Trucking Over Cabbage Hill

One of the most magnificent things I have ever seen in my life is the view from atop Deadman Pass, otherwise known as Cabbage Hill. This stretch of road runs between La Grande, Oregon and Pendleton, Oregon on I-84. If you ever get the chance to head to the northwest you really need to drive this road...however, make sure that you do it with care.

One winter, during my truck driving days, we had a delivery to make to Bend, Oregon. I was a fairly new driver who had only been at it for about a year at this point and I was very unfamiliar with Cabbage Hill or its reputation. Well, it just so happened that the weather turned nasty rather quickly, so when we arrived in La Grande, Oregon we learned that the road was closed over the mountain due to blizzard like conditions, with little to no visibility and ice of 12 plus inches on the road. We waited out the storm and after 3 days we were instructed that the road was now passable for vehicles with chains. Fortunately (or not) for us, the company that we drove for had supplied us with chains that we had placed on our rig and trailer for our journey across the famous Cabbage Hill.

It was decided, since my driving partner was too tired to drive after so much hassle with the chains and the fact that he had a hangover from the previous nights alcohol consumption, that I would be the one to drive over the Pass and stop once we reached Pendleton, which was only about 55 miles. Let me tell you driving that road in a semi with chains and a bunch of other semis is really a lot of fun, albeit a little slow and dangerous.

Well, I was driving along, irritated at my partner for making me drive in the first place on a road that I was not at all familiar with, so a few of the other drivers we were with suggested that I pull a little prank on him and we devised a plan.

I commenced to yell back at him in the sleeper, "Hey, what do I do if the brakes catch on fire?".

He responded, "You'd better jump out".

I grabbed the handle of the door, let it come open just a little and then slammed it closed after a few seconds.

You need to realize that I was only driving at about 20 miles per hour, but in his foggy state, all he could think of was brakes on fire, an icy road and deep gorges of the side of a huge mountain. He came flying out of the sleeper berth in his skivvies and just about landed in my lap...and began to berate me to the highest degree. Of course the whole time this was going on, I had the CB mike keyed up so all our driving buddies were privy to the entire episode. They hooted and hollered...what fun they got from that little episode.

A while later we arrived at the truck stop in Pendleton, Oregon where, believe it or not, they sell cattle prods. It was the first truck stop where I had ever noticed something like this for sale so I laughingly pointed it out to my partner....BIG MISTAKE! Although he now saw the humor in my little prank, you can guess what happened as soon as I turned my back. Ah well, turn about is fair play I guess.

Why does Oregon's population consist of mainly lesbians?

I drove through there recently and every woman had a flat top and a wallet chain. Is it because of the rural landscape? Are they bred there, or are they imported?

They just migrate there to hug trees and cry in the rain....i guess.
Maybe it is a State Initiative....."Ladies come to Oregon and find the woman of your dreams.:
Also lots of Wicca practitioners there who tend to be of the lesbian persuasion.

Really kind of a silly question.

Great chainsaw

I bought this to cut down a bunch of damaged 8 to 10 foot Emerald Green Arborvitae's that didn't fare well during the heavy snow storms in the North-East this year. This chainsaw made quick work of them. I was surprised an Electric Chainsaw could be so powerful - I feel I definitely got a lot of bang for the buck. Be sure you have a high quality extension cord and don't forget the bar and chain lube (I bought Sears Craftsman brand locally for $3.00).

Poulon Pro 400E Electric Chain Saw

After years using a gasoline chain saw and having so much trouble starting it I decided to try an electric chain saw. What a pleasure. I checked out many reviews of electric Chain Saws on the internet and decided to buy the Poulon Pro 400E 18-inch. It was very easy to use and cut thru a large tree with no problem. I won't be using my gas saw anymore.

