That's possible. I'll take it with me the next time I go shopping and have them change it.

Scrounging at Will's has halted for now as he has put cattle back in the paddock we were in along with his water buffalo. Said water buffalo is a cranky one apparently, Will said he once saw it toss another cow over a fence 
. He said we could still scrounge there, but it came with a health warning...

I do have plenty of uglies and noodlables to get through so at least I have an excuse to run a saw. A few showers around tomorrow but will hopefully be able to get out and sort/split/noodle what I have left from the Monstromint into stackables and horribles. There's stihl another trip there to go as well, Sunday might be the day. I don't think there will be a full overload left there but I need to do what I told the farmer (Bandy) I was going to do.
When Dad was still in business and I was several decades younger, I had a 24” bar on my Homelite Super 1050. I got tired of guys running saws in the ground, then grabbing my saw and dulling it up. So, I stenciled “Joes saw“ on one side of the bar and “don’t touch“ on the other. Didn’t work, they still grabbed it. Then I started using the 1050 and I don‘t think any one ever touched that one again.
Just because it’s a little long, doesn’t mean you have to stop your pull with your hand behind your ear.I drop start mine. It can make me say bad words occasionally.I stihl think the cord is a tad long.
Probably carry enough beer to the end of day fire pit, before the ice melts?
Too much talk about wood, saws, tractors. Time to get back to nature. It's spring, the deer are starting to drop their fawns. The Coyotes are picking them up just as fast!
I wish that was the way my day went. More later. I have work to do.Morning all. Hope everyone's projects go well today.

My property was the driest over the Memorial Day weekend WE that I have seen it in years. Usually there are 20 to 30 mud puddles on my logging roads that stay year-round and harbor frogs and salamanders and ice up in the winter. Only the largest one (which has never gone dry and can swallow ATVs) still has water, and a couple of others still had soft mud. Keep in mind, when we went up a month before, it rained the whole WE.
When we were up there, my 16 year old grandson used my MS261 to cut some small diameter firewood that was in the wood cradle. I was too intent on supervising to take any pictures.
My F-150 averaged 19.5 MPG with the ATV in the bed, which is 2-3 MPG better than it does with the winter oxygenated fuel and the Blizzack tires on it. Rte 17 has lots of steep hills that kill your mileage, as does the 2mi, unpaved, 4wd road going up to the cabin, so I was pretty happy with that #.
Kinda like painting a rainbow on one
That's what trailers are for
. Yeah buddy.You could get to the grocery store really fast.
Saw this one earlier today, 550am actually, surprisingly the pic came out alright. It's an old lighting, cool old trucks.
Shot a chipmunk last night with the 17HMR at around 55yds, looked like that except smaller, never found the tail lol.Too much talk about wood, saws, tractors. Time to get back to nature. It's spring, the deer are starting to drop their fawns. The Coyotes are picking them up just as fast!

Hydrostatic shock does some interesting things... I shot a woodchuck with a 180 gr HP from a .44 magnum pistol one time... My then girlfriend and hunting buddy were with me. Upon inspection my girlfriend asked "Where's the fur?"

Yeah, it's the opposite here. I mean it's fairly dry where I live, but I don't have to go far up the hill to find snow. Water is running all over the roads up there and there is even water that's bubbling up out of the middle of the roads...tons of new potholes too.
Just about done with the stairs . 
And the peanut gallery wasn’t at all amused with me interrupting feeding

He is a cowboy. He should just throw a saddle on it and ride it. Maybe use it to pull the firewood trailer. Save petrol.

Great. Swapped teh 400 for the old MS 362 and couldn't get a 'pop' out of it even with a dose of carb cleaner. That is one easy starting saw. Guy who had it is known for practical jokes so.... I'll have a talk with him at the morning coffee call.
To top off a fun 3 hours cut/pile brush I married the new 32" bar =with a big, rotten willow. Almost all the way through the butt when it locked the tip solid. Tree was bent almost parallel to the ground, no way to do and undercut. My method....definitely not approved by any one but me... is to throw a chain binder on it just above the felling cut then cut straight down until the tree falls. Ussually works well but I didn't take into consideration the big bow in the tree. Trouble came when the tip met the ground. I'll be out there in the morning whittling away at the top. Not much left of the top. I cut/piled almost all of it this morning, what I could reach from the ground Mostly just the main log left. I was hoping to get some good rounds off it so the rotten butt was a surprise.
