After 16 years

[Larry]

and 250,000 BF she left me as I'm becoming too old to turn her logs.  She was also showing a bit of animosity towards the new lady in my life.  Probably jealous of all the levers on my new love.  I did give her a new battery, grease job, and fresh fuel before our last meal together...a really nice cedar log just a few short hours ago. 

We were both virgins when I first brought her home.  We made all kinds of stupid mistakes but she showed her loyalty by paying for the land we now call home.  A quick tear was shed as she went up the drive on her way to a new life this afternoon.

May she continue sawing in harmony with her new mate.

I finallydecided I was never going to use my old saw again and gave it to a freind the other day. Hard to turn it loose, but it was just sitting there going to waste. At least now it will have a little work to do.

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
: : : : : : :

Nice story and really a happy ending, or rather beginning.  It sounds like both of you will be just fine.

i wondered if you was gonna let go of the saw. i was afraid to ask since we are close enough i could drive to get it. if i could convince my wife to run a mill it woulda worked out good.
sounds like it worked out ok? are ya gona miss her?   pc

That is why I never love something that can't love me back! But don't listen to me I still have my first woodmizer. My friends say the only thing I have one of is a wife.

It is a little sad.  I remember getting rid of our first mill a couple months ago to be replaced by a B-20.  I hope the new owners are treating her right, but sawing with the new one makes it all seem worthwhile.  Levers are good.

I sold my first will to Warren here on the forum and have kept in touch with him just to know how she is doing. I have never been connected with any other equipment that I have had till that mill but watching her go down the drive way was like watching your child leave home for the first time.

i hate to have to point out my own ignorance.

if i had found the forestry forum earlier, my first and second circle mills would probably still be on the home place and set up and running. i had some troubles with the blade dishing on my m-14 and i didnt know how to go about getting it straightened out. i even went and talked with a mill near me that runs a circle headsaw, but they were no help. they wouldnt even tell me who to call to doctor my saw. i never got the big saw set up at my place simply because i couldnt make the m-14 saw work.
i do get along with my bandsaw and have no regrets about buying it.  i was a little saddened by seeing the circle saws go down the road.   
heres a new one    TGIFFF.     thank God i found forestry forum.
