Freshly serviced chainsaw. Three sharp chains. New can fulla stabilized mix gas. Lots of mix oil, lots of bar oil. Priceless.
Speaking of which, in addition to keeping me warm this winter the little girl's gonna make me a little money this autumn.

I probably spend more time with the chain saws than the guns, and I suspect that when the SHTF, I'll find the saws more useful.
Thought you had a Stihl, Joel... Nice bar cover though.
That's a funny looking nozzle on the fuel container. I had to replace my container a couple years ago and noticed a slightly less obtrusive modification to the new dispenser. A quick check verified that the threads on my old plain nozzle fit the newer container - so I switched 'em and tossed the newfangled nozzle along with the split old container. (I'm sure - just like when I tore the tags off my futon - that I broke a handful of federal regulations with that move - in addition to totally fubarring my opsec in this public admission. C'est la guerre...)
My favorite fuel container is about 60yo - came with an old car a relative gave me. It still gets double takes from people when I use it - but it's leak-free and built for the long haul!
Went and looked at the woodpile a few days ago - what a mess. I figure I'll let it cool off a bit before poking around in there - the rattlers might be more sluggish. Hard to hear their warning with the saw running!
Thanks Uncle Joel.

I guess it is time to do a little tune up on my saw.
I have two chains that need to be "professionally sharpened" and I need the plug, filter and fuel line replaced.
Now I need to find the $30 dollars to do all of this.
And the weather is still in triple digits.
BUT I will have a nice running "sharp" saw when the cold does come. ;^# {big grin}
especially around chainsaws ...
stay safe,
gooch
