Chipper has on his editors hat again. Bad chipper bad!!
I'm back :happy:.
These cases can go either way, what clears in one state may not in another. I wouldn't risk it.
Me either, probably some C4 in there to to help remove the evidence šŸ˜Ž.
X27. But this stuff splits so easily you can just about do it with a raised eyebrow. It's even easier when it's dry.
In Australia even the eyebrows are killer :surprised3:.
 
Funny stuff for sure.
I won't be supporting or saying anything positive about that beer company after their woke messaging recently.
Get woke, go broke.
I'm with you on that. I shouldn't wish bad on them, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if all the woke corporations went belly up.
 
Got the last couple of scrounges split and stacked. I've kept the splits big because it is less dense wood than most of what I burn. Green density 1050kg/m, ADD 620kg/m compared to peppermint at ADD 820kg/m. Stihl, as @dancan would say, better than burning snowballs.

Sunday. That's candlebark down the bottom with the darker orange colour.

I walk through and scout a 4WD trail thatā€™s 8-10 thousand feet elevation. The last big snow year was 2011, it didnā€™t open until August 16th that year. Could be later this year.

those of you with 880 magnumsā€¦what sort of muffler mods have you done? I have one on the bench for basic serviceā€¦carb rebuild, etc. but figured Iā€™d do a MM while itā€™s here.
I tried searchā€¦bustā€¦tried YouTube, same šŸ™„

so, searching for a carb kit has been a bustā€¦

one possible on eBay but not exactly conclusive.

Beautiful Spring day here today! Had most of it free and wanted to get to the range, but clients called with BS and jammed me up ... and the program would not let me file an amended PA State return ... why is the PA procedure different than NY!!! Wasted a lot of time resolving it ... not happy!
Pa is a commonwealth. (Ie wealth of communism) .. we do everything arse backwards compared to real states.... we just keep the "key stone state" moniker for fun.
 
Well, the shops frame is at my place. 3 skids full of all sorts of 2x3" tubing and not a single scrap.of paper for what goes where and nothing that looks even close to being a man door frame. Sent the company an email. They've been pretty good about getting back to me about stuff so well see what they have to say.
Township called this morning to come pick up my permit. So looks likes everything is lining up. Just have to dig some footers and pour some concrete. Oh wait, I still need to finish moving the log pile.... yep. Need to kick it in gear now that the jetta is "done".
It got a new turbo, injectos, intake and exhaust this weekend. I installed the lift pump (got it used.) And like my luck. It was dead. Like dead as a door nail. That ticked me off pretty good, ordered a new one. Doesn't nessisarrily negatively affect the car, at least till it gets higher in the rpm and in higher gears. Now just need to data log while I'm driving and go back and forth with the tuner to get her dialed in. It's like a driving a new car. Actually has enough power to get out of its own way!

Thanks for the šŸ‘ Chipper butā€¦not helpfulā€¦

There's enough stihl bashing in here already, figured I'd leave this one alone :innocent:.
What's the saw being used for. I prefer out the "passenger" side, except when I'm using a saw for flush cutting(I try to use my beat up saws for that) as it throws chips and dust up and you have to breathe more of the exhaust.
Personally I don't ever see myself using a saw that big, but if you send it out here I'll let you know for sure how I feel about it :p.

PS, can't believe you don't have more wood stacked up around there.

Used for cutting up big logs at the wood yard...that are too big for the processor.
Saw is too clean inside to have been used much...bought in 2010.
 
Will he still go in there now that he no longer owns the resort?
Not likely. He's just estimating based on the last 25yrs. He's out of the business now...lives in Bishop.
I can remember 15-20' walls of snow at the pass in July but that was back in the early 80s.
