I don’t use my saws very often so I switched to canned Tru-Fuel. 2 year shelf life. Saws sit months at a time but fire right up.

Rode the bike to work this morning, 47 when I left the house. Still enjoyed the ride. Layers are important. Should be a gorgeous ride home at 70.

We went this morning and I think we bought half the store. Got one kid on the road now and the other coming tomorrow. We’ll have a small lunch Thursday and the big one Saturday, around 40 people at that one. I come from a large family.

Hope your mid-morning is going well. 2 more days before Turkey Day!

Per the thread subject, I was able to ride to and from work. Heat is essential to enjoy the ride.

I've done that too, when I was in my early twenties and helped my aunt cut down a tree in front of her townhouse. I can also day that I'll never do this again.

No they haven't called me yet. It will probably be after the first of the year.

I have the Ryobi also. Battery does good and it cuts well -- With a sharp blade. Biggest job it's done was some careful plunge cutting into a couple large stumps to prepare for burning them out. I don't have any other chainsaws as living I the city I haven't really needed them. Teh 2 hand axes I have work fine for what I do. 40 - 45 years ago my dad insisted I use a double sided ax. He was not going to spend money on a chain saw since he had a strong boy LOL. For limbing or trimming we had this old bow saw. That blade was a beast, almost lost a finger to it. We'd climb tree to cut limbs and I will never do that again.

Good luck on your surgery!

Hello Venture friends. I had serious back surgery in January and February and haven't been able to ride this year. I rode about an hour yesterday and today my buddy and I rode to another town to have lunch, getting about 100 miles in today. The back is feeling great so that won't be a problem riding the Venture. The bad news is that after I got home, I was moving the bike around in the shop with the engine off and I got off balance and it fell over pinning my right foot under the rear floorboard. My buddy got the bike off me and up, then helped me up. I walked around some and kicked around in the shop about 30 minutes. The pain got bad enough that I decided to go to the urgent clinic for an exam. Sure enough, the Xray showed two small fractures on each side of the ankle. So now I am sidelined for another 6 weeks. HOWEVER, if I do what the doctor says, I will be up and running in time for the spring thaw.
