Husqvarna 359 here. Bought it new about 18 years ago. It has cut 7 or 8 cords of wood per year ever since. I have never done anything to it besides replacing air filters and chains. Still starts easily, and runs great. 24 inch bar BTW.

We call it peace enforcement. Ukraine wants to join nato.We may not let it happen, cause next thing would be a conflict with the nato. So it is a small war to avoid bigger. Nato has come too close to our boarders.

Start packing in rations. It's going to be a rough ride for a few of years. Wars are not fought to prevent other wars, even though most political rulers want to sway their population with that bit of propaganda.

Yep I m fine. It is worthless to exchange rumors about Ukraine war, cause west media cover it quite differently. When all fuss comes down there would more true reports. Right now media just demonise Russia. Today I ve been changing driveshaft bearings. Boon cilinder started to leak slightly. And how are you Sarge, how is your family, I guess an easter is coming. Our easter is in april 24 I guess. Weather is turnig better with everyday.

We are good. I just moved a big rock with the backhoe to use as a very large stepping stone. I placed it to help my 83 yr old father to step out of his Kawasaki Mule when he comes to visit. :) My son is starting college in the Fall. He will move to a dorm room at the University. We are a little nervous about that. Anyway, it is good to see you on here. Glad you are doing well. Hope you don't get drafted! :)

Honcho, glad you are doing alright. I hope you keep in mind that not all of us believe and are in agreement with our "western media" (not speaking for the folks here at HEF, but in general).

I've learned to not believe much of anything without researching in lots of less-known venues due to the habits of the media attempting to brainwash us or trick us into believing things that aren't true or real.

1984 is very real nowadays, the amount of doublespeak we all deal with is nuts.

Gotcha. Gladd to hear you all guys. Serg. Once when we were cleanin river bed, I found very big flat stone it was aprox 6ft long, 3 ft wide and 8-9 inch thick. I wanted to make a table in my back yard. But got a nice price offer so I sold it.

Good to hear from you Honcho, that would have been nice, I have seen people with large tables made out of one piece of large wood stained, looks real nice, never thought of using stone!

Well, melben, Here one more story. Once I worked at an old pier dismantle works. I worked with a hydraulic hammer breaking it to big pieces. There were divers working with us they cut beton reinforcements underwater. and then I pulled beton posts from underwater. And they found even more older oak posts on the bottom. I guess that pier was built on them as constructure for beton works. I don t know how long it had been there, but folks said that pier was at least 60 years old. Well when oak is kept underwater for long it becomes dark blue or black.and very hard. We drugged many very many of them out . Cheif took it all to him he said he is gonna make a kitchen furniture out it. I felt pissed off for I couldn t get any to meself.
