    How does that square ground chain perform? Is it hard to sharpen? I run a full skip chain on my saw.

    Square ground is the fastest chain there is but it's a pain to sharpen by hand. It's also less forgiving in dirty wood and will dull faster if you hit dirt with it. I sharpen mine on a Silvey grinder.
    Nothing wrong with full skip. I run all Oregon chains. Stihl chain is better but not enough better to justify the difference in costs.

    Alright, try Powerade Zero. I thought you said they quit making it. I drink the orange zero almost exclusively, along with coffee. An occasional Coke. I noticed Walmart, had a very small selection. Never have my orange zero. When I can find it, I stock up. Guess I’ll have to find another affordable O cal. drink. I don’t really care for anything else. It’s all overpriced junk.

    And She still Married You? That’s a great story! Lol. I often wondered at the times my wife helped, or just hung around while I worked on a car. I think it turned her on. Same way She listens to me talk about mechanical stuff. I often wonder how she stands it. She surprised Me recently, the air compressor was cycling. Better make sure it’s not a brake chamber, before we leave out!! I guess she actually does listen sometimes. She’s often referred to Guys who pay to have everything done around the house, as “Little weenie boys” that Can’t do nothing. She’s a Tough one.

    Hot yesterday. Finally put the last can of 134a in the A/C. It’s working better than ever now. Put the landing gear on finally, after getting the bracket welded. My welder died, 55 yrs old. Brain Tumor. Now his Sons trying to run the Business. The old man never charged enough. No minimum. Sometimes he’d charge Me $10 or $15. I always give them a tip, and no receipt needed. Now they have a $60 minimum. Charged Me $45. I gave the kid $60. I hope he's successfull. The Shop is well known as being excellent, can weld anything. Small place, maybe 7 employees. Right in a small industrial park, full of small Shops. Potential gold mine. He’s having a hard time charging more money. But has to, to stay in Business. Nothing wrong with that. It’s worth it. Can’t find places like that anymore.

    They have a bottling company near Me. Always known as Everfresh. As in Orange juice, and other juices. Now they’re called ????? Bottling Co. They bottle all the off brands. Shasta, Fanta, Detroit’s Own Faygo is part of them now. Along with quite a few other “off” brands. You don’t see the brands everywhere in the country, but they’re still out there. Forget the name of the Parent Bottling Company, but they crank out loads everyday. Only 4 docks, but always full of Trucks, with 3 or 4 waiting.
