When Neil Armstrong returned from the moon, one of the first things the reporters asked him was, "How was the food up there on the moon?" He replied, "Well, the food up there tasted surprisingly good, but the place lacked atmosphere." :sconf:

One of my favorite 350 mods using a part that I stole from a 353 and mounted on a 350 with muff mounts that kept loosening up. I cut off the right side leg that was not needed and rounded it off with a file. No loosening up after that.

Hmmm... Is there a chance he was actually your dog's Veterinarian? Just curious. :rolleyes: :p

Last week I was having my annual physical exam. The cute nurse in the Doc's office was carrying a red pen. She said, "Well guy, every now and then I have to draw blood." :)

I decided to write a book about using wood glue to assemble shop-made furniture. But, I got stuck on the first sentence! :sconf:

Neither can I. Here's a Pic of the Stihl 084 I shipped to Australia 10 years ago: This saw is a classic and to my knowledge the Aussies still love it. I never told them that a Husky 394 would run about even with it.

Where do older members of this forum and Dads keep their jokes for future use? ans. In a Dad-A-Base

Yesterday I sold my old vacuum cleaner that wasn't running quite right. In fact, it was just collecting dust.

I've been told by Floridians that I can best cook alligator meat by slow cooking it in a crock pot. ;)

Tank vent may be OK. Could be the linkage from the throttle is providing a goose to the carburetor. Check the trigger connection also. Carb replacement might be needed. The 290 has been around quite a while.

I save $10 apiece and make my own in the shop out of hardwood or sometimes plexiglass: It's a little tricky and sometimes I make two because they will eventually wear out.

I'm really impressed. You have more hardwood biomass there than last year and that was huge. Gasp!

As you probably already know, if you cut logs to length and wait a few months until the elm checks up on the ends, the logs will split much easier. That paper birch will split almost immediately. Nice freebees, Stephie! :D
