I was talking to one of my dad's neighbors today, and he mentioned that he had heard me running my dad's snow blower a few days ago, when we didn't have any snow.
I told him that I had re-tensioned the auger and drive belt a bit, and was testing them. He then asked if I had a leaf blower as well? I told him that I did, and I use it to clean off the garage floor as well as his RV bldg. floor. He said that he had thought that he had heard a two-stroke engine running.
He then said that he wanted to buy a chainsaw. I told him that I had recently bought a new Stihl saw. Of course he wanted to see it, and I was proud to show him my MS-461R. He was in awe of it. Much bigger than he wanted, but loved it.
Anyways, to get to the point, he asked me to go with him and help him decide on what to buy. He caught me off-guard and I couldn't come up with an excuse not to, fast enough.
He wants to buy either a Stihl or a Husky. He did say he would look at some Echo's though. We didn't talk price, but he acts as if he'll pay what it takes to get a good saw.
I'm no saw expert and have never claimed to be one. I'm okay shopping for myself, but don't feel all that comfortable helping someone else spend their money.
He asked if Saturday was okay? I kind of hemmed and hawed, and said yes.
