After many years of working farther and farther out from town, our local (and sole) phone and internet service provider is now pushing underground fiber optic lines down our road. Out my way, each property is on acreage; some large ones, and some small. Ours is one of the little ones, at 5...

I know these are on the older side, but they still are fine machines with a great power to weight ratio. Just north of Portland, OR a short distance. https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/tls/d/kelso-stihl-044/7827273159.html

I ran across this ad on craigs list, located a little bit north of Seattle. I know nothing of the seller. That is a pretty high price for so elderly a saw, seems to me. But the saw looks to be in decent shape, so if you have your heart set on a 200T, might be worth a look...

M and I have recently returned from a 3-day excursion to Yachats, on the central OR coast, for the expressed purpose of watching very high tides and storm surge break on some of the most picturesque stretches of rocky coastline anywhere. Here are some pictures...duh :D.

On our recent trip M and I really enjoyed several day hikes in the general area of Tuolumne Meadow and the east end of The Tioga Pass Rd. Pothole Dome, the T. Meadow and T. River, Lembert Dome, Dog Lake, Gaylor Lakes and Granite Lakes. Gorgeous high elevation classic Sierra Nevada mountains...

Up on Craigs List, NW Washington. Look pretty nice. No connection to me. https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/grd/d/sandy-crosscut-saws/7722346799.html

I ran across this on Craigs List. I know nothing of the builder, but the saw is handsome to look at :). https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/tls/d/shelton-stihl-ms440-chainsaw-outlaw/7707774096.html

I've been having some discomfort splitting firewood with my old reliable 6 pound maul, since my arthritis is buggering my hands and wrists up pretty much all the time now. In an effort to find a more comfortable time of splitting, I dug out the axe I inherited from my father when he passed in...

I think so...I have two friends that each are having a full hip replacement done this week. That's a good thing for them, in my experience...mine has been a true life changing benefit for a dozen years or so now. Both are having surgeons who do this prosthesis installation by a new surgical...

Today I was buzzing up some limbs and such for the woodpile with my 200 rear handle. After a while, needed fuel and oil plus a small adjustment to tighten the chain. I loosened the bar nut, then as I attempted to insert the scrench into the bar adjuster screwhead I was stymied by a bit of...

I'm having a hard time believing it's not a scam, or stolen. https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/grd/d/portland-chainsaw/7642571839.html

Finally getting to these pictures, after the bout with covid and a bunch of other stuff :)...life does go on. Link to the first thread on our Idaho trip in September: Back from Idaho | The Tree House (masterblasterhome.com) Lots of pictures, probably too many, but you know how to ignore an...

Had a great trip but had to cut it somewhat short due to wildfires, smoky air, and forecast wet weather coming up in the mountains. Unfortunately, a couple of days after we returned, I came down with covid. M is still well. Isolating in a single room with attached bath or being outdoors on...

Anyone know a source? Aftermarket, most likely. This 361 is the only saw I have aside from the 200 rear handle and 200T with standard half wrap handle. I'm a big fan of 3/4 or full wrap handles on saws, as many of you will recall. 3/4 wrap from Stihl was not an option for this saw when I...

Yesterday M, myself, and our best friends couple took a day trip to Silver Falls State Park. It had been many a year since we'd hiked there. Super weather, sunny and mid 60's. Picnic lunch, and then a stop on the way home at the Mt. Angel sausage shop/restaurant for brats and beer outside in...

I've been shopping for a replacement 20 inch bar for my MS361. I am really running into limited availability for a stock oem Rollomatic E. I'd also thought that I'd look at the lightweight version...even less available and the cost is over the moon in any event. So I'm looking for options and...

Chanced across this ad. Not mine! Listed in Hood River, OR. Maybe someone might be interested... Chainsaw chains - farm & garden - by owner - sale (craigslist.org)

My lovely lady took her XC skis out for a turn yesterday. One of the very few things my orthopedic surgeon strongly recommended against was skiing, not that skiing is hard on artificial hip joints, but rather that falling is high risk for dislocations...so I watched and smiled, while cursing...

I was perusing old threads and came across this one...closing in on 10 years ago. I found it pretty entertaining, to see what we were experimenting with then, and mentally comparing that with what we have as climbing tech today, in such a relatively short time. I think it's worth a read...in...

It came to my mind to toss this out there, from my safe rocker on the front porch :). Over the many years I climbed, and instructed climbers, it was a normal part of the hazard analysis to consider droughty weather as a factor that can/will increase the likelihood of limb and even stem...
