Initial thoughts on the RedArmor... It seems to be easier on my eyes than the Stihl oil, but a good session with the brushcutter would really tell me. I started my 362 yesterday with mostly Stihl oil and a small top off of RedArmor. My eyes burned a bit going through that tank, but on refill, it...

Yea, that stock chain was terrible. I use Stihl pm on all my small saws aside from a bit of Carlton I bought to try(I like it a lot, but not as much as Stihl). I'm getting ready to buy an NK b&c for my 2511. Two reasons; I'm hoping for a performance upgrade while keeping my preferred pitch...

355t. 362cm for larger branches(on the ground), and the 661cm for the trunk. The 355 is underperforming. I need to back off the high screw a bit, and the chain's still too grabby. I took the rakers down too far, and it's made it a hassle to use. I did the same to my 2511, but that one was worse...

No, but I have new motivation to get the 42cc poulan working again. I had Old Smoky out yesterday, and it's really pissing me off. It's such a hassle to run. I want to swap it with the poulan for the back of the truck.

Boss texted me last night and said he was working in the office today, but a neighbor wanted a tree felled. I thought I knew which tree it was, and figured it would be an hour tops, so I went in at 10. I was debating bringing my climbing gear, but I figured I could get into something else when...

I wouldn't use 3rd party av of any kind. Windows defender, ublock origin on firefox, and common sense is as good as it gets.

I would imagine it has a bearing, but I haven't verified it myself.

I'm a little jealous of the box. I've yet to have gotten a box with a new saw purchase aside from my poulans, and one of those was just a paperboard wrapper around the case.

Sorry, I meant to post that. Yea, it's a rock of some kind. Almost seems like quartz that absorbed(!) dirty oil. I haven't tried to wash it or anything cause I really like the way it looks, but floating around the last 30 years hasn't altered the color.

Dumb work and firewood again. Got home and looked for my feeler gauge, but I don't know where it went. I did find my toe in my toolbox... I found that on a job ~30 years ago. Picture doesn't do it justice. It's weird looking and fun to hold. I actually thought about it recently, and wondered...

That looks great! Combination of mid century modern and rustic.

That's fantastic Kave!

How's he liking it? Everything feel good?

Is there water in play? I don't follow this stuff closely, but we don't start a lot of work in spring when fish are breeding. This is mostly bridge work, but I could see other work being affected if there might be stream runoff, or creeks have to be crossed or something.

I was cold today! D^: I washed my BDU jacket, and don't want to wear it again til next season, so I just wore my regular stuff, and it wasn't quite enough with the wind. Located some stuff for a boundary in the country, ate lunch, then cut/split firewood. Cutting wood warmed me up. Front porch...

Someone screwed up. I had noisewall today, and it hasn't really rained in a few days. I'm only supposed to be there the day after a rain :^D Not much in the way of mud, but today kicked my ass. I was still a little sore from yesterday, and I had lots of walking, maneuvering on uneven terrain...

The Schonstedt is the industry standard for surveying. We have a few of them, but they're all broken. Currently using a SubsurfaceInstruments locator. More comfortable to hold, but doesn't work quite as well. Dunno how they compare to other options for finding steel in wood, but they're quite...

Didn't do much today. Did a small job, played on the computer, and split wood. The consignment shop had an 017 that looked like NOS from the picture, but it said it had a new carb :shrugs: They wanted way too much for it; $175. For $25 more you could get a brand new 170. It sold quick...

Ya know, it really isn't that big a deal. All the bug pieces that get eaten every year and you never even know it. Change the molecules around, and it could be a bacon cheeseburger. Problem is, I know it, and I don't like maggot looking moth larvae :^D

No, I'm not. I thought that and a pantry moth were the same, but an image search says that's incorrect. They were pantry moths. I hate those things. They get everywhere, and are hard to fully eradicate. I've had two infestations so far, and it's taken years each time to get rid of them all...
