    He likes to play with all daddies stuff.

    Yeaterday the saws caught his eye. Especially the grey one and the big stihl :) I think he liked the grey one cause it was smaller and had all the colorfull switches and things !!

    How does he do when you fire one up?

    My daughter hated it, ran far away. My son is the opposite, gets all excited. They usually are only around when I am dialing one in after repair, so no worries safety police, they are well supervised.

    He likes it and tries to go closer to me. Momma has to hold him. He points and wants down.

    The chain grinder upset him though? Maybe all the sparks shooting out?

    I bet he could get an easy start still like my parents new ms211c. It's almost too easy to pull over.

    He is growing up fast. . My daughter is only a little older than your boy, but my son is almost 14. I remember when he was that little. . Seemed like yesterday.

    Enjoy them while they are young. I only have a couple years left with my son. Once he can drive, Dad will take a back seat to girls and friends.

    Once you teach him how to stack then split he'll be ready to do some cutting
    He must be pretty fast , has racing stripes on his shorts :)

    Very nice pictures, I remember when my son was that age. He is 20 now and off in college. I miss those days with him.
