    New member but have been tapping the vast knowledge of this and other sites for a while.

    Not much of social media guy but I really enjoy cutting wood and am becoming more obsessive/compulsive about chainsaws and I thought I would give this a shot.

    We don't have a lot of trees here in Elko, NV and I don't even have a wood stove. I just go cut and sell it, get some exercise and enjoy the fresh air. Once in a while the wife and kids come with and that makes it that much more enjoyable.

    Alas, I wanted to touch on the fact that I landed on an incredible deal on flea bay for a 2015 Husq 555. $460 to the door step. 24" bar and full comp 3/8 chain. Best of all never been fired. Really couldn't believe it when I received it. Will post pics this weekend.

    Welcome to the forum dawg. I must say you got an excellent deal on that 555. My own was a pretty darned good deal but still was over $500.
