We should schedule an informal GTG sometime, would be good to have a get together, talk and run saws!

I also have another "project saw" I have not purchased parts for. It is an early model MS880 (has the cast muffler with spring clips like the 088s).

Came with a 42" 404 B+C. I hear that it is best to use OEM pistons with this model (not Meteor), so I have been conflicted about if I really need it! The P+C are pretty burned up, but I think I can save the cylinder, but I'm not sure if it has bearing damage. I suppose someday I will find the time to check it out, but it has been in my shed for a few years now.
 
Kevins would be faster :chainsaw: .
Here we go again with the weight thing.
:rock:
Yes the 550xp smokes the 346xp. Yes it is heavier. I also had a 562xp 2nd gen. Weight wise I though it was closer to the weight of my 372xp OE. I ended up selling it. Now I have the 550xp 2nd gen, my 372xp OE and a really nice 394xp.
Exactly what I've said. I do enjoy running my ported 562, but my modded 371 is like an ounce or two heavier, and my ported 365 runs right with the 562...
The 550mk2 is a great saw, but I have a couple late model mk1's, set up with 18x325 for limbing, and a couple ported 261 Mtronic saw I run 20x3/8 on, so no need for one currently. If one came along at the right price though...
 
My my my, Facebookland sure got eerily quiet last night around 11 PM

I went outside and faintly in the distance I swear I could hear munchkins singing.
I was relieved when I woke up this morning and they had not found a zillion new uncounted votes!!!

My biggest dismay it the stupid NY voters approved proposition 1 - giving illegals more rights than citizens! They are now a protected class in NY! This must be repealed!
 
I didnā€™t expect to see this on November 6ā€¦ nor have 75Ā° temperatures at 11 AM. Supposed to hit 78Ā° later. Itā€™s a small rat snakeā€¦ 3ā€™ max.

My son found a rat snake shed up near the ridge of the roof of the house we have under renovation. This while he was cleaning the gutters.

Looks like he is conformed to the bottom of a corrugated roof!
 
Morning fellers, sorry I'm so far behind but I'm catching up. Anything interesting been happening over there while I've been away? šŸ¤”
Nope, pretty quiet around here. In fact, it seems like the texts and phone calls have kinda died off this week. šŸ«£
 
I didnā€™t have much hope for the presidential election so was surprised to see what happened.

In local politics newcomers cleaned house. Our 11 term mayor was voted out on nearly a 2 to 1 margin. We also had two city council seats up for grabs. One incumbent who I thought had done a good job in her first term as well as one incumbent who was recently appointed in July due to a resignation were amongst the five running for two seats. The appointee (who everybody thought had done a great job in a very short time) won his seat and the other seat was taken by a lifelong local resident who I know will do a good job as well. After years of a 3-2 gridlock, we have a strong mandate to fix a lot of the problems here and I would expect most votes will go 4ā€“1 or 5ā€“0 because the remaining toxic person doesnā€™t have any buddies left.

I was sad that a few of my friends didnā€™t get a chance to serve, but very happy with the choices nonetheless.
 
With the Rut full swing here, not as much free time to hang with you saw junkies.

But, hereā€™s how everything has been going

Got a nice 8 with my Xbow on Sunday morning. Made a poor shot, backed out of the woods and sat nervously for two hours. My best buddy and I went in and found him bedded down in some thick stuff.

Then my pal calls me up in a panic asking me to bring my dog over to his place as his son ā€œshot a good buck and we have no bloodā€. So Gunner was loaded up and we drove across town. The dog performed perfectly and we were able to recover the young manā€™s best to date buck. He was VERY happy and grateful of the dog. IMG_9550.jpegIMG_9552.jpegIMG_9565.jpegimage000000.jpeg
