Hey guys and gals,
Just thought I would introduce myself to a great forum full of great people and a wealth on information.
I have been a lurker for along time, I don't do any social media stuff, this forum is the closest I get. lol
My name is Ryan and I live in the foothills of the Mt hood National forest(Oregon)and I feel very fortunate for that, just minutes away from old growth and second growth stands of timber. I am married with two great kids which we all love the outdoors . I share the same passion for chainsaws , 2 strokes, logging, iron slinging and just figuring stuff out myself like most people on this forum. I have been a Diesel mechanic for the past twenty years, mostly working on anything with a Cat engine in it, love those Cats and Petes. I got started in the chainsaw addiction phase shortly after I pulled a 031 out of my dads trash can one weekend 15 years ago , he said it quit running and he threw it away. I converted the points over to electronic ignition and gave it back to him for several more years of service. If I could go back in time I would have way more garage space , more money and a wife that understands if I had just left the 031 alone that day. From that point on I have been addicted to saws and have acquired more than I can keep track of, I still love the sickness , my wife will never get it and now my 12 year old daughter gives me a hard time(okay maybe I am a hoarder). I spend a lot of time cutting firewood and doing tree jobs on the side when not spending time with the family. I have dealt with a few people on this site with parts interactions.
Thanks to all who contribute all the info to the site and sarcasm, its great.
Here is a couple photos from wood cutting this summer in the upper Clackamas with my father inlaw , these are windfalls which we use for firewood, love the Buckskins.
