did you ever notice ,when it is 60 degrease outside you look at the wood pile and say ,I will never burn all of that this year.then you look at it when it is 5 and you think I am going to run out of wood .

I know the feeling..

Morning gents,12 degrees,stoked the stove,made a fresh pot of coffee and thinking about going back to bed.

I had 14 degrees at 4am. We didn't get much more than 1/2" of the snow - not that I am complaining.

I still haven't got the sliding doors for my shop addition built. Tracks are up & since Charity Cut III has been postponed, I hope to have them up this weekend.

 

[Hedgerow]

Hey, they got the snow off 96 hwy..
Nice for a change...

Well, it's 28F here tonight. Got the fire stoked with Hedge and Mulberry. Killed a cup of coffee and I get to leave for work in about 20. I've got a cord going out this coming Thursday and them I'm out of sell-able wood until next season and I've had people calling me out of the blue, friends of customers asking for wood. This is about too turn into work...Oh well. Now it's time to buy a few trailers, a S.S. and hopefully a minty 075 from a local dealer as the funds allow. Then all I really need is a 30-50hp tractor or a skid steer and I'll be all out of excuses for not doing more!

I can give you a few more after you run out...
I can cut 50 cord a year if I don't have to... But as soon as I feel like I have to, I don't wanna... I've started hoarding more than selling...

5:00 a.m. and the temp. is 28 deg.. Beats the hell out of the single digits we been having. Maybe it will get over 50 in the garage so I can tinker with the Remy from Cobey today.

Need a Lombard auto-oiler check valve to fix it.

Remington PL-5 or SL-11, 65cc. Nice cosmetics.
F.W.I.W.: I sold a running model 18/SL-11 to a fellow last month for 60 USD.

Morning gents, I see Carl has already given the weather report for our little corner of the world. I need to go out and stoke the stove and get ready to face the world.

Sorry for trying to feed the habit Kenneth. Looks like you're doing pretty good without any help I'd better not add more right now. I checked and I've got 20 potential runners to get going. Just finished a Pro Mac 555 for a friend and dissected an early XL-12 to find the production date using Homelite Service Memos. It turns out to be produced 05/64 which comes close to matching the one that my Dad first bought and that was what I was looking for. It's a runner as of this morning.

Jerry, that looks like a mighty nice saw. I'd make a run at it if I were you.

I looked for revisions mentioned in the service memos such as a busing added to the throttle lock, a washer and clip added to the breaker arm post, a 1/4" longer TJ-8J spark plug boot, then I ran out of revisions to my saw between memos for 05/08/64 and 05/15/64. Probably not an exact science but close enough for me.

Hope you have a chance at that saw if you want it. If it was local, I'd probably be checking it out

That's a handy bulletin for 1972 and newer saws.
