Sometimes I help a arborist friend of mine in the evenings. We had large tree trunk to remove in town. We cut it up small enough to throw it on a trailer but we couldn't lift the crotch on to the trailer. I grabbed my saw thinking I'll cut it in two, my friend says "I'll do it, I got a brand new chain that will rip right threw it".
It's just about dark and he hits the crotch with the saw screaming,
all of a sudden there is a cloud of white dust and orange sparks so bad it looks like he's using a grinder. After cutting about an inch deep and stopping, I reply, "That new chain is awesome, but it sure didn't last long!" .
Turns out the crotch was poured full of concrete and his new chain looked like he tried to saw an anvil in two.
Damn, I hate that when that happens. It seems like it happens to me a lot lately.
