WELL..........clearly I've overestimated your previously unlimited generosity. Now fork over that .......*ing screw!:laugh:

Wow..your overly pent up aggression must work well in your profession...those poor, poor trees.

Kill, kill, kill, its all I do, all I care about. Nothing but devastation left in my wake when a logging job is done. Always disappointing to me to come back to a logging job years later and observe the seedlings coming up. Makes me feel like I didn't do my job well enough.:)
A true villain

I know you would. Its just a matter of principle. Sometimes work ethics are all that keep us going. Frickin trees, man. They're asking for it.....they're all asking for it. Don't care about anything but themselves.

Sooooooooo that were clear...I shouldn't expect a large contribution to the THAA "Tree Hugger's Association of America"?
:laugh:

Ooh, I've been known to hug a tree or two in my day. Just not while they remain vertical. Its a whole bunch easier to get up close and personal with a tree when its in the horizontal position, don't you think?:)

Just for the sake of political correctness, You folks do know that I'm joking, right?
Loggers want to do the least damage to the land possible while harvesting the timber.
Reprod (young non-merchantable trees) are protected to the best of our ability.
Environmental damage happens during timber harvest. It's especially ugly in the spring and early summer when you know that deer, nesting birds, all species that live in your area are particularly susceptible to what is basically a total destruction of their home. That's always bothered me. But it is what it is. I could portray it more graphically but I won't. Everybody wants to see the wild critters happy but nobody wants to pay $10 apiece for 2x4's, right?
Ok, ok, ok, I'm done. Just didn't want you folks to think I was a monster. Just doing my job.:)

I understand completely, just like a hunter is always accused of destroying wildlife, when Hunters put more money and effort in to conservation than any other group. Thought you made a great villian through :)

I'm down to one chalice (that's not used right now) and up to 4 RM2s. Two are in use with Nextel XC 116 1/32 ceramic wicks. The other two are stashed with my backup grand.

I just started running a grand bottle cap oring in my catchcups. Keeps the catchcup completely dry.

Love the RM2s.

Any idea what size that o ring is?

Hey I think I need one of those screws.:)

Say Rog, what kind of screws you looking for? I got SS M2 4mm that fits the RM2, A7 but nut sure bout the others. It's 1mm longer than the RM2 screw so it'll stick up above the post a tiny bit, if you running the coils legs through the post holes it shouldn't make a difference. BTW the ones I got are phillips head that can take a little larger philips screwdriver than OEM. PM me your addy and I can send them out tomorrow :)

Well.......Gil is loaning me an RM2 to see if I'm smart enough to use a rebuildable atty. To make it more challenging, he's sending it sans one of the screws. He says it makes fine contact if the wire is just twisted around the post. The only reason it came up on the board is because he spilled the beans about his wife finding all those screws around his computer with the monster magnet. One of those screws rightfully belongs on that RM2 that's coming in the mail but Gil won't cough it up. If he can make that RM2 work minus a screw, dammit so can I. Thanks for the offer though.:)
