Yes, but he’s the one who knows about changing to a 1/4 pitch chain. Maybe I’ll just get the saws, then figure it out. Or go to YouTube to do research, I haven't looked much there yet.

Atta boy
It’s not difficult, let me know if you need help. I love combing through that stuff.
You have to wonder what is wrong with people like that. I was trying to buy a boat one time and the shop owner says he’s under a boat and doesn’t have time to talk to me. Fine by me, stay the **** underneath there and I’ll call someone else.
My husky mechanic is quitting in a few weeks to start a new job as a house inspector. His son will still be at the shop. I wish him well and will miss the setting around and shooting the bull. the son is a good small engine mechanic but dad is the whiz when it comes to the two cycle stuff. I feel the dealership will suffer. The shop turns out a lot of repairs each day simply because the father and son team dont dilly daddle around and know what they are doing.
Spend several hours re-stringing reels and tip ups. I’m taking the boys up to Lake if the Woods tomorrow after school. We are renting a sleeper fish house so you get 24 hours in the house once you check in. (Normally) great walleye and sauger fishing plus the ability to catch eel pout, northern, sturgeon and Muskie.
Boys can many the graveyard shift and I’ll get up early to catch the morning bite.

Was poking around in my fishing stuff and found five new spinning reels still in boxes.
I kind of remember buying them about 6 years ago but don’t really know why lol. Guess I need to scrounge some nice rods to match them.

So I’ll go ahead with the purchase, then get with you when I can measure it?
I haven’t found anything to back up Rich not liking the CS-271. I found several favorable reviews. Most YouTube videos are “Look at my new saw”, those don’t help me. A few were of people who have been using them for a time.
When I was looking for my new tractor I called the local red tractor dealer. The guy that answered the phone said the salesman wasn't there. Call back later.
So I bought a blue one. A few years later I had taken a bucket full of junk wood down the road to my Mennonite buddies tractor repair shop for their boiler and one of the head honchos from the the red dealer was there. He was bustin my balls about a blue tractor till I told him the story. I could see his blood boiling.
Yes we drive to. The lake is 1 million acres and there are several networks of plowed roads. Usually each resort has their own road that doesn’t intersect with others so they control who goes out. Additionally, some resorts will deliver you to the fish house in a tracked vehicle, either a vintage Bombardier or a modern SUV with tracks. However that is more expensive plus since I am fully equipped to fish I prefer the basic house rental. Those are more catered to the guys who just want to show up and the outfitter has all of the gear.
At this point in the year, we will be fishing about 20 miles from shore. So you’ve got a little hike once you get on the lake.
“Call back later”, that’s definitely a good way to prevent sales.When I was looking for my new tractor I called the local red tractor dealer. The guy that answered the phone said the salesman wasn't there. Call back later.
So to confirm, you are wanting to convert these saws to 1/4” pitch from 3/8 LP?
That’s why I don’t like doing reviews on a web search. You get some guy backing his car into the garage of beautiful house, with a spotless painted floor, spotless lawn tractor. Takes the saw out of the case, then takes five minutes to display the cool screw driver wrench thingy, blah, blah, 27 minutes later he says, and that’s my new saw. Tune into my next session where we mix the fuel. Ahhhhhhhhhh. There’s so much good advice out there, but some times you have to wade through so much junk to find it.
Or the car repair vids where they are working on a 25 year old truck that has never seen salted roads “oh this is an easy repair” then it takes me 2.5 hours lol.
I’ll tell you, appliance repair is a different beast. So much of that crap is over-engineered or put together ass backwards.
I’ve repaired almost every type of appliance but I shudder to think about it.

I don't want to go there. Our fridge died. The repair guy is a friend. He came and put all of his gauges on it. Gauge said it was the mother board. Got a new mother board, nothing. There was a smaller mother board in the door, got a new one, nothing. He started poking around inside, unplugged the fan, all the lights came on. He took all the new parts out, put our old parts back in, put in new fan, all is well. When we bought our fridge he said DON'T get a Samsung or LG, he doesn't work on them anymore. Most of the local appliance guys won't work on them any more. He kept fussing about the junk Samsung. I said, you told me GE was still OK? He froze for a second, then said, Sorry, this GE is made by Samsung.I watched a vid on repairing our fridge. It was easy. Picked up the phone, called the repair guy, paid him $190. Wife was happy and I had cold beer.
I guess this guy is a Purple Finch? When he is sitting with his wings folded, he has a rather bright red stipe down his back. When flying his whole back and breast are red. At first I thought it may have been a Pine Grosbeak, but we are way too far south. The PG is the biggest of the finches and these are about the same size as our House Finches.
Well, I can quit ******** about the rain. 47f when I went to bed last night, work up this morning to 27f, skim of snow and trees bending over from freezing rain. Ice everywhere, roads are like glass, but it aint raining.
