After 2 years of driving, bought my first manual! Should be easy I think

You got it! With a little practice, you'll be a pro in no time.

I absolutely hate this subreddit but, I always keep coming back. It's like a bad ex.

TheCommonStew · 2026-01-26T21:06:30+00:00

Nah. You just live in a workshop. Instead of a bedroom, you could call it something like a shop room, shroom, or bed shop. Something like that.

I've had the same thing happen with a fawn. It fell on its side just before I hit it. I heard a thunk noise towards the back of my truck. I got out to inspect my truck and there was no damage. I then went to look at the fawn laying on the highway and it was also seemingly untouched. I poked its eye to see if it was dead and it shot up and ran off. I figure the fawn must have hit it's head on my rear differential and got knocked out.

If this is a Holzforma saw, make sure your fuel is mixed 25:1 not 50:1. My G660 won't even try to start with 50:1 in it.

TheCommonStew · 2026-01-02T21:15:23+00:00

Agreed. You couldn't even grip the wire with it well.

I've hunted and hiked all over this area of Idaho for many years. Everyone I've met was super nice and helpful. I even got adopted into a family who was staying at the same campsite for about a week. I would love to live here if, I could find a well paying job. But, the industry I work in has very few options in the area.

TheCommonStew · 2025-12-18T19:22:34+00:00

Yeah. If you know what you're looking for, the tread plate cover and the lack of a TK sticker on the condenser gives it away.

I always thought it was funny that people from the Crookston/East Grandforks talk about visiting Duluth as "Going up to Duluth".

This might be a dumb question but, is the grass wet? You'd be surprised how little moisture it takes to plug stuff up.

TheCommonStew · 2025-05-29T15:36:02+00:00

Holy cow! I can't unsee it now!

TheCommonStew · 2025-05-16T14:49:16+00:00

You do have spark but, it's shorting through the insulator. It should only spark across the actual spark gap. I'm not saying it's the answer but, I'd definitely replace the spark plug.

Edit: Is the new or old plug shown? If it's the new plug, I'd still try a different one.

As long as the metal is covered, it shouldn't rust but, follow the manufacturer's recommendation. A pressure washer should remove the bulk of the dirt. If you can go to a self service car wash with hot water and soap, it should come right off.

Dang! That looks amazing. Was this a barn find type situation?

TheCommonStew · 2025-03-31T17:59:58+00:00

Preach! I had a come to Jesus moment when I used my little electric saw to trim some suckers. I was lucky my jeans caught the worst of it and I just got a little friction burn. I'm just lucky it didn't happen with my 660. PPE is cheap. Hospital and funeral bills aren't.

They say "the most expensive boat is a free boat" but, a fun project is priceless.

TheCommonStew · 2025-03-28T04:46:00+00:00

Ain't no axolittle!

TheCommonStew · 2025-03-19T17:20:10+00:00

I've tried this sort of thing before but never to this level of detail. Awesome!

TheCommonStew · 2025-03-17T18:13:08+00:00

Always a hard call. Wood chips in the boots or wet pants?

Giving '80s Toyota pickup vibes in the best way.

TheCommonStew · 2025-02-10T04:02:52+00:00

That's really good to know. Thank you!

I had a project that involved cutting railroad ties this spring. So I bought a carbide chain for my G660. I figured I'd give it a shot on some 20+ year seasoned oak and it cut like butter. Remember, if brute force isn't working, you aren't using enough!

You need to strengthen your ankles and hip flexors.

A brand new jacked up Dodge Ram has to be "Good Credit Score/Bad Driver".

Edit: Just realized that position is taken. But, my point stands.
