First off goodonya for helping those in need and less able than yourself. I too have more wood this year than ever before, due to a neighbor who has a bad heart and cannot thin or clean up his own property. I am thinning his place for him, and in exchange he gave me his Husky 61, which is one of my fav saws. I get to keep all of the firewood, and so far have barely made a dent in the 40 acres of pine and oak. I will be turning 71 in a couple of weeks, and I believe working hard all my life is what keeps me healthy. Most of my friends my age have died off in the last 10 years. It is a great way to spend a day with my dogs, cutting and hauling. We get to see deer and turkeys, and an occasional elk while hauling. A real bonus is those winter fires, burning the slash piles and enjoying the outdoors. The Lord has been real good to me and mine. This is a great site for saw enthusiasts, and I have really learned a lot here. I have had saws for over 40 years, and never knew how to maintain them properly or even that there was different size and pitch of chain until I started visiting this site. May GOD bless you all.
Well done sir, you are definitely thinking the right way, getting outside, helping out your neighbor. :msp_thumbup: Our bodies were created to work, and when it's done in moderation the body will continue to work well for "a long time". Getting outside and cutting firewood is one of my favorite ways to "work". Thanks for the post.
Work safe. :msp_thumbsup:
