Randy’s Engine Repair

[Maintenance Chief]

I was looking for OEM Mac 10 Series fuel lines. Eventually got them from Pogo here.

I miss chatting with Pogo, he was a good fellow.

Warped Humor in RETURN.
The older I get the crankier I get when
A- I Can't understand the person answering my call
B- I have to endure the introductory "Get your FLU Shot or whatever is relevant to them that wastes my time
C- It takes 20 minutes of pecking around their website to find their PH # then get ran around the ringer and finally get a HUMAN with out a brain.
D- Like ANSWER.COM You are in a never ending rabbit hole... Just a closed loop operated by A I and designed to never get any results.
E- I get put on hold with a mix of static and elevator music then the call gets dropped after 10 or 20 minutes.
The wurst result is when I get hold of someone on the first ring and find out I WAS JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS..

I still like using the phone. I will be talking to folks in Canada after lunch

Are you crazy? That’s a long distance call!

I am with you, I prefer the old school conversation BUT the other end of the line is changing and I don't feel it is for the better.

Hopefully on their dime or there is money in the air.

I am definitely from a time when it was local, toll free or bust

I hate talking on the phone. That's why I still don't have a cell phone.

I actually had to buy a watch this year, because no-one puts up clocks anymore...

How much do you pay per month TOTAL for unlimited calling to the US and Canada?.....

If you hate talking on the phone then with all due respect I wonder how you run a business? I am just the other side of the Amish, Mennonite, and Apostolic. I will assure you all talk on the phone.

$50.00 for me.

He passed. Mark had a post about it a while back.

Thread 'Poge Smit'

Mar 26, 2025

I received a call on Sunday that Poge Smit (PogoInTheWood) had passed away after a brief battle with cancer.

Many of you will be familiar with Poge, as he was a great source of information and real world experience with our chainsaw questions.

That's an easy one to answer...I don't.

I think that doing so without a phone would be impossible these days. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that are getting harder to do without a cell phone...

Oh man, that stinks.

He would call once in awhile for saw parts and we'd always have a nice chat.

Well that sucks, this is the first I've heard of this. He and I were going to meet up more than once, but for one reason or another it never happened. It was fun to read his replies on posts. I know he was in hard times just before being able to get Social Security and was living off his savings until he could get his SS. That was about one of our last conversations we had a few years back. I also lost another buddy that passed around the same time as Poge. Been a tough year.
