Running out of places to dump rounds, out of pallets to stack on, but I keep dragging more home... About 35 cords & counting.

I need to spend some time in the loader tomorrow pushing back the jungle, so I can better organize the area. Can barely get the trailer turned around at the moment.

My CAD is only a tertiary case, but FAD--- I've got that full-on! If I don't get it under control soon, I'll have to build a kiln out of the old sea container out back. Need to get some of this wood dried & sold so I have room to bring more home.

Judging by the pics I'd say you are in serious need of intervention. ;o)

That's what all us caring, kind, and helpful members of AS are here for.....:hmm3grin2orange:
.....FAD is a very serious condition to be under the influence of.....:msp_scared:

Funny you say FAD because today I worked on a friends weed eater and I worked on it for 5-6 hours, had to make custom parts, drive out and get a carb kit and fuel lines that were unexpected and ended up breaking it worse than it was to start with. I am no longer for hire as of today! MY CAD IS NOW FAD. GOODBYE CAD! :angry:

Some of that stuff is un-repairable by design. I used to fix some of those things, now I just recycle them. Not worth
the headache, even for a friend. I don't suffer from CAD. I have 3 kinds of saws. Two that make sawdust, three
that are backups and are capable of making sawdust, and three that will eventually make sawdust. All of them are
unmodified.

Well, you might come around to a modified saw some day, but if you don't, great! This was a craftsman with simpull and if I would have had my wood stove fired up I would have burnt it in the stove. :blob2: rant off guys, sorry for the jack

No problem. Sears used to sell well-made products. These days they sell a lot of short-lived junk. I have a Craftsman rider
that I have to repair the deck drive system on every year. The parts are expensive junk. I have my eye on a neighbor's John
Deere 212. He's already promised it to me, no charge. It WILL be worth repairing.

And can't forget the pile of uglies! View attachment 248451

Bout dang time! Sent a dose of rep your way. Whatcha got there? I see Birch, Maple, maybe some red oak, and ???

I dunno ,but wood and canopy just don't belong in the same sentence.:msp_tongue:.

It's a temporary solution, probably on it's last year. It's actually worked pretty well for the time and money I have in it. This will be it's third season, and it's getting rough around the edges, but still functional. By next winter, the old broken down woodshed I flattened with the skidloader this spring will be rebuilt, about 25 cords worth of storage. It's just not to the top of the to do list yet.

That would be longbar's problem...
I have no Stihl scabbard's...
They make me feel dirty...

Hate to admit it, but I have one. It's a leftover from my misguided youth, and the guy who stole my MS170 left the scabbard. If he wants it, he can come get it. I won't prosecute, having to cut wood with a 170 is punishment enough.

I think everyone should have at least 1 modified saw... Even if it's just for the grin factor... I caught Steve grinning when he had some ported saws in his hands...:msp_biggrin:

If I take the baffles out of the muffler on the Mrs. P-2000 does that count? I ain't touchin' my 025. It's been good
to me over the years.

Just plan on taking a trip to Jasper AR this fall... Bring the 025... I don't know too many folks that have run a well modified 371 /372 husky, that aren't sold on the idea of having at least one... I think Cowroy got one from Jasha and I'll bet you couldn't pry that thing out of his hands... The one I have from the build off has been flogged hard for 2 years and is still rockin'...
I think Steve got to run that one a couple days ago... They're just fun...
