No, I got lots and lots of glues and tape and, uh, such. LOTS!

But nothing beats an air conditioned ER with a diluaded drip and pretty nurse. Hell, after the drip it don't even matter if she's pretty... much less a she.

Anyway:

With my experience with gummed up things I would probably buy a 3 dollar bottle of mineral spirits if things got bad enough. ****! Sometimes I can't let go of the saw!

You can do a lot with mineral spirits. You can also do a lot with toluene.

You must be severely nose blind or dead! Quick! Check yer pulse!

Oh I can smell diesel, just not in the bar oil mix.

Diesel works well for thinning bar oil. Just don't use too much. If you don't have any diesel hydraulic oil will work. Again, it doesn't take much.
Don't put used motor oil in anything.

Had 4 lots to clear today and most of the trees that the bobcat couldn't take down were all pine so I had quite a bit of sap cutting to do. At lunch, the Bobcat operator told me about how he uses power steering fluid a little bit in his saw with his normal fill-up of bar oil interesting thought didn't really inquire about it anymore after it got me thinking he's on the Bobcat all day and I'm the one felling the trees maybe I'll give it a shot tomorrow
