Yeah, I got that.
Hardwood, softwood, drapes or window blinds, curves or slim, I could care less. I've got a woman who I love to be around and who loves me despite all my many faults and that's what makes her beautiful to me. The looks fade but it's nice to be with someone you can stand. Glad I'm not single, I'd suck at it and probably just become a bachelor for life.
My bluetick girl got spayed today and she's not feeling herself yet.
Cold and blowing and snowing for 2 days and I'm just feeding the stove

Our dogs like to lay right in front of the stove too.

Well, I'm frustrated. My dad has my grandpa's old 011 aveq. Always ran well. This fall he was cutting with it and it would quit after 15 minutes. Checked and it had no spark when acting up. Coil replacement time. He gets a chicom coil for it and asks me to install it. I installed it tonight and no spark. Pulled cover again, checked wires and reset coil gap. Still no spark. WTF! Checked continuity on kill wire to ground with kill switch on and 0 ohms. Disconnected kill wire from coil and found kill wire terminal is shorted to ground. Damn coil is put together wrong. I'm going to try to convince him to get a new saw. That's my rant for today.
If your dad likes and is used to a saw with the balance, light weight and performance of the 011, you may have a challenge in finding a suitable replacement for him these days.
It is a 41cc pre-emissions good quality saw that IMHO should be repaired and put back to work (and give pleasure).
Try a MS241C, if you can find a good, clean one.
Never trust the chicoms! And never skimp on parts for a saw! But I'm not sure of genuine stihl coil price vs value of saw/price of new saw.
Depends on the saw, but I've had good luck with Chinese coils on most saws.
But that is how it goes, I had a lot of problems with the 440 cars (I stopped using them), but the 660 carbs were good. Go figure!
It is often a "saw specific" problem.

He pulled through everything well yesterday. Even walked to the car and wasn’t woozy. Last night he slept by my side of of the bed.
The corgi was relegated to his kennel downstairs and she howled quite a bit before going to bed and again at first light. Can’t win sometimes.

Glad to hear! That's fantastic!
Since we're posting dog post surgery pics, here's one of Ellie after her surgery in November. 
Three lumps removed and 5 teeth pulled. She turns 11 in a week.

Mine freaked out with the cone. So far I’m just keeping him nearby and he hasn’t paid attention to the affected area.
We opted for the surgical onesie over the cone. So far it seems to be working

My late husband trimmed for thirty-some years, and yeah - it don't come back.
Bummer about the saw/coil, and the chicom parts.
Right in your neck of the woods and parts availability is a bit better.
https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/super-clean-026.357077/That would give you time to find some oem parts to rejuvenate the ole girl. I'd just put an ad on here looking for a coil, someone has one.
Edit; here's one on flee bay, once you click on it down below the initial ad you will see other options and you can bounce around to find something that may be cheaper, I didn't look to far.

This is also a great saw, if you want to jump into a more modern saw that has some nice features and sips fuel.
One benefit of the 026 is that pretty much any shop can work on it of you don't have a great dealer if you ever had a problem needing diagnosis of the mtronic setup.
Matching collar and cuffs it's what we say, but we also have a current fashion for sleeveless.
No real scrounging tonight but I did buck up some long stuff in the wood lot with the new 700. It was really kicking it tonight. Love that saw.
Got my buddy’s little husky 240 screaming again. It’s amazing what one quarter more turn that a limiter will allow will do.
former limiter that is.

A 240 is not my favorite saw to work on!!! By the way.
Still to cold out to scrounge. I took a walk to the barn and there is a heavy layer of ice on top of the snow. Makes a lot of noise as you walk breaking up .
So I roughed out out a new knife. Made the blank from 01 . Need to harden it tomorrow and temper then finish it but beforehand I’ll drill out the tang for the brass handle
