OxBlue is what we use. It sends pictures via cell I believe.

Got a MS 290 for $50 from a co-worker. It had been sitting for years (bad gas). Cleaned it up and have been dropping 2-3 trees per weekend ever since. Sometime it is hard to start if I have been running it, turn it off, drag branches for awhile and try and re-start. Is this common? Also, the...

cheap Chinese racks wife got me - but works

Got my vice moved to it's new home. Also took an old ping pong table and re-purposed it as a workbench top.
