    Wink As loud as a bandsaw??

    During a recent backpacking trip, my wife complained that she didn't sleep very well in the tent since I was "snoring as loud as a band saw."

    Personally, I felt insulted. I spent a lot of time tuning my bandsaw, and I'm confident that I snore MUCH louder than my bandsaw.

    Shucks...

    I'd be concerned if she said you snore as loud as a circular saw with a rusty blade.

    I noticed that you did not mention that you had a run in with bears, so I would have to say that however loud it was, it was loud enough to do the job!

    I accuse my wife of snoring like a D-9 Cat on a hard pull!!!! But she says the same for me too. I figure if I wake up without sore ribs, she had a good nights sleep.
    Been around power equipment all my life and can still count to twenty one nakey

    Ok, so it wasn't that funny, I'll go back to formulating the 2009 Maintenance schedule, which is what I'm supposed to be doing at work today.

    Talking But wait!!!!!!

    If you order our anti-snore nose blicks, we will double your order for the bandsaw. Just pay additional shipping ($8000.49).

    Have you tried laying your bandsaw on its side? I understand they snore less.
