    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Over the counter, GABA. Rx, gabapentin. I take gabapentin for my arthritis to help me sleep. The wife takes it for RLS. I will tell you this though, if you are someone who responds to GABA it is one of the best sleep aids in the world. I have insomnia that that even 20mg of melatonin and hard sleeping pills won't touch. GABA isnt that magical at making to sleep, however it significantly increases the quality of your sleep. It makes 4 hours act like 6-8 hours for me when I'm hurting or just dealing with pain. I buy it in bulk on amazon. Start off with one heaping teaspoon and move up from there. It's proven to help with GH release in white papers. I take it for the quality sleep though. I dont know it helps me with GH release exactly but the higher quality/more sleep will help you be less prone to unhealthy snacking. It's a staple supplement for me lately and any time my body is rebelling against me. I think true nutrition has it but this is an amazing price and if you have prime.... well there you go. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E7TWV4I/ref=mp_s_a_1_13_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1531487103&sr=8-13&keywords=gaba&th=1&psc=1 We buy it by the kilo. Wife doesn't respond that well, so she edges on 3 tbsp and is 90 pounds lighter than myself. It seems to be incredibly safe even in high doses. Clinical trials go >15 grams with no issue. Read up on the white papers and if you like what you read check it out. I find it incredibly helpful when I'm struggling to get rest.

    We make a sour cream refrigerated pickle. One of my childhood favorites, onions cucumber and served on fresh cut tomatoes.

    It's best when it's local and fresh.

    Pork chops and potatoes "braised" on crocks with cheese and cream. It's like scalloped potatoes but so much better.

    When it rains it storms, when it storms hails. I'm sorry it's hitting you back to back. It's good you can find focus through the loss.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I think I made my point poorly, and didnt understand your statement. You change your sled frequently, but that's for different reasons than things wearing out, no? I digress. What I understood from the injected sleds is that it is a failure point and you don't want to be stranded. I was saying the mtronic has a smaller chance to leave you "stranded" based on the people I know using them. While the state and city would keep the old power heads running for a decade, they did constant maintenance and they would just stop working all the time. They just shit out randomly, or what seemed randomly. They guys using the new m tronic saws had way less problems with saw running, as in they were more reliable. They haven't been in service for more than a decade though so I my friend who uses them now cannot comment on extreme longevity. More than half of those employees are cruel to the tools, is something that I should address. I have witnessed people throwing power tools into truck beds and just letting them bounce around. I know that's something you wont be doing so it's not a completely fair comparison. The BMW comment I get. Hit close to the kidneys there. Haha! I fantasize about havive some pro touring muscle car that will stay with me for life but I know that I have no skill to keep it running. At least at this point in my life. I actually purchased the bimrbecause it had the best warranty of anything I drove that made me happy and I fit in. Being >200 pounds lighter is going to change things when I shop this next time.

    What fun is it if you dont overanalyze everything and everything use cases that you will never have and make sure that you get the best deal possible? Come on man, this is the interwebz. It's for porn, cat videos, and measuring hypothetical penises!

    It's weird that they used in in all of the "pro" saws first if it wasn't more reliable. The temperature and elevation factors maybe the best reason. A pro would travel and cut all year and might not understand the engine, as the just understand cutting trees. From what I can tell the stihl version is more reliable with the technology than without. Apparently the recalls were for something unrelated. The Husky autotune did have problems originally but it's no longer an issue it seems like. But a German saw does look better in the back of the BMW than the Swede.

    My arthritis flare up has lasted almost a whole month now. I'm getting pretty annoyed with this.

    Can the mtronic be tuned in a traditional sense? I know some people have put a standard tunable carb on their M tronic saws.

    As I said. Then you can port mine. ;-)

    I meant slaying weeds. Hahahaha! Nice boss. Good team building in the mosh pit.

    I'm staying weeds. Stay metal!

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Actually.... sounds like you could build one yourself. When you're done you can port and tune mine!

    Impress then with your new craigslist 660!

    Hahaha! I love busting out the 661 for sapling sized weeds. Good for testosterone production.

    The shop I went to also encouraged me to get a bigger saw. They said that smaller saws would have trouble with a longer bar. Now I know that to be bullshit but I felt like I should take their advice at the time.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I admit to knowing nothing about the 50cc and under market until you got me looking. I never climbed a tree and when I was bucking and limbing I always had something like the 440. I didnt even realize that was a big saw. We had smaller saws in the shop, but why would I grab that? All the little guys wanted those and I was just interested in dropping the tree. I didnt have to be nimble and run around for more than the time it takes the tree to fall. When limbing I just let the saw ride the trunk and got to it. Everything went into a chopper or logs for firewood. The only time the state dealt with larger hardwood was if something fell when it wasnt supposed to and then it was just cut it into chunks just small enough to throw into an industrial chipper. I just wanted a big saw for one big tree and because I wanted it. Now I have a big saw to cut down toothpics.

    That's wild. I'm used to RPMs cutting faster. Sounds like we just came up with a good business model Sean.

    2 for the price of one is a sexy offer though.

    As far as I can tell, stihl make the most powerful saws and they definitely have room to go up. I got all wet watching a bunch of 661s with muffler and filter mods. Get it ported and it will scream.... ah. Someday...

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Ah. I was searching stihl vs Echo, didnt notice it was a husky in the video. Maybe he only sells the mtronic ones. Dealer wants to be the one to fix it. Try calling/email stihl directly. Use your German contacts bro! As I said, on all the arborist sites the mtronic is better at being tuned up and running longer than the non m tronic. I know you can also put in a different carb, port it, and have a different muffler/max flow filter with the m tronic system. The fastest saws are from garage tuners working on the m tronic saws.

    https://m.stihlusa.com/products/chain-saws/professional-saws/ms261/ http://www.dolmarpowerproducts.com/productcatalog/chain_saws_gasoline/ps-5105_h/index.html This shows the stihl as a 261 with no computer and has more power than the dolmar. In this case, the dolmar may have a couple hundred RPMs but is .1hp lower. Maybe I'm reading it wrong?
