    The wording didn't sound right no matter how I put it. Just happy to have another unused 20" loop of LGX. I'm still turning my nose up at the Xcut chain, mainly due to price.

    Edit: Truck was 3 years old as of March. I'm positive it was transfered over from old blue and probably rode in it for 2-3 years. I do kinda have a thing where I have some 'backup' chains stashed around.

    Got the bank project wrapped up (ran out of materials). Looking pretty good honestly. Had to use my barrier fence again today. No helpers. Bought me a new $20 pair of river shoes because I couldn't locate my others. They're ok.

    This little saw impressed me quite a bit. I like it. Just did a couple quick trim cuts with it.

    Them: you're out of 3" rollers.
    Me: no, I'm not.

    Figured it would take me longer to get here but have been considering letting one of the reserve Makita units go. Would be nice to fund other things with the proceeds. Hmmm.

    Ya gotta love a Friday Victory. Had a few quirks to get past, but she's hitting on em all now. Customer abandoned unit last year. Asked shop fellers about it after seeing it sit. "Have never heard anything back from them, unsure what's wrong you can have it if you want it."

    My total monetary investment stands at $17.xx. These were $1700 new 10 years ago. Only 4000 watts but a rock solid unit. 120/240 simultaneous output. Even has electric start. Gotta make or purchase some sort of wheel kit. It's portly at 200lbs dry. Low oil wanring sensor does not work (was causing hot start issues). Needle output meter on panel does not work. I'll be fine without either.

    My Friday has begun on a good note. Hope to ride it all weekend long.
