So maybe this isn't the place for this, but everywhere else looked worse--sorry if this is a r/lostredditors thing. Old dude (M44) hoping for thoughts from folks in this demographic about how someone (F60) might react. For context, she's a Lesbian, and has been out for decades. Like, the last time a dude was around there, she was giving birth to me.

Would you be upset or disappointed if your kid came out to you? I'm deeply lost in my own head about this, that maybe she'll be upset that my life didn't turn out the way she thinks it did. Or that she'll be worried about me. (I think she's already figured out grandkids aren't on the table at this point.) I'm flying up to Ohio this weekend to visit, and there's a couple of these lies of omission that I'm going to leave at the baggage carosel on my way out of the Cleveland airport: we're both too old for it, and I want her to be able to actually know me.

I've got a whole new perspective of what she must have gone through telling me when I found her. (I'm a big redneck looking guy with an obviously Texas-Rural address, there's no way it didn't cross her mind.) This sucks, how do you even go about having this conversation?

I was at a ranch auction today, and picked up a Dolmar-branded chainsaw. It's got a brand-new chain and husky bar on it, and I've been needing one around the place so I can quit hassling my neighbor to borrow his Stihl, and I figured I'd roll the dice on it. It's got a big ass bar on it, so I assume it's got the torque to run with it.

Never heard of Dolmar before, but the hammer price was right: $30. I figure that at that price if it fires up and I can use it once before it seizes the motor I've broken even. How did I do? Anything I should know about these? Having to use my phone instead of the computer, so I figured it would be more effective to ask. (Hoping I didn't buy some piece of Chinese off-brand crap, but for $32.47 after fees and taxes, I...kind of don't care.)

Appreciate your input!

Edit: It's a PS-510. Looks like that's a 50cc, 3.3 horse saw. Looks like it'll take a top end off a 5100 for about a half horse, and they've got domed pistons readily available if I end up breaking down the engine. Wonder how thick the con rod and wrist pin is in there, could be room to deck the head and drop some rotating mass too... (Dead serious: my service dog just started grounding tasks on me. "NO! BAD REDNECK! BACK AWAY FROM THE TOOLBOX! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, REMEMBER THE STRING TRIMMER!" I swear sometimes that dog looks at me the same way I look at my dad...)
