Not So Pro 3

I figured you might know, a ballpark.

New Stihl dealer near me has two 261C's on the shelf with price tag of $419 on them, seems super cheap to me. I think they have the wrong bar code on them or something? I even had a worker scan it to verify, yep he said computer shows $419.

better buy them both
that was 10 year ago prices they are about 600 now the last i checked

That sounds stupid cheap.

I bought a new one threw MM in 2013 or 2014, think it was around 500 then?

I don't pay much attention to new saw prices last year or so, but it seems IIRC last 261 I saw at a another dealer last year or so was close to 700?

Dealer I was at today is a box store that just opened in the last few months, they seem to have a error in the bar code system/price.

Hello jackwagons. Had a great weekend running saws, talking saws, and eating good. To top it off, shortly after my son and I got home, the neighbor across the street got home from an elk hunt in Alberta and didn’t have enough freezer space, so we offered to store some until he found another solution. He told us in the meantime to eat as much as we want. So tonight we had elk burgers and elk backstrap steaks. Great way to wrap up this fun weekend.

At least 200.00 too low.

Heck of a place to pull over and take a siesta on a Sunday, because you've partied your ass off all weekend.

Chick could not even talk straight, let alone stand. She was trying to sleep it off, on the passengers side with her feet propped up on the door.

When I pulled over to see if she was broken down or had a flat. She had no bidness driving as far as she did.

Quick follow up. I did call the sheriff when I was there. She had no business being on the road, and a quick nap was not going to sober her up.

I don't like ratting or narking on people. My gut told me to call LE.

If nothing else for the safety of other motorists on the road.

Weren’t you just saying the other day how your boat was drifting in the currents and you needed more anchors?

Driving home today something hit the windshield breaking it. The Yukon XL has less than 5k miles on it.
Sounded like a gunshot when it broke.
Guess it's time for Safelite it come to my door.

Had another lightheaded event yesterday, I had not eaten anything before installing a chartplotter in a boat and just after completing the install i got lightheaded for 15min or so. After about 30 min i was fine.
I have to start eating on a schedule i guess. Blood pressure meds/gettin old ain't for sissies.

eating a little bit before doing stuff has kept the lightheadedness away for me

I just got off the stationary bike doing 2 miles, BP was fine even during ride and HR was 125 so i was breathing hard but i felt fine during and after the ride. The only consistant thing about the 2 lightheadedness things is not eating. I usually don't eat much breakfast but i take the pills in the morning. Tomorrow i will eat good early then try the bike ride.

Take care of myself? Hell i quit all the bad stuff years ago No smokes, alcohol, drugs, even sex lately.

Breakfast before meds.

The wife said she would start cooking me breakfast if i got all the stuff cleaned up in the garage/backyard.
She will keep me alive that long at least.
