How'd it go today?

[WoodCutr]

yeah, like me trying to chip a trailer load of brush that got dumped in a 10ft wide space, next to a hill so I can't do much with the machine, and its so packed in there that my trailer was identifying as a 80yd storm truck

didn't get far, got really sweaty and my glasses got a little bent when they fell off my face from all the sweat, but other than that I did nothing but waste an hour of my time and remembered why that pile has been sitting there for 3 weeks


fun times

Too stupid to realize how dumb they are. But your is more eloquent.
A personal favorite of mine is : you’re the dumbest smart person I know.

For years I've been aware of a concept in human nature, but have never been able to quite put it in words. Well, today, I've figured out how to describe it: there are an alarming number of people out there, that if they were just a little bit smarter, might be able to comprehend just how stupid they were.

I think that little bit smarter is called humility, and according to the degree of humility is the degree of understanding just how stupid one's self is.

customer texts me asking if I work in a certain area, check on google and see why they are having a hard time finding anyone, I've been that way in a pickup truck and had to use 4wd on pavement to get up some of the hills, and you'd have to drop/re-hook trailers to make certain turns

of course I say I can do the job, where theres a will theres a way, if I gotta winch the truck to the tree, wouldn't be the first or last time
then he asks for weedeating, sorry, no can do, then he wants a bid on a tree and its excuse after excuse why he can't be on site, look up the property on google maps and he doesn't own it, its a cabin rental place that owns the property, this dudes name isn't on anything for the cabin company

hate getting excited to go do a job then have to turn it down like that, but you gotta CYA sometimes, rather just not do a job than do it and find out the real landowner didn't even know about getting any work done

Someone finally did something with some of my Mesquite slabs.



The truck was unloading a tracked skid steer to pull
Another tow truck out of the desert.

So, what all is in the hole of buried treasure?

I wonder how they loaded that truck?

Little gift from a custy the other day. 359.Runs great, but maybe a bit lean. These were good saws. Happy Stephen. My hot rod Echo is down at the moment (intake boot). This will fill in for now nicely, except for the full comp 24" 😝

 

[Nutball]

359 was the first expensive saw I ever ran after a poulan without anti-vibe. It was impressively smooth. smooth and kind of slow on the spool up/down too was my impression. It felt expensive.

What happened to the intake boot? I'm just curious what failures happen and why.

It has a crack in it. They do that sometimes from just use. It flexes there.

I still have a 355t I need to do a whole parts swap on to replace the tanks/engine cover. Someone got it stuck, and tugged so hard the ripped the whole handle off the engine.

 

[Burnham]

Hooked it to the truck for that tug, methinks .

I have at least a large box of 455 saws and parts if you dare pay shipping.. 🤣

Make sure the 359 has a metal boot clamp.

Also some of their carbs need a hole drilled in the diaphragm cover plate…treemonkey 359 carb fix…I forget if it’s the walbro or zama.

A red one of those was what got me started in saws. This is another one

Intake boot?

 

[davidwyby]

The merry go round is has been spinning too fast for too long. Always something all the time. Or multiple somethings.


Came
Home to
80 degree house. Oh crap. Not livable when it’s 111 outside. Luckily the AC parts man was still at work, had the parts, and came and installed too!

395s are for sissies

 

[davidwyby]

Intake boot?

They come with a plastic clamp that breaks

 

[CurSedVoyce]

So, in other words, if I were to buy a pro-noun and a noun, the answer would be yes, the intake boot.

 

[stikine]

Stephen, he has a chainsaw disorder at the very least...pay him no attention. Lol.

Well...there ain't an exhaust boot, or any other boot I know of, so...


....I think it's kind of a pain to get at, maybe easier to remove cyl. Whole top end comes off as an assembly on a husky...good time to do a base gasket delete.

No boot in sentence

I musta missed the "intake part"?

 

[davidwyby]

🤣 were were already talking about the intake boot.

You’re right though. Too busy too hurry too shorthand

Here’s long hand that coincidentally just popped up

Husqvarna 357/359 Repair Thread.

Ok gang, here we go with another chassis. Not a lot of info out there on the Husky 357/359 or the Jonny 2156/2159 counterpart, hope to remedy that situation. On the bench is an ugly old 359, rode hard and put up wet, pretty typical of a firewood saw. This one needs crank seals, piston, carb...

Day started nicely - sun coming up over the lake… first of our children arrived here and the rest arrive this evening. First time all five children and their families will be together since three winters ago. Excited to share this special place with the younger grandchildren who have never been here. Our children and the oldest grandchild spent time here when the day camp was in full swing. 160 to 240 children every day back in its heyday…
No motors have ever been allowed on this spring-fed lake which seeps at its outlet into the Huron River chain of lakes, so it is exquisitely clean and peaceful.
Sailing, swimming, fishing, and playing all day for the next week!
