GA Boy the saw is in transit. It should be here this week. I told Simon on the frontside I was in no hurry. I got it shipped to him late.
I've been busier than I ever dreamed we'd be at this time of year, we've done quite a bit of storm clean up after the Joplin tornado.
I think it will be here by Friday, as soon as it does, it'll get videoed and I'll put the before and after vids up. We're looking forward to running it. I've been so dang tired the last couple of weeks when I hit the house, the last thing I want to do is mess with a saw after running one all day. The combination of heat and humidity has been a killer the last 3 or 4 days. My old azz is dragging big time.

POPS! Hell, I've felt more like great gramps the last few nights.lol I sure can tell I've lost a step in this dang 93 degree 99% humidity weather. I don't know how you young studs do it anymore. It's not the sawing that is eating me up, it's the loading, dragging limbs that is getting to me, just the basic groundie work. Thank goodness for front end loaders!

The more through it the better. If you can put 50 tanks through it that would be great. Then we can lean it out a tad. About an 1/8th on the High speed needle.I'm Working on that just Mixed 2.5 gals. non ethanol 93 octane/Stihl Ultra @ 40:1 both of my nephews have a bunch of Fire wood that needs blocking up, Should be able to run 5 tanks through this afternoon and tomorrow Morning, Hope fully then get 5 more tomorrow evening and Sunday Morning before Mass!!!!!!!

Glad to see yours arrived, mine should be here any day. I better call the local PO to see if the post mistresses is holding it.lol
It sure sounds like you like it, my parrot picked your saw to be in the top five, it's got to be a winner!
In the hay fields this week, I've have the wife keep an eye out for it.
