Funny how as time goes by, life changes, and you can tend to change directions. 
At one point I had nearly 125 chainsaws in all different states of repair. About half of them actually ran and would cut wood. Most were parts saws, that were purchased for a certain part to cannibalize to make another saw of the same make and model run. I started unloading the parts saws about 5 years ago. Then some of the runners started going away as well.
Last week I sold the last of the running saws I wanted to get rid of. An 028 Super. Sad to see it go, as it was a good little saw... but my focus is no longer on chain saws. It's on my other hobbies. Hunting, fishing, and building hot rods. My new wife and I enjoy all 3 of those hobbies together. Sorry I never listed any on here for sale. I just didn't want to bother with shipping that many saws.
The only saws I have left are my Stihl 044, the Homelite 770G, and a McCulloch Super 250 that is still in pieces awaiting a rebuild/restore. It will be the last saw I rebuild for fun. I do have a 1920's drag saw that was my granfathers that I have to restore one of these days... but technically it's not a chainsaw. These are the only saws I'm going to keep. The 044 will need a top end rebuild soon... as it's got a gazillion BF of timber behind it. It's my primary saw for pretty much all my needs.
JJ... if you read this... I have some more 1/2" chain I would like to send to you. It's chipper chain. I know it's not the more desireable chisel... but hell... it's still 1/2" chain. I am clearing out my shop, so I can start another hot rod for a friend. Another pro street truck... then after that's done, the wife and I have to move into a smaller place until we find exactly what we need. The new place just isn't working out as we would have hoped. I can get the Super 250 up and running after the move. Let me know if you're interested in the chain.
Next year we will be on the road a lot. 2 trips to Yellowstone for camping, an elk hunt in Idaho, and possibly a moose hunt in BC. We are enjoying lots of salmon fishing, crabbing, and oysters in the PNW right now.
Anyhoo... hope this finds all of my AS buddies in good health and in good spirits on this 4th of July day. I may be out of the saw game for the most part... but I still lurk about in the shadows here and there.
