I seem to detect less enthusiasm for my plan than was exhibited for the BIL saw. Nobody loves me, I think I'll go to bed and cry. JR
Whatcha talkin' about? I'm very excited about the 090!:greenchainsaw:

Wow!! Just read the pages to catch up. You guys are over the top!!!!! This makes me feel proud to be a member of AS. I usually read as much on here as I can for the knowledge. My brother is to blame for me getting this CAD. He is light years ahead of me on saws and I have learned so much from you guys, I am getting so he is not talking over my head all the time. I wish there was a way to repay you guys other then just saying thanks. If I ever get a chance to meet you guys in person I will buy the Cigar and smokes.
My brother walked me through putting 7900 update on 64001 last week and made me do it most of it. It went well and I told him I have learned more then I thought from AS. There are so many of you guys on here that affect peoples lives on a daily basis with your knowledge and you don't even know it. Again thanks and I can't wait to meet such great people someday.

Lol you sold that 07s I thought you would keep it forever lmao. I remember when I could have bought a garage full of old mall saws for what one small pro saw costs now.
I wondered if Brad would post he sold the 07s I wasn't going to say anything until he did. I'm glad he got the 090
I was thinking it would be fun to have a old saw running at the GTG. :chainsawguy:

can he now post?
Ummmmmmmm, I haven't yet warned Pat of....CAD. It is on my short list, but I thought I'd give him the news on that at some point, letting him enjoy the new saw first. Of course, he might figure it out on his own here. Wonder whether he'll blame me??? My sister will for sure, but she's a trooper.
He has a dial-up [slow] ISP so will probably have to take the entire thread in stages.
He told me last night that he thinks it'll be as late as this evening [Friday] before he's allowed to post, as the notice he got said it could take 24 hr. and he didn't register til after he got the saw, which was what, 6 p.m. yesterday I think.

Did he fire it up yet? Shoot! I know what I forgot! I should have included a 6-pack of Stihl Ultra
Hi, everyone. SteveH here. Pat is leaving town to visit with his son and grandkids. He didn't want to leave town without contacting you with thanks, and was still unable to post though he kept trying. I am copying here his email to me including the message he wanted to post here.
Stephen, Could you do me a big favor and forward a message to the arborist site for me? Either there is a waiting period or I am just too computer ignorant to push the right button. I’ve been able to read the messages but when I try to reply I get nowhere. Frustrating to say the least. These people deserve a thank you and I hate to leave them waiting. I tried again this morning and the same result. Unfortunately,as slow a typer as I am, it takes me forever and then the message doesn’t go through. I’m planning to go visit the grandkids today, but I don’t want to go until I know they’ve received a response from me.
Could you please forward this on to the site for me.
My name is Pat. I’m finding out that some of you know me as the brother-in-law. I not only owe, but am lucky to owe, incredible “thankyou’s” to people I don’t even know.
I received a package last evening with a Stihl chainsaw, chaps and chains. To say that I am overwhelmed would be an Understatement. It’s really hard for me to put down in words how impressed I am. I had to remain focused as my eyes got a little misty reading the accompanying note (Good thing my wife was in Michigan on vacation).
I called my brother-in-law, Stephen, knowing he had to have dealings in this, He told me how this has been an ongoing topic and project for a while. He said he couldn’t tell me how many people, or from where, were involved.
Man, I am just dumbfounded with this whole deal.
For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about, I’m sure I sound like a rambling lunatic. OK, so I am that, too. I had a chainsaw damaged through an unfortunate incident while cutting a tree at my mother-in-law’s home. Obviously, word reached your forum and many (some, a few, all, heck I don’t know) of you had my saw replaced……and then some.
To everyone involved in this, I can promise you. Just because the chainsaw stopped at my house, does not mean that your Goodwill does as well. Often times I’m able to help friends and relatives with my saw. (Now, I’ll finish cutting my mother-in-law’s tree). This new saw will now carry that on. Your good deed will continue on and on and I’ll always relate the story of the saw to them.
Thank you all very much. I am amazed.
This now brings up a new perspective I must address. Having watched horror movies like “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, I always thought we were supposed to run away from people wielding chainsaws. Should I really now be running towards them. They seem Awfully nice to me.
P.S. I may need a sleeping bag and a six pack before I can read all of the related messages. I have cranked up the saw and it runs
Like a scalded dog.
