Well NUTS!!!. A full month of almost unbearable temps. Going out every few days early to beat the heat, cut a few hours and back home with a dinky load. Today the first real cool day so the plan was to remove a big tree down on a freinds pasture fence. Work about 4 hours...yes, I still can but it is pushing it hard, 3 hours is my norm now. Anyhow get out there, chop off all the small stuff with the 193, fire up the ms263, make two cuts in a big branch and throw the chain. No big deal, Onto the tailgate to discover it was my screwup. I sharpened chains last night and only tightened one bar nut. Next discovery was that the little bitty long adjusting screw as now broken.
Okay, back to the house after only 1 hour productive work, Grab coffee jug, bag cookies hop in care and off to the only dealer that will do small jobs like that for 'walk-ins'. 30 miles later arrive and immediately do a 180 back to he house where I now grab the saw. Back to the dealer and he fixes the screw and removes a DL from two overlong chains, jug of bar oil $36.00.
Tomorrow hopefully a better day and I may remember to engage my brain. Off to the small locust scrounge. I have one downer and 3 dead standing nice size locust waiting. I should finish the downer and perhaps fell and brush one of the others.

I've been working on my own beast of a trailer lol. Today we got the frame mostly cleaned off, Not sure when I'll get a chance to get after it again as I'd like to clean up the mulberry as quick as possible.
