Chainsaw Repair

Thanks Mike, Skype doesn't work for me as I got too many distractions in my house,Lol. Kids, wife and dogs.

I started logging as a faller here in northern Manitoba in 1974 at 16. My first skidder operator partner Dale Quinn moved on to logging in Prince George/ Grande Prairie around 1979.
Around 1983 he showed up at a local Saskatchewan competition with a b-bomb hotsaw he bought off Ron Hartill. He couldn't get it to run in the competition and a couple of bikers in the crowd were yelling insults at him. Dale's ex stripper girlfriend yelled to the bikers to "F" off and took a swing at one of them.
In the under hand chop Dale put his axe into his shin.
Never heard from Dale again for 35 years until a year ago when I friended him on Facebook.  It turned out he did pretty good in the B.C. logging sports despite his rough beginnings.
Apparently he got Ron's b-bomb running pretty good and even won the PNE Canadian 100cc title once.
I competed only a few times in the Canlog competitions due to living here in Manitoba so far from B.C. But I did come close tying Ron Hartill in the 100cc and under class in Sayward in 1988. Had a good visit with him at his home at Cowichan Bay. Learned lots from him.
