Hi David,

     I lived in BC for almost ten years and never owned a chainsaw. Everyone
else in the province seems to own three and whenever I needed one I was deluged
with offers of both loaner chainsaws and --- most often -- offers to come
over and do the work involved. BC folk just *love* their chainsaws. Get your
Stihl
working, sell it and your neighbours will take care of rest --- probably
clearcut your yard in the process. Of course, you may just feel the same BC
genetic
need to own a chainsaw or two. Actually, I'm just jealous --- I wish I lived
there
still (or is that stihl). I should pack up my Westy (obligatory content) and
move West.

Cheers,
