    We all could do with a wife like this!

    She did have paint on some surfaces that are supposed to be sealed though!

    We all could do with a wife like this!

    I had to watch it after all this. Usually I think I’m pretty good at spotting fakes on YouTube. And this seems legit. Like someone said earlier just the way she is handling the tools says a lot.

    People don't yet take battery operated chainsaws seriously.

    I’m going to start by saying I’m a huge fan of 2 strokes but (not sure if it’s been said already) I could see where a battery powered saw would be handy. Working on hunting properties come to mind. Not as loud and maybe a little less intrusive when you’re trying to stay a bit quieter so you...

    Mixed gas anxiety

    If I have to fill up a jug and forgot to add oil beforehand I’ll fill up the jug then turn the spout so it’s facing the opposite direction I.e. over your handle on top. Then when I grab it I immediately can tell something’s not right. Add oil then put the spout in the correct orientation...

    husky cuts 2-3" sideways, then binds

    Is it possible there is something making contact with the chain on the saw? I had an echo that did this. Chain brake mounting screws would loosen up and Let the brake slip off the clutch drum. Then one side of cutters would hit the brake band, get dull and cut crooked in a log. Worth a check.

    Unique chain design

    When I overfill I find the flippy will not properly close. Won’t break. Just won’t lock in place. The lock will engage on the cap but it will push itself out of the reservoir. I have to pour out a little oil then clean the area and usually it will then close. Haven’t had one leak on my pants but...

    It's starting - New California law bans ...

    Anyone have a petition or something to stop this? I think the only way would be to make an uproar about it

    It's starting - New California law bans ...

    If I didn’t have access to a gas powered water pump during these fires I would’ve lost my home along with many others. If I didn’t have a gas powered generator after the fire I wouldn’t have been able to stay at my house protecting it from flare ups. We had a water pump on the back of a trailer...

    462 Will modding oil flow void warranty?

    What are you cutting? I’ve found the 28” in Doug fir is a little much for it. Works good with the 20” though...

    Removing big stump

    I feel like it’s relatively common to have a big old stump like that still around. But I would think there would be some rot at least? Anyway you can burn it? If it’s been dead that long maybe it can burn out decent. Be a different story if it was freshly cut.

    Open mouth "angry" bear

    I really like that one! A different take on a well known classic

    Guacamole Recipe

    Yes sir. Didn’t mean to reply to your post earlier though. Don’t take that as me saying what’s good and what’s not!

    Guacamole Recipe

    Honestly all the guac I’ve ever made and how my mom/aunts would make is super simple. Avocado, diced tomato, diced onion, lemon, salt, jalapeño if you want it, cilantro. And bam. Delicious. I like to mash the avocado with the salt and lemon then gently fold in the other ingredients. Taste for...

    Best fuel cans

    Another big fan of the no spill brand. Haven’t had mine leak and very easy to control flow

    Getting new well tanks - anything I should add?

    I could see snow up on mt Hamilton today. So yes it can get cold but not for extended amounts of time

    Getting new well tanks - anything I should add?

    If you hadn’t bought them already I’d still go with gate valves. Not ball valves. Although I’m sure the ball valves would work fine. Oh and around me it’s so damn rocky and steep that instead of a trencher we usually use an excavator. Makes a wider trench so more dirt to move but easier when you...

    Getting new well tanks - anything I should add?

    Don’t know if it’s been said but spend the money on some quality brass gate valves! Those pvc ball valves are crap and have been known to have the handles snap off (ask me how I know) also they can be a bear to turn on some higher pressure stuff which wouldn’t affect you necessarily but they...

    Did I permanently destroy my MS250?

    I’ll buy that fancy new chainsaw radiator though if you want to get rid of it!

    Did Oregon discontinue pro-lite bars?

    I had sent an email to Oregon and they did verify that the versacut is the replacement for the pro lite model. I would imagine your backyard customers wouldn’t mind it as it’s pretty inexpensive and probably would handle occasional use just fine.

    Did Oregon discontinue pro-lite bars?

    I know they make some very high quality glues/epoxies but I just decided to buy a stihl bar. Less than 100 for the bar and chain at my local dealer who I’m happy to support. Neighbor loves it too so win win.
