I didn't want to get eaten! The Bears are out this Winter due to all the warm weather. AExcellent video. I especially like the fact that you were considerate enough to touch the ear on the lading. I guess that is similar to what they teach about acknowledging peoples pets, lol. Did you give him a little bear treat?
I have a great muffler. Happy to sell you one with 1 1/2 fittings. Hose too if you need. Should be up in purchase page on Mikey's board shortly.Don't know if it is the video or not, but your machine seems very quiet.
I used my portable yesterday and left it in the garage. Still the noise from my portable seemed louder then you standing over the machine.