Great Chainsaw

I had to take a tree down in my yard and didn't want to deal with a gas operated saw(I've had one before). Did some research and the Poulan Pro 400E was the saw that continued to be mentioned + you can't beat the price. It did not disappoint. Very powerful and not as noisy as gas saw. I highly recommend this saw to a homeowner that occaionally needs a chain saw for pruning or cutting down a tree with a trunk that is 16" or less.

Working on four downed trees in my back yard. This saw ia a BEAST! Cuts like buttah!!!! Easily matches my old gas Husqy 

The cord limits your range and the directions suggest a heavier guage extension cord than I'v been using (at around 100', but I've seen no dropoff in performance. 

Price was right, arrived in a couple of days, no tax, free shipping....no gas driving to the store! 

Highly reccomend!!!!!!

Don't worry, this isn't too big

Up until now, I've avoided buying a chain saw out of fear that I may injure myself. However, my pole electric pruner just wasn't cutting it for some of the larger branches that I wanted to cut. So, I decided to get an electric chain saw. Of course, I went to Amazon.com first and read saw all the excellent rating for this saw. I went to Lowes because I wanted to see what it felt like to hold it. This thing looked gigantic in the store and felt heavier than I expected in my hands. However, it was constrained by an anti-theft cable, so I could get a real feel for it. This seemed overkill. So, I looked at the 16" and 14" models. The 16" was just as heavy, but the 14" was super light. The reason for this is it's only 1.5hp. I almost bought it but was concerned that it would be underpowered and not much better than my pruner, and it didn't have all the cool features of the 400E. I ended up buying the 400E despite my reservations. I tried it out today. Wow! This thing cuts through small branches and trees like butter. I'm totally impressed. My reservations were unfounded. I now believe that the size and features make this chain saw safer and I'm very happy that I got it.

<>Odds are, if it's not getting gas, the Fuel Line is plugged from getting sawdust in the tank when opening the cap. See if you can remove the tank and flush it out and check the fuel inlet for plugs.

How much should I expect to spend on a decent chainsaw?

How much is a decent chain saw?...
Where should I buy one? (not off the internet, just stores i might be able to drive to)
When looking for a chainsaw, what specs should I be looking at, and what should the specs be?
I will only be using the chainsaw for cutting up trees into split-able logs(firewood), and possibly cutting down a tree or two if I need to... dont know if that makes any difference...

Look in Home Depot, Lowe's,etc. Lawnmower repair shops often sell chain saws and can be a good source of info. You want a saw that is big enough to handle the size of cut you want to use it for. Echo, Husquavera and Stihl all make dependable saws. A small independent store is likely to give you more information on reliability, and help you select the type of saw you need.

There are numerous options available to select and buy tools. For successful results, you must begin with a survey of your own needs. Be it Drill or Grinder or Chains, or Saws or Sanders, each tool involves options between various retailers, schemes, models, discounts and delivery time. The manufacturing brand you choose is also a significant decision. Your options may also depend on the technology being used by the leading brands like Festool, Hitachi Power Tools, et al.

You must also identify the other important aspects about the tool, such as its being cordless or not, durability, availability of Spare Parts and extended usability. Once the basic picture is drawn out, you can start with your search for the right prices. Here are some easy ways to find quality and cheap tools:

Tools Online

One of the easiest ways to buy tools is to buy them online. The main advantage of buying online is that it saves time significantly and is highly informative. Most of the brands and retailers have their own websites, which offer wider range than any indigenous market. You can conveniently find your required set of devices here. The price is also reasonable and the delivery is swift. You must, of course, check the shipment policy, insurance and post purchase benefits before striking a deal.. You are likely to find money-back schemes on these websites, thus lowering your risk of getting stuck with a bad one.

Discount Tools

You can find the best of the cheap tools at discount rates at almost all retailers. To gain this advantage you must keep yourself updated with the latest of schemes being run by the manufacturers and their competitors. Discounts can also be availed through bargaining or negotiating. Take the help of someone who has relatively better knowledge of the subject matter.

