Yupp, I moved down here from Tokyo 20 years ago or so.
I grew up in a small rural community and never liked big cities.

Moved down here.............. where are you located now?

A Mt. Fuji pic, for a change, to give you an idea what it looks like where I live...

Please excuse my ignorance. Is a rotary style chainsaw engine the same basic concept as a mazda rx-7 rotary?

At least on the dolmar rotary, it is the same.
I have no idea on the yanmar.

Yes, thank you for sharing. And the photo is very nice indeed; could almost smell the salt of the ocean.

Yes, except for the lubrication - the saws run on mix (20:1 in the old days).
Actually only Dolmar and Yanmar did produce rotary engine chainsaws in numbers. The funny part is, that the first Yanmar rotary chainsaw (they actually had several models in 2 sizes over a 4-year span) came out 1 year earlier than the Sachs-Dolmar KMS4... Dolmar claims they were first.

I wouldn't mind seeing more scenery pictures.

Very nice, how close is your nearest Yanmar dealer, I don't think they sell saws anymore....

 

[SEAM]

Scenery? Hmmm.... let's see
