TM - regarding chainsaws, how often do you have to sharpen them? I bought one several years ago and I think I probably need to sharpen it, but this is my first chainsaw experience. I've cut down, and cut up, about 8 or 10 Ponderosa Pines, each about 40 feet tall and 18 to 24 inches in diameter.

I, too, swear by CR. I would never buy anything major, like a car, without checking them out first. And I do subscribe to the magazine, although you can buy it in stores.
they have an online subscription, too, which I'm considering. Only thing is, they automatically re-subscribe you annually using your credit card number, and I don't like that idea. CR had a small reputation-bobble last year regarding car seats (right when I was looking to buy one), but otherwise they are pretty reliable.

I bought a Husky, no I can't spell it. About ten years ago. I think about $350. I only use it for fire wood. I've spent about $45 bucks on it. Because I left gas over the winter.
Sharpening a chainsaw. I've bought every gadget know to man, and still can't get it right. I try to keep it out of dirt and hit it a lick with a file. Then buy a new chain. Once I went about 20 miles away to cut fire wood and the damn chain came apart. So trip back to town to have fixed. Now I keep a spare chain in tool box.

Oh, I completely agree. And wallets/purses. I have Coach bags that are 10+ years old that still look brand new.

Adventures.
Money can accomplish almost anything. Whenever I'm off to do something that might leave me up shit creek I make sure I have plenty of money to buy a paddle. |

Some, but not all, of my spices and condiments are more expensive. Think paprika is just boring red stuff to decorate diner baked potatoes? Try some Hungarian paprika, hot or sweet.
Since spices go stale so quickly, I don't mind paying more for an ounce of something rather than the more economical two ounce store brand. Every time I find an even better balsamic vinegar, it's more expensive than the last one. Same with mustards, although I appreciate more variety there. I'll make my own spice blends as I need them, or just a couple of months supply at a time. Depends on what it is. |

Yep. Thanks. It's not an every day word for rednecks.

Heh. Don't agree about purses. I just can't fathom spending all that money on a purse. I'm much more interested in the configuration (has to have outside pockets, etc.); and I don't WANT my purse to be around 10 years. I get sick of them. I just use mine until I get sick of it or it falls apart, then get a new, cheap again, purse.

I came to rely on Milwaukee tools when I was working in the construction field; most notably the Sawzall and the Hole-Hawg.

I have a few Milwaukee tools. A port-a- band saw, couple of drills and I drink old Milwaukee light, ice cold
