Electric Drills. If I can remember I will get my DH to take a pix of me trying out my new, although small, chainsaw next week. Also got a new corded drill, I wore out the cordless which never did work as hard as I wanted it to. Now we'll see how this one works.
Everyone in my family and all my friends will be on pins and needles everytime I tell them I going to play 'LumberJack'. A friend almost had a hissy fit (anyone remember those?) when I told her I had bought a chainsaw. Now she wants to come over and see how it works. I don't guarantee I will be able to manage it, but I will give it a try. Just hope it doesn't make too much noise. That I don't like.
It was so crowed at Wally World today. The last day of the month which means all the checks have come in. Then the sun had come out and it was a gorgeous day with no nasty NW wind blowing. Right now is is in the upper fifties. Sorry folks I just hope it makes you feel better to know that Spring will come. The quicker it gets to me the quicker it will come north.
Did a phone call to a very good friend in WV and it has been in the 20's for her. There has been snow all around her mountain but she has not gotten much. And it doesn't bother her a bit.
Time to go chill out now and catch up on my Y&R and B&B soaps. That is my rest period for the day.
More to Come Later.

Be very, very careful with the chainsaw. I've used one on several occasions, cut a few trees down and dropped one on my camp years ago. I've known experienced men who have been hurt using them. I'm not being sexist, I just never have seen a woman use one. I don't doubt your ability, just be careful. Your friend, The Hillbilly Last edited by bsmitch on February 29th at 3:41 PM. |

Uh,huh! That is a serious piece of machinery. #1 son went to the bush to be a woodchopper. He had on new protective pants and it was a good thing. He is left handed and when he lowered the moving saw the chain was next to his body and it did extensive damage to the new pants! Whew! Some things a mother aught not to know till much later! grin leafette |

Love my drill as well, always thought a chainsaw would be fun to operate, but we have nothing to use one on. Do be careful!~Andrea |

You really must be careful when using a chainsaw. I use one on my job quiet often, but I have been trained in using one. But even with training things happen. Also never use one unless someone else is with you. You just never know when that someone is needed to call 911. You can never be safe enough with power equipment. |

Actually am going to take it to my sons this week end and let him show me how it works to see if I can handle. It is very light weight but you never know. I will not be lifting it up in anyway only on the ground level. Will let you know how my lesson goes. Thanks for all your concern. Linda B |
