3 years ago TWK loaned my WORX electric chain saw to a "bum" friend of mine. he's always bummed all my tools and equipment .. of which i have many. he had a tree fall in his yard and his cheap ass wife wouldn't call a tree service to cut it up. and it was a big tree. about 35 feet with a thick trunk and many large branches.
so i lent him my chain saw. that was three years ago. so today .. TWK finds out that he gave it back ruined. he burned out the electric motor! i had a rotten tree fall in my back yard by my pool and blocking my path on one side of my pool so no problemo i say .. i get my chain saw out today to cut the tree up and put the limbs out to be picked up. Plano won't take it if it's not cut into no more that 4 ft lengths and this tree is about 12 ft.
this shoulda been about 20 minutes tops to cut it up .. right up until i plugged in my chain saw and found that bum friend burned out the electric motor. and never told me. i should have tested it when i got it back. now i have ruined electric chain saw courtesy of this bum friend.
there's a reason he didn't tell me. he's about 130 pounds wearing lead lined combat boots .. TWK is much larger than him. so much larger he couldn't kick my ass sober (which he rarely is .. he's a "drunk") and me falling down drunk. i'd still kick his ass. and he knows it. i could fall down on him drunk and win. lol he couldn't lift me off of him if he had to.
but it gets worse! for once in a million years .. TWK actually needs a favor from him! so i can't call him up and bitch him out for ruining my chain saw until i get my favor. left him a few messages over the last 3 days .. it goes to voice mail just said " hey dude give me a call"
and it's even worse .. yes TWK has ... hand saws. several of them. and axes and hatchets. and a pick axe, and other devices to cut, dig and chop. because i didn't know my chain was ruined .. and i had to go get my state inspection sticker before the inspection station closed, i had no time to do it old school.
at least i got my sticker. now, tomorrow i'll get my hand tools out and cut the tree up old school and drag it out to be collected.
then i'm gonna get my "favor" then i'm liable to bitch slap this bum for ruining my chain saw!!!
this is the chain saw he ruined .. and yes i have a gas powered chain saw but i'd need fresh gas for it and check the spark plug. i have a plug gapper and some Emory cloth to clean it up it it's fowled. but again .. no time today because i didn't know this bum burned out my electric chain saw and i had to go get my truck inspected
