    Ever heard of a dude named Zeke Jones? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeke_Jones He was 1 year ahead of me in junior high and high school. I think he might have beat me up once in junior high? Actually, he was a very nice guy. Ann Arbor is famous for developing swimming/diving, wrestling and boxers. Weird combo from a very weird town.

    This is probably my favorite for right now. I've kept it almost 2 years now.

    If he does it will be one of those chinese ones in knock off stihl colors.

    Since he ignored you I guess he can't even see this post unless he does not log in?

    I think that one will still be more of a hot rod. Parts are in for the 044. :dremel:

    MS261 carbureted...made a good friend on this deal.:yes:(you know who you are)
    This one will most likely belong to one of my boys.
    This saw can do 99 percent of all my firewood duties, and does it very very well.

    Plan is in motion for an attitude adjustment this winter:dex:

    I can't pick just one... I guess it depends on the size of the wood!

    Really really nice collection. The wrap on that 357 is bad-A!
    Gotta like the guys that really use their stuff. Polishing is ok once in while, but running em is so much more fun:dex:
