    All that I had split up. Now I'm bored I can't go cut any. Can't get to any that is cut already to split and certainly can't haul any.

    I don't like stacking it's my least favorite thing to do so it has to be bad to be wanting to stack wood.

    Saws are clean I have one the chain just needs a quick touch up been saving that for when I just can't stand sitting around waiting anymore which will prob be today.

    I just remembered I do have one chain from using in the fall that needs a good sharpening. Hot damm things are looking up. It's sad I guess looking forward to sharpening a chain.

    This time of year is when I cut a lot but now I inow what cabin fever really feels like ugh

    I have been thinking about buying another saw a ms362 but it's going to be hard convincing wife I need one when I have a new one already that I haven't even used yet

    I know exactly how you feel! I wanted to cut wood these last couple of weeks and for various reasons, snow and wind included, I haven't. Hopefully you'll be able to get out soon.

    I definitely know how you feel and I live in the NE.
    I'm not really sure when the next time will be I see
    the ground at my cutting area. I have about 6 cords
    of uncut logs there buried under 3 ft of snow.

    I generally like to get to the logs in early March but
    I'm thinking it may be more like April this year.

    Cabin fever 10 fold this year. :hair:

    The 362 is a fantastic saw! I've only used mine a couple of times, but it's a little tree eating machine. I'm only using a 16" bar on mine and it just sings with it. You really need one!

    Yep, getting a little old not being able to get out and do any wood at all. If bored, these are good time to do a deep clean on the saw - pop flywheel cover and clean fins, lube spring housing, clean out coil and flywheel, remove clutch and clean, lube cage bearing, pop muffler and clean/remove any carbon from port, drain and clean gas and oil tanks - and on and on. Passes the time and is fun. I have lots and lots of junker saws, weedeaters, blowers, etc. and these are times I just grab one and tinker as well. Of course, I still have a mile long list of things the wife wants me to get done in the house........but, you've got to have priorities! Cheers!

    You hang in there, brother. When summer is here, you'll be thinking how wise it was that you were laid up during the colder months. Is "Ellen" showing re-runs yet?? :p

    I'm thinking the 362 may get more use than the 461. I'll be saving the 461 and 661 for the really big an mean stuff...
