    First day off ( besides Sunday's) since April first was today. I mowed 12 yards, talked to the parents for a while, (planned the mowing route where they were the last house), shot the chit with my auto mechanic for a couple hours, and now it's cold beer and dog petting time.

    Tim, crp here basically means you can only bushhog once per year to keep saplings at bay. No hillside or slope requirements since most of Indiana is flat as a board anyway. You don't get rich doing it, but it basically makes property tax non existent in that section of ground.

    Thanks! It's been a few years since I've checked their website. I can get it in Hudson, like 10 minutes away, but its race gas, too much $ for my needs.

    One just popped up in Windham very recently. I'll have to check it out, I just drove by it today, but had no idea.

    Yup. Nice ride, though. I find myself up in the Lakes region, multiple times a year. So, my 5 gal gas can comes other me when time for a refill.

    My angry voice has been listened to. I MADE them order some stihl hats so I could buy some. I even threatened to go to the competition to buy some hats if they wouldn't order them.
    All I heard was "these won't sell!"

    Guess what.....can't keep em on the shelves :)

    My first 3 selections.

    Sort of like what they told Henry Ford. Nice, but it won't sell. Ha!

    So this ^ ^ ^ happened today...not a bad class...was given by a Stihl rep from the main Stihl regional distributor in Cinncinnati Oh.
    Was not a Saturday morning Home Depot type class, but still pretty much "chainsaw 101"...did pick up a couple bits of info I guess...free donuts...and paid, so what the heck! :thumbs:

    Just be aware of 2 things. 1. Any even semi modern equipment is ok to use e10. And 2, even if the station says they have e free gas, it doesn't mean that it actually is e free. If the tanker that is delivering has e10 in it, they have to take it.
