    Put some air in the tires and power steering fluid in old blue and she fired off straight away. It’s amazing how she can sit for months and fire right up ready to go

    Looks like a great day! I’d be asleep in the recliner by 9 if I were you:sleeping: Some good old fashioned labor sure can make for some great sleep. Congrats on the new saw. :saw:

    Well you're not a slacker for sure! Caffeine keeps me going too lol. Can't wait for the full report on the new saw & pics of flowers. We're a ways away from that yet.

    I’ve always wanted to try a 242. They sound like screaming little power houses.:)

    Man, wish I could get out of the here and cut/saw some wood, but recent surgery and the wife prevents that.But, I'll heal up and get after it eventually.I'm 99 percent Sure I could do it now, but, if my wife caught me, oh boy.I'd never hear the end of it.So,I'll bid my time and heal, wait a little longer, then get after it, lol I'm doing really well at this point, no sense in rocking the boat.But I just got the fire ging a while ago, that's a plus, " you have to crawl, before you can walk! " In my case, that is especially true, lol. "Later"

    I’ve had my fair share of injuries and mechanicals. It is grueling to have to stop and be still for a prescribed length of time. Hope you get back to action soon.

    Love it when the wife’s away. I do everything I can to clear the schedule for a good weekend of noting but wood cutting... well and beer drinking when it gets to dark!

    That would make them stop for sure. Maybe the next one will be frogs, chainsaw, silence
