since my trailer has failed me I am loading ..... Daily all my gear into my container and locking the door with my outrigger

life is so much more stressful after you get hit and it takes so much more of your time and energy for prevention. My total the last weeks with the trailer at 4300 and the saws and window at 1500 id $4800. It is a club nobody wants to join take my word for it. Never thought they would crash my window in my driveway.
 
Not sure what the situation is where you all live is but here the fundamental problem from my perspective and it covers over thirty years of observation locally...is Section 8 Housing moved to surburbia. Drugs are a byproduct of it. Huge luxury apartment complex and upper middle class houses and just about anything rentable has turned over so the owner gets guaranteed income at premium rates delivered on time monthly. The projects have moved here. Just last summer a well known owner of a pizza restaurant was gunned down in broad daylight with his wife and kids nearby and came out only to see him stagger into the front lawn and fall down dead while the thief walked off with a twenty or two. Lived section 8 nearby and new resident. Many similar stories since including the break ins and store windows crashed with large objects in grab and runs.

This is from a few minutes ago in that vicinity as it just began to rain and I am off til it stops. Garbage on corners and stores in next town over. It is appalling. They just throw it out the window and this NEVER happened a year or two ago. DSCF1225.JPG
 
Speaking of dogs look what a Boxer did to me today. It was the neighbors dog of a job we did today i walked out from the back yard and into the front yard and the fker come out of nowhere and latched on to me.

That is just awful. Sorry for you. How does it look on the other side on the forearm where we get the most use? Are you incapacitated for a while? You should make some big bucks on that if any consolation if they had any insurance or assets.

Anyway, all you dopes should know I would not get a sucky saw,, the T540xp is a great saw,,
Jeff

You'd be the one to harp til there was a pallet of the finest.

I don't know why guys just don't have the 200's rebuilt. Maybe the reliability?

I bought one a year from 04 to 06. Its just me using them, I swap them in and out, usually have two on me, right now the one from 04 sounds like it needs a carb for 150, I say do it for that even after it landed on concrete many years ago. Cost me around 400 in used plastic, old style gas tank on her now.

There seems to be guys around here who would rebuild the engine for you for 300 bucks. In fact, one guy has an exchange program but I stick to my own original purchased new gear.

One reason I hated working for large companies was that I would keep breaking down into tears, full tantrum, begging for a decent enough chainsaw... FOR ****'S SAKE! PLEASE! So I gots my very own, don't go nowhere with out them.

I bought all my saws, Stihl, right around then. You know me, I go places, do some work. Never had any of them worked on except wearable items and one needed a carb.

I bought them knowing there were fanatics out there to rebuild them nicely, I'd pay just about anything for that.

Sorry to see that. Hope you heal well with no complications. At a minimum the owners should cover your medical bills and destroy the dog. If they have money, go after them for lost wages, pain and suffering. Just realize, any decent lawyer you get will probably take a 30% cut of the settlement. Also, be patient, these things take time to settle when lawyers are involved. Good luck.
 
See I've only ran 395. When they are sharp they are bad ass. Ton of torque. For the life of me I don't understand why they made one with 5 cc less. But there's a frikin 385 too.

The 390 replaced the 385 which is not made any more. The 390 seems less bulky compared to 395. I have both and I love the 395 but I prefer the 390 hanging off my saddle rather than 395. Stihl makes a 650 and 660...... 6 cc difference. Why? Who knows.

When I first started in the biz I had a neighbor's 100 lb. shepherd charge me full bore. Quick thinking had me lock my legs together and lock my arms to my side and my hands locked to my body over my privies. He dove into my chest with nothing to grab and opened his mouth but couldn't get a bite. That has worked a few more times since then out jogging when charged, but prob. wouldn't try that on a pit or a grizzly, sort of the same animal.
 
Speaking of nasty things that bite. Pulled a tick off my sac this am. Think I got it all. Just thought I'd share.
U sure you didn't mistake it for your sac? You may want to headstone the ER. Sacs are important
