Hey S-R, I live in logging country in the pacific NW and either one will do you a great job.
  Both a popular. I own a stihl 029 and have cut a lot with it. I went with a 24" bar. Less
  strain on the back bending, reaching etc. The 029 is also called the "farm boss". Been
  working good for me since 93. Be careful, those things can bite!      Mike

Hi all, I have not been on chordie for awhile but check posts time to time. I really need to vent a little.
  I lost my mom sunday. She had been hospitalized for the past 6 weeks in and out of icu. A young 74.
  A smoker all of her adult life. She did not die from the reason she was hospitalized but from her lungs
  not able to get her the needed O2 for recovery. Cigarette smokers can only use a portion of their
  lungs and the area that is void can fill with fluids making breathing difficult or worse.

  Now I'm not a saint, having smoked off and on, but tobacco free for near 3 years now. I had also
   rolled a few and packed a pipe occasionally with not so legal substances only to find that I really
   didn't like it, just being one of the crowd so to speak. Just wondering if I would still have my Mom
   had she smoked the illegal stuff instead of the stuff that is "legal" for businesses to sell and the
   government raking in big bucks in tax revenue oh and how about the health industry $$ taken in
   from smoking illnesses??

This country has been built on the charity given by those that can give. A big applause here BGD! I hope that

  your good deed will pay you back ten fold.             Mike

It's been a horrible year for weather. Good to hear from those back east (from here anyway) and only near
 
  misses. I know from experience what it's like to be in the middle of those storms. Spent a lot of time in

  Texas, which is now on fire, and am thankful that here we are not prone to such storms. Even lightning is

  rare here in the Cascades.        Mike

is a big

running too fast

Happy NGD! That looks like a great player and a possible new long time friend. Like
  the natural finish and I'm sure it adds to the overall sound. Wish my new crafter had
  the same to add to a better tone but I'm still happy and impressed with the sound it
  delivers. Have a good, safe trip.       Mike

There is some really cool rides posted here. Never have done a restore but hope to get
   the 66 truck somewhat restored. Like the bikes too. Awesome job Wayne! Thanks Pix
   as I may take you up on your advice offer. I have to trouble shoot to see what it needs
   to run, repair some body damage etc. This is a tracker model and not sure the motor
   size yet, just got back with it last night and still on the hauler for now.

Wow we must be a conservative bunch here. I fit right in having lots of miles also. Got a 98
   sc2 saturn with 289k. Laid off now and my youngest daughter needs a work car so I loaded
   it up on the car hauler and am going 2-1/2 hours today to give it to her and bring back a
   suzuki 4x4 that died to see if I can revive it? This is being pulled by my 99F250 7.3 which
   is a little rare as being a single cab with 297k but taken well care of. My GF has a 97 Blazer
   with the low miles at 146k,lol. Out back is the "project" vehicle, a 66 Chevy 3/4 ton. Hopefully
   it will be running this summer. Nice Torino A-N! It reminds me of the 72 MachI I use to have.
   Wouldn't you love to have those cars we let go?       Mike

Best wishes to your wife and hope that fun is had by all.

Right on Pete! She is a beauty. I really like color choice and you can't go wrong

   with a Martin. Have fun with your new friend. Oh-and the curves on that pin-

   up calendar!     Mike
