy was that good. Sort of tasted like those dinner rolls you buy as frozen dough balls but with a more coarse grain.

I’d love to get a sourdough starter going but I just don’t need to eat that much bread.

Our son and daughter in-law have been staying here in our camper, got stuck here after my brothers funeral with the lock down and her school and their jobs shut down so no reason to go back. They like to cook/bake and have sourdough starter, been making lots of breadSure is good and don’t bother me like regular bread does. Traded some to a coworker for eggs, so we’re still eating good
Went out to see what the snow was like at the firewood area today, still little snow out there...this is the road I normally cut fromHope it’s melted out in another month when wood season opens.

Is that Charlie Chapman running that splitter?

I'd agree and I'd happily add them to the list.
Surprising to most I'd buy a 660 or a 661 for milling duty before buying a 395, not really a fan of the front tensioner on the 395.

I like the front tensioner [emoji38]

another month when wood season opens.

Ours opened on schedule April 1st, there’s a somewhat limited cutting area until the snow melts though.

I get the feeling, from many years keeping a watching brief on what Tim's up to, he's the strong (of will) silent type.

Ours normally opens May 15, hopefully they don’t extend the lock down again and it opens like normal.

I called the ranger station today, and got a recording. There was a limited list of services, one of them was you could get a woodcutting permit. So apparently it’s being allowed on National Forests even with all the Covid restrictions.

Almost ANYTHING can be argued as “essential” if they try hard enough.

But wood scrounging.....100% essential. Have to keep the family warm. [emoji1303][emoji41]

That’s good, thanks.

I like vintage iron. This is my saw.

Naw it don't have to be purdiest. I just don't like the 2ply stuff that wraps around itself when ya start a new roll so you only have 1/2 a roll by the time it unrolls nicely.

If the perferations don't line up then take one ply around the roll once and they will.

I've never been crowded by social folks while cutting wood

That's why I'm loading all my cutting equipment & gear on the pontoon before heading to the cabin

Are there not imports about four months out of the year? Not sure what your growing season is.

More like 12 months a year for imports .

Did the Coronavirus spread up there from New Yuck City?

We’re lucky to be across the continent. For now anyway.

373 confirmed , 11 hospitalized and 2 deaths with underlying conditions .

Well last sunday was real nice but a friend called needing a bit of help .

We used a rope and pulley to pull them back

Made some stacks that'll be cut up later for firepit wood .
Even made it to the road for the undisclosed location to put up a sign .

Signs signs every where there signs...

I like that too, makes me realize how awesome we have it, well unless your the guy pulling brush lol.
That's about the speed of @U&A saws.

Pretty cool you guys can still get your wood permits .
