For Stock Rigs Only

?

 

Stihl MS261? I thought I remembered you having one.

 

025, great saw , probably 20 years old or more

 

Had a 14" 025 older than that. Great pruning saw till the recoil got destroyed.
Old timey Stihl shop near my work place went through a ton of old parts bins with no luck. Nothing online, so out it went.

 

Well,I got a start , guy at the Stihl dealer said keep this one running as long as you can. He’s going to go through it and hopefully fix the bar oil leak .

 

New wall going up at an existing client...




This is the work we finished two years ago...

 

Very cool. Wierd thing to tweek over, but as a kid, my Dad wired us to love rock walls. His grandfather was a stone mason/quarry worker. When his Dad built the family home just before WWII, he was a child and watched as his dad and Pépère build a wall much like that. Then when I was kid, he would put cobblestone walks and small raised flowerbeds/foundation planting, built from stone, all over our property.

Anyway, much respect. Good way to spend your time, in my view.

 

Thanks! We've been training with an offshoot of the British Dry Stone Wall Association, learning traditional dry stone techniques for a few years. There's another group, Dry Stone Conservancy, out of Kentucky, that does similar stuff. We really like it and it adds a lot of options to what we offer clients in terms of hardscape features, plus we can wall in the winter when we can't do flat work or plants.

Anyone can do it, you don't have to be big and strong. We did a training in central PA last year with the only female DSWA Master in North America, and she's one of the smallest adults I've ever met.

 

Reminds me my inspection is due next month. Truck goes in for a 6mo oil change next week. Sucks I can't get it inspected there as it's in a different state

 

@FlyingWolfe Happy Birthday Crystal

 

If they didn’t leak, they wouldn’t lube the chain..

 

I’m pretty sure this is a non factory leak, the bottom of the saw case is a towel soaked with oil. Wait, it’s a conspiracy by Stihl to make me buy more oil . Morning Mike

 

lol

Morning sir.

 

It’s Sparkies birthday today! Happy Birthday Crystal, @FlyingWolfe , enjoy the day!

 

Happy Birfday @FlyingWolfe !

 

I always wondered if this could happen.

 

Um boss, I was checking the dipstick and forgot to put the e brake on.
