The progression of CAD. I'm sure I'll miss a few so you guys can help add what I missed.
Non contagious stages:
1) I have trees to cut so I need a saw.
2) The first saw I bought was too small so I need a bigger saw. Or I have a bucking saw and now I want a limbing saw saw or vice versa.
What happens after 2 usually means CAD has developed or will develop.
Potentially Contagious Stages:
3) My friend gave me an old saw and I'll see if I can get it running.
4) Feeling the need for a spare spare saw.
5) Feeling the need for more than a 4 saw plan.
6)Feeling the need for a ported saw.
6a)Attending GTGs in your local area.
Infected, with progression.
7)Looking for parts saws for all of your saws.
8)Acquiring any saw that is cheap or free.
8a)Traveling to adjacent states for GTGs.
9)Feeling the need to port all of your saws.
10)Searching out saws of other brands than what you currently own.
10a)Traveking across multiple states to attend GTG's
11)Dedicated milling saw even though you don't have any mill worthy logs.
12) Searching out saws due to their color scheme.
13)Feeling the need to own every saw in a series.
14)Dedicated spare milling saw
15)Racks on your garage walls to showcase your collection.
15a)Traveling by airline to attend far away GTG's
16)Multiple saws of every desirable model
17)Saws collection moved into the house (or if married) a dedicated saw display building.
