Had a coworker ask me to repair his snow thrower and only charged a tiny fee for the part. He said I charge too little I said well your a good friend and he said I got your back. Next day we met up to work on an atm and he said look in my truck i got something for you. I said you dont have to do that he said stfu and go look before I change my mind. Ok.... he gave me this. I didn't run he said, but if I could get it runnin I could have it. Just had old fuel jellied in carb n filter. Cleaning and new filter runs like new. Nice saw. Charlie is the man!
Pretty cool gesture. I had a coworker give me a 011 Stihl a few years ago. It needed a fuel system tune up, then was good to go. He just didn't want to mess with it anymore and went battery powered.
Is that a 290? Owned one for ten years. Cant say anything bad about it. Sounds like you are great friends!
Sweet man! I tell you battery powered products have come such a long way w lithium battery tech. I still on fence when it comes to commercial equipment powered w batteries. Just too expensive to keep up equipment to stay competitive. A company finds itself spending thousands on batteries every other year. Still takes fossil fuels or nuclear power to charge all these darn things when the wind dont blw. Lol
Yes. I had to rub my good eye n stiffn me upper lip n look again. Charlie and I even tho hes alot older than I, are very fond of each other. Hes a retired Capitol policeman, served in the army worked for many years in dc. He serves as our guard. Hes like family.
That's such an unfortunate situation we find our nation's people in way to often isnt it. It sucks but there are 4 great people for every bad person so it ain't all downhill I hope.
You are right. The good people get overlooked. That's why we all love this place, we celebrate the good people!!
I don't know why but.... First you say about charging to little.... Then about going to work on a ATM... I guess I wasn't expecting the saw to be what he had in the truck !!
Nice saw. I have one myself and it is more or less my go to saw. I have many saws and some are probably a better choice but for some reason I just can't stay away from it. Probably because I loved my 028 super and this was it's replacement. Not liked as much as the 028 but a great firewood saw.
