    Help me understand this October chop

    Saw this on the way home. Magnolia I think but I could be wrong. October in New York... can a tree even survive this ... especially with winter coming up.

    How long has fried chicken and a waffle been a thing? When and Where did it start?

    Dudes and dudettes, How long has fried chicken and a waffle been a thing? When and Where did it start? And how come y'all didn't tell us Yankees abooot it? Gotta need some good gravy, or syrups or sauces on it I'm sure? Darn I'm hungry now

    New STIHL press release on Kombi

    I wish I'd gotten one of these a long time ago when they were priced a bit lower — $300 is a tough sell to the wife who hates leafblowers anyway ( I'll continue to muck along with my homeowner Blackened Pecker, I mean Black and Decker string trimmer until I get my old McCulloch trimmer fixed...

    If only they'd used 32, 40 or 50:1 mix in the first place ...

    This is not even a question of 32, 40 or 50:1 ... the ship was straight gassed. Del @deaves61 is excellent on boat (*cough I mean ship*) engines, too, I reckon he could fix it in half the time :)

    Heads-up; Pellet and Biomas Debate Heats up

    Heads-up. One can never be complacent. Here's an item of interest for biomass burners, and quite possibly all of us who burn wood -- the renewable energy claim is coming under scrutiny. What follows is a quote from an article dated 03.16.2016 in: at...

    Character tree pics, bring 'em on?

    Sure all trees have their own character, just that some have got a little something extra going on. This one is a solo tree between two buildings. One can sense its muscled gravitas when walking by. I'm not sure what type it is, need to re-look at the foliage when it returns in a month or two...

    Other Overpriced **** ... that'll make you feel less bad about CAD

    Anyone else got some overpriced **** out there? Mountain bikers are as addicted as sawyers with CAD. There's a level of gear that even a regular mountain biker is going to insist on. I'm convinced this stuff is priced to what the market will bear, not what it's worth or even what it's R&D costs...

    Oxidized Muffler Cover Nuts!

    OK, a lil bit OCD here but I hate things getting oxidized. With some of my other stuff, it's always zippers on board bags getting oxidized, fused, stuck and eventually broken or useless. Not a fate I want for my saw. What do you guys do / use to keep these parts from oxidizing/seizing.

    What Causes this?

    I've seen a little smoke after some cuts, and I'd say the saw is running kinda hot (though as a newb I don't have a frame of reference). Seems like an oily substance is leaking over the top of the muffler (see photo-right side of muffler top, and getting burnt, and also dripping down to the...

    Magnolia - bush or tree and trimming or pruning

    Hesitate to use the word prune, or even trim, but wife and I would like to nip this one back a little. Any thoughts or recommendations are gratefully appreciated. It's a wee bit unusual of a Magnolia as it has what appear to be 5 or 7 leaders and they all start low, almost like a bush...

    Husqy Exec named Lowe's CMO

    In the nothing with nothing category, don't know if this means that Husqy will become a bigger deal at Lowes but they now have closer ties according to the Charlotte Observer.

    Boomer Esiason goes Husqy ... no surprise, but what is it?

    Here's a link to a montage that Al Hughes "Dukes" put up on his twitter: Alsboringtweets I'm a big Al Dukes fan, dude is plain funny, and an even bigger Boomer fan. I missed that episode, but I'm guessing Carton got him the saw for Christmas. So why's he strangling Carton ... we'd all be...
