I lost my father almost a year ago (1/31/22). He lived a great life and taught me a ton. He was a "quality" guy and wasn't afraid to spend money on quality products. I had the privilege to work with him in a family business for almost 20 years. He left me a small amount of money and he always told me to pick something up after he passed. Yesterday, I purchased a Stihl 500i with a 20" bar. I know the 500i is more than what I need, but I really just wanted to buy the best and not second guess anything. My family has 4-5 acres of woods with a lot of work to be done. I have other bars that I can use with this too, but I'm really liking this 20" setup for now. If you parents are still alive, reach out to them today and tell them that you love them.
