    What make do you have Andy? My Dad is thinking about getting an electric saw. He doesn't have the strength to pull his Stihls anymore. I asked Dad if he should really be running a saw? That went over like a ton of bricks.

    This is one of my fears. More so when I was in a tent. Lots of dead trees out here and they make all sorts of snapping noises when it gets windy

    I came really close to buying a slightly used '89 back in the day, but it would have doubled my car payment and tripled my insurance. So it didn't happen.:pout: I ended up buying a new '95 P/U a few years later after saving up some more pennies and dropping a few tickets off my license.

    I went with a dewalt because I have bought into thier battery system. 16 in bar. Just sharpened the teeth, cuts great...until the battery is low. About 30 min of aggressive cutting...very aggressive.

    Just get a high voltage, name brand and the biggest bar you can afford. I have a 10 in electric.B&D pruning chainsaw and a 20 or 22 in McCullough gas piece of shit.

    Good afternoon everyone!

    Ahh, old Bronco talk. I had a '89 that I bought in '91, it was a bit of a strange bird in the way it was spec'd. It was an XL, so vinyl flooring and low back buckets. 302/5 speed manual but with factory 4.10 and limited slips front and rear. AC and cruise were about the only options that I could remember. I traded my '85 Toyota truck ( like a dummy) in on it. It lasted a few years, it was fun in the SoCal desert and comfy for long trips but it was a thirsty pig.

    The weather here is getting very nasty !!! . Just had a strong t storm that was being tracked by the NWS that was producing very strong wind gusts roll thru my area . Winds were strong enough that I had dirt on the inside window sill of all the windows facing that wind gust

    I thought at first it was a Tornado as these strong gusts lasted maybe 2-3 minutes and you could here debris hitting the windows

    i think my plan of deep cleaning my whole house this weekend was a little over ambitious

    funny! i've actually never made one before - just something i've been craving and can't buy at the store on account of the glutens. so i figured i'd give it a whirl
    been raining off and on since friday afternoon. rained pretty hard last night and had some thunder here and there
    what? it was in the garage, i just didn't feel like digging out its box and actually putting it away before now. but garage is cleaned up and in summer mode (camping crap front and center, xmas decor in the back.
