They were out but gave me a raincheck...for 40

Somewhere around here I had a Stihl sales book that pictured the 55 gallon drums of mix oil. I was always amazed by it

I remember in the 1970's Dad buying 55 gallon drums of 10/30 and 10/40 as prices were going up.

Yeah by the time we finished them it was cheaper by the quart.

With all due respect, I have to ask who in the hell is this "Dall" or "Dalas" character I keep hearing about? I have been here since March 2017 but was just hit and miss for years. I just got more active here after another site went "woke" and told me to pound salt. Since I have been here I hear a lot about "Dall" and "Dalas" but I am clueless.

I know. But I live further away

Seriously what the hell does your post mean? You quoted me and made a post that makes no sense. WTF

Went from 3.5 hours of cutting grass with a Sears Craftsman 42” with a 20hp twin cylinder Kohler motor, down to under an hour (including hosing off the entire machine, underdeck too) all put away.View attachment 431595

Now that's a mower. Been running a old 2003 48 inch tiger cub since......well 2003. 1800 hours strong. You won't need to buy another mower for a very very long time. Great investment!

It is funny you say raincheck. A couple weeks back I was going into the lumberyard and looking at the new sale ad that had just came out. They had 5 packs of electrical tape on sale. Yes, cheap arse tape chicom but for what I wanted it for it was fine. You could get a 5 pack of black or a 5 pack in 5 different colors. I wanted a few packs of the multi-colors as I use them for temporary labeling of wires. Well the sale had just started but the shelf was empty. I talked to a older gentleman probably in his mid 60's and he said he would ask his manager. The manager was probably 23 or so. He was playing on his phone thinga-ma-bobby and said well it says we have 22. I said great where are they. Of course he has no idea. By this time the older gentleman is off helping others. I just figure I will come back the next week. I come back the next week and still no tape. By now the sale will end before I get back there. Of course a few pennies of savings is not that important but principle is. I look around for the older guy as I know he will know what a raincheck is but he is not working. All I see is young folks. Now I like young folks too but does anyone really think they will know what a raincheck is. I could have reserved it online but then they charge $1.40 per item convivence fee.

So, I was out today, minding my own business...ok, went to look at a couple saws...and these things just jumped in my truck. Really...
Well, ok, there was a small exchange of cash...
$250

Both showed some stripes with the bore scope I brought but after pulling mufflers all looks good...even oe machining lines on the cylinders and great comp.

Score....

1st new saw for a long time I went with the big gun lol

Me old ms170 is well over a decade old though I better grab a replacement in case it craps it. I use em a lot no complaints with the old model.

Hope this replacement is as good 1st thing I'll do is dump the rubbish fuel and upgrade it to 3/8 low pro from the picco. The filter setup seems a lot better for those that worry about that type thing.
On paper the ms172 is a better buy than the ms162.

Years ago I said we need to ceramic tile every square foot of our rental houses. I was tired of ripping out carpet and vinyl when ignorant renters ruined it.

To this day the only house with ceramic I have is my own. Let me tell you glass does not bounce off it........I have tried

Big collector auction tomorrow. I am planning on going and coming home empty

 

[footstep]

Here's my score for the day, one of my customers is moving, this was her husband's tool box, she told her son to come take it, D-bag showed up raided the box, then told her take it to goodwill or dump it, she said if I want it load it up, so in the trailer it went.
