Hi NormK and AVB,
I was wondering where you went AVB and if all was well. Glad you're still about and keeping outdoor appliances on the road.
Have you noticed a trend towards battery equipment as is occurring here? Professionals are now turning to them. No more hassles with temperamental carbs and ever more restrictive tuning. This bypasses that problem. They don't pollute and they only run when you're doing work with them. They make a lot of sense with hand held equipment compared to transport.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
