A few years ago I was on vacation in Tennessee. My Grandma has a cabin down there in the mountains near North Carolina. In her yard there were a few pine trees that fell. She asked me if I would cut them up for her. She had already cut up the small stuff with a cheap electric chainsaw. (Keep in mind she is 80 years old.) So, I was thinking oh great I’m going to be here all day with this POS working on this tree. Then she tells me that she has a gas chainsaw in the house. So we head to the house. She says in the bedroom closet there is a chainsaw in a case. (logical place to keep a chainsaw). So I go to the closet thinking I’m going to find a Homelite, Polan or a Craftsman. I drag the case out and open it up and inside is a MINT stihl 024 super. I almost fell over I was so surprised. I asked her when the last time it ran was and she said it had been a few years. So I dumped the gas and put fresh stuff in it. It fired up in about 4 pulls. I got that tree cut up in no time.
Then I asked her why she had such a nice saw. She said that she went to the local hardware store and asked then for a good saw. And that is what they sold her. She thinks that she bought it about 12 years ago. We ended up bringing the saw back to Michigan so I can use it. She said it is still hers but I can use it whenever I want. And that it’s mine when she is gone. It still cracks me up every time I see that saw.
