[Lightning Performance]

Am I stupid with good ideas or or rightly intelligent with stupid ideas?

Is this the right road I'm on here or is this the wrong lane for me?

Help a mfer out, please

Bangs head on the pole repeatedly... thinks to self, wtf.

You know the feeling, right? The more you help the worse it gets. Then they start thinking, oh my...

 

[Lightning Performance]

right! i posted it up on 'post ur political jokes here!' thread... and asked:

hope this is not too political!!

Fox covered it well with what Gov Sanders said...

it is not an issue of R vs D's...

it is an issue of normal people and crazie peoples...

I'm not R or D so crazy it is

Posting reality should not be viewed as political.

50% of the population thought Biden was full of crap, and the other 50% are busy smoking the weed he and the Democrats have legalized!

Puff puff pass Mike. Shouldn't you be doing taxes until you drop by now?

Anyone burn Chinaberry?
It was my Grandmother in law’s favorite wood when cooking on a wood stove. We have a ton of it around here. Very evasive and fast growing. I hate the stuff, but guess where it came from?

 

[sean donato]

I'd burn it, but I'll burn about any wood..

I actually like flippy caps better than screw caps (they leak less and don't need tools), but I don't know why they designed them to only drop once every 360 degrees! If I were to design them, they would drop every 1/3 turn.

Also, with the smaller saw oil caps (like the 261) you have to be real careful not to fill the oil too much or you can't get the darn thing on! That is a real PITA!

That has not been my experience at all. I’ve never had a problem with old style sthil caps or husky caps leaking. I’ve had quite few sthil saws with flippy caps and they all have started leaking after about 3-4 weeks of full time use, even when kept clean. I have replaced them with new sthil oem caps, same thing. Any production faller I know has had same experience. And it’s almost impossible to remove them without junk falling in the tank unless you have access to an air compressor and I’m not packing one of those around, lol.
Glad they work well for you.

Had to Google it. Looks like it's in the mahogany family. What I found said it was a decent burning wood.

I replaced more Stihl flippy caps on chainsaws then all the rest put together as a lifetime user. That should some it up.

That's what the street rodders do. Then take it apart ten more times and update stuff repeatedly.
