Are you going to get that fixed later? You'll probably have disc problems with that as you age...I know from experience.

I'm 58, had two back operations in the 92 and 93. Now my back doesn't bother me at all other than normal soreness from labor. I can't bend over to amount to anything. It finally just locked up. I do a lot of work on my knees. But, it doesn't hurt.

To give you an idea of what I'm talikg about my mother had a cat scan on her back when she was about 90 and the doctor called some of the others in to look at it. There are several vertabrae in her back that are aginst each other and you cannot tell that a disc was ever there. The doctor said that it was unusal to see it, more because people didn't live long enough or couldn't get in to have a picture taken.

So, your body has a way of taking care of these things eventually.

Now, obviously if you are having muscle loss that is a serious matter that needs to be fixed.

But, my neurosurgeon friend says that for the garden variety slipped disc if you don't do anything after a few years the results are about the same.

That's not much comfort when you are hurting like hell.

Has anybody bought this saw? I see it is still in the classifieds but I know that Wiggs may not be up to speed yet. I'll take it if no one has dibs.

Randy, you were about a day and a half late.

Yes, it has been bought and paid for.

Rumor has it that a certain 028 Super is making a brief stop in Tennessee before it goes to California............this may be pure speculation though.........:msp_wink:

A total and a list of raffled items/port work would be good too.

:rock:

1. MS460, fully rebuilt, ported, 25" bar, two new chains, wide clutch cover, dual big dawgs, roller chain catcher.
2. Woods port by Eric Copsey on your good running pro built saw.
3. 32" Oregon reduced weight bar with a square tooth semi skip chain
4. 28" Sugihara light weight bar
5. I think I'm missing one. Help me out here. Did Randy throw a port job in this one too?
