It takes time to heal up. Just keep bending that knee when they tell you to. Even before the crutches were gone I started taking walks down my street. I started off slow at 200 yards round trip. A few days later I was doing 400 yards. Within a 1 1/2 months I was walking 11/2 miles. I also started using a stationary bike at a mild 1 mile pace. A few weeks later I was up to 5 miles. I tried to give it a one day break after these workouts.BTW, I am doing well on my new knee. Slow progress, I'll admit, but every day I can do a little more and better than yesterday.
Was able to walk up and downstairs the day after surgery (2 weeks ago yesterday), although it's still a slow journey.
Yeah I know how it is, I'm kind of a recovering husky guy myself..... I've been getting more Stihls and less huskies lately too.It wasn't always this way, but I'm a Stihl guy nowadays. Just to prove that I'm not biased, I do own a couple of Huskies. I love the 372, but my relationship with my mk1 550 is best described as "complicated." I don't use the 550 much, but if I did use it more, I would swap it for a m-tronic 261 in a heartbeat. The 550 is a tempermental little saw.

The 2020 550XP mkii is much better than the early model.It wasn't always this way, but I'm a Stihl guy nowadays. Just to prove that I'm not biased, I do own a couple of Huskies.

Beech is heavy. I've been removing all of ours.You got that right. If you tried picking up beech rounds that size you'd be hauling the family jewels home in that trailer.
Good to hear!! Prayers for a speedy recovery!!BTW, I am doing well on my new knee. Slow progress, I'll admit, but every day I can do a little more and better than yesterday.

You feel like such a traitor at first, then you realize it's still half orange and isn't so bad...husqy guy that owns a few stihls...Yeah I know how it is, I'm kind of a recovering husky guy myself..... I've been getting more Stihls and less huskies lately too.
A sign in an English class reads.....KK, that's appropriate use of an apostrophe. The apostrophe between "he" and "s" is for a contraction, as the long form would be "he is." You're also right that an apostrophe can also be used on a possessive noun.
Not to nitpick, but in your second paragraph, you should've added an apostrophe in "its," as that's also a contraction. Now if the "its" is a pronoun and it has possessiveness, the use of the apostrophe wouldn't be correct...i.e. "the dog buried its bone."
I'm going to stop trying to sound smart, my grades were near the 10th percentile in my HS graduating class and I never finished college...an English teacher can probably poke holes through a lot of the stuff I type.
Ok BRUFAB..... I think we need to get our striped shirts and whistles again!!!! The husky / Stihl guys are at it again. LololKeep the bars and chains on the Stihls for cuttin wood and these are shelf queens. Pictures are worth a thousand words.
I've heard that the mk2 is a quality saw. Probably the deal breaker for me is that it's nearly a pound more than the 261. I picked some m-tronic 261s early this year for my work and I've been impressed with them so far. I've only run them a few times, but decent power...they replaced 260s, which I wasn't a huge fan of. It's funny for me to say this, as I have a bunch of old Stihls and only one 3-series Husky, but I prefer the 3 series Huskies over the XX0/0XX Stihls...IMO the 3 series were at the top of the heap in there day. However, I've really like the Stihls of the last 5 years.The 2020 550XP mkii is much better than the early model.
Ha! I missed your post when I was creating my blithering wall of text. I totally agree with this. IMO, the newer Stihls are kinda like what 2 and 3 series Huskies were back in the day. Lightweight and power. I've got a few 0 series Stihls, and the AV, air filtration, etc is so old school compared to their contemporary Huskies.When I was a kid I actually disliked Stihl people..... guess I had a pretty bad case.....
I still prefer the older huskies over the same age Stihls, but I'm liking the new Stihls better than the current Huskies.
Bottom line is, I just like powersaws!
You guys Echo guys? Nothing wrong with them...I've got a 2511t myself. Used to have a CS8000, but I gifted that to my old man after turning it up a bit. A 501 or 4910 might even be in my future if I decide to get a new 50cc.Ok BRUFAB..... I think we need to get our striped shirts and whistles again!!!! The husky / Stihl guys are at it again. Lolol
Most fun I've had all day!
It comes and goes between the two. Stihl seems to be coming on top lately. Not too many years ago, I wouldn't have taken a new stihl if it was given to me... the ms400 has made me believe again.When I was a kid I actually disliked Stihl people..... guess I had a pretty bad case.....

Oh, I've been doing the stretches, leg lifts, bends--all the necessary stuff to get back up to speed. This afternoon I walked several times across the room without the walker or any other aid--felt pretty good.It takes time to heal up. Just keep bending that knee when they tell you to. Even before the crutches were gone I started taking walks down my street. I started off slow at 200 yards round trip. A few days later I was doing 400 yards. Within a 1 1/2 months I was walking 11/2 miles. I also started using a stationary bike at a mild 1 mile pace. A few weeks later I was up to 5 miles. I tried to give it a one day break after these workouts.
That's pretty much where I'm at. The 400 and more recently the 261 have made a bit of a Stihl guy outta me....now I just wish I had an excuse to buy a 462.......It comes and goes between the two. Stihl seems to be coming on top lately. Not too many years ago, I wouldn't have taken a new stihl if it was given to me... the ms400 has made me believe again.
The 400 is a badazz saw. Everyone who doesn't own a 400 is probably sick of hearing us talk about them, but they really are that good. Seriously though, it's by far, the most versatile saw in my line up.It comes and goes between the two. Stihl seems to be coming on top lately. Not too many years ago, I wouldn't have taken a new stihl if it was given to me... the ms400 has made me believe again.
