A 395 nestView attachment 205655

How did she run? Is that the one you just built?

 

[CrystalRiver1]

I got my 026 from my neighbor, it came with a 3/8-20”, it pulled it, I really like it with 3/8-16”

What was the biggest difference between the 3/8 vs .325?

Yes it is. Runs good lots of torque need to rig up a 50 and give it whirl

Do not even want to imagine the sting from that thing. Still getting over the last nest i stumbled into!

3/8’s takes a bigger bite, and has a wider spacing between teeth, .325 is smoother but dulls slightly faster, for me the 3/8 is slightly faster than .325 even with an 8 pin. The .325 8t 18” bar I put on an 024 for my dad, it dose great, just seems like I have to keep up on the chain more. And I got 2 16” 3/8 bars for free, so I tested it out

Arlo going as a white walker for samhainView attachment 205618

Just a little public service announcement;

Samhain, the Celtic New Year, is a fire festival. Here in Ireland there are bon fires everywhere. So much so, the local councils have massive clean ups(and complaints) afterwards. So smashed pumpkins are the least of our worries. I thought bon fire was a french derivative - it's actually of Irish origin; Bone Fire.

Samhain is based on the lunar calendar - the halfway point between the solstices. Here it is a 3 day festival. The fire was for purification. There are fireworks here for 3 days straight. All day, all night. Some of them sound rather dangerous. Fireworks are illegal here due to Samhain and the amputations, lost eyes,lost fingers, lost children, lost pets, etc they have caused in the past. And yet this tiny island has no problems providing them in huge quantities.

Samhain is pronounced 'sow when'. When the Irish were finally free to Anglicize their language, in typical Irish fashion, they got creative with it. Partly to shun the British, partly because their home language simply does not have the same sounds English has. The Irish accent is not simply a dialect, it is due to the differences between the Irish language and English. If one does not pronounce Samhain with an Irish accent, one is not saying the word correctly.

Jack 'O Lantern. Jack Of The lantern. Looks Irish as well, right? The Lantern was forced upon Jack to carry as a warning to others that though he wasn't in hell, he was still a member of the underworld, and not to be trusted. You see, Jack had tricked the devil many times to avoid going to hell. In the early days of transference between the old pagan rituals and the new Christian rituals, the stories were often a thinly veiled push back upon Catholicism. To this day, though Ireland is considered Catholic, the old rituals are still here(so much so you have them there stateside). They live side by side on the isle, always have and always will.

Here's a Wiki entry that does the story justice:

As the story goes, several centuries ago amongst myriad towns and villages in Ireland, there lived a drunkard known as "Stingy Jack". Jack was known throughout the land as a deceiver and manipulator. On a fateful night, Satan overheard the tale of Jack's evil deeds and silver tongue. Unconvinced (and envious) of the rumours, the devil went to find out for himself whether or not Jack lived up to his vile reputation.

Typical of Jack, he was drunk and wandering through the countryside at night when he came upon a body on his cobblestone path. The body, with an eerie grimace on its face, turned out to be Satan. Jack realized somberly this was his end; Satan had finally come to collect his malevolent soul. So Jack made a last request: he asked Satan to let him drink ale before he departed to Hades. Finding no reason not to acquiesce the request, Satan took Jack to the local pub and supplied him with many alcoholic beverages. Upon quenching his thirst, Jack asked Satan to pay the tab on the ale, much to Satan's surprise. Jack convinced Satan to metamorphose into a silver coin with which to pay the bartender. Satan did so, impressed upon by Jack's unyielding nefarious tactics. Shrewdly, Jack stuck the now transmogrified Satan (coin) into his pocket, which also contained a crucifix. The crucifix's presence kept Satan from escaping his form. This coerced Satan to agree to Jack's demand: in exchange for Satan's freedom, he had to spare Jack's soul for ten years.

Ten years later to the date when Jack originally struck his deal, he naturally found himself once again in Satan's presence. Jack happened upon Satan in the same setting as before and he seemingly accepted it was his time to go to Hades for good. As Satan prepared to take him to hell, Jack asked if he could have one apple to feed his starving belly. Foolishly Satan once again agreed to this request. As Satan climbed up the branches of a nearby apple tree, Jack surrounded its base with crucifixes. Satan, frustrated at the fact that he had been entrapped again, demanded his release. As Jack did before, he made a demand: that his soul never be taken by Satan into Hades. Satan agreed and was set free.

Eventually the drinking took its toll on Jack, and he died. Jack's soul prepared to enter Heaven through the gates of St. Peter, but he was stopped. And Jack was told by God that because of his sinful lifestyle of deceitfulness and drinking, he was not allowed into Heaven. Jack then went down to the Gates of Hell and begged for admission into the underworld. Satan, fulfilling his obligation to Jack, could not take his soul. To warn others, he gave Jack an ember, marking him a denizen of the netherworld. From that day on until eternity's end, Jack is doomed to roam the world between the planes of good and evil, with only an ember inside a hollowed turnip to light his way.

Basically, Jack was sort of a Leprechaun origin story.

Hope you all enjoyed your Samhain.

Our wood stove sits up there. Gives it a little height and keeps the smaller children from being able to touch the stove.

I dont think so. Squirrels tend to be louder with faster movements, but opinions vary.
