    Hey Gang,

    Some of you remember the "BIG A$$" maple I had to take down this past fall in my neighbors yard, well I finished the stump off finally :eek:. Just had to get to it because it was a promise!:)

    Anyway, it was a "BEAR"! but thanks to Master mech getting the 441 mag back in shape it went somewhat easy :whistle: yeah….. No splitting it, I just spent 4 hours noodling! I have curly "Q's" up to my…. :whistle: Oh, and did I mention it made it to a whopping 24* today! I actually like working in that temp!

    Good job done right there! I'm also impressed to see all the safety gear on as it should be. Not that YOU aren't always prepared.

    Nice work dave! You ever need something bigger than the 441 just holler :yes:. Oh and I enjoy working when temps are in the 20's too for some reason. No wind though! Once that dang wind starts blowin im out!

    Yea, I'm the same way, yesterday was "nice" actually! I don't mind the cold at all like that, no wind. But you are familiar with down here, it blows non-stop till June. Then want you need a day to cool off in July or August, you can't buy a breeze!:confused:

    Thanks for the offer on something bigger, I may take you up on that when I start cutting wood for the XL! :eek::rofl: :lol:… In honesty, I've never needed anything bigger, I cut for years with my little 021 and an old farm boss. I can't remember
    but I think my old Dad had a 031 "years" back we used. I think that saw is now a beer can somewhere. :eek::(
