You talkin' ginger ale or consumin'

Your pick.

 

[dooby]

Your pick.

As far as Ginger Ale goes it mixes w/ alot of stuff. Use it some. As far as "drinking Canada empty- they can out drink me 2:1, I can drink , they are different. Almost like 'RIDDOCK" can kill in them movies. To expensive to drink up there. A 12pk. of anything domestic is$20-26.00, and a 1/5th is $40-48.00 for avg. stuff, nothin' fancy. That's why the Buggers are down here. Snoose are smokes are double. And the B.C. folks can party. I live on a 40 acre lease and am surrounded by Canadians during the summer. And my best neighbor is from Texas (cause he is only here for 4 days a yr.) NO JOKE! $275,000 house and a $175,000.00 guest home and that's not counting the land (14 Acres-$90k). I bet HuskStihl is kool, though. That :censored:idiot shows up here in mid Aug. every year and lights fire works. Lawdawgs are savvy to him this year, his Alberta neighbor told on him.

Well Im off ... gotta find a plce to get my hair cut. I'm starting to look like the wolfman.....

Just get a Remington hair clipper. Costs the same as a good hair cut but works for years. I just shear myself every month or so.

I run about a 3mm over my entire head and face every two weeks. Been doin it for 10 years so everybody just kinda gives me a pass for having no personal style

 

[HuskStihl]

HuskStihl- you got some nice guns. I have a 394 high top and have had a few. I will run out almost 2 gallons in avg. day (7 hrs.) maybe more in the bigger wood. I Usually got a 32" -36" bar on it w/ full skip sq. grind. Did the weight and fuel consumption get ya ?

The 385 just feels a lot "tighter", and is only giving up 8cc's to the 394. But the 394 sure does make a loud, chippy mess!

cut mine every two-three years, and then its just a hack it of about there deal... shave only when it catches on fire or the wifey starts complaining... but then I go old school and use a straight razor...


I have a line on an 066 just out of the shop for $700. I was holding out for an 880 class saw... I don't really need anything quite that big and the 066 is in great shape... what youze all think?

also know where two 084's are for around the same price but condition unknown.

700 sounds good, condition.

Just me I might holdout for the 880. Needing one isn't the point, having it and not using it is. :msp_rolleyes:

A new 880 is over 2k... about the only hitch in this plan... would be overkill and then some!!!

I know I'm a husky user but ......my opinion you'll prob get more use outta a 066/660 than a 088/880 juss my opinion tho .........and the 088 is a better saw than the 084 again juss my opinion

guy i know bought an 880 ,he ran 660 before that ,he looked pretty run down running that heavy saw for the day cutting ,he said it seemed gutless too for what it was

Again my opinion but the 880 etc won't cut much quicker but it has more grunt ........I guess really it depends what ya falling and what bar ya wanna pull. If it big old growth ya gonna fall (or big in general) where the saw gonna be buried in the stick then weight not so much an issue (well packing it is lol) and the bar size and grunt will be of help/necessary but if ya falling quickly and smaller things then weight/speed is an issue and would suggest a 066/660 would be more use and give ya higher production

Its more of a Tim the Tool Man Taylor thing... and the very occasional big and ugly felling job... at least that's my justification... Really an 066 with a 42" .404 chisel would do just about anything left standing in these parts, and I could still use it to limb with for an hour or three. An 880 with a 50"+ bar would be cool, but would I ever need it??? (then again who cares about need...)

 

[HuskStihl]

3120's and 880's leave the factory as slow 9K rpm torque machines. Making a 3120 fun requires a carb mod to install (yes install!) a high speed jet screw, getting rid of the limiter and preferably some port work. Then you have an absolute #####. But out of the box they are pure stumpers. I suspect due to EPA the 880 will be pretty much the same out of the box. I'd take the 066, but 700 is overbudget for me. Thus the $460 clean 394 (insert jokes here, the thing's a total badass, it can takea few jokes no problem):msp_biggrin:
