I stopped in at the local stihl dealer that usually doesn’t have any saws bigger than a ms362 on the shelf and I thought I was seeing things when there was a 500i sitting on the shelf. They said it was the first one they’ve gotten in over a year and they just put it out. I bought it.

I don’t even need it but I think I just bought it because it was the first one I’ve seen that I could buy. I knew I’d regret leaving without it.

What I'm trying to buy is 5 acres of woods .Auction next door today . Tall big mature oaks ,what Ohio used to look like a couple hundred years ago .I gotta get it before some timber jockey snatchs it .It took over 250 years to grow those things .It's only money and after a period of time it's just shifting from the bank to the land as the price will never go down .Land is almost like the stock market .If you don't spend the dividends it's passive accumulation of wealth but on both you have to pay a certain amount of taxes. Property or income tax .My estate is only going to go two places so my kids can deal with that and do as they please .

Well I was the last bidder although it went a little higher than I thought it would .I saved it from the timber cutters .This is what most of Ohio looked like a 150 years ago .Those oaks are most likely 200 plus years old and the thought of them being turned into oak plywood in China I just could not let happen .Deer,eagles ,red fox and all kinds of critters roam around .I've seen what a woods looks like after it's been clear cut and this close to my home I just had to go for .Besides that land is one thing they just don't make any more of .

A lot ,77 grand .I didn't think it would fetch more than 50 but missed it .I was bidding against land speculators and a couple of veneer cutters who most likely set the price ,They are just like machinery jockies ,after it gets within 30 percent of what it might be worth they stop raising their hands .Many of them would have to run it through a bank .I don't .
Ohio white oak is some of the best in the world ,You've got possibly 5o-60 feet of clear log most of it would be peelers veneer logs .A cutter would would clear cut it then peddle the land for maybe 45-50 grand for a building site .I looked up the stumpage rates and it's gone through the roof but in my life time they will never be cut .Nor will I have neighbors pestering me .That's worth something .:)
