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

[Stihl 041S]

Ran my Phil 440 hybrid for the first time in big wood couple days ago, I was really amazed and highly impressed by its ability. Was running a new full comp RS chain after a few cuts I sharpened it for the first time then it really started to impress, I am so very happy with the saw.

Yeah. I didn't realize what the 044/046 could do till it held that high RPM in the cut on big wood.
I run 28" Stihl Lightweight bar. Weighs what a 20" does.
Just right.

Twenty inch bars are the norm on the 440 and 460 around these parts, those saws cut without knowing they have a chain on them, especially when ported. Just plain fun running them, whizz right through with no effort at all, sharp chisel chain self feeds.

Wife just left to fly to Phoenix for a week for our grandsons birthday, going to be 107° when she lands, that's why I'm staying here. Really think I should move farther north, but I'm only 30 miles from Canadian now. But I do have a passport, and I do say oot, roond, and aboot now so guess I'd do just fine.

I worked for a call center here in NS. We dealt with a mobile company in the states. A fella called up for whatever reason. I began telling him the solution to his problem. He said.. "are you Canadian?" Lol I said "yes, what makes you say that?" He replied with... "cuz you said aboot"... I laughed, we had a good conversation after that.

Gotta tell this cause it got a Canadian audience. I was young and my folks and I took a little weekend trip to B.C. We were in a little town of Cranbrook and had had a lunch at a little mom and pop restaurant and Dad was trying to pay the bill. He and the waitress were trying to figure the money exchange, seems like it was almost 25%, after a bit of figuring and discussion my Dad said "you know this is kind of silly this should just be all one country" the waitress looked him square in the eye and said "sir your right it should all be Canada". Probably biggest tip see had gotten for a long time.

Funny thing how this money exchange thing goes, I have seen it go both ways many times over the time I have been on this earth, up down 25 cents both ways. I bought $5000. American once to take along on a trip, bought it at par and in two months later the American dollar was worth 80 cents to our dollar, wish I had waited for two months....LOL

Timing is everything in the money exchange market I have seen guys make incredible profits buying and cashing in foreign currencies. They have made a lifetime study on world economics and mostly know what effects the currency of different countries before the monetary value actually changes. When they are buying many million`s of dollars at a block even a penny difference means a lot, hold it as long as they dare and dump it at a seconds notice. 20 - 25 cents on a dollah soon adds up.
