I actually get nervous when we take the wife's car somewhere and I don't have my chainsaw money with me.

Yeah, and you can't keep your slush fund in your wallet cause then you'll spend it on dumb not saw stuff!

I have chainsaws and chainsaw accessories.
When you start buying saws for "Testing" purposes.
when you start a thread with CAD as subject
And you refuse to admit that you have a problem and say your friends do.

If I didn't have so many saws I haven't run yet I'd probably continue my "testing". But being I still need to break in multiple saws I better hold off lol.

You know you have CAD when you name all of your saws,
...when you run out of names for your saws.

I started numbering my saws a while ago. I sold the named saws like the SawTroll 361 saw and the Ken 044 saw, and I left the Saw from Hell 210 with my ex.
NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT SAW MONEY!
I just bought 6 Stihl 180-c power heads from a contractor that said they all had 60 PSI low compression or were seized up. They just use them and toss them as soon as something goes out on them, rather than pay to fix them. I guess that works for $250 saws? I got them home and went through them all and cleaned them up. The lowest one tested 140 and the highest 170. Low compression? Or a bad compression tester? None were really seized. One had the brake locked and another had a coil that was hitting the flywheel. Easy fixes. None were scored to my amazement, as I figured they would be. They are all pretty low hour saws from the indentations on the sprockets. Some were missing parts or had parts that were broken, but I managed to cobble together 5 complete saws from the batch and made one a donor saw. So now I have #1 through #6 series of 180c saws.
I have no use for any of these 180c saws, of course...

When you start getting other people to help you acquire saws and set up contacts with storage buyers.
When you tell your wife how much you like her little eager Beavers and she says well you have fifteen in out in the shop but you keep taking mine when you go cutting.

A coulpe used Dolkitas on Ebay have my attention! And some tanakas.
I almost started an ethanol fuel argument with a stihl dealer when he was talking to a customer but he wasn't pushing the customer to buy a stihl or moto mix so I moved on.

When you have trouble deciding which saw you want to start on next.
Or when you pull a saw off the shelf that has been sitting for a month and it fires up on the first pull and stays running, so then you go tell everyone else about how proud of it you are. Like baby's first word proud.

don't call me i will call you!!
When you decide to start trading internationally and shipping charges are more then the saws. Or when you end up getting saws from another country and after you get them you decide to look at a map to see where it really came from.

When you decide CAD really means chainsaws are desirable
