Every piece of Stihl equipment aside from these crappy new small saws has been awesome.

Same way I've treated the MS460, BR600, KM110, etc. since new and they all run like champs.

Will do. Something tells me that when I go to it to start it tomorrow it'll work.
Not sure what would be different, but I just have a feeling it may have been in a mood today.

Hey Pete. I'm doing good today. Just finished eating dinner.
I know the feeling!
J-L has been playing with the cartoon site since she got home from school.
Hey Mike. I'm doing good. How are things with you?

I'd like to get back into Commercial Building, typically work 40 hours/wk and a few Saturdays when needed. Problem is, the market is so flooded right now with workers and not much work, it's hard(almost impossible) to get in anywhere. Plus, if you get in, you're still probably low on the totem pole, which means you're usually the first to go when it gets slow.
Road construction is way different, work up to 70(and sometimes over) hours a week and most Saturdays through the summer. Pay is about $3.50/hour less too. They say you make up the difference in pay with all the hours you work, but that is my problem with it, it usually doesn't work out that way.
Overall though, still don't know what I want to do when I grow up, but I'd better decide pretty soon.

When I was cutting trees, our small saws were always a$99 poulan...they ran great, had good power to weight ratio and if you dropped it 50 feet to the ground...you werent out $400...we usually got a good year out of each saw.
I had a 5.0 cu in Echo with an 18 inch blade that I cut firewood with...good power!
The Boss had a 7.5 cu in Husky with a 36 inch blade for flush cutting the stumps and 2 stihls with 18 inch blades for general work.
I also worked for davis tree service trimming powerlines...The chipper had hydraulic feed and would take up to a 12 in diameter log.... 300 Ford I6 motor....filled the box truck 4 times one day clearcutting...
Afternoon all...gonna shower and hit the gym bbl!
