Yea I know. Hunting I have to say is my main attraction. Saws are a close second. Hope no one gets mad at me.
Usually if I camp and hunt, I get to saw firewood and hunt too, so all is well!

...I was mighty tempted to just stay up there and find a full-time job and everything.
Just spent the entire day working on that exact idea...filling out Federal "KSAs"
OMG...

I pull my 090 over a few times everytime I get it out while leaving the kill switch in the off position. Coudln't tell you why, it just happens. The no fuel thing has happened once or twice though!
Heh! Worked around the place with the PU for a couple hours, crawled in again and no go. Good fire, etc. Finally had it towed to town. Diagnoses "outa gas but you had a full aux tank" I coulda walke under a snakes belly.

New saw made by Porche?

I guess I should have put the VI in front of it....
I believe the 944 Porsche has an automatic choke....LOL! Just what I was thinking.
Reminds me of a story.
Had a mustang, was really fast like 425hp fast. My addiction before saws, lol.
Pull up to a 944 in a nearby town, little punk driving it. Man itlooked like junk. Took off on green and he smoked me terribly.
Got back to town and talked to him, looked under the hood and it had a 911T engine that had been souped up to the max.
Man that lil POS was smokin fast! Embarrasing.
About the 361, man you should be ashamed for cussing out your saw. Poor feller. Wasnt it's fault the owner don't know how to put gas in.
Yeah, KSAa are a pain in the backside for sure. The new KSA "questions" on the Avue application system are pretty strange too. One personnel officer in Montana told me to just check the first box every time on every question, but I know that isn't right.

Ah, I'm the lucky one... I live in Alaska, get to play with chainsaws, and my wood is in for the winter. Now I can go play!
Nice shed but that doesn't look like enough wood for an Arkansas winter
I think we'll be fine... the pile's about 7' high, 5' wide and 14' long. The shed's a lot bigger than it looks. And see that bulged out door? Guess why?! 
Besides, cuttin' and splittin' can only cut into SO much of my summer! I mean there's fish to catch!

Guess it depends on who'se doin' the startin'... I've never had a problem starting a Stihl when it's out of fuel. Or any saw for that matter...

This is my first rodeo with that stuff - turns out that these weren't normal KSAs, it was just 40 essay questions about everything that I have done professionally for the last 25 years...OMG.
In other words, it was several days of creative writing that will be verified...
Nice job if'n I get it! If not, I got two new leads this morning, city, not federal...still not bad.
