Oh yeah?

Yeah. I did it, today, finally, after talking about it for so long. I took a shower shortly after sometime, then dressed shortly thereafter, then checked to see if they were open and they were, and went. To the chainsaw store. I knew what I wanted. I had a rough idea of how much it would cost. So I just did it.

I am the proud, in a humble way, new owner of a Stihl MS 362. I also bought saw chaps, a hardhat with ear and eye shielding, gloves (though I couldn't find the kevlar), an extra chain, sharpening kit, chainsaw case, chain oil, oil mix for the gas, and maybe an odd other thing or two. I don't have official work boots for using it, but what I have will do for now. If I start making money with it, anything else will come out of that.

This is a professional grade of chainsaw. My actual hope is to find a way to get it to pay, unlike other purchases. And it has that potential, if I can do the work even from time to time. I am going to review some materials now, on Youtube, at Stihl's site, and wherever I can. I called my neighbor and he suggest he might be over later. Yes, I'm a wee excited. But I don't want to go off half-cocked and do a stupid either. Especially since my first work with it will be bucking, often just cutting them in half. This thing has a monstrously aggressive bite. I best watch my work, and plan well ahead. That said, I can't wait.

Oh, I also visited my friend, got him out so he could buy a sorely needed new reloader and a time card for his cellphone. And I called my hair dresser, to see if she is available. Not until Tuesday. My friend suggested he needs to go, so I will take him along. All good. Well, almost. I tried to find her new shop but failed after four attempts. It must be really hidden in there, I'll figure it out though.

Later... I hope.
