    Thanks Dex!

    I honestly had never heard the term "pellet heads" until I started checking out this forum...

    I think I'm gonna like it here.

    I thought you might..

    I have been dealing with you for awhile (several months now) and I don't like to "push" or "pimp" our place. But we do have some of the best people in the world here... So I had to tell you.. Because you are one of those "Best" people. . .

    Just sayin... ;)

    "Heat" off of the pelletheads . . . I see what you did there!!!!!

    The interesting thing about the 070/090 beasts . . . in terms of beating someone else's saw . . . is that what they lack in manageable weight they make up for with mind-numbingly slow speed! I can't be sure, but I think I once dozed off cutting through a piece of 40" oak with an 090 - would happen more often if they weren't so damm loud!

    As with many aspects of my life I try to keep my beer drinking local. That said, it's from a local microbrewery called Sun King, and this particular beer is called One Track Mind (http://www.sunkingbrewing.com/one-track-mind.html). I always say that I'm an 'equal opportunity beer drinker' because I'll essentially drink anything from a can of Stroh's or Boxer to high end bottles & drafts. I do love craft beers though - and local to wherever I'm sitting at any particular time is as good as it gets.

    I see your liking of, and affiliation with Sam Adams there in your signature. I had a couple of growlers filled at a small brewer in your region a few years back called Cape Cod Brewing Company, I believe. SA makes some very find beers as well; lived in Webster, MA, for about a year (many years ago) and had my fair share of their brews while in the area.

    Cheers!

    Have you had any 3Floyd's beer? If you're from IN and like beer I'm sure you have, but I didn't know about them until recently. I haven't had a bad one, but Alpha King and Zombie Dust are probably my favorites.

    4 090's....really? :whistle::loco: :crazy::yes::saw:

    Three Floyd's definitely makes some good stuff. I would have to agree on the Alpha King, it's my favorite of their non-seasonals. Seems everybody makes a big deal around here about the Gumball Head, but I'm not a fan.

    Yeah, four 090s is a little overboard, but after I got the first one it just seemed prudent to get one of each version. Not sure my wife agrees :D
