Just thought I'd update this (holy necrobump, batman) My little man has kinda grown up on me. Real proud of this guy and how far he's come losing weight and getting himself in better shape than I've ever been in. Before Pic below. Still have the 290 but don't use it much because we don't burn...

That's very cool. :D

That's very humbling and a scary reminder of the dangers of cutting. I'm glad you're well. Stay safe.

I think that's what they grind up to make grits, right? :D

Again, did you read my post? :laugh: I underlined the pertinent part for you. (that's sarcasm if you still don't get it) :biggrinbounce2:

Actually, that's exactly what you're doing by making assumptions. You did the same thing with the post I was referring to. And ironically enough you've made a comparison similar to the one you were scoffing at earlier. There's a HUGE difference between using, say, Husky oil in a Stihl and...

You seem to have a hard time with reading comprehension, dontcha? :cheers: If you read my post I was explaining my take on another misunderstood post, not drawing any conclusions. I did that on page 1. :D And yes, my opinion is that using anything other than the manufacturers recommended...

I didn't get that comparison at all. What I got was that he was comparing the mentality that some people have of spending a lot money on something then treating it like junk by not caring for it properly. And good chainsaws are expensive.

I don't have to prove anything. It's just common sense not to use an inferior product in an expensive machine in an attempt to save a couple bucks when there is something better available. I have a brand new Stihl and the 7 bucks for a gallon the dealer has is cheap insurance imo. And how do...

Okay, as many pointed out standard B&C oil isn't biodegradable. It's still a bad idea to use used motor oil imo. I find it interesting that as many posters seem interested in debating an oversight on my part as there are convincing this guy that using used motor oil for their bar and chain...

Never ever do that no matter how many old timers tell you to. Reasons? You'll burn up your bar and chain sooner. Bar and chain oil is biodegradable so you're not slinging toxic oil everywhere. And while we're talking about slinging oil bar and chain oil sticks to your chain better because...

It's supposed to prevent downdraft if designed properly.

Back in the late 80's my Dad and I used to sell block ends from the sawmill he worked at. He sold for something like 25 dollars per half ton truck load. We deliver a truck load for this imbecile that stacks it up tight and calls back wanting us to bring more because it didn't add up to the...

I signed up over there about a year and a half ago. They seem cliquey but the reason I quit going there is because the site is a nightmare to navigate. I didn't stick around long enough to get a feel for the members. Then I found AS so I really don't have a reason to go there now. :)

I hear ya. A couple years ago I was test driving new vehicles and my wife saw a dodge caravan she really liked. I popped the hood first thing and noticed it was a four cylinder - no f-ing way! The dealer said the four bangers have every bit as much power as the sixs and my wife is standing there...

That's great! I bet your sis is proud to show that off in her home.

I wouldn't have quoted such an old post but I checked your profile and see that you still come around. Beautiful bench! And that joinery you used blows my mind. I've been a custom cabinetmaker for almost two decades and that is among the best joinery I've seen. I do have one thing that you...

A few years back I was building a storage building on my place and the neighbor strolled over and asked if he could borrow the brand new skillsaw I'd just bought when I was done working for the day. He promised he'd bring it back the next morning. Next morning I finally went over to find he'd...

I'm so glad the morality police is here to make sure we visit our neighbors often, don't spend too much time on the internet, and never end our sentences with a preposition. :bowdown:

I'm going to try to navigate around your absurd post and address the one semi-coherent thought you had. The problem I had are people that think we all should get to listen to their damn rap music at approx 200 decibels all hours of the night. And people that have "visitors" coming in at all...
