    DianeS - Listeria spreading, culling the rabbits

    Scary huh? Each customer gets assigned a ip address... that's how they track it. So when you search google they track this, each advertisment whether you just scroll over it or click on it tracks that. You can disable cookies which will help some. Companies like google and facebook hoard...

    DianeS - Listeria spreading, culling the rabbits

    The adds are related to your serch history. Your internet provider tracks where you go and sells this info to advertisers. That is why you will see things that are seemingly coincidental. I have a goodyear commercial on the bottom of mine, I have been shopping for prices online for tires...

    Sharpening the chainsaw

    Just remember when you try and plunge use that bottom corner NOT THE TOP. I kind of start at an angle, then turn into it as I plunge. I think you can see that also in the vid.

    Sharpening the chainsaw

    Joel, With plunge cutting you leave a portion of the back of the tree while you set the hinge. In the video you can see the bar come out the other side of the tree. This is what he is refering to when he says the strap. With the old "chasing hinge" you made your notch and then just cut in...
