Full until you get the little pop, then half choke otherwise it floods

I’ve got a Stihl farmboss for a chainsaw after having a few lesser makes, the Stihl is heavenly, starting is two pulls until you get the little pufft of it firing then move the choke position and away we go. Restarts when warm always one pull. My Stihl blower has easy start and it is. Works great. These will last longer than me but I am thinking of a smaller electric chainsaw and have been looking at the Stihl ones, they are getting very good recommendations from friends

... could Spring be right around the corner? Watching the feeder outside my kitchen window I'm seeing Blue Jays, Cardinals, and Chickadees all showing up in pairs.
Sixty Five would be a lot nicer than Twenty Five.

We got down to -22F this week and now getting a little above 0 today, the feeders have been very busy, 6 to 10 cardinals at a time 4 or 5 blue jays, countless junkos , house finches and black cap chickadees. Then the mourning doves and everyday hairy and downy woodpeckers.
But spring soon, I wish but no, don’t expect to see robins for two months yet.
Stay warm

Always buy when leaving your country of residence, some of the comments have talked about you can't imagine the cost involved if you have an emergency outside of the US, haha, if your not American you can't imagine the cost of an emergency in the US. $45,000 to have my gall bladder removed in Florida, fortunately I had insurance that covered everything, medical, flights, out of pocket expenses even surcharges on credit card for international expenditures. make sure your insurance covers trip cancellation as well.

looks somewhat like a Nuthatch that has had a bad day, but I am no expert on identifying birds, lol

A huge coyote reaches 50lb, average adults are 30+. A 60 lb dog that couldn't fight one off would be a very gentle dog.
Our neighbors had a pack of hunting hounds, about 6-8, pity the coyote that got them pissed off.
Or one of these Sheep dogs bred to protect livestock from wolves. The average coyote would be a chew toy one of these.

The problem for our domesticated dogs is that there is usually not one coyote but 3, people are so used to spotting one and think it is "the lone wolf" when what you need to be doing is start looking around for its friends.
My trail cam often shows one but if I place the cam in a better spot lo and behold there is another 1 or 2 getting their picture taken. I have seen one walking down our road and then the two outliers on either side of the road farther out. It is all part of hunting for them, one will scare up the game to start running and the other two will be positioned to nail it. "Wiley Coyote" for sure.
Don't underestimate them, they are wild and mean. Neighbours lost their dog last winter, hopefully they don't lose the new one this year.

Thank you. I must look into the "painter tool." I'll look on YouTube for help with the Painter Tool.
I can see the advantage of the "painter tool" would be ability to skip over some images and just select the one I want to assign an attribute.

Hi Dave, you probably know but just in case, while you are busy selecting photos in the matrix (grid) view, you can use the shift click for multiples as you said or you can hold down the command key and click on any photo you want to be included, another way of skipping over ones you don't want in the group you are selecting.

I’ve tried a few different cable options, all with the same result, ‘no device connected’; however, the light is on and I can use it minimally. The Wacom software still doesn’t see it.
man, this is not good, the model number for the Intuos pro 4 is PTK640 and according to the Wacom website it should be compatible with the driver that was released in 2020 6.3.41 but then your model is not listed under the latest driver for Mac 6.3.44
maybe you have tried this but if you haven't why not try and download and install the 2020 driver on your iMac and see if your tablet works then.
I had a tablet from the late 90's and I managed to get it working with newer drivers around 2010 but not for long.
good luck, I am using mine as my mouse right now with a bluetooth keyboard and an external monitor. It would really burn my butt if something as simple as a pointing device couldn't be connected. I suppose all the manufacturers like to put a timeline on their devices so they can keep making new ones and selling them.

So this leads me to the cable perhaps. I use a usb to usb-c adapter. Perhaps that’s the issue.
I connected to my new MacBook Pro with a usb-c adapter and had no problems. The adaptor took a very stiff push to get the Wacom cable fully inserted

fyi the bird is an Anhinga and that pose is usually for drying their feathers after being in the water for food. You might want to work on steadying the camera more when you shoot to get a sharper image. Your focus looks a little soft.

Hi, I bought the PTH660 Intuos Pro Medium. Even it's real estate is pretty large however, you can define the size of the tablet you want to use. I picked it because the medium and the large had more sensitivity than the small version at the time, I do not know if that is still true.
the other advantage of the medium is that it is about the same physical size as my MacBook Pro 14" and they both fit nicely in the carry bag when going to photo club (if we can ever meet in person again), seminars or vacation.
I too tried the iPad Pro 12.9 with a pen and screen share, it just isn't the same feel yet it should be easier as you can actually see the image on the iPad.
I bought mine about three years ago and it runs great on Monterey with the M1 pro chip

Then why haven't you sold them and just use your windows computers as they are so easy for you. Considering windows is pretty much a copy of the graphic interface that the Macs had in the 80's while we were still typing DOS commands, I don't quite understand how the present Mac interface is all that difficult to use. As for finding anything in the crazy file system I must ask how hard can that be for you, click on finder, type in the file name you're looking for in the top right corner of the finder window and away you go. If you like you can arrange your file display to be a list just like in the windows machines.
I have a windows computer and several Macs, they are all easy to use. but really you are stuck because of their incredible arrogance and greed, not at all like that Bill Gates guy and Microsoft. How many versions of the windows operating system have you had to buy over the years as compared to how many Mac iOS' but Apple is greedy.
If a company doesn't look after it's own bottom line then that company will flounder and fail hopefully not like the car companies and the banks who had the government bail them out (that would be with our money).
I just bought a new Apple computer and I hope I live long enough to need another one!!!!! Which I will gladly buy!

I don't think the ladies would like that, looks like it doesn't have the toilet seat. And we all know how they feel about leaving the seat up - let alone no seat at all. 
I noticed when I was in Portugal toilet seats seemed to be optional in many public toilets.
