Pap, Big Earl will be blowin' by 100-200 miles out. In Nassau County we should get some wind and showers ... not bad. But it could be worse out on the eastern end of Long Island. But as you would expect ... I'm ALWAYS ready! Tony

I would say the wire saw advertised looks very poor. I used one ages ago of similar design and it tried to friction burn its way through the limb - with nothing to hand I blew the limb off with 2 3" magnum loads. I have since used the saw on my leatherman to takes limbs off up to 4" in 'emergencies'. The leatherman is an exceptional piece of kit. I have seen saws that look like a chainsaw chain that look quite effiecient?
