You know you have CAD when......

That 51 looks like a good find.

Just searching for parts now, that little impulse do dah is pretty well thought of, best deal I can find is around 10$ delivered, I live 40 minutes from the nearest parts store so I guess I'll bite the bullet. That puts my investment in parts at around 50$ with a new Meteor piston.

When you get excited about the promotion you got just so you can buy more saws!!

....when your resistance to part with any saw is greater than your impulse to buy more. #PrepperInstinct

The cad kicked in and I was bored so the 51 Husky that was dropped off last week was the project for the day. Scrounged up a 353 flattop meteor piston that I had laying around, popped it in and it fit like a glove! The intake grommet for the impulse nipple was made from a piece of fuel line that had the right od and id, worked like a charm. I'm letting the gasket sealers and locktight set over night before I put it in wood but it held vac and pressure perfectly. Started it and bench tuned it so it four strokes at wot, idles without a hiccup. Total investment is a used piston from a previous project, an old piece of fuel line adapted to the impulse nipple, 3 1/2 hrs. labor. Cad fix for the day.

When you can remember the date in which you got a certain saw, or the first time you got a particular saw running, but you can't remember your anniversary or your wife's birthday.

When you empty the lint trap in the dryer and there's no lint but lots of sawdust.

Oh no! That's terrible. It's always a very sad day when you have to put down a well loved pet.

When you have so many saws, you can't remember which ones you got from where, and if they run or not.

Yeah that means it's getting bad!

For me it's not getting, it's been, for a while. I've actually do have a few saws that I can't remember where I got or if they run. It's to the point I need to put tags on them.

When you are so sick that you cannot stand up, yet you can't stop thinking about how to fix the 50+ year old chainsaw that's sitting on your workbench.

When I started my Craftsman 3.7 rebuild, I woke up sick that morning. I mean bad sick. But it didn't stop me for tearing that puppy down. I had to wear a dust mask to keep the old, oily saw dust from making me sneeze. And it would make me sneeze bad too.

I feel for ya happysaw, I watched my oldest brother with cancer, make a me sad thinking of it, nothing could help him and I felt helpless. But when he left us I knew where he was going, after 12 years I still miss him so much. Prays go out for you.
