if it is a 30 amp you desire, they can be found in my truck after I get back from NH tomorrow. I'm going to pick up some gen parts, and that is the only place that has them that I have an account at. If it is a 20 amp, I can probably pick those up too.

Using one of my dad's this weekend paid for it. He's got one almost identical to it. Was on roofs with it cutting trees off and cutting trees out of driveways.

I'm glad I have a power inverter though. Made it a lot easier to sharpen my chains up again. Pulled the truck up to the door, ran a cord out, and I was in business. I'll be back at it at larger, lower priority projects this weekend.

Ran home to grab some stuff I forgot to bring with me on Monday and got a call while I was there that the new saw was in.



Sadly it will never be this clean again in its life.
They said they sold ~150 saws so far this week, and the only ones that have come back for warranty work were homeowners who flooded the saws and couldn't get them to start.

Afternoon guys.
I'm just waiting for a pizza to arrive.
Wow they had some bad flooding up there Miles, sorry to har about your friends house.

On a lighter note.
AMAZING SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES:

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

DAILY THOUGHT:

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
