Hi guys,

Thanks to all who provided food for thought on my filter question.

I think I’m going to go to Lowes and see what type of filter material they have and see what happens when I put a filter over that outlet in the fall. Thanks again for your thoughts. Lisa

Mike, I rebuild Stihl chainsaws, as a sideline. I can sell ya a good 076 and a 066magnum, if you need a couple of saws that'll last more than 1 day :D :D :D . What brand are your saws?

Kevin, pardon my ignorance but what does "burning blueberry ground" mean?

These are "wild blueberries". They are only about a foot tall. They tow a giant flame thrower behind a tractor and blast the blueberries. Some are propane, some are kerosene, but either one belches a huge flame out the back that's aimed at the ground. Why? It burns the ends off the berry branches thus pruning the berries. Each tip that get's burned now grows two branches instead of one. More branches equals more berries.

Stovepipe. I just replaced my Stihl o76 after 20+ years with a new Stihl. You get a lot of bang for the buck. I also like small engines that have a gas bulb for priming. I also have a new Huskavana backpack blower and trimmer. They all start right up. I got tired of spending half my time trying to get them all to start. They were all tired anyway.
