Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

[IEL]

Thanks guys! Finally 16, I can get my L drivers license. (can drive with a fully licensed person in car) I hope to write the test in a week or two.


Another cool thing I'm doing. The museum has several iel beavers (world's first one man chainsaw) and I'm going to try and get one going. It's seazed now, so I'm going to block the ports, and soak it with some foodservice/industrial penatrating oil labled "industrial use only, not for home use or resale" Not sure how their shop got it? Sure works well though. Let it soak the day with that, then before I leave fill it with diesel, and let it soak the week. Each week stick a dowel in the spark plug hole and tap it a bit. Hopefully in a month or two I will have it freed up. It will still be their's, but seeing as I'm the only saw guy there,I could run it whenever I want.
It will be a cool project. I will get some pictures today for you guys.

The guy I'm getting the saws from also has a 1970 international fire truck. Real cool machine, only 19,000 miles, mostly pump. Said he would be selling it in a few years? For $9000 I might have to get it... LOL. By then I would be doing my apprenticeship as a diesel mechanic, might be able to afford it? Less than most used pickups... Gets 8mpg!

I've kept my eye out. No great deals yet. Working on fixing the ones I have and then I'll look a little harder. Still looking though.

Took a page out of Tbones book and have the wife looking at yard sales. No luck on that front yet though.

Running the 6400 today cutting shagbark, what a saw. I have my big "mitre" box full of small stuff waiting for the 9010 with the 28" bar. Nothing like cutting a half cord with two cut.

Happy birthday Geoff, hope you have a good day. You've got some good qualities for a guy your age, try to keep them.

You really need to put a BB kit on that 6400 ! And grind just a little. Makes a real beast of a saw !!

Ask Ron about them too !
