Hey Danny! Nice to see the green dot next to your name! The old OT got to be such a mammoth that it just died. I could,nt get to the last page.

Ugh, Chase and Troy just left to get his first check and pay his stupid high cell phone bill. I have no idea why I even bother talking to him about his bills and stuff, I am just wasting my breath. He has no idea what his plan is besides that he has unlimited text and that his bill averages $160 a month which I think is too much for one phone. He told me that he doesn't worry about it so I shouldn't either, I told him he was right and it was his money so I won't worry anymore about it.

Thanks for letting me vent for a min

$160.00 for a single phone? Crap,he stays on it all the time doesn't he. You know some of the people when they are young don't worry about nothing,and I did say SOME. I wish I could like that again,but its part of growing up...And it sucks! lol

Wow...160?! I think mine has been 70 or so for the last 8 years!

Of course I have the lowest Verizon plan with a buffer of texts just in case I text to people who arent "in". All my friends are "in" so I use maybe 15 minutes a month that are billable...then the 450 absorbs them!

Here's what I'm talking about: Bailey's - The Mingo Marker Firewood Marker

It's a pretty simple device, but it works very well for what it needs to do. Basically the wheel just has a bump on the side with a spring loaded lever that presses the nozzle of the paint can.

Edit for Ray: It probably was operator error. I'm not even close to understanding how half of those saws work. I just know how I'm supposed to start it, how to shut it off, how the chainbrake works, and pulling the trigger makes it go more faster.
Thats a pretty neat tool Pete. I have always used the chain saw bar as a referance, give or take 5"

Yea. The only issue is when it gets hung up on a knot and sprays paint all over your wood.

Or when you move a piece you just sprayed and then get paint on your hand which transfers to your saw.

Both of which I did under an hour ago. Luckily our paint color matches STIHL orange relatively well. Unfortunately I got it on the black rear grip.

Cris:
I can't even imagine racking up 160$ a month for a stupid phone! I use a grand total of like 2 minutes per month that are outside of our family plan. Phone to phone within the phones on our family plan is free and dad is on that plan and he's 90% of my calls.

Why yes. Yes that would be the POS ms290.

The only reasons I don't use a 460 is:

1: It's freakin heavy and I'm only cutting small wood
2: There's a lot of cutters to file on the chain of a 32" bar.

You don't use one of these to sharpen your chains ?

Nope. Dad won't spring for the 300 bucks for a decent one. We hand sharpen everything.
