Illuminati-R-Us

SO I saw a Craig's List item for someone asking donations of chainsaws for Honduras.

Well, I have a couple chainsaws, one I have had for ages. it works, just needs a good cleaning and tune up. Local repair shops wouldn;t touch it because "you can't get parts on those anymore". It doesn't need parts, it works, it just needs a going over for the season. Sorry. SO a nice small McCulloch sits idle.

So I talked to the guy, they take in old chainsaws, working or not and fix them up and use them in Honduras somehow. Told him I would donate this one. He liked my saw, and lamented not having it last trip, as the smaller ones are great for branch trimming. Just what I used it for myself.

The guy was interesting, his day job is driving Amish people around in Michigan's "thumb" region - east of Saginaw, north of Detroit. Been in the Lansing Hispanic community a long time, we wound up knowing a number of the same people, notably a local musician and restaurateur.

Seems their efforts are focused on medical care, nutrition, and shoes. For Hondurans, not the Amish.

A new chain and a tighten of the chain-bar can work wonders for pre-loved chainsaws

I used to have 3 chainsaws. Now I have 0 chainsaws. I miss having chainsaws.

I have a small Husqvarna that I don't use very often, I get it serviced regularly and would probably be cheaper hiring one when I need it.

IÄll take that down for our time as house owners.

If your missus ever needs her bush trimmed let me know . . .

Here you go:

That's ^pretty cutting edge^ stuff right there
