I cant believe how low a stock these places have. I'm starting to believe these places are going to build per order where they wont carry it anymore in stock they build it per order.

That's good to know thanks ill have to use that when we cook with the cast iron up north.
I have posted this before: a little ‘kit’ that I place in each saw case and tool bag, for field cleaning.
Old toothbrush, used Sawzall blade, cut off paint brush. Basically ’free’
At home I use an air compressor.

Good to know!I didn't know that the Stihl raker gage had a rail cleaner on it!
I got mine way back. I dunno if there is one currently in stock. I looked for a part number on it but there isn't any. Very convenient and don't have to go looking for something that will 'fit'.
No doubt, my dad went with pleasant hearth wood burner because it was 800$ and made in USA I believe and up to 2200 sqft. That little jotul should fit nicely where I need it to go and the clearances are alot smaller than a bigger stove. I was gonna try Vermont castings aspen but the feedback I got here was 99% negative lol.
I've had this one for quite awhile, but can't recall exactly where I acquired it. I didn't think it had a brand name on it, but lo and behold, it's a Mac! I don't think I've ever used it to set my rakers or check my angles, but I do use
it to clean out my bars.
Not all roller tip bars are designed to be greased . My Pioneer Oregon are , they came with a small packable grease gun for the roller tip . I give the nose a quick squirt every usage which is perhaps twice a year for my old girls . Most modern bar the oil groove on the rail is adequate to ensure flow to the roller tip bearing if the groove is cleaned periodically usually during routine bar maintenance & truing .

I just use the horse shoe nail on my log tape. With the exception of the air filter. I only clean my saw whenever I pack out of strip before packing into a new one. Cleaning it usually consists of a half a** blow out with air then back in the pickup. I sell my saws at half cost after six months and buy a new one. By then they've paid for themselves several times over!
It finally poured at our place in N.E. too and we really needed it. I was getting tired of watering the garden.
My Ruger M-77 in 300 Win Mag did very well today at the range. It is a Bi-Centennial gun with a tang safety.
I've put a lot of rounds through it over the years, so it prefers the bullet to be set out a little further than will fit in the magazine. If I want to hunt with 3 bullets in the gun I load one short to fit in the magazine, then put a long one on top of it and another long one in the chamber.
The short ones usually shoot 1.5 - 2" at 100 yds. Today, the long ones made a 7/16" 3 shot group. Then I adjusted the scope and the next two bullets were 5/8" apart in the pouring rain.
My load is a 168 grain Barnes TTSX over 78 grains of the original Norma MRP with a CCI mag primer. (This is the old MRP, Norma discontinued it then re-introduced it a little bit different). My Hornady third edition shows a max load of 79.2 produces 3,200 FPS.

Opening up more roads on my hill that haven't been mowed in over 3 years. One of them was last done 12 years ago. That was not fun.
Yea, we saw a pair just losing their spots on my property also, but I didn't see Mom around!
But it is encouraging we are seeing lots of twins being born.
MechanicMatt sent me a pic of 7 does in a field we have permission to hunt. Last year, there was nothing there, likely EHD.

I had 15 harvested off my land, so I can grow beans again & there are another five moving in to replace them.

Wow. I haven't been on here in a week or so. Been dealing with some stuff, and hosting family. This page gathers no moss!
I had family here over the weekend, and we took my 10 year old nephew out shooting with his dad (my brother), and our dad. I started him off on a B.B. gun that I got at the local Ace, then he moved up to a .177 pellet gun. And finally, he squeezed off a few with a .22 rifle and a 9mm handgun.
I haven't cut or split any firewood in over a week, and really need to get at it. Feeling guilty about not "earning my keep" around the house lately!

It does but you can't use it for a screwdriver or it will breakoff. I know a guy that did that.Good to know!
Reminds me time to pull out the new 30-378 Weatherby and hit the range also . Last Moose Season it replaced my venerable Remington 700 . A little heavier to carry , but when loading 240 gr. partition silver tips its a one shot round .
I've done a lot of ballistic testing (on both wet newspaper and wet phone books) and other media and have concluded that bullet construction is far more important than bullet weight.
Because the Barns copper bullets open up with 4 pedals (instead of a full mushroom) they penetrate about 50% deeper than anything else. The spinning of the bullet makes the pedals cut veins and arteries like an arrowhead.
