    Getting ready to clean up the piles of Black Locust logs hanging around the property. This should be fun.


    Where’s the wood?

    Figured the pile and twisted logs were sloppy enough to pop loose. Nope, needed a sledge hammer to break the ice.

    Looking at this last pic I remembered I need a pole for mommas washline. The last one I dropped just may work. This stuff came from a twisty tree grove, might be the straightest in the bunch. I’ll set it aside. Good thing my 550 didn’t start or I would have cut it up.
    Have one 550 that’s going to the shop tomorrow. Not getting fuel to the primer bulb. Yes I know I could fix it myself if I wanted just not in the mood. Besides I want to try a new to me dealer in the area, see if they’re any good. Very hard to find good service in my area.
    The 550 I’ve been using starts cold but is a pain to start after sitting a bit but still warm. This started when I put a new plug in it from China. I’ll grab a new NGK from the dealer and if that doesn’t fix it they can have that saw when I pick up the first.
    it’s tough on the saws running short stints and then waiting to bring another log in. Easier on me tho. May have to put he 20” bar on the 462 and cut poles with that for awhile.

    That will be a super pen, right there.
    Hope your new dealer is a good place and treats you right.

    No fear and no brains is a bad combo ;) Hopefully with time she will develop the brains.
    I think Brad has his own playpen to drool over now. He may need to up his game to keep up LOL. That’s a good thing.
