Having served in "Group" also known as 5th Group Special Forces and 1st Group Special Operations Command (The ones I was in, there are more) I assure you this group is extremely tame in comparison

Thanks Lary, I'll take that as a compliment...
The boy is still sick (the flu), but he's getting better, I'm trying to get everything working, and now I really need a new frontwheel bearing, hope to get it tomorrow.
Good thing is it stopped snowing, no fun being a treeshade mechanic in the snow.

Just pay attention to safety and proper operation.

Safety chain is for idiots that accidentally hit something behind what they're cutting with the tip of the bar. The chain guards bump the cutters out so it just bounces off like a dog chain might. Pro chain tipping something solid at full throttle can put the cutter bar right into your forehead.

My post wouldn't post. Finally had to give up and get on with the day. Ever notice that at least a couple of old 'regulars' around here are no longer around here? Ever wonder why? I ran into a couple of them today and it seems they got so frustrated that they finally gave up all together.

Why don't you buy a roll and make your own? Not much cheaper, (a little), but WAY more convenient and you know what you have.

I really don't need more of those Eric. After a while, it's like going to the fair; you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Couldn't be me. I still HAVE my tail. And my hair!

Yeah, it must remind you of those group therapy sessions!

You got that right! I definitely fear what I don't understand.

So THAT'S what happened to you!

Evening all.

This "safety" chain doesn't have the bumpers, but it is just as soft. Stretches bad and doesn't stay sharp.

I don't know what we ran on the 288XP I learned to cut wood with, but it was tall and didn't stretch and stayed sharp. I'm sure the safety ***** would love to see a 14 yr old running an 88cc saw with a 24 inch bar and professional chain.

Cut enough wood between my jr and into my sr year of high school to keep us warm for the winter, the the water jacket imploded on our boiler, so I kept my uncle and grandparents warm for a good chunk of the winter.

I'll have to look into the tool for working the chain.

Told my dad if him and my uncle make it out here this winter they better bring that 288 that's still back there. Needs a flywheel, and I picked one up a couple winters ago.

That sounds like me. Unless they're married. Or gay. At least I'm getting better at picking up on the ones who can't be described with a 2-word phrase starting with "bull".

Oh go and.....
Rats, I got nothing.....

As soon as I am done with this cold I will have a snappy comeback.
Meanwhile, I will have to rely on chaikwa for comments.
He is pretty witty half the time.

Hey, all y'all, I am reading about the tech probs folks are having. I don't think I am magic, mostly just lucky, but I haven't had any site connection problems since I started using my iPad and Safari. Are any of us who are having issues running iOS and Safari?

I am not judging, just asking.

Memory is so cheap now I put another 32G in the desktop.
I have now gone back to Windows 7 and ie explorer 9.
No problems at all.
I had problems with Safari 5.1.7 but I think they were self inflicted.

Even on TV I couldnt watch him without cringing.
Grandson and parents who visited us for Christmas returned to Seattle to discover the deep freeze (with about 90lbs of good salmon) had turned off due to a GFCI tripping.
Not only was the food bad but they had to pitch the freezer.
That salmon was caught while still in salt water, filleted and frozen within 5 hours.

Justwannabeme

ahhhhhhhh alaska salmon........crab..........bark, cougar and ofc marc lol!

feel better Bark, really work to get that nasty stuff gone from de lungs.... key to feeling like the living after the flu. shame on the spoilt silvers..

SHORTS! hey girl! today you get to do a lil shopping .....up, up, up go the spirits! (better than down the "spirits"....heheheh)

Afternoon all. Looks like we may have dodged the bullet for the most part this time. Tornadoes and fatalities east and west of us. Adairsville, Ga got hammered a little while ago. I-75 shut down in both directions, cars flipped over and at least one fatality. This storm is currently closing in on Ashville, NC. More storms moving into the Atlanta metro now.
