    Couldn't resist picking myself up this little early birthday present. Found another $200 single owner old man's firewood saw. Another diamond in the rough - gave it mostly the same treatment, except I used some diluted purple power to lube the sandpaper I used on the plastic. But it cold starts in 2 pulls and runs great.

    Besides, the 036 was getting lonely... :D

    Had a little birthday dinner at my folks last night, and my sister gave me these:

    Plus my dad dug out a couple of the attachments for my grandfather's old DeWalt RAS - a light, and a saber saw:

    Happy birthday Shawn Curry!
    Nice additions to the woodworking tools- you don't hear it called "saber" saw too often! Good grab on the Stihl, too.
    It's also good that you got some skidding tongs, and not skidded thongs!

    Happy Birthday. Nice lineup of cool birthday presents.
    Do you celebrate a birthday week and a birthday month too?
    Might want to consider that if you don't. I have run into friends
    that celebrate those and it seems more popular now.

    It was actually the 10th - same birthday as Chuck Norris... Coincidence? :rofl: :lol:

    I actually got the saw a couple weeks ago - during my pre-birthday warmup week... :D
