I'll be damned . My insurance company emailed me . Due to the covid stay in place they are giving me a 15% discount for April and May due to less driving in general and fewer accidents. Maybe buy a few bars and chains

Very well written.
Aside from the lack of free time, I know if I started porting it would end up like my carpentry projects (taking off too much at one time). LOL. But maybe someday.
I heard certain companies are doing that, which I commend them for.
I’m through Progressive who didn’t hear was on that list. I’m going to fire them soon though. Unfortunately it’s sold through a friend but when I send him some other business I’m going to pull that away because they’ve jacked their rates 50 percent in two years.
The guy that brought me the wood yesterday told me he got the same deal. Allstate I think. Did you hear anything about Carlisle. I didn't look at their website lately.
Carlisle has been postponed to May 27-31 . Yes Allstate is my carrier.
Got this little load the other day and brought it straight into the house(well the kids did 
). This should take me thru til summer, it's supposed to make it to 70 today , but a chance of snow this weekend
, as they say, just wait 5 minutes lol.

Pretty happy with the wrap handle. It took a little drilling and grinding to fit. Should be good enough for me.
I like the old school looking silver on the Johnny
I had been with Geico and switched to my agent friend. It was a few bucks more per month but figured a local agent was worth it. Now they have jacked rates nearly 50 percent.
I knew that. There’s a story of the first settlers finding an ash tree, hence the name. I’ve told the story to people born and raised here, and they don’t believe me. I think it does grow along the rivers and creeks, but that’s a tiny percentage of the area. Most developed land has no trees, and non native trees are planted. I don’t like that, I planted a valley oak in our yard. So, because very few people experience the creeks in the area, they don’t think of ash as being local.
Kinda the same way here in Michigan. A lot of our ancestors migrated here to work in logging camps and harvest the vast stands of old growth white pine that was used to build our nation. Replaced them with the majestic yellow poplar and scruffy plantation pine.
Progress report. Pretty pathetic.
Out to process the pile of locust small stems. Found I had about 30 minutes work just cleaning up and piling what I already had cut. Loaded the limbwood jig, grabbed 362 and found I couldn't pull it! Usually it is a 2 pull start but I could NOT get the full pull needed for the first shot. Time I gave up and took to to my buddy I had it fully flooded. No go there either but he could not see a spark on his tester. Bag it up and off to the dealer (60 mile round trip) only to be shown It was just a simple flooded problem and I just wasn't man enough to pull it cold start. Back home and gave a try starting it. By putting a board through the handle loop and sttanding one that and then mentally picturing pulling the string clear out it finally fired for me.
Just finished the job 30 minutes ago, about 1/4 cord, and was barely able to climb the steps into the house. Still havee to get out there and do some mowing.
Next time that saw will be sitting by the stove warming up while I have breakfast. It has to have that full pull first shot or it ain't gonna start. All I was able was a half pull.

Careful with that!

Glad you are back at it. Have you considered an electric saw for the work at home that's within cord range! I know it's not the same or as fast but it might be easier on you to ease back into it.

Ok desperate times call for desperate measures. Any of you local guys have a 60DL 3/8 .050 chain I could buy, steal, or borrow for a chain build off. No luck getting from local shops.
@turnkey4099 glad your recovering and getting back on your feet.

Ebay?
I’ll check tomorrow. I just went through most of my chains. I hade two Saber 3/8, 59 DLs. Turned out they were for a Super EZ, 16 inch. I put them all in marked zip lock bags. I had something in a 60 DL, but it may have been LoPro.
James I’ve got Trilink full chisel if you want. I can have it to you on Thursday. No charge. Just let me know.
