Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[farmer steve]

Well, now I have a conundrum. Stopped at my dealer to get parts for the CS400 I'm fixing up with my oldest son.

I made a comment that he should throw in the new 462 sitting there. He said he'd make me a helluva deal. I asked him how good. He looks on the computer and says, "How about $800 out the door PHO?"

I had to leave quickly because CAD kicked in hard. After thinking about it I think I should buy it, sell the MS460 and have the 462 ported.

What say you?

Always good to have a second saw so you can keep going if your chain gets dull.

Only 2 Mike?

Always good to have a second and a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th saw so you can keep going if your chain gets dull.

Fixed

We were at a GTG and the lane was basically a 4x4 lane. We saw this mustang coming in and watched this guy start pulling saw after saw out of the trunk. We were like . First time I met @MustangMike.

Think I am going to set my Bronco up to be my dad rig, riding my daughter around in my beater Corolla does not seem as cool as a beater bronco, plus that will give me an excuse to put some money into it and make it a better driver than it already is, things like a nice radio, new dash pad and carpet etc. I am planning to put a set of Tahoe 3rd row seats in the back to gain the shoulder belts for when she is in a booster, but the stock bench and lap works for the rear facing for now.



It needs a set of tires, I am stuck picking between these 2, I am leaning towards the one on the right

I had 20 running saws for a while, but I moved some along so I'm down to 16, but I have several "uncompleted" projects.

Did not get the truck till 2019. The Mustang transported me and my saws to numerous chainsaw GTGs in NY, CT, MA and PA.

This picture of the Mustang is at the Upstate NY GTG in 2018.

I think I've put as many as 14 saws in it.

I did a thing...$832 out the door. I think this will be the one to go under the knife.

I'd pick the AT4s. I think they will wear a little better and be less prone to cupping and getting really loud. Make sure the shocks are good and your alignment is good and you're going to get the best wear from your Twin I-beam suspension.

I rebuilt that entire TTB front end about 4 years ago. I never got it aligned after but I am going to when the new tires are put on. I am leaning to the X-AT purely on visual appearance, even though I know the AT4 is probably the more practical tire.

An 8 pointer, 4 pointer and a button buck are standing by a field browsing on acorns.
The 8 pointer says,
'I'm happy with my 10 does, we're really getting along.'
The 4 pointer says,
'I'm happy as heck with my 5, they really take care of me!'
The Button buck says,
'My two are all right, better than nothing I guess.'
Then all of a sudden a GIANT 14 pointer walks out into the field.
The three bucks had never seen anything like him before, they were in awe.
The big buck made a huge scrape and pissed in it, rubbed a tree the size of a telephone pole and snapped it off at the ground!
The three bucks looked on in amazement.
The 8 pointer says,
'I could probably get by with 4 does...........
Who really needs 10 anyway?'
The 4 pointer says,
'You know.............. come to think of it, I only really use one or two of mine!'
The button buck was silent, as the other two bucks look over to him in confusion.
Suddenly the Button buck runs out into the middle of the field!
He rips and tears up some grass........
pisses all over the place,
snorts & wheezes,
rubs his head raw on a tree,
and chews a lickin branch clean off!
Then he runs back over to his buddies.
His friends immediately ask him,
'What the heck are you doing!?'
I'm just makin' sure that big son of a gun knows I'm a buck!'View attachment 1249649

Good one!

Reminds me of the story of the two bulls.

Father and son bull are standing at the top of the hill looking down at a huge herd of cows.
Son bull says "Dad look at all them cows! We should run down there and breed one of them and then run back up here!"
Father bull says "No son, we're gonna walk down there, and then we're gonna f*** em all."

Current status. 52° and sunny. Fish ain't biting very good, but a handful more of these and I'll be good to go.

Real nice!

Some may disagree but I think jumbo perch are the best tasting non-salmonid freshwater fish out there. More or less walleye but sweeter.

Good morning gents

I need to attach an oil pan to my son’s beater Infiniti. OE only used sealant so that’s the route I was going to go as well. Would you guys think Motoseal would be my best choice? That’s what I’ve used in the past for this type of thing.

 

[Haywire]

Have done a couple VW pans with Permatex Red. Works great, no leaks.

 

[Lee192233]

My favorites...
Grey for machined flat surfaces that were designed for sealant and the black for china walls and applications where there was a gasket and we're just gluing it down. FYI, if you use the black and it’s properly bonded you will have trouble getting it apart again.
