What is it I'm supposed to be oiling? The rubbing area between the

Yes. Try not using some and watch the motor bog down as the friction
between the bar and the chain turn the both of them hot enough to cause
blisters.

Thanks. It's gotten pretty hot, but it's never slowed down, I think,
probably because the chain is very loose. I tried to tighten it
months ago and I don't remember what happened that it's still so
loose. I probably used the wrong technique.

But anyhow, I've been spraying the oil on the bar or the chain from
the side, and letting it run towards the edge of the bar, so this
means I've been doing that part the right way.


I'm about 3/4 done with my tree. There's still a small amount above
my head stuck in the bushes and a tree outside the fence, and there
are some logs too heavy for me to lift, or at least to throw over the
40" fence, across the 5' easement, and down into the stream bed.
These are two 8 or 10 foot pieces, so maybe tomorrow I'll cut them
short enough to throw.

I left about 12 or 15 feet of trunk still attached to the ground, and
it didn't pop up Tuesday, right after the rest of the tree was cut off
of it, but since Wednesday, it's gone from a 30^ angle to the ground
to a 45^ angle.
