Well, our ice storm this week convinced a long dead tree to fall - partly. It got hung up in an oak, which was nice. Otherwise, it would have taken out my power, phone, and cable.
Since it was on my neighbor's property, I went over to tell him about it, and ask permission to cut it down. Being the hardworking, jump in and get it done kind of guy he is, he immediately grabbed his WildThing while I rustled up my 039.
Which refused to run.
Anyway, watching him attack that thing was, uh, exciting. I stayed waaay back. Lots of enthusiam, ya see. Lot's of smoke coming off the bar. He kept complaining that his "blade" was dull.
Once down, I fired up my Echo and we bucked it. Lots more smoke off his bar. Lots! I got a look at it. I'd never before seen a bar that has turned blue from heat, right around the front sprocket!
Anyway, he did manage to burn his way through a few times. Here's what the result looked like.
Didjya ever see the like?
