David's here, in full force I might add. Go back for the little Poulan, can't risk curing CAD. What would we do without you?
And yes, I got my mother's day present almost done. Took longer than expected.

I have an old Foley Belsaw grinder that works great, but I also use a Viking bar mount file guide.

Always used a Foley belsaw grinder, I tried hand filing and never looked back.

I freehand everything, if you slow down and really concentrate on what you want to get out of the chain it is very rewarding.

I've got some save edge square files coming to make race chains haha, all thanks to @fordf150

If you guys need Oregon chains or parts or tsumura bars, hit him up. Hella good guy to work with

Well about the flippy caps, my dad is 81, after seeing him not getting the gas cap not locked in correctly a few times and seeing gas dumped on him while cutting, not a pretty site. He's better off with screw on caps. Only time we have had problems with the screw on caps were either over tightening or sticking for being swollen up, which a new cap fixed the problem.

Well, what did everyone accomplish this wonderful (I hope) weekend? All I did was get some lawns mowed and not much else. I lament about not getting to use a saw, although I think I will probably get some good time in milling some logs up in the 2 weeks or so, got to get some other things accomplished first.

My wife killed a snake today. And I'm at work. Had a good workout yesterday and today was alright. That's about my excitement.

Well was hoping to runs some saws Saturday but ended up running the tractor all day, maybe next weekend we'll be cutting timber, pine beatles are back and got to get rid of them again.

Not tonight, passed out in the recliner last night around 10, was worn out. After being on the tractor til 6, had to put a water pump in my old Kia Sportage, got done after 9 then left my brothers and drove home. Ate supper and then fell asleep watching tv, woke up around 4 then made it to bed where I crashed again on top of it til 9. May turn in around 11:30 tonight, EST.

I had an eventful weekend,

On Saturday, I got a few saws ready to be sold, then had a guy from church come over with 7 saws he got at an auction, he paid $12.50 a piece. He sold them all to me. The nicest one is a McCulloch Super Pro 70. It will prolly be my "favorite saw of the week"...
Pics and vids on the way.

Today; went to church, packaged up 4 saws, cleaned/ repaired the SP70, went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant with Mom, sharpened a few chains, and went up to Grandma's house to visit for a while.

That about sums it all up.
