Now that the cussing and discussing of the merits or demerits of various types of resizing have been winding down I feel the need to add my opinion to the fray. Whenever I have purchased a shirt from my neck size the arms have been way too long.
I'm getting buried ... Every time I go out to do a tax return I return home and 3 more have arrived! (Mail, e-mail, drop-off).
It's like swimming against the tide!

Got the dead red oak all chunked up, Busting it now.
Cut the dead oak to 14” for the solo stove, That stack sure looks purdy!
That stack ain't finished, awful lot of t-post sticking up there. Just kiddin', lookin' good.
Well boys, I pick up the vw tdi Monday after work. Then thats a done deal.
Ran to the mill and got some feed this morning , came back hom3 and the wife said it was time for a Sam's club run... 2 heaping full carts and a $875.00 bill later we were back home with sticker shock. Still need to run out later and get a few other grocery items we don't need in bulk. Good news the pantry is fully stocked and we (like normal) got a few unneeded items, but the kids liked the big container of peanut m&ms and bad of Easter egg peanut butter cups. Last year that trip would have been less then half what today's trip was. Oh well, need to eat and those trips are pretty infrequent. Gotta get my arse in gear and get the boys floor finished now.

It’s a 1 million acre foot capacity Reservoir, and came up 14.4 feet in the last day. I got that from one of my trail volunteers that works at the hydroelectric facility below the dam.
Here ya go!I recently splits some rounds of Red and White Oak that I had cut from the log yard last Fall. It was laying down the hill by my wood pile waiting to be split. Surprised to find it had all gotten punky in that short of time. Even the White Oak!. Didn't know it could go bad that quick. And it was solid and heavy when cut.
Stacked it in a side stack outside the main pile so I can move it later this Summer into the covered patio to burn this Winter.

That's what I'm talking about!
‘Lake’ at end of my alley has taken on a strange, paleontological profile. If there is a similar one on the next block, I am calling Sam Neil, Laura Dern, etc.

The lake inflow was at 2,500 cfs the day before the rain.
This is the same river we do volunteer trail maintenance on over the winter. Last winter we did 10 trips November to April, this year we did one regular trip, two removing rocks and trees from the access road, and one backpacking to the trailhead from a big rockslide, then working the first 3 miles of the trail. They closed the gate at the beginning of the 8 mile dirt road a few days ago, storms brought even more slides and washouts. Realistically we probably won’t get back in there until the fall. We end in early April, because it’s too hot in that exposed canyon after that. For us volunteers anyway.
Kinda looks like a giant zig-zagging Grizzly Bear track! ROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Run to safety. Spray grease behind you. Lock n load. Most importantly pray hard.

A little more modding on the 543 clone saw...this time on the muffler:
...and finally did some test cuts with it, doing some storm clean up on a small cedar that broke. I'm still having issues with it, occasional popping...my gasket fix might be starting to leak again. The popping makes me think that the timing is too advanced, so I might look at that. It otherwise runs well, but it's not as strong as I was hoping...it probably runs better than if it had a stock cylinder, but I'd expect better out of porting/machine work.
Not a direction comparison, but I did run my top handle 201 as well...I need to do some cookie-cutting races between the 2, but the 201 feels pretty fast. It's a build that I did awhile back...the usual exhaust mods, porting, machine work, etc.
