I used a 3120xp for a couple of days . Dealer (a good friend) let me use his when I was deciding between it and the 395xp . The 3120 is 119 cc’s lots of power but it’s heavy . The 395 is 94cc’s but it more manageable . Looked at the 880 Stihl but the dealer wouldn’t budge on the price . Don’t think they can discount their saws has to be a corporate sale price . They even go after people selling new ones on eBay .

This 1800s house where I'm working was built along a railway. It was a short line that only ran from the ore mines to the furnace, about 13 miles. Long gone without a trace, other than the grade. His long lane back runs along the grade that's grown over. Where you curve to go around the house, if you look straight back into the woods you see the long straight cut. I can't describe, but it feel very different back in there. I guess you can sense the history

very cool.it's very similiar here.an old coal mine town with mines and railway tracks everywhere,leading from the mines to the railyard and a big wharf out into the ocean where they'd load coal aboard sailing ships.the bottom end of our property borders on an old railbed.i know it was there but the tracks are long gone,Mother Nature is taking it all back and growing it all over but the railbed is clearly visible.somedays you can still smell the coal and i find coal in the woods where it spilled out of the rail cars.i go along that railbed mowing grass and sometimes just sit there and think about years ago,you can feel it.very cool.

So you know what I mean. I learned no so long ago that coal and iron was a big part of Nova Scotia history.

How about this place I know nothing about. The soil and rock are red in this area which is where Francis Scott Key's estate , Terra Ruba, is located The house is the same stonework. This building is a corn crib. Just the ends are stone. The rest is framed with vertical wood slats.

It's interesting how some things are there in plain sight and you don't notice. I had never put any thought into Nova Scotia until I read this. Now I am intrigued.

I hope to visit there some day. Nature and history are way up on my favorites list

I never thought about the Appalachian Mountains being past Maine. Recently I was looking at a geological map and I realized a little bit of western Nova Scotia is part of the mountain range.

The British Colonies were as much, or more, about tapping natural resources as about establishing settlements.

I wish I could get in to take pictures. In a town west of here they have a spring that flows an amazing amount of water. It supplies the whole town as well as a couple others. The site is all sealed off since 9/11. My friend works for the town water works. That spring is from an aquifer under Canada!

I stopped to get a picture of the Blazer in front of the Mayflower II. While I was there I ended up in a conversation with a couple of guys that were admiring my truck. One of them told me he was there in his Callaway Corvette. I showed him the picture I had taken a little while ago of it.

It can be interesting how small the world can seem sometimes.
