Just bought another one on sale from Bruce.;)

A buddy of mine is an arborist and gave a ported 2511 a try. He didn’t like it. Said it was too light and didn’t keep from chattering in hard wood. He was running it with a 14” bar (prefers 16” on a 200T) and said it had good power but didn’t have the “Fatass” that the heavier weight 200/201 has for letting the saw do its work without applying effort.

I bet its tip heavy! I can't imagine using one with a 14" bar. Mines got a 12" on it and I'm considering a 10" carving bar. It's not a replacement for a 200/201. I use it for pruning. The 201t I use for removals. Iirc the stock stihl 10" power pruner bar is a direct fit but don't quote me on that. Tell him to use whatever stihl chain fits the bar. That will cure the oregon pxl/exl chatter. I forget what they call it in stihleese but it's more better gooder.

I recommended switching to 1/4” but he was having none of it. He made up his mind I guess. The 2511 comes stock with 12 or 14” bar, and to be honest I thought (its been awhile since I played with one) it was reasonably balanced even with a 14.

Midea makes a mini split window shaker that looks legit:

If I didn't have central ac I'd probably have a couple.
That's sweet!!!

We've never had air conditioning.
I remember a house we lived in we had windows units, mom wouldn't let us use them.

Me now in my house, you better bring a snuggie cuz you can snap an icicle of the ceiling

Dammit Tim.

Political bs.

i recommended this but he was having none of it. People like what they like and are entitled to their opinions. I may not agree with his opinion, but I won’t discount it either. As for me? I would look into a 16” 1/4” b/c for a 2511 just to see for myself how it would do. Maybe sometime in the future.....

Morning guys.

So about '03 or '04 my cousin invited me to join him and a couple buddies on a fishing week in Ontario. We over-night road tripped it up to Lake Biscotasing. The last two hours were dirt roads, starting with the widest, most perfectly crowned strip of gravel I've still ever been on and finishing with 35 minutes of two track with grass growing in the middle. Beautiful country, but absolute BFE. It ended at a little village on the lake, with just a store and a dozen or so houses. All of the access to the few cottages/cabins on the huge lake was by boat, including our lodge. We went into the store, which had your usual assortment of essentials, and a huge stack of cases of Carling(any relation @cus_deluxe ?) beer in the middle of the room. Doing as the Romans, we loaded a couple cases and our gear on the lodge pontoon when it arrived. After a couple days of great fishing and even more BSing, we're out of beer. We boat back to the store only to find it closed. Yup, Canada Day. Darkness is falling and we're wracking our brains for the solution to this crises. One of us remembers the stacks of Carling cases at "the bait man"'s house a few places down where we'd bought minnows the first day. We had all noticed the softball hiding under his shirt but had only guessed at what it could be. Modern medical care probably wasn't real high on these folks' list and the closest hospital was hours away down in Sudbury. It's after dark now, so I'm voted to run up to his house. His "bait shop" is the attached front porch/three season's room. I knock. And knock. No response. Then I see something out of the corner of my eye. His head is poked around the corner of the porch seeing who it is. "Hey buddy, how's it going". He reluctantly steps around the corner. After some negotiation I talk him out of a case of beer at an extorted price.

Here's the reason I always vividly remember this every time I hear "Canada Day". I caught him late, and he had no shirt on. The lump we'd noticed earlier is now exposed and looks like what I can best describe as a pound of ground beef tightly wrapped in wet parchment paper. I'll never forget it.

Safe lifting techniques at all times boys. Don't over-do it.
my brother went to that very same lake a number of years ago with one of his former teachers. he said it was pretty awesome
