@Kodiak Kid Weighing one of the 461s that's in the shop right now made me think of you. I know you're a fan of 90cc saws and IIRC, you don't really like 460/461s. Anyway, on the scale, the 461R is only a pound and some change lighter than my wrap handle 066(full of fuel/oil, the dry weight difference is likely less than that.) If we're only talking about a 1lb of weight, I'd probably choose my 066 or a 661 over the 461 for strictly a falling saw.
It gets a little more complicated when I throw in my "566i"...it's the same weight difference between it and the 461 as the 461 is to the 066...and with both being ported, I'm betting the 500 will take the 461s lunch money on power. The latest iteration of the 566i is a beast, I'm quite proud of how it turned out.
Weights, all wrap models with full fuel/oil:
500i: 16lb, 13.6oz
461R: 18lb, 2.0 oz
066: 19lb, 7.4oz

Come to think of it, the piston that's in my 500i shaved a 1/3 of an ounce over stock lol.
On a recent trip to our place in the mountains my son’s 80s 3/4 ton 4WD GMC wasn’t doing very well down in our clearing, driving on the ground the loader pulverized into powder over the summer. It wasn’t soupy mud, but he was sliding on it. At first he just couldn’t turn where he needed to, then it wouldn’t move at all. Putting chains on the front made it mobile again. This picture was taken three days later.
No, that is a cat being a cat.
Now I know what a Steiner is.
Thats the odd thing. I was on a 10day work stretch, all evening shifts. So I wasn't around hardly any people. Non of which were sick that I know of. Just one of those odd mysteries of life I guess.
I have a friend with a cabin in the mountains. Doesn't seem to matter if it's rain or snow, chains become a requirement just to get up the dirt lane to the cabin. Amazing how much they help traction.
For us the uphill is getting off the property.
Hi guys. Good day here.
Started off the morning with a basketball tournament and my girls went three and one in their games. Came home and met a friend and his wife to do some snowmobiling. There was a lot of slush on the lake, but we made it down to a restaurant for dinner and back safely.
Shift gears and went back to deboning and grinding wild hog. I cooked up some of it in a very basic breakfast sausage seasoning. It was tasty but very dry because the meat is so lean. I had pork butt on hand because I expected this so I ground all that up too. I have probably close to 40 pounds of ground pork in my fridge between hog and pig. Tomorrow morning I’m going to run to the market and and get some of their proprietary seasoning packages to make breakfast sausage and Italian sausage. May send some over to the original guy to make some brats as well.

On top of that, my dishwasher went out last week and is luckily under warranty, but like the guy was not able to make it here to the snowstorm. So I also did a couple large loads of dishes to attempt to catch up with everything. I’ve also been working on cast-iron restoration and continue to work through the pile of skillets I built up over the summer. After I get through everything that is in the lye tank, I’ll be caught up except for one skillet.
Here’s some of my recent work and some of the works in progress.

Looks like it hu? Like when you look in the mirror?
Only 8 pages? This thread has been moving faster than that lately.
Maybe it was something you ate?
