Yeah I ended up going to Bobs place because I needed some parts for my 385 in the vid like an air filter. You'd think they'd carry at least spare air filters at the dealers around here in ct but I called around and ZERO of them had anything lol. Pretty unbelievable and they wanted me to drive 30 min to the place to pay for the damn filter waste my gas and charge me 30$ for the filter not including tax. I called up Bob and he said he has a bunch of them. I decided why not ride up and check out Bob's shop and I needed the parts for the saw, and a nice road trip into mountains in upstate NY? Bob was a awesome dude and his knowledge of saws is unbelievable. He charged 18 bucks a piece for two filters, pretty much what I'd pay for one filter. Great deal. He gave me a cool husky hat and we were talking and he said come to my back shop and gave me a few builder 350's and a 51 special that needed a little work. Awesome projects, should keep me busy rest of winter. Bob has a customer for life

I can't wait to get back up there and visit again! My oldest daughter moved from Pittsburgh to Lake Katrine NY. Found out she is about 20 minutes from Bob's shop. Next time I visit her I'm going to keep a couple hour block of time to go and hang out at the shop. When I was there I was amazed at what he had in Stock. Bought a bunch of parts for my 272xp project. Also picked up a Stihl bar that looked out of place hanging on his wall. He did give me a couple things just for stopping in but I'm not supposed to share what it was! Really wanted to take a 2260 home with me!Yeah I ended up going to Bobs place because I needed some parts for my 385 in the vid like an air filter.
