Welcome to the IHoP v.2
Have you had any steroid shots done? Seemed to help the W with hers. For a few months at a time at least.

I’m imagine the Olathe is the same lineage as the Silver Queen. Just bred to grow at higher altitudes. Is very light colored, almost white. This years came out extra soft with very little starch. So sweet and yummy!

Looks to be similar to the Olathe sweet corn we grow.

Optimistically next spring. I have a few other friends that way I planned to work on also, so will make the trip worthwhile. Plus is the only corner of the country I’ve yet to wander!

Tat’toos are definitely not everyone. Honestly I’m amazed at their popularity, that people put so much value upon them. Not to mention is as casual as getting a haircut to most people.

This one could handle some serious length too with an extension attached!

IIRC was the Rancher models that I didn't care for. The Xp's were screamers like the Stihl. We had a Timber King 2500 with a 36" throat for the milling you speak of. lol

Shannon passing has been a hard one to swallow. He was such a caring guy and way to young. I will miss our long talks about audio and life. Didn't realize this would be the last time we talked. He will be greatly missed.

I remember hating the way some of the newer Husky models ran. They just felt restricted for their size. I assume those are the ones that have the shit Matt is talking about.

I assume your chief complaint with the Poulan (other than power) is its finicky. That it’s a bitch to start once heated and won’t stay running. When doing log work my personal saw was the Stihl 046. While a beast, it’s overkill for a homeowner doing yard work. The company had a grip of different Husqvarna models that I used from time to time. The 395xp with a 36” bar was great for huge cross cuts, but never touched it otherwise. They had a bunch of the smaller 16” models that I used in the field. They definitely stayed running better than any Pouplar variant I used. With all that said I used a corded Makita 16” for any of my daily small work. Worked like a champ and lasted years. Never had to fuck with keeping it running. Was great working indoors also.

Dude had a heart of gold.

I run a FWD in 3rd or 4th @4-5k rpms on shitty roads and fly past other people. Usaully at least 50-60 mph with a sure foot and in great control. In my heavy assed RWD I’m sliding all over by 50 mph. Especially if I’m redlining to get in the torque band.

Welcome to the IHoP v.2
Yes, Shannon.

Welcome to the IHoP v.2
A Stihl 046 or ms 460 mag would be a good size and worth picking up used. The Husqvarna 455 or 460 are powerhouses also. I'm a Stihl guy but have no complaints with the Husky.

Yessir.

Is with a heavy heart I’m letting everyone know that Mr. Alton passed away this morning. He had been struggling with health issues and lost the fight.
