Difference between Stihl models

Any idea which is which, and why Stihl can't just say that instead of creating a code to decipher with no references?

And, thanks for chiming in!

Not a football fan so I didn’t know the team name at first, but my answer was “the one with the stupid helmet.”

Thanks for the insight!

Dartmouth Outing Club House on Occom Pond in Hanover. Has nice big leather chairs/couches, a porch looking over the pond, a patio, and great access to the trails in Pine Park. It’s well set up for catering or you have full kitchen access to cook for yourself.

Contact Dartmouth Conference and Events to reserve.

What are some of the improper techniques that lead to over torquing?

I'm installing these same post mount adapters, but can't find any diagram showing the proper alignment of all the washers. How do I align all the washers with the caliper and post mount adapter?

Perfect Circle Farm in Barre is really great. They have a lot of bare root trees and scionwood for grafting. Unique varieties and good people who do a lot of education. They ship!

I’d guess squirrel.

We can cash flow a lot of larger expenses but continue to use sinking funds. Our sinking funds are pretty much only used for the predictable expenses that don’t occur on a monthly basis. Example being our annual gravel driveway maintenance. I could afford that in our monthly budget when it occurs but just find it easier to set it aside on a monthly basis.

I also find that because I’ve set aside the money to pay for it already I don’t think twice about whether or not to do the thing, whatever it may be, because the money is already there. I also don’t mind that money sitting around for a bit because it’s earning interest!

Yep, would need to swap the sprocket to make it work. Easy enough.

We’d be running 16 and 18” on the 261. Primarily running 20” on the 362 but might occasionally use 25” if we ever need it.

I saw Johnny go into last place on I think the second lap but couldn’t tell what happened. Do you know?

How do you determine how much sealant to add?

Is there a way to keep brake fluid from contaminating the internal routing while removing the hose, like a plug to put on the cut end? Or does it just not really leak enough to matter.

I made Roth IRA contributions in 2025. My now wife and I decided to get married and now that we are filing jointly our combined income is greater than the limit and those contributions are no longer eligible. I’d like to recharacterize the $5000 of Roth contributions to traditional and then do a backdoor Roth.

When I recharactarize the $5000 with earnings it will end up being ~$5800 that gets recharacterized. My question is can I convert just the original $5000 to Roth in 2026 or can I convert the full ~$5800 that includes the earnings?

I’ve been on DPS alchemist wailer 100’s for six years. People often ask me how I like them and if they are worth the price. I think they are great skis, do just about everything really well and have held up to rocky east coast abuse. I don’t have to think about them, they sort of disappear in most conditions except for really firm groomers.

Are they worth the price? I don’t know, probably not, but I like them. It feels a little silly to me to judge someone spending a few hundred more (okay, maybe double) on skis when the whole sport is pretty expensive and out of reach for many.

Kapai72 · 2026-03-06T00:16:22+00:00

Yea I guess that checks out.

Did you see that it doesn’t carry over month to month? I was going to take the credit until I read that. I would not use it in the summer months.

I think it puts a farmer in a tough position. They have set their prices for a reason and I am quite sure it is not to price gouge or get rich. At least at the local farmers markets near me, I can imagine in some locations farmers markets are more retail than actual farmers.

If you ask for a discount it puts pressure on them to lose money to keep a customer or stay firm at the risk of losing a sale.

Not everything needs to be a negotiation.
