Good thing daylight savings isn’t a metric system thing or you guys would have to continue shoveling in the dark LOL.
Interesting though we don’t change over until 7th of April.

It makes me laugh when I hear people say that it's for the farmers

IT is!!! now we can work till 7 o'clock instead of going to bed at 7.

Do your curtains fade with that extra hour of sunlight ?

We actually had a state premier (governor) 15 years ago cite the incidence of melanoma as a reason not to introduce daylight savings in Queensland (with the extra hour of solar radiation. He subsequently tried to pretend it was a joke but no-one was buying it.

I can't wait, I hope we have the snow as well. I'd like it if it was this way all yr, I hate that it gets dark so early.
Maybe the snow shoveling at night is the cause for more heat attacks after the change , especially knowing it causes cancer.

He doesn’t burn wood for heat anymore. He just brought it in and wanted me to help him sharpen chain.

I don’t know how he’s got by so many years without knowing that[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I offered him $150 for it and he wouldn’t take it.

That nice saw could use this nice bar. Mine was a freebie from @Gugi47 when Steve had his GTG.

That's funny.
The gullets really need cleaning out on that chain.
I may have one here you can have if you want it, I'll check later, it would be a project saw not a runner.

Last year I bought an identical 150 Auto at a farm auction for $5. I just bought it for the recoil to fix my Dad's old 150. I was getting ready to take it apart and decided to put a squirt of mix in the carb, it fired. Filled the tank up and it ran great. Now I have to find another recoil for Dads old saw.

James, did you ever figure out what the hole in the clutch cover was for? Think the clutch got away once? Maybe he had it rigged to start it with a battery drill?

Nope no clue. I think it needs a carb kit I tried to run it a few times since then and it bogs and smoke pretty bad. I hope it's not sucking bar oil.

I just need to post about a missed scrounge. Hate it. Heading out on vacation and the tree service I always get wood from texts me. He said he had tons of red oak if I want it. Of course I want it but I can't get it. It sucks! Truck loads of it!

and don't forget to pull up the chest waders!! with the quick warm up.

Yep..this is above our house but thankfully drains away from us, well mostly anyway..

True red oak smells great.

Pin oak smells awful.

Spruce and pine smell good...

Yeah, but snow that deep stinks .

Around here we know it’s spring when the tops of the crocus and daffodils poke thru the snow. Where @Logger nate is you see the tops of the 40’ spruce and fir.

I currently have two XL2, one a derelict (leaks oil everywhere), the other on a "Rule" winch. Both were very good saws for their day. I started in 1976 with and old XL12 - also very good for then.
