I agree with you about the smell of sassafras when splitting it. I set aside about a 14” round and I am planning to make a Swedish log. I am curious to see how it will smell while it burns. (My favorite is red cedar. I haven’t tried cherry yet.) Sorry about your dry conditions for the garden. We have had quite a bit of rain here in RI and MA this summer.

As a logger you might get away with this but as an arborist you’ll have to get used to being precise with a chainsaw so practice being precise and yeah you’ll ruin some chains but it’s better to ruin chains on the ground while practicing to be precise than to cut your rope what is holding you up because you didn’t practice. I personally try to always buck my logs without having to turn them around and without touching the ground. This really helped me getting more precise with my chainsaw… it also helped me getting rid of 30lv (15 bucks) per ruined chain, luckily I did get a little chain grinder which makes life easier and cheaper lol 😂

Long log and no cant hook at hand, you need a plan. This is quite common in log yards. For firewood cutting out in the woods you can pick a safe bucking point to reduce length and then roll the segments. Eating dirt with your saw makes a guy feel like a loser!

I have run this one below the maximum speed until recently. My newest saws have auto-tune, and I have readjusted the high speed on this one and the 385 to match the notes of the new ones. I like my saws to speed up a bit at the end of a tank, rather than sag, just to protect the piston and cylinder. The new ones (550 and 572) have demonstrated that it isn't necessary to do that.

I was sitting quietly on my porch, in my favorite Adirondack chair when something stung me just above my knee. It hurt but I didn’t give it a lot of attention and continued to watch your video. Then I got stung again under my chin. A small yellow wasp landed on my stomach and I killed it before it stung me again. I didn’t recognize this thing, it was smaller than the yellow jackets I am used to. My knee is quite red and swollen and I am presently jowled. A bacon soda poultice has help. I’ve had worse. I unfortunately didn’t finish your video.

We really need to know if there is a problem needing treatment.

I'm doing the treadmill next week, and we will see what the experts say. Self monitoring, plus the Holter monitor results show that I have pre-ventricular contractions 35 to 50 percent of the time, plus many missed beats, plus frequent arrythmias. Sitting down and doing nothing while waiting for Dr appointments would be a killer, so we get up and do our normal routine. I take a baby aspirin every day, hoping to avoid a blood clot from the irregular beats, and have cut back on regular coffee. Susan's mother had an irregular heartbeat, and that caused her to have a stroke, so we take wonky heartbeats seriously! We are both past 70, and we look at every day as a bonus, and want to take good care of our health. We will post updates as we know more.

I am sure you want to get to the bottom of this and figure out what’s going on. Like a tree with a bad lean, the doctors will figure out what to do. I hear you about not wanting to be idle. I think keeping busy is helpful for whatever ails you. I heard a saying once and I use it often, “To have a garden is to believe in the future.” I often interchange with the word, project. Same idea. It’s all about finding the right pace. I sometimes will take a break and take a quick power nap for 15, 20 minutes. I am with you on each day, working men like us a century ago didn’t usually make it past 40 or 50. Life is good. Good luck with the test.

@@DavidN23Skidoo That's a good long running saw. What oil/gas mix are you running? I like my 13 year old 345 and would like to keep it for life. Back in 1972 I mowed a lot of neighborhood lawns. My day bought me a lawn-boy commercial push mower for the expensive (back then) price of $225. Cast aluminum deck, steel ball bearing wheels, 1 gallon gas tank, industrial 2 stroke motor. We ran 20:1 gas:oil mix using regular old motor oil. Probably just straight 30 weight or 10-30 maybe. Some guys ran 18:1. I mowed a lot of lawns with that mower.
