It ain't the years; it's the mileage. ;)

Find something to do that interests you.

Good to know...I wish that I came from the factory with grease zerks on my joints.  Will have to drill and tap my own I reckon, preventative maintainence is unsportant
Boy, back in my day..

This is how I saw. 16.5" wide white pine. With Turbo 7s I could go faster.

Dave that's impressive. I want wireless. I had trouble viewing my clamp this afternoon sawing a customers cedar mantle and was trying not to damage the live edge surface (the bark). If I had wireless I could see the whole shebang.

The wireless only works on the head not for controling the hydraulics.  But don't worry the whiz kid we all know as Georgia Mountain Man aka Paul will probably figure it out in his sleep one night

 What he said. Generally, i don't mind that i can't run the hydraulics from the remote. If i had help, then i would want to be able to run the hydralics and Accuset from inside a heated and air conditioned vehicle.  ;D
