What did you do to/with your chainsaw today

And maybe hope that someone doesn't express an urgent desire to use the washing machine prior to then?

Only one using it would be me given I live by myself, but I don't leave things sitting in a place where gravity can re-design them.

All I have left in my wood pile for the garage is locust. Great for long heat, but a pain to start out with. So dug out the saw and got me some to start with. It's on the neighbors property so I can easily get more.

Felt good to run that thing. Kinda miss using wood to heat my house. Bunch of big trees down there. May make a point to get a bunch more this spring before the weather turns.
 
First Stihl saw I had was a MS290 Farm Boss. Did a little work to it and it ran good. Buddy has one and I did the same stuff, pulled Carb restrictors and opened the muffler. Runs strong for what it is, just heavy and old style AV system. I sold mine when I bought my MS261.
 
It could use a proper re-build, but for all the more I use it anymore it works. It can't find the sweet spot to keep idling but not spin the chain. I adjust it close every spring, but it gets funny later on if I run it. I usually just turn it off or don't sit it down. Doesn't spin fast, just chugs and tries to suck sh*t up if I sit it down running.

I know a guy that has a downed apple tree & a lot of rotten pine trees that could be donated to fuel the fire. But who wants to burn pine.
