Hey everyone,
Just returned from a two month work trip in Ohio. Brought a lot of cash and was hoping to buy saws along the way. Unfortunately, the Nat Gas company I was working for wouldn't allow any talking to land owners, so had a real tough time trying to score saws. Ended up with a Stihl 015 (running well) and an old Homelite XL12 from an Amish gentleman for $35. Not what I was hoping to come home with, but might be fun to run the 015. My best score though was a co-worker who has a Husky 262xp at home and doesn't need it - gave $40 for the saw and $35 to ship to me - should be on it's way! That's the kind of deal I was looking for! Got a call today from another guy in NH that I bought an MS260 from a few months ago - he has 9 saws (mostly crappy Macs, Craftsman, Poulan, etc. - but I can have them all for about $10/saw - most are runners, so can clean/fix/etc. and turn a little cash on them (to start a MS460/461 fund!). Will be fun projects regardless. So, glad to be back in NH and enjoying a little downtime before I get back to work. Worked 63 days in a row - time for a beer......
Cheers!
