Well I changed jobs, got my dump truck driving gig and ever since have had zero time for nothing, have been running 5 days a week about 10-11 hour days, last pay period I pulled 112 hours for the 2 weeks! I have not been able to even look at my poor saw, it whimpers ever time I walk by. I need and want to get back out there but I am so beat on the weekends, plus trying to play catch up with stuff around the house I don't have time.
I did get me one of those propane heaters that mount on top of the propane bottles and out it on a 30 gallon one so I got some heat this winter when I do get a chance to get out to make some dust, have already gave it a spin and it does spit off some good heat, its a dual burner but may only need one.
Hopefully I will catch up to all the post I have missed one of these days, and hope to you guys and gals around, but work is more important than play.

Got to make hay while the sun shines! Your saw will be ready and waiting when the time is right.

I am sure we will see you when you get chance to pop in and say Hi. Take care.

Your Job keeps you fed and a roof over your saw (and your family) As Bill says "Your saw will be ready and waiting" when you are. Just call in here when you can to say hi.

It's good to have steady work.
I also bought one of those tank top propane heaters (single burner) and will be trying it out soon. Hope it works well.

Yup got to have that paycheck.
Yes I already love my heater, even with one burner on low it put out some good heat, and think on low with both burners it will run 36 hours I think with my tank, but either way if I get to saw or work out there I will have a source of heat, last winter I used my little single bottle heater it used those small lantern propane bottles that screwed in to the bottom, did good to keep feet and legs warm but my fingers got cold.
Makes it hard to handle thin blades with gloves on, even tried those rubber coated ones.

Beats the H**l out of no job, rack up the hours and dollars while you can.
Lots of folks still out of work.
Pretty soon I'll be out of sawing for another 6 months.
Argh.
