I have always loved Wierd Al

all the way back to the Dr Demento days- and the most recent stuff is great, especially “Tacky” which the daughter and I sing and dance around the house much to the disgust and consternation of the Ogwife.

On the other hand, THIS is simply masterful.

Thanks, mr B.

Got the lawn mowed and shortly thereafter decided to do some sawing to move toward getting the backyard clear. So I trudged up the hill to get the saw and back down it to begin sawing; I got about halfway through a log when it threw a chain. Turns out I had removed the blade brake and not adequately tightened it back up the last time I used the saw. more’s the fool me.

Anyway, it damaged not the blade, but the gear teeth on back, so it wouldn’t go into the bar properly.

Thankfully, Mr B had given me a spare chain and bar off the husky he grenaded, so I was back in operation posthaste.

the other chain will be usable again but I will have to work on a few gear teeth with a dremel.

I’m still extremely pleased with the Husky, and I expect it to live a long time because I use it neither as hard or as much as mr B does.

Still have about a solid ton of wood to move.
