Busted!
Busted!
Volly fire service folks are heaven sent. Good on ya bro.What an afternoon: Red Flag warning as stated earlier today - pager goes off at 4:14pm of a cornfield on fire and it’s heading towards the woods.. Got to the station and geared up to fight a wild fire - then a second page comes through with more information that a tractor is also engulfed… switch out gear and head ti the scene.. Myself and a younger member of the dept focused on the tractor while the rest of our dept and a neighboring dept focused on the wildfire.. great team effort had it all under control in about 1 1/2-2 hours. Could have been a lot worse. Very windy with low humidity today. Another red flag warning issued for tomorrow already.. Anyways, g’night gang.
That's Randy & Larry's band!Y'all better tell these that they're mistaken too then....

I was angling towards getting a V2 MS261C I had at the time ported, but Kevin @huskihl talked me into getting a NE346XP ported.
Keep the wet and nasty down there. I need more goldwing weatherMornin’ knuckle ballers…60 to 71 and rain, rain, rain. Dids I mentioned the wet *s-wordt?
I have a Mofo 036 so that puts the 034 out.The 034S is light as hell for a 60cc saw. Will run a 24" 3/8 in stock form.
The 026 is a great light saw....but look for a PRO version if possible.
Or.....the 346XP is another fine choice.
Let me think on it a bit.I have a 346xp OE that is in pieces and ready to rebuild with a used 42mm cylinder and piston. I have a bunch of new parts and stuff to put it all back together. It will not be a shelf queen, just a nice work saw. Just the way you like them.
Thought about that.SOLD - Jonsered 2150
Jonsered 2150, this was going to be my 346 conversion but oh well. 45mm top end, I put a good used low hour OEM flat top 2152 piston in it. I swapped out the coarse thread bearing cut for a fine thread, filed a slot for the future 346 impulse. Base gasket delete, timing advance, muffler mod, new...opeforum.com
I know a guy in NJ that can make a really ripping 024 for you. The lead time might not be appealing though.
Thank you. When my wife and I moved to town, we didn’t know anybody. I joined up about a year later and we got to know quite a few families because of the “brotherhood” so to speak. It been a learning experience for sure - I grew up just outside a city with a full time dept on hand, so I took it for granted until I learned what was needed in a rural town like this. Lots of laughs and memories because of the decision to join - no regrets!Volly fire service folks are heaven sent. Good on ya bro.
Bluegrass MUSIC. Yeah.Y'all better tell these that they're mistaken too then....

Talked to a group of volunteer firefighters who came here to put out a fire recently, that said they were getting old, and having trouble getting younger help. It's good to see you stepping up.What an afternoon: Red Flag warning as stated earlier today - pager goes off at 4:14pm of a cornfield on fire and it’s heading towards the woods.. Got to the station and geared up to fight a wild fire - then a second page comes through with more information that a tractor is also engulfed… switch out gear and head ti the scene.. Myself and a younger member of the dept focused on the tractor while the rest of our dept and a neighboring dept focused on the wildfire.. great team effort had it all under control in about 1 1/2-2 hours. Farmer was stalk chopping and a bearing must have failed in the driveshaft causing a “thermal event” and the guy was driving around his field lighting fire wherever he went for a bit before he realized it and got it shut down. Could have been a lot worse though.. Very windy with low humidity today. Another red flag warning issued for tomorrow already.. Anyways, g’night gang.
That's crazy. It was in the upper 70s here yesterday.Good morning fellas. Was supposed to operate some heavy equipment today to help my buddy, but that got canceled until further notice.. 51 now and headed to 81 again they say.
Supposedly it hit 88 here yesterday, which was about 4-5* higher than expected! It was HOT!
