i'm fixin to find out what he can do with a 660. really I allways thought it was a turd. really expected it to be more.

randy tested my 660 against a 461 he did ,they were about neck and neck ,461 like 1 sec faster ,but he said could lean on the 660 more without a bog ,there's a thread somewhere with vid

Make a pumpkin carving video

I have trouble with video... can't get them off my phone... I've tried to take a few of some of the ceders I fell recently, one all I got was a still of a stihl next to a blurry finger and what looks like a tree? the other shows me starting the undercut, and then my phone takes a header off the stump and shuts itself off... I do have one on the phone that turned out ok other then I'm more klutsy than ussual... was taken the morning after I got out of the ER and was running about a quart low...just can't get the phone to speak with the pooter, I think they hate each other... or me?
