My first saw came from a store called Viking Village. They sold Husqvarna power equipment, Husqvarna sewing machines, and Pfaff sewing machines. Eventually they dropped power equipment and just sell sewing machines.

Looks essential to me, maybe I should come give you a hand :cheers: .
Maybe the longest drawn out joke on the forum is the highly valuable black walnut[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Either that or Brett wearing pajamas running a saw

If you know what to do with it you can make some good money . Over the years I've sold about 30 odd pieces . Made a hell of a lot more off them than I would have rather than a few hours of heat . :) 20200414_135245.jpg20200414_135248.jpg20200414_135301.jpg

Beautiful bikes @chipper1

Well, like I said on Sunday. The wife and kids stacked up the wood pile for me. It went further than I thought. One or two more loads with my little trailer and I think she'll be full.

Thanks. It's better that I don't ride them, I really enjoy fast! I get my rpm fix with saws these days, it's a lot cheaper, and I can heat the house with the results:happy:.

It's looking good in there.
I have about on more row to finish filling mine too :).

About 20 years ago I had a bike, only a 600 but still deadly fast.

The issues with riding a rocket up here is that they are cold bikes to ride on so the season is rather short. Secondly, deer like to eat grass along roadways and frequently cross roads on warm summer evenings which makes for a huge risk.

Yesterday we had some heavy rain so no scrounging I walked out to the truck and sank into the grass. Muddy mess . Daughter has had no power since yesterday afternoon. She has a small genny there but shes using my camper trailer to cook . House is all electric camper runs on 12 volt and propane for cooking and refrigeration. I store it at her place . Cause she has a paved area for it nothing worse than sitting on grass

I was just going to sand and buff out the imperfections got some on the first flood but decided to do another flood coat . So it's got the seal and two flood coats about 1/4 inch total . Should be waterproof .20200414_132250.jpg

That looks sweet.
You're right, I don't buy vehicles that have been stored on grass, they get that rust that bubbles real bad. When I'm looking at pictures of cars online if I see any of that type of rust under the hood I'm out.
