We're running metal sundayIMG_20201016_175629.jpg IMG_20201016_173753.jpgin the 60s my friend cut this house down the middle with a chainsaw
And moved it a half at a time 10 miles
And rebuilt it
Never had a porch
several generations
Of his family still live here.

So, I found a vintage saw. My favorite vintage saw. Made in 1976. Still new, in the shrink wrap, in the damn original box. I'm buying it tomorrow morning. I'm torn about it because I knows I needs to leave it as I get it but man I at least wanna take it out, assemble it and set it in my hobby room. I have three that are well used i can get me jollies off.
Poulan 76 model?

Not gonna run it....I think.
I was the first to start a homelite super xl
That hung from the ceiling in a hardware
Store for 30+ year's.
Fuel line was rotten that was it
Guy loves it.
Has the baffle muffler not a bad firewood saw at all
The earliest stack muffler xl12s were
Painful to run.

I don't know if I can bring myself to fire it. Getting it out and assembling for display is a different matter.

My Remington SL9 is an obnoxious mfer to run. No muffle to the box, just directs sound straight out.

She used cuts out ads or prints them off the internet
I don't know if she still does.
This was year's ago
And he had to get everything in the ads
For Christmas or her birthday.
It was comical watching him scramble to find stuff that kids and old women were
After too.

Back in the late 1980s my mother in law was collecting some silly plastic figurines from Hardees. She was working at the shirt factory and would stop in after work every day to see if the next one was available yet. And she managed to get all of them, except the first one in the set. She was pretty broke up about not being able to get this thing. So, as I was out working, I'd check different Hardees asking if they had this first one. Finally I found a manager who was willing to cut open the display in the lobby and give me the damn thing.

My wife and I gave her that for Christmas in 1988. You'd have thought we gave her a hunk of solid gold.

She died of cancer in 1990.

I couldn't take it outta the plastic. I just couldn't do it.

What a nice thing you did my friend. That will always be with you.

I don't think I can either. Guess I'll see when its in my possession.