Tools for Sale

A rather familiar case around, wholesalers/ retailers often conduct sales to maintain the cash flowing. This can be spotted with regular watch on the promotional activities, advertisements and schemes across media, including websites. The tools for sale sometimes include the older tools as well. Hence, always check for its manufacturing date. You should also elaborately discuss the post purchase benefits on these tools.

Often used tools are sold after their requirement ends. You can find these tools in your neighborhood. However, you must be careful in its analysis. Seemingly healthy tool can be a Pandora box. Judge it by its working condition. Probably you can ask for a few days trial. If it suits your requirement, then you may go ahead and buy tools this way.

Chain Sharpener

Chainsaws: Having A Sharp Chain Is Vital

Chainsaw, the popular weapon of choice for many screen villains, still remains a nightmare for humble home users. Powerful and helpful tools, chainsaws are used around the house for a number of purposes, including pruning trees and scrubs, cutting firewood and even woodwork. For proper maintenance, chainsaws require a number of accessories, including carving bars, suitable stands and a reliable Chainsaw Sharpener.

With time, depending on the project, your chainsaw may become dull, and the chain will not produce the same precise cut. You will notice that it's time to reach for your chainsaw sharpener when the cut from the saw is not straight anymore or the edges are uneven. Dull chains also produce fine sawdust when cutting, while a sharp saw produces thicker chips of wood.

If you need to push your chainsaw harder to make a cut, it also means that the saw needs sharpening. The chain either is too dull or has been damaged. Newly sharpened chain will enter a cut easily even if you apply only slight pressure.

When you fail to sharpen the chain properly, you will loose power and momentum. As a result, you will consume more fuel. Your chainsaw will age faster and the engine will wear more, too.

Many people refrain from using chainsaws because of the potential dangers. Indeed, injuries caused by chainsaws are severe. The number of chainsaw accidents that required medical attention is getting higher every year, increasing two-fold in five years. 85 percent of injuries to chainsaw users resulted from a contact with a moving or improperly maintained chain.

To survive through many of your home improvement projects and to protect you against possible accident, your chainsaw must be kept in Good Condition. Keeping your chainsaw sharp will save you fuel, effort and may even prevent you from injury.

Today chainsaw sharpeners are powerful yet safe tools suitable for sharpening virtually all kinds of chains. To prevent injuries the chain is safely locked and grinding wheels are designed to adapt to all your sharpening needs. In many cases, a chainsaw sharpener includes a tool that allows checking the sharpness of the chain finding pitches and changes in gauge depth.

The chainsaw sharpener should be mounted in a well-lit area with plenty of room to work safely, away from any flammable substances. Always wear eye protection when operating a chainsaw sharpener and wear gloves when removing or installing the cutting chain.

Make sure the wheel guard is in place before starting the chainsaw sharpener. Replace the guard if it is damaged or cracked. Use only the correct file size and gauges recommended for specific types of chain.

Make sure your chain is tense if you sharpen it directly on the saw. You may not do a good job when you try to file a loose chain, and besides, you can even damage a chain. Before sharpening the chainsaw, always cleanse the chain properly to prevent soiling the sharpener.

Even if you are a handy do-it-yourselfer, return your chainsaw for re-sharpening to a qualified dealer after sharpening it for a few times yourself. Even with the correct tools, you run the risk of filing at an incorrect depth. A dealer has the equipment to precisely file the chain, and a professional sharpening will make the chain last longer.

Keep your saw clean and energy-efficient by sharpening the chain often and checking the catcher for damages. Clean the chain of your chainsaw with mineral spirits and a soft dense cloth when you finish working. Following these simple tips will keep your chainsaw in top working order.

how do you use an Electric Chain saw sharpener?

First, I would not use an Electric Chain Saw sharpener. The reason is that unless you really know how to use it, you will heat up the cutters and ruin it. Your best bet is to use a round file of the right size for your saw and have someone at a chain saw dealership (not one of the home stores) to show you how to do it. The most important thing is to get the right file size.
