So far today I've gotten dressed and made the kids sammiches for lunch. My back is too sore to do much else. The heating pad is my friend today.
My flu saga continues. The cough won't go away. Was fevered again last night. I do feel better today. By my way of counting it started a week ago Weds. Cough and sore throat. Last Saturday I was down and out. Fever, chills, cough headache, achy shoulders, the works. All those symptoms lasted through yesterday. They have let up some today, just hope they don't reappear tonight. I was told this years "flu" bug can last up to two weeks. So I hope I am clear of it by this coming Wednesday.
Hey doc. Is it true you're planning another outage February 29, 30, and 31st?
I'm afraid so. It is completely out of my control. Please help spread the word so no one panics. God willing .... we will be back to normal on Mar 1.
GWS Doc ! Been fighting the same type od syptoms for about 3 1/2 weeks . Dropped about 15 pounds during the worst of it .
In other news : got an old Stihl 026 back to a neighbor no one could get it to run . New base gasket, impulse line ,carb rebuild .... works great . So, he brought me a Husqvarna 181SE . Built in ‘83 ,hasn’t run for 5 years ! This one will be a challenge .
I'm dreading the flu with my medical issues. 1. My abdomen is still causing problems from previous surgery and may require more surgery in the future. So throwing up is a whole different ordeal. 2. With my back being screwed, I force the wrong way I'm out of commission for 3 days unable to move.
Thanks John. Man, 3.5 weeks.That sucks. Like you the one good side effect so far is I've dropped 10 pounds. Could not eat at all for awhile, now I can eat but my taste buds are shot. Nothing tastes like I know it should.
Yeah , that taste thing is wierd ! I think it will clear up once the sinuses ,etc,are back to doing whatever they are supposed to be doing normally
On the 181SE front . . . Got it torn down ,She needs a flywheel ,and the left crankcase half is broken at one of the AV mounts . The fly wheels is not that big of a deal . The crankcase is either get it welded ,or a used case half . Both of which require splitting the saw . Once you go that far ,might as well do bearings ,rings ,seal etc ... Not inexpensive. Not sure the owner will want to invest that much $ into that saw . If not , I’ll see if He’ll sell it to me . I think it’s worth restoring some of the old saws to good working order .
Man, you guys have been hit friggin' hard. Wow. So far I have managed to dodge the bullet but hasn't been fun. I gave up on the biggest and baddest gun show of the year on Saturday because of it. Just decided it was not worth the risk. I have not missed going to that show in over 30 years.
When I was younger I would have said to hell with it and gone anyway, but not now. Discretion is the better part of valor I guess. LOL.

So far we've dodged the flu here. I haven't gotten the flu shot in years. Last time I got it I ended up sick for a week. Three appointments today. So I've been busy. Physio. Doctor. Now a specialist.
Sitting here looking across the road at the dam ..waiting for the grandiebugs to wake from their naps.
Thanks dear.
Well, it's cold and looks like we're going to get lots of snow over the next few days to add to what's already on the ground.
Just in time for the Olympics!
Doc, I cannot open that mobile hotspot option on the laptop.
I'll keep looking to see if there is anything else.
Later I'll take some pics to share of where I am now and some of the family.
Who knew I'd ever get a smart phone ?
Right now watching the Olympics opening ceremony.
Same here.
Gonna resist the temptation to sit on my ass and watch the olympics and go out and move some snow for a while. Temps in the 20's with no wind so it should not be too bad. Life is good.
No Olympics for me. Cars are on the track at Daytona. Watching practice. Then the arca race. I'll head out later to play the 5pm service.
Waiting for the next round of snow to move in.
Now they're saying the worst will come tomorrow.
Oh Doc, I did manage to get on the laptop thru the phone password late last night.
It was slowwwwww lol
Guess I'm getting used to the phone for forums now, and it's faster.
The kids are racing around the house, Ali is crocheting, Ty is at the Bryan shop ..like Butch said..life is good.
More Olympics today on the tube and gonna bring a pork roast up from the freezer to throw in the crock pot.

We are experiencing spring here so I guess I'll do spring things. Fire up the tractor and disc my arena and then haul some stuff out of the back yard, boards and such, get it cleaned up so I can crank up the fire pit. It's also time to plant the cole crops indoors, so I will probably do that too. Then if I have time I will make some jewelry and other crafty things for the Ren. Faire I am doing next month.
We are so far away from spring here, north of the woodchucks, not even worth mentioning. Besides, the groundhog saw his shadow, so six more weeks, at least.
We'll probably see the beginning of spring toward the end of march

You know the groundhog is only right about 35% of the time. Worse than flipping a coin!
Going to make some port block off plates for the 181se ,so that when it’s back together I can pressure/vacuum test it for leaks . Got a crankcase half to replace the busted one , another flywheel , and lucked out and found a next to impossible to find chain brake band . Waiting on oem gaskets ,bearings ,and clutch bell . Should put a grin on the owners face .
AND ,,, they are upside down ! How’s that happen ?

If it isn’t, I’ll just turn the guide bar over . . .
