    We had a warm day last weekend with a south wind. I think that moved a lot of birds into the area. Orioles, warblers, hummingbirds, etc. Bird activity really increased around here. I am on two FB wildlife pages here in MA, so I see a lot of updates on what is arriving.

    This is what I accomplished this morning. Late this morning....someone wanted to come along. :whistle:

    I ended up getting the bar pinched and had to work to free it. But...….. after that, the saw would not run correctly! It starts, but only idles!

    So, this is all the wood that was cut before the decided it had enough. The trailer measures 5X10.

    On the way out of the woods, I saw some cherry that someone had cut (probably forest service) and was just waiting for a new home. You can tell it had been there for awhile.

    Now....about that saw running problem....:headbang:

    Only idles; chain is free, will not rev up; throttle has no apparent affect on saw.

    Time for a swim! Lol

    I had to go into the inland lake last weekend for a moment. That water even though the ice has been gone for many weeks, was not warm.

    It's better than 2 years ago though, where opening weekend of Fishing season had inland lakes still frozen, so boats couldn't launch at a lot of lakes.

    That sounds like DexterDay 's neighbor...the first time I was at a GTG there his neighbor was out on his lawn tractor doing all kinds of things to his lawn ALL-DAY-LONG! It was hilarious!

    My first thought. Or all that pulling and tugging disconnected the throttle linkage.

    Yes. It was the throttle linkage rod that came un done during the release procedure.

    All fixed.
