Just spoke with Joe and Sugar Creek Supply. Apparently, he almost died a couple of days ago from cellulitis in his leg. He had a rash and decided to go to the ER one night. If he hadn't, the doc said he would have been dead the next morning from sepsis. Glad he's ok!

I had a 560 coil lying around, but from 2013 while this one has a 2017 coil.
But, now I have spark, so it seems that the 10 hour coil had a grudge against me.
Anyway, I'll go to Evje to buy a new coil, give the customer what he deserves.

The more experience I gain, the more aware I become that seemingly trivial stuff can kill you dead as Dillinger.

Go to urgent care or er when anything seems wrong. And especially if you're over 40, that annual checkup can find all kinds of stuff that's trying to kill you.

Thus endeth the sermon. Please keep yourself alive, because I'd be so bored without you guys!

My forest is not as big trees as yours, you can do all the felling with 50-70cc here.
Now that I'm older, I just want something that is light with as little vibration as possible, and then it's mostly modern saws that are king.

I love my 242's but my elbows definitely don't like them, I'm keeping them because they are the ones I've always loved everything about, symbolic value to me.

The 346's are one that my elbows can handle, and can do most of the work, I prefer them over the 550's.

Now I bought a 540xp mk3 with rear handle to do something the 242 did, and will invest in a 564xpg to do what the 254, 262 and 560 did.

Already got rid of a 42 a 254 and a 560, and more are leaving me.

I'm going to keep the super rare ones, a 133SG that I'm going to try to get back to original will be here, the 40 from 78 is a rarity, and the 444SG in the condition it is in is rarity, I'm going to keep those.
I don't need any of them, or have used them, but I'm going to keep them because they have little economic value.
Honestly I'm immune to the so called 2 series vibrations
About 40 year's running numbed me I guess
My knees are deteriorating
Everything else still good so far.
I still use a 70cc saw for everything always have
I did pick up a neotec echo 2511 clone recently it's fine for brushing.
Locally there is virtually no value to my vintage oem Husqvarna's
The china stuff has no resale value I knew that when I bought them
Still enjoying the ported g288 it's one of my favorites.
I asked my nieces,great nieces, nephews,great nephew's
If they wanted guns or chainsaws or both when I'm gone
One great nephew wants some saws he's pretty good I've worked with him cutting.
He bought a damn Stihl assisted start 251c tool less chain adjust piece of *s-word.
The girls don't like saws for some reason
I don't know why.
Probably stack everything In the corner of my shop that's what my logger cousin has done since the 70s
Let somebody else deal with it.

Evening Richard’s. Trailer is loaded and ready to point northeast to Wisconsin tomorrow around 5. Should be a great time. Marc had the audacity to make it rain while I was getting the jeep tied down on the trailer. I’m not looking forward to the games he has planned for me tomorrow. Hopefully he lets me have safe travels this weekend. We chatted at the dealer tonight about him. They plan to have a picture of him at the event. I’ll have some words with him as I really miss him. So much I still needed to learn from him. I’ll continue to do my best in his absence. Hope everyone has a great Father’s Day this weekend.
