SATTDAY!! Wish it were but its raining n not warm, wish it was!!
Day started out foggy and drizzly! This afternoon sun came out for awhile with big cumulus clouds and humid. Big temp change from yesterday. Now pretty much overcast.
Trying to get this darn woodpile cleaned up so I can go run "Mighty Mouse!" Boss has laid down the law " No more wood until it's cleaned up!" LOL One of the prices we pay for the marriage!

Hey Chris!!!!!!!

You do any porting????
Can't believe that your post just showed up, didn't realize I was that far from civilization. No I don't do any porting at least not anymore, I use to port snowmobile engines but that's been probably 40 years ago, seems like another life ago. I didn't have a ported saw until I won the "PHIL" 440 I won in the fund raiser, now I have 2 another 044 10mm I picked up, ported saws are a real joy.

Cleared a circle for a cul de sac today, man I am not used to running a chainsaw for 8 hrs dropping trees no more. Got to toughen up again and that uneaven ground thing throws the old legs fer a spin...LOL
Envy you to be able to run as saw that long. You are absolutely right about the uneven ground, thought I was the only one that was affected.

It wasn`t a really big job ,just a half of a 300' diameter circle with small trees spaced 3 - 4 feet apart, around 70 trees under a foot dia but they are tall with lots of limbs that needed to be knocked off, ground went from swampy like to rather bumpy and of course it gets worse once its cluttered with tree branches n stems to step over. It would have been a 5 hr job back when I was in my twenties...LOL

I can`t make myself cut with a stock saw, each one of them seems too slow no matter how many cc they are. That must be that power to weight ratio they all speak of, especially my old friend Saw Troll.

Best advice would be stretching out during and after work. Getting old sucks especially with the weather changes

Yesterday we were clearing around garage stalls in low income housing. These ppl have damn near a free place to live and have no respect for the property. Garbage everywhere and we did not rake anything around the sides or back due to too much garbage. Think i need to take my saw to the car wash and sanitize it
