    Yes, smaller diameter trees would be the limit. The always starting advantage is a good one.

    If I had woods where I'd routinely be cutting good sized branches, larger deadfall, etc. it may be a worthwhile investment. The reviews I saw were probably from the typical homeowner, not necessarily one with a wood stove. Some rounds that I've had were around 20", I wouldn't even consider a battery powered saw for that. If I'm going to spend any money for firewood work it should be for a wood splitter.

    No.
    I can’t talk about the situation around those cars but, Bob cut the bad roof off of one and proceeded to make the only weather tight conv. In the world. In the movies they just cut the riffs off and sat on pads cause he was so tall he couldn’t fit.

    A little something every chance we get.
    Ah! Mostly his female co-star drove it in the movie, and what I've read was Connery was too tall - hence they made the convertible.
    I understand that was the "only" roadster - based on my limited knowledge. I've read of removeable tops, but didn't think they made any. At any rate, of the reported 337 or 351 cars to start with, you buys still have an exclusive no matter how it got made!

    O.M.G. That's a 365 GTC/4 isn't it? I will offer the heretical opinion that the GTC/4 is better looking than the 365 Daytona

    What engine, a 2.0L straight 6? Sorry if I missed it elsewhere. I saw a post on another forum where a non-USA (I think) Tacoma had a straight 6. Or maybe it was a Hilux. Just guessing on the displacement based on the 2000.

    I’ve had the same one for a year now. Used it a lot and never had a problem with it. Add a little oil and keep chain sharp

    Amen to that. I need to cut the grass and start working on leaves, too. Looks like we have a dry spell coming...and going to get warmer, too.

    Off to the optometrist for me, today.

    Mike: You have posted up too many pics to quote all of them. I really enjoyed looking at all the pics this morning. Gets my day off to a nice start. Thank You!

    Lots of pole saw talk this morning. I have mild vertigo so my days of using a pole saw are limited. I have a set of tree sticks, nice set an old C&P Telephone set, and a decent chain saw on a stick. My son wanted one of the newer pole saw on a telescoping stick and asked me to purchase one for the home. Since he is the one doing the work, I could not refuse. In my opinion a quality pole saw make trimming off a tree branch properly so much easier. You can always do the first cut with a chain saw but the final cut needs to be clean and smooth. Link to chain saw is below. I highly recommend this one, extremely sharp and easy to use. I do not believe they are sold on Amazon any longer. The cost was $312.00. Amazon had the best price.

    Everyone have a great day!
