    Flying plenty here. Corporate America is moving like crazy. Flew my C140 about 3 weeks ago. Actually looking forward to the Holiday break that typically slows us down. We just finished board meetings this week which equals a lot of wind screen time.

    For years in these parts, Elm was passed on by a lot of folks for firewood because it sucked to split. Enter hydraulics. A 34 ton cylinder could care less if it’s a bit stubborn and stringy. It burns just fine. However, the smell is less than pleasant.

    And finally, haircuts in Hooterville are done on the deck in the summer months. Cleanup is a Stihl leaf blower. Your barber chair is a disc blade welded to well pipe (stay upwind as it’s typically galvanized) welded to an old steel horse drawn implement seat. Height is about right and it’s...

    Morning in Hooterville. A little exercise for the 260 as it is usually ignored in the summer months due to light wind and the only target being at 740 yards...

    It’s my belief (and I’m wrong a lot) if more young folks spent time doing this, or in the woods, etc... we’d have less problems now and in the future...

    Crescent moon 🌙 cuts I call those. The bar is worn where one side of the rail is higher than the other. Several ways to true one up or at least make it better. File, belt sander, etc... is what I’ve heard. Or, just put a new bar on and flip it periodically and it will typically stay pretty even.

    I wouldn’t know where to start to find a dealer for them here. I run Stihl only because of local dealer support. They actually call me every so often to see how their/my stuff is running. And, I’m a nobody in the tree business.

    Pulled dad out of his retirement home today and hauled him to the Iowa State Fair. Got him a scooter so we could cover more ground. Countless lives were saved using the same phrase over and over again...Dad STOP 🛑!!! Nice weather and he enjoyed the cattle barns and restored tractors.

    As we would say, he didn’t show up to “work”.

    Just the 18” bar that came with it. I think Stihl calls it a Lite, but it’s no Sugi.

    The 261 is a great saw. Mine is now 4 years old and has cut a fair amount of firewood. Handy for smaller work. I’ll let @oneshot86 provide the correct answer.

    That kid is half crazy, tough, and maybe not hooked up quite right. However, he’s got big balls. At my age, I believe I’d skip the hands on monkey business and give that Badger a payload of 4 Buck out of an 1187.

    We didn’t get our late July/early August dry spell to give use a reprieve from mowing, spraying, and trimming. This is 2/3 of an acre I keep down with a Bush Hog type rotary cutter. The berm at 11 o’clock is for the 100 yard range...rule #4.
