How's it going Steve? Everything has been going pretty good here.Sup Mike? How the family been?
It's been a crazy winter. Just two weeks ago was two wheel weather, and now right back to winter. Everything has been pretty good. Working on getting my 394 broke in. How are you doing Jason?Blah, can’t like that. If I don’t get out on 2 wheels soon, I’m a loose my chit! How’s you Mike?

Nothing really big, but did mill some pine the other day. Tried uploading pics but it's not working right now. I'm running a long 36 on it. It's a 119 driver bar could actually use another link honestly. I have probably 10 tanks through it now. It took almost a tank per slab, but they were 10 foot long.Not bad.

Shouldn't take long to break it in? Have you got it in any big wood yet? I just milled with mine for the first time since port work. Hoorey sheet, she drinks now! I keep lowering and lowering the rakers…
Be careful with all the craziness going on. Hopefully it's not the virus.My daughter has the flu. I have some ailment going on. But otherwise above ground!

Whole tank per slab on pine! Wow. That oak I milled took a tank on the center cut but the chain was blunt. Just shy of 10' and about 20"wide. How ya like filing on the mill? I hate it. Course I'm using a double bevel. You? And I'm not tryin' to be a jack wagon but watch the fines on that low top set-up. I couldn't get mine to stop takin' some in.Nothing really big, but did mill some pine the other day. Tried uploading pics but it's not working right now. I'm running a long 36 on it.

I refuse to file on the mill. A little of that goes a long ways lol. I just take the saw off the mill. Yeah I'm still running the saw pretty fat, so it's going through some fuel for sure. I put a felt filter in the low top, and so far it's been good. I haven't messed with square filing for probably 6 months. Just got burned out on hitting metal.Whole tank per slab on pine! Wow.
