My piccy no worky?

I don't get it. This site worked perfectly well 12 months ago then they mucked around with it and completely effed it up. Why? There was no need it was great as it was.
sort of like America! ~ i think it worked much better 12 months ago.... :popcorn2:

:yes:
 
I find that if you don't allow each pic to load before selecting the next one they won't work. Also you can't select full image all and then hit post right away, you have to wait until the pictures show up in the post(the one your making) before hitting post reply.
It takes a lot more time and doesn't always work right.

That sounds like a load of crap if @Darin said that.
Opeforum is alive and well and they're still running the setup that AS used to have. Maybe they should update to that, oh wait...
no doubt the AS still is a lot like Spring season! plenty of bugs!! ~

'shouldn't be too much longer, folks... maybe just need another new server....'

then the Pine Needle lady showed up...
What does do with them? Just curious.

BTW, what we call ‘noodles’ used to commonly be called ‘excelsior’, and was used to protect goods in shipments.

‘ softwood shavings used for packing fragile goods or stuffing furniture.’

hi P - yep! i can remember term 'packed with excelsior'. they live on two 1/2 acre connected parcels and use to mulch around plants n trees, etc... takes my leaves, too. often gives them away. but my steady stream of pine needle supply but a drop in their bucket... the Dad told me other day thay have picked up close to 300 bins (the big yard bins) full so far this year...
 
They had to update servers in hopes that it wouldn’t crash as much. Doesn’t appear to have helped much.
Couldn't get on at all this moring. Kept getting "Host Error". I found when adding multiple pics you have to make sure and hit add multiples button and check the little box in each picture. If that makes sense.
 
Got a pickup load of junk out of the garage and started to get some semblance of order.

Put my friends Homelite back together and it ran like crap. Fixed main jet saw. Broke the starter rope too. Called them up and we both agreed that they (both age 80) are better off buying a battery saw when they need a new one.

Next up was a different friend’s 2159. Got it all back together with new tank except for the AV mount on the handle that I had to order.

Diagnosed his 2145 as well. Needs P and C and may as well go AM big bore and do seals and intake. Texted them the cost of parts so if they say go, I’ll get the parts ordered.

Finally mounted my new chain grinder. Got things set up and did 4 chains. Still have 36 in line plus a few more dull ones on saws so I’ll be busy.

Don't let your food go to waste, there's a natural fridge outside the front door
Lol, would have thawed faster mate. 65* friday, didnt get cold enough to frost over night. So was a loose , loose situation for me. Gotta remember its spring here in the states. Saturday morning I ran back to my mates house to grab the last truck full of poplar. He borrowed me his welder. Took it home and realized the plug was wrong.... back to lowes and about an hour later had the house under power. Deep freeze was still froze solid, the little freezer was ok nothing fully thawed out. Should have the replacement capacitors today, or tomorrow. Will start looking for a second generator. 2 is 1, 1 is none.
Also thinking about a cold cellar again. Had plans for one, never got around to it. May revisit, and see what for permits I need or if I'm even allowed to do it.
Got to check out the wifes car, by the good grace of God, the cams stopped in that one place where nothing seems to have gotten hit. Pressure tested the cylinders and didnt get anything hissing out the intake or exhaust, so gonna toss a timing belt on it and see how it goes.
I did get a decent bit of wood this weekend. Have to snap a few pics when I get home.
 
Always had pull cord issues with my Homelites ... every year ... the Stihl saws held up so much better! My 044 did not have a pull cord issue till last year!
Indeed!

I’m through with that model of saw except for the one from my grandpa (which already has new duckbills and runs good as of last fall). They always seem to have one issue or another.

Except for 350 Husky family and pre-strato small Poulan and poulan made Husky family I’m through wrenching on non pro saws. Too many times you get into these basket cases where everything goes wrong and you’ve got hours invested into a $25 saw.

When I saw the 2145 I was thinking, put it on the forum for 75 and find a pro saw/mag case to put a 346 kit on. If you have an air leak you can spend a bunch of time on them, but if you enjoy working on them...
Fired up a 346 I got from a member here Saturday, filed a nice full chisel 18x325 chain for it. Need to do a semi-chisel chain for it too, probably be doing a bit of cutting across the road(where they were using the excavator) and they haven't been too careful about keeping the wood clean, I guess you don't when you don't sharpen chains lol.

That makes sense for guys like us but this will be his spare spare saw. Cause of death was overhearing while doing demo with a carbide chain. He won’t do that again.

To do a rebuild with seals, AM 45mm PC set, carb boot and replace a couple odds and ends would be 90 bucks. I haven’t heard back from him yet.
