    You can check it out next time you come. You can shop my yard! I'm going to have to make some room somehow.

    I'm not a fan of the high alcohol IPAs either. More of a pilsner and lager type of girl. I don't drink the big brands though.

    We want pics and video. Mebbe if you tip him a case of beer he'll let you work the boom!

    I've never had a 50cc, or larger saw. And 16in has done me well over the years. Let's say on average, 5cords a yeat.

    What saw do you have?

    My new buddy Shawn! I gave him the jalapeno cream ale I got yesterday. Hope he likes it. Those skinny beech logs from WeldrDave's came in handy. The lightning hit it three years ago, and they tried to cable it together. Think I deserve a bigger saw?

    That's a nice looking load! How many years ahead will this get you? Very glad this worked out for you! I'm thinking wait on the trailer and go for the bigger saw and a splitter. :yes:

    Yes, I won't need a trailer for awhile. My husband is all ready to go saw shopping today (he loves buying tools) but I think the place we would go is closed, and I'm babysitting today.

    Nice looking load Midwinter. Did he let you try the boom? I was kidding about the beer tip.
    Saw one like that at my dump unloading logs. :eek: Nifty little rig.
    I see a 250 in your future. I think that's a perfect saw for your needs. Just don't pick up the 261 when there. You will like it more, but $600+ saw.

    No, I didn't try the boom. He was only here for about 20 minutes. I think he appreciated the beer. He said he'd keep my number, but he doesn't take many jobs in Nashua. He said he's cutting a fair amount of dead ash up his way (Epsom NH).

    She can always cut and split then load the van and drive it around the block. Saved by a technicality!
