You aren’t lying. These cost about $15k for their last three years. My current dog got into rodenticide and that was close for $4k. At least we get our dogs used for free.View attachment 442789
A free dog is a rarity. In the early 1980s our Walker coon dogs were $400 and $600. Those were cheap ones. Many were $1000 up to $2000. The $400 one was lazy as sin. He was the only dog I have ever had to shoot. I want to be clear I did shoot him because he was lazy it was just the right thing to do. He was well aged and at the end of his life. I knew his time was coming but did not want to face it. We came home from a farm auction and he was laying in a water puddle with the melting snow coming of the machine shed roof falling on him. The river single six was in the truck from running traps and I just had to do it.

I didn't buy it today, but it was waiting for me on my porch when I got home from work.
I got one of those for my friend Rudy. Just a stock saw that he uses for keeping his 2 acre wooded lot underbrushed. He absolutely loves it.

Sorry I don't have a picture to post,

But today I just dropped 10k on a Funeral and all the works including the Casket but not the grave lots as we already had it nor the headstone which I will purchase later for my 59 year old wife who is in hospice (end of life) after battling a 3 year fight with stage 4 Breast. .

An Update: So it's been a while but I know you all need an up date on this, My wife passed away at 8:32pm on September 2 2024, I still have some bad days but it is starting to get better, we were married 38½ years so it's not easy going thru all her stuff. Thanks for all the kind words and prayers.

Keep your chin up Barn, remember all the good times before the bad showed up. As long as you had each other there ought to be a LOT of good times to recall!
Stay in touch with family and friends, it WILL do you a lot of good to reminisce together, and take care of your self first and foremost, I'm betting that's how she'd want it

Just tallied up my pre-season parts orders for next spring, $111,007.90 :oops:
As long as you are doing business that will make a good profit. Before Stihl corporate took a dump on the dealers here the profit was 100% on smalls and then of course dropped significantly as the prices increased

Not today but in the last week or so...
a $25 crushed 461, $30 crushed 461, last pic some new oem parts for the $25 461... the Gas tank is Chinese with Stihl parts. Saturday I'm picking up the new oem recoil assembly and clutch cover... I'm thinking I'll have $400 - $425 into the saw when it's finished.
The $30 saw needs a new Left Side case, tank, handle, top and side covers... I'll probably have close to $450 - $475 in it when that's done... and this weekend I'm picking up 1 maybe 2 other 461 parts saws.
