Are these for the mill?

Yep.  I have a new saw coming that's 92cc.  Should push this big bars fine.  I burnt up my 62cc saw.  Ordered a new piston/ring set for it ($4.00).   That was def a learning experience.  I think I got this now. 

@JohnInCarolina insert obligatory joke here

Never been to Maine. Can provide truckloads of bread if necessary……

Just ordered an item on eBay.  Tracking showed it left California, went to Hawaii, then finally made it to Kansas after 8 days. USPS Priority Mail 2-3 day envelope.

At least it wasn’t dumped in a gully in Alabama. 

That story is just insane.  We were talking about that a little on the Zoom Friday night.

This “ravine” was roughly 25-30 miles from my house. I’m gonna have to start paying closer attention while out hunting.

Cool.  I want to follow this, post updates if you don’t mind.  A friend just bought some property and is cutting trees for fire mitigation, etc.  burning most but wants to use some and he was excited about this idea.

She’s getting closer. I put the odds at -150 that it will actually get here today.

One cannot simply observe a shipping status and expect said shipping status to change, lest fundamental universal laws will be broken and a paradox singularity will ensue, sweeping our version of reality into a proverbial footlocker of obscurity.  Also, cats and dogs will start getting along and neapolitan ice cream will only be 2 flavors.

neapolitan ice cream in two flavors would be an upgrade, i choose chocolate and chocolate

I could do without the strawberry myself.

I might be the only person who likes all of the flavors in Neapolitan ice cream.

it always seems to be made with lousy flavorless ice cream though. if the local italian gelato place made it, it would be chocolate cayenne, very berry, and real vanilla bean gelato. it would be crazy good. instead its brown ice cream, white ice cream and pink ice cream.....

You have a local Italian gelato place?  Is it right next to the Ferrari dealership?

Neapolitan was designed as a way use up all the unwanted strawberry ice cream, and the lower tier chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

We have multiple Gelato places.  One hired a gelato master from Italy to oversee their shops.  You must live in a backwoods podunk local to not have Gelato.  How do you survive?

Oh I didn’t say we don’t have one.  We do.  But we also have a Ferrari dealership.

@U_tarded, I was reading about the sale on the knives. I see the blades are stamped xxxx. Do they still sharpen the knives if you pay the shipping, etc. I read the FAQ's and couldn't find that answer. Thanks.

Well, I’ll be damned. It actually got here. Now let’s see if it is intact.

My personal favorite WTF shipping map/update.  While it didn’t arrive the same day, it did arrive the next day, suggesting that Africa > MD is a single day affair, and all domestic shipping is ridiculously padded.

I don’t know, I sharpen my own knives and my shuns only need a light touch up like once a year.  It does say no warranty but I don’t know if the warranty includes the sharpening service.

The XXXX stamped (factory one-off/defect) knives from Shun do not come with a warranty but they are 100% eligible for the free sharpening service.

Well, she’s here and put together. Tomorrow will be the maiden voyage. Need to figure something out for that.

 Thank you Nola and u_Tarded. I appreciate the information.

Ran over my Iphone xr with a 16,000lb trailer.  Amazingly my podcast via headphones never quit.  however the screen and back were completely smashed ruining any hopes of just replacing the screen (again).   Spent 1 hr going back and forth with verizon and my bank to release the (fraudulent purchase) funds to buy a new phone. Made it past the interrogation and ran up to cbus to pick up my new Iphone 13 Mini.  At last a phone I can put in the safety of my pocket.
