See a few around me that has or had some sort of flu or bad cold, gets bad when it gets down in the respiratory tract. Escaped it so far but winter is not over yet, far too many people cooped up inside for far too long during winter.

Goes right for the weal spot , me its lungs after all the crap I have had and 30 or more years of smoking . Sure wish I coulda quit them damn things many many years ago ! Only been 2 years , but I would stihl like to have one ! Just know for a fact I can't never touch another one ! Just like Danny said , been many years ago he quit , but stihl wouldn't mind having one . Can't never cheat even once !! All it takes , right back at it again ! Just what I did the other times I quit for a good while , even 4 months once ! Damn DUMAS I was ! LOL
 
I watched a good many try to kick that nasty addiction, it is an addiction and as such is very difficult to get off that drug that the body craves so severely. Only a couple of people managed to kick the addiction and stay away for good. Many tried, often with good results for periods of time but they would just try one at a bar or dance etc and then be right back on them again. Tobacco companies spent large fortunes figuring out what to put in them things to keep people addicted to them.

Philip Morris managed to grow it with stronger **** in it to get people more hooked on them . Out right lied till the paper work to prove it came out . They greased the right hands for many years to keep things going there way ! Finally starting to hurt them a little , but never put them out , way to much money stihl getting paid out to the right people . They should all be charged and put away for good for the crap they did ! Gov is making them pay , but only the gov gets the money , very very few got anything from that suit ! So its just the same as ever , money stihl going to the few in the government ! I better quit before I get myself real mad . LOL Such total BS all it is !

Nice skidder, ugly wood. Popple grew to very nice size around here, no one ever wasted fuel cutting them down unless they were in the way of getting worthwhile wood out of the woods. We had them over 36" dia at the stump and 45 - 50 feet of clear stem but never cut one of them down. They rot off at ground level and fall over, just leave em there to make woodpecker fodder.

Yep...Edward likes his Cats.....he has three of them and a feller/buncher......quite a dude Edward is ..... 61 years old...spent the first 50 drunk on his ear.....no steady woman..never had a car or paper work to drive one...or ever owned anything...dug enough clams to buy a little food and a lot of beer.....cut wood behind someone else's skidder in the winter......do day labor around construction sites...dig clams in the summer....year after year....we all figured he'd perish any time... He turned 50...quit drinking......has a nice wife...a nice remodeled farm house......all the afore mentioned equipment plus dozens of saws....a big diesel Dodge 4WD ton truck with a platform dump....2014 Cheby 3/4 ton 4wd...all paid for.......Edward has no payments out other than what he buys each month......he works as hard now as he drank back then....wide open.....he did this little job last Sunday afternoon....the one truckload out and fit for the truck and the other load still in the woods but down and winched together at the top of the rise ready to hit the landing as soon as the first load goes....

Yep ugly wood....but I was all over getting it gone for the same money as if it were maple,ash, or oak.....LOL!!!
 
Started installing the new combustor in my Resolute Acclaim today.....feeling better but not well......went slow.....pretty straight forward but took more stuff apart than necessary so I can understand how it all works.....knowing what I now know the job should take a couple hrs....I have 3.5 hrs. in it now and not back together.....but the combustor is in....
