Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Backyard Lumberjack]

All I got done was swapping out some light bulbs to LED's. Yard light needs changing but probably wait for a dry day for that.

Light snow here should stop around 3am-ish. Had us in the 1-4" totals last I saw. Got close to 2" for sure. Temps started out above freezing but dropping slowly. Looks like New Years day will be our best shot at a dry day for awhile.

I'm partial to the "Crescent hammer".

LOL - in the US Marines... we would refer to it as 'field expediency!'

Better porting and coil are the only big differences. Carb is bigger but not enough to make a real difference. The rest is just unnecessary trinkets . Ported 590 is the same price or cheaper then a 620. That's what I would do. The full wrap is the only thing off the 620 I wish my 590 had.

The dawgs, the rim sprocket, and the mag cover(especially if it has the captive bar nuts) are what I would like, and a wrap would be great too. But being real I haven't used the ported 357 I have much even after selling the ported 361, at this stage in the game I use the 50's and jump right to the 70's. I would like a lightweight wrap, but the 462r should do all this at about the same weight, just need to mount up a lightweight 24" bar on it. Maybe I should sell the 357 too.

Yep, when the guys want something I have I try to get right back with them.

Goodnight buddy.

I'll probably go to the rim setup if the spur setup ever wares out. The mag clutch cover seems like it would just be added weight. Haven't managed to break the plastic one. I guess the captive bar nuts could be a bonus for some but not a necessity. All the upgraded stuff on the 620 is nice but none of it is necessary.

Mate you would be in all sorts if some one pulled in front of you and you had to stop in a hurry.

Like how you made sure the seat belt was on

I haven't yet but from what I've seen, I'd buy it over the cs590 all day long.

What’s the price on the 620? Certainly some benefits but a 590 at 325 bucks is a great deal on its own too.

Neither is porting.

It is a great deal, and for firewood most could have a great one saw plan with one, not that I'm promoting that .

When I neck size the brass I will use one of those 3 loads and the groups should shrink further.

Has anyone burnt Strawberry tree? I may get some wood tomorrow. bit of googling suggests its quite decent as firewood, related to Madrone which I know from SkillCult is a decent wood, What I really don't know is how it will split. I guess I'll find out.

 

[woodchip rookie]

Strawberry tree? Drop bears live in those? We dont have either
