How to deal with the look

[puds]

Little info about myself before I get to my question.I just moved back to the country life this fall and I knew I need a wood burner to heat my house because it would cost me about 4000 in propane to heat it.So with my brothers help[he is a long time wood burner] I installed a wood burner.Now I always gave my brother a hard time about having 3 saws to cut fire wood.I figured why not just one. So told my have to buy a saw and she said aboustly. Picked up a 361 and started cutting. Well after a month I started getting this weird itch.So I searched the internet for help. Well I ended up finding this site and I thougt man these guys can probley help me get rid of this weird itch. This did not happen you guys were no help you only made it worse. So know I need you guys to tell what to do when the wife gives me the look when my fourth saw {which is a new dolmar 7900} comes tomarrow.

[husker80]

Tell her its cheaper than a Krack addiction.:greenchainsaw:

 

[Nuzzy]

Just don't look directly at her!! And also have 2 escape paths planned out for when you have to drop the saw and run

 

[hoss]

Tell her that the colors of the dolmar match the colors of the outfit you just bought her.

Just don't look directly at her!! And also have 2 escape paths planned out for when you have to drop the saw and run

ahahhahaha two escape paths. Id recommend a credit card to the left and something shiny to the right but if she kicks back well you shouldn't have been there

 

[CharlieG]

Don't drop the saw....that'swhy your in trouble to begin with!!

 

[puds]

I think I will tell her it is cheaper then a 3000 dollar wood splitter.{she won't know that there are plenty cheaper splitters then that}

 

[turbo]

Just ask her if she likes a warm house, if that dosent work go with the jewls!!!

So you have a 361, I thought that was the end all be all saw. It is the perfect size and needs no partners:spam:

So what is the stable so far?
MS 361
7900
??
??

I mean if one of the question marks is an MS 441/440 or 372xp/575xp it's going to be a lot harder to come up with something plausable. If they are a ms 180 and ms 260 sized saws then we can work on the bigger trees need a bigger saw type mentality.:greenchainsaw:

Good luck. It was good knowing ya!

Just don't bring saws home when she's around.

This is how I ended up with four saws.Bought 361 from brother. Then my friend wants to sell almost brand new 390 for 300. I couldn't't pass that up to good of deal.Then I decided I need a bigger saw for the big oak I have been cutting. I buy 440 off e-bay and a 460 just tp see which one I like better. I liked the 440 so I sold the 460 for what I paid for it. Then I stumble upon a dolmar 7900 brand new for 500 dollars. This is when I discover I have the disease and I buy 7900 just to see if I like it better then the 440. My cousin just called and told me he will buy my 440 if I sell it. The 390 is going on Craig's list tomorrow. As far as 361 being the end all saw. If I could only have one that's the one.

Consider yourself lucky

If all you're getting is a look than I would think you still have some leeway.

It's hard dealing with " THE LOOK "

I've seen it when my friends got it.
Fortunately I never get it from my wife. Every saw I buy is for the business.

Although I have gotten some stares when she saw the receipts for some of the climbing gear and rigging. She asked me ONE time " How many ropes do you need ? "

I said (truthfully) at least 8. And we haven't discussed that again.

Well I have found long stem roses are the answer. I can't own one saw. I need more saws and started modding them to get the best power to weight ratio and make them louder. I like taking a basket case and bringing it back to life the most. The first pop after all the hard work is the sweetest sound there is.

OK here’s what you need to do....... go out with your buddies every night this week and come home about 3:30 or 4:00 every morning drunk and falling down. When she sees the alternative she might just buy that saw for you. Their are worse addictions ya know.

Or you could just hide it in the garage and tell her you found it in the woods on your next trip.

Or you could just try my method and tell her you bought another saw, when she asks if you really needed it just say no but I make the money around here and I'll spend it any way I damn well...................hold on............... what’s that honey, oh YES DEAR be right there.

Oh BTW learn that last phrase real well........ YES DEAR

Get bigger barn and fill it with other unnecessary items(cars, trucks, boats, etc.) so the the enormous collection of saws blend in. It is not a collection until ladders are needed.
